Fine Design Build is a third generation, design-build company. We shepherd our clients, working side by side, with architects and engineers that we have long-standing relationships with, pushing design past traditional scope limitations. We navigate through the challenging permitting, involving shorelines development, ECA steep slope areas, wetlands. Permitting can be a huge challenge particularly on waterfront parcels. We are experts at removing obstacles and creatively designing homes with minimal to zero impact to environment. After designing your home, we shepherd you through the challenging environment of building. We are very selective about our team and in our rare circumstance as a company, the general contractor, is onsite performing a good percentage of excavation, storm water management, septic, concrete, framing and finishes. We have a unique approach with full transparency where money is spent. The customer has their foot on the gas petal/brake throughout the entire build.

"Best contractor ever. At Fine Design Build the service received was like none other, quality, craftsmanship, in both work and design. We will be forever pleased with house build that we received."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Costs vary as much as timelines. The average earthquake retrofit costs between $3,500 and $8,700. However, homes on hillsides, large homes, and those with rooms over garages can cost up to $12,000 or more. Make sure to get a few estimates to compare the cost and services.

Depending on where you live, your insurance company may require you to have a seismic shut-off valve. It depends on local regulations along with the specific provider. If it’s not a requirement, many providers will offer a discount if you install an earthquake valve, which can save you 5% or more. Contact your provider to learn about potential savings for your plan.

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.

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.

Grounding is a great first step to prevent electrical shock, but you can take it further with GFCI outlets and AFCIs (arc fault circuit interrupters). In particular, AFCIs help protect against the type of electrical arcs that cause fires, like if a mouse chews on a wire or your laptop starts overheating at the wall. These are required in some areas of your home.
