TESTIMONIALS
Earthquake Retrofit — Reviews
“When I bought my 1940s craftsman, I had no idea it wasn’t bolted to the foundation. When I learned that, I panicked — until I found Foundation Bros. Ben came out personally to inspect and walked me through the retrofit process step by step. The crew showed up on time, covered all my floors, and left everything spotless. They even helped me understand how it would help with earthquake insurance discounts. I honestly sleep better knowing my home is anchored and ready for whatever comes.”
Linda P.Los Angeles, CA
“I’m a general contractor myself, so I’m picky about who I hire. I was impressed by how organized Tom was. He provided a clean scope of work, photos before and after, and city permit coordination. The retrofit work was textbook — bolts, plywood shear panels, and framing all perfectly installed. You can tell they take pride in doing things by the book. Solid company.”
Carlos M.Culver City
“Eden and his team made the process completely painless. I work from home and was worried about the noise, but they managed it so well. They explained everything they were doing, from bolting to the cripple wall bracing. My inspector said, ‘Whoever did this really knew what they were doing.’ That says it all.”
Erika T.Pasadena
“I’ve lived in California my whole life and always meant to retrofit my house but never got around to it. Foundation Bros gave me a fair quote and zero pressure. Michael and his guys finished the whole job in under three days and left everything cleaner than before. They even helped me reattach the crawl space door properly. It’s rare to find contractors this professional.”
George A.Santa Monica
“I was skeptical about retrofit work because you don’t ‘see’ the results, but once Ben explained what could happen in an earthquake without it, I was convinced. Watching them drill anchor bolts into the sill plates and reinforce the crawl space beams gave me peace of mind. Their attention to detail was next level. Totally worth the investment.”
