My name is Phillip Fontes, and I'm the owner of Enduring Repairs. I have a philosophy when it comes to home repairs - quality workmanship means putting in quality time. This might mean my prices are not as competitive as the next guy, but there's no competition when it comes to the lasting and excellent work you'll get from me. The fastest jobs and the cheapest jobs are often the jobs that do not endure. I promise I will give you the same quality work I would put into my own home. I believe in taking the time to do things right so I don't have to take time to do them again. This most definitely means that I stand behind my work. Under it, on top of it, and in it. Too often my friends joke with me. "Phillip, the way you build things, it could fall out of a truck and keep on going". Let me create in your home, an enduring repair. Thank you.

"Have used them now on two projects. Great work and customer service. Would trust them with anything and very fair prices."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

An earthquake retrofit is essential for safety in an earthquake-prone area. Without proper retrofitting, your home is at risk of sliding off the foundation, shifting, or collapsing.

You may also require a retrofit if your home was built before 1980 when building codes began requiring reinforcing, bracing, and bolting for new construction. You may not be eligible for insurance to help pay for earthquake-related damages without a retrofit.

Generally, the retrofitting process can take two to four weeks. Your contractor will let you know if staying in your home for the entire project is feasible. However, most people are able to remain at home. If your home is undergoing earthquake rehab, it's more likely that you'll need to leave until work is complete. Your earthquake insurance may cover boarding costs if your home is deemed unsafe.

Earthquake gas shut-off valves, or seismic gas shut-off valves, are safety devices that attach to your natural gas line. When an earthquake hits, the valve automatically turns off the flow of gas. Earthquake gas shut-off valves can prevent gas leaks, which are especially dangerous after a quake due to the risk of fire and explosion.

Almost all new buildings in California need an earthquake shut-off valve. The requirements for an earthquake gas shut-off valve (and who can install it) depend on where you live. For example, according to the Los Angeles Municipal Code, you’re required to hire a licensed contractor to install one whenever you build, sell, or renovate a home. Check with your local building department for your city’s laws on installing, permitting, and inspecting earthquake shut-off valves.

A home with proper earthquake retrofitting can sustain minimal damage in earthquakes of up to 7.0 magnitude, although risks are higher based on how close and deep the earthquake is. A home closer to the earthquake epicenter will sustain greater damage, especially if the earthquake is closer to the surface of the Earth, but retrofitting can help minimize the risk of injuries.
