"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

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.

Even if you invested in the cost of a gas shut-off valve for your oven and other appliances, it’s a good idea to add a seismic shut-off valve as an extra safety measure. 

Gas shut-off valves for appliances are manual, meaning someone has to cut off the flow of gas. This leaves room for error, as you might not be home or might be too distracted to think about gas lines during an earthquake. An earthquake valve is automatic and will protect your home from gas-related disasters in the event of an earthquake.

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.

Hearing or feeling vibrations in your house can be unsettling, but there are a few possible causes for a vibrating noise in your wall or floor. Light bulbs and fixtures, circuit breakers, loose pipes, or faulty wiring could all cause vibrations. If you’re not sure what’s causing the vibrations, you can call a contractor to assess your home and narrow down the cause.
