"Brad and his crew did a SPECTACULAR job. The most impressive part was the prep. Anyone can paint a wall. These guys sanded everything. They remudded as needed -- some walls needed to be nearly redone to get them to a quality surface for eggshell. Eggshell (slight gloss) shows every imperfection. But when Brad's crew was done, it was like glass. 
The trim work was perfect, including a high gloss repaint of the kitchen island which was previously stained. They knew just what to do to make this paint-over work and it looks fantastic. Finally, they managed to get all 11 colors right -- and this was all done while we were still living over 1000 miles away. I gave Brad a key and he took care of the rest. 
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

"It took them 3 days to get here and they came at 9:30 at night to remove a hot tub, but they worked quickly, sawing the tub in half and loading it onto their trailer to haul away. They were done in just over an hour."

FAQs for earthquake protection service projects in Huntsville, AL

A seismic retrofit helps stop a home from sliding off its foundation during an earthquake. Seismic retrofits also reinforce walls, ceilings, and chimneys to minimize damage. To complete your home’s earthquake retrofit, you can use several methods independently or together, depending on your home’s condition and architecture, such as bolting foundations, bracing foundations with a cripple wall, reinforcing walls and chimneys, and adding an automatic seismic gas shutoff valve.

If your house was built before 1980 in an earthquake-prone area, schedule a retrofit as soon as possible. Building codes didn’t require modern bracing and bolting until the early ’80s, so older structures are more likely to slide off their foundations. Even newer homes benefit from a pro inspection to confirm anchors, shear walls, and gas shut-off valves meet current standards. Spending on a retrofit today can spare you costly repairs after a major quake.

To determine if your house is bolted to its foundation, you should inspect the area underneath your home for visible bolts or metal foundation plates. Observing bolts extending through the sill plate or seeing metal connectors securing the structure confirms a proper retrofit installation. If you are uncertain or the area is difficult to access, hiring a qualified home inspector will ensure a reliable assessment of your home’s anchoring system.

A solid retrofit can help your house withstand earthquakes up to a 7.0 magnitude without sliding or collapsing. By bolting the frame to the foundation and bracing cripple walls, you cut the risk of serious damage and injury. Insurers are aware of this, so many offer lower premiums on properly retrofitted homes. In short, it’s a safety upgrade that also protects your wallet.
