"The doctor doing the eye exam was very good, but everything else was very bad. The quality of the frames is poor, they break easily. The people helping me select the frames didn't know what they are doing, the frames they recommended for me were too wide for my face and too heavy, they could never get them to fit properly, I finally had to buy a different frame. Even after buying the new frames it took over 8 trips to get them adjusted so they fit well, the regular staff was very bad at doing adjustments, so after the first few trips I realized I had to ask for the specialist and then wait until they were available. The scratch guard that they use, which they charge extra for, doesn't work very well. They charged me for the warranty automatically without asking me if I wanted it and then, when the frames broke within a few months, the "warranty" only covered part of the cost and they tried to get me to pay more to replace the broken frame."

Earthquake Retrofitting questions, answered by experts

Ensure proper ventilation, fix leaks, and schedule regular pest inspections to protect your property.

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.

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.

It is not advisable to try to retrofit your home without the expertise of a professional. These projects usually require a consultation with a structural engineer and a plumber for any gas-related adjustments. Working with a professional earthquake retrofitting contractor is the best way to ensure that any structural work done to your home will help protect you and your family.

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.
