A proper seismic retrofit helps your home ride out shaking and protects what matters most. Our Phoenix crew evaluates your structure and installs right-sized upgrades—no scare tactics, just proven solutions that align with code and best practice.
Renovate. Renew. Restore.
Stronger connections: Tie the house frame to the foundation to help prevent shifting.
Lower repair risk: Braced walls and anchored sill plates resist lateral forces that crack finishes and frames.
Confidence & documentation: Clear scope, permits, and photos for maintenance and resale.
We review crawlspace/garage, framing, and foundation to identify weaknesses and define scope.
Add or upgrade anchor bolts/plates to secure the mudsill to the concrete foundation.
Install shear sheathing with correct nailing, blocking, and edge distances to add lateral strength.
Improve load path with straps, clips, angle brackets, and tension ties at corners and openings.
Narrow-panel shear or steel solutions where large openings create weak lines.
Reduce topple hazards and service-line damage.
We handle drawings, submittals, and inspections so your retrofit is documented and compliant.

No retrofit can guarantee zero damage, but proper bolting, bracing, and hold-downs are designed to reduce risk and improve performance.
Some scopes do; others follow prescriptive standards. We’ll advise based on your home and local requirements.
Usually not. Most work happens in the crawlspace or garage. We’ll let you know if short-term access adjustments are needed.
Most projects finish in 1–3 days once permits and materials are ready. Larger or more complex homes may take longer.
