"Very good experience with Joseph from MVP the Foundation !! I was so worried about the earthquakes, and I was looking for a professional to take a look at my Foundation. Joseph was on time for our meeting, and explained to me in detail what my Foundation needs. They kept the job site clean and completed all duties above and beyond. Very great local and loyal company to have!! Keep up the good work and thank you!!!"

"Ken was awesome. He showed up on time, was knowledgeable and honest. It's our foundation, and our interior has cracks from the settling of all the rain, Ken could have told us anything and we would have probably believed him. But he was so honest, and we really appreciated that. He told us that there is some rotting wood in the frame that needs to be replaced asap, to stop the settling, that would cost about $800 including parts and labor. He then said that our foundation looks good, but could probably do with some seismic retrofitting at some point, but not urgent or necessary at this time. We had Foundation Works do the work. The team that did the work was prompt, courteous, cleaned up after themselves and showed us in detail the work that was done. We would definitely hire them again and have referred them to our neighbors."

"Excellent experience again with Alpha Structural. Charlie Rosenkranz came to see the 3-story apartment building in West Hollywood. We discussed what the soft story retrofit plans will likely include. He's knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his professional no-pressure approach and answering our questions. Alpha performed an exploratory investigation of the support structure, as architectural plans were not available. They engineered the plans with city approval. They then consulted with us and provided the approved THP (Tenant Habitability Plan) paperwork. Production Manager Dave Schlaich and Job Supervisor Seth Price met me before construction. Dave went over the approved plans and explained the work that would be performed, and the purpose. They both answered all my questions. Lawrence and Antonio were the main work team. They were very pleasant and answered all our questions. Both had great explanations with Lawrence being very detailed. Seth provided timely progress reports by phone and text. He answered all questions, and provided contacts for automatic shut-off gas valves and stucco work. Despite Covid-19, they scheduled and passed inspections, and completed the work in under a month. We've seen projects by other companies stuck in limbo for months with no progress, so we chose Alpha to avoid complications. They removed all debris, and left the property clean. The tenants and neighbors had no complaints. Daniel Aparicio also explained various issues. Communication with everyone, including the office staff, was excellent. We're very pleased with this experience."

"We had a truly outstanding experience with MVP Remodeling. I reached out to them on 7/7/25 through the California Earthquake Authority’s Earthquake Brace and Bolt (EBB) program to request a quote for a seismic retrofit. They got back to me the same day and scheduled a walkthrough for the next day, 7/8. That’s when we met Yosef, the business owner — and from the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, professional, and sincere. He’s the kind of person you could talk to all day — genuine, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his work. He provided a detailed evaluation, explained everything clearly, and we signed the quote that same day because we felt completely confident in him and his team. Throughout the process, Maya handled all the communication related to paperwork, scheduling, and documentation — and she was fantastic. She was extremely nice, always thorough, and made what could’ve been a complicated process feel absolutely effortless. Her organization and clarity helped"

"I would highly recommend American Home Improvement to anyone looking for a bathroom remodel. David was our project manager and he was always on top of everything that needed to be done. He was always friendly and easy to get in contact with, even if it was just to answer a quick question about the project. The whole team at American Home Improvement really made us feel like they were invested in our project and wanted us to be happy with the end result. I especially appreciated how responsive everyone was throughout the process!"

FAQs for earthquake protection service projects in Los Angeles, CA

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.
