Foundation bolting during seismic retrofit

Earthquake Safety specializes in Residential Seismic Strengthening. Since 1984 we have strengthened over 6,012 homes, working primarily in the three Bay Area Counties of Alameda, Contra Costa and Marin. Our commitment to high quality service is reflected in the countless letters of praise we have received and through our reputation as the Bay Area's leading seismic strengthening contractor.

Our mission statement is simple: To provide homeowners with the highest quality seismic retrofits at an affordable cost; with an emphasis on making the process as professional, friendly and efficient as possible.

Following a quiet period in earthquake movements, lasting several decades, it became apparent in the late 1970s and early 1980s that Northern California is still earthquake country. Reports by both seismologists and engineers appeared during these years, recommending retrofitted improvement of existing homes in order to improve safety and prevent financial loss.

Recognizing the need for a service that could do this work for homeowners, Earthquake Safety was founded in 1984, and became a California corporation in 1987.

Licensed in California as a General Contractor, Earthquake Safety, Inc. provides complete seismic strengthening services to homeowners, including both planning and installation of the recommended improvements.
