Evergreen Seismic, LLC is the Puget Sound's most trustworthy residential earthquake retrofit contractor. Our mission is to provide the highest quality of service, along with the most affordable prices. We take great pride in our work, and customer safety and satisfaction is our number one goal. Our clients demand and deserve excellence and we are committed to meet these expectations each and every time. We offer the experience of hundreds of retrofit installations, along with the highest quality products, valuable design and engineering, and stellar results.

"Matt and the Evergreen Seismic team were communicative, honest, and collaborative throughout our retrofit. When I reached out initially, he helped me learn about the retrofit process, and even encouraged me to consider doing it myself. I really appreciated that — it'd be so easy for a professional in his position to scare a client into getting the work done, but he did the opposite. He also gave us a competitive quote, and offered to match any other we got elsewhere. I ultimately decided to hire him, and was glad I did. He and his team got the work done in a timely and orderly fashion. Our foundation turned out to be a little unusual, which took more time than anticipated, but he walked us through what they were doing to accommodate the difference, and did not ask for an additional fee for the extra time spent. They handled all the city permitting and mailed us the paperwork to keep on file."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Some cities or states may require you to have an earthquake gas shut-off valve. Your insurance provider may also have requirements for installing this valve. Even if you don’t have to have one by law, it’s wise to have a natural gas plumber install one anyway. These devices can be lifesaving and prevent fires or explosions in the event of a gas leak.

Projects will vary based on size and scope, but an average earthquake retrofit takes between two weeks and two months. This includes the initial evaluation and plan, bidding and contract paperwork, permitting and approval process, actual work, and final inspection. Your contractor should give you a more accurate time estimate for your specific project, and they may be able to estimate how long the permitting process will take for your area.

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.

First, you can expect the project to be loud. If you have pets, you might want to take them to a friend's house during the day so they are not disturbed by any of the loud noises. In addition, you’ll need to provide the retrofit team access to areas of the house that will need to be worked on, meaning you’ll need to relocate personal items, clear clutter, and make pathways for the crew. Once the project is complete, a local building inspector will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the retrofitting is up to code.

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.
