The Seismic Retrofit Process

Preparing for an earthquake can be overwhelming and construction on your home may seem daunting. Stronghome takes pride in a process which prioritizes quality work and your peace of mind.

1. Call/Email

Getting started is easy, give me a quick call or send an email today. I'll answer any questions you have right away, and we can set up a time for a free quote or home inspection.

2. Get a customized plan & Quote

At our first appointment, we will take a look at your home to  determine the level of risk and whether a retrofit is right for you. I'll answer any questions you have about the retrofit process and what to expect throughout your project. You'll leave that appointment with a quote that will not change for an entire year. Once you sign on, our structural engineer will create a custom plan to help make your home and family earthquake safe. 

3. Retrofit

I will take care of all the necessary permits and plans for you, then I'll bolt and strap your home to it's foundation. Every home is unique, but on average the work typically takes 3-5 days. Depending on your home and foundation, the project may require access to the interior of your home, the crawl space, or solely the exterior. You'll have advanced notice about what to expect while the work is happening, and we schedule enough in advance for you to plan accordingly. At the end of the week, you'll have a Stronghome.

4. Inspect

We do the best retrofits.

We are the only company in the Seattle area that goes through 3 separate inspections per project:  one internal Stronghome inspection with our director of operations, one with a third party inspector from the city who will ensure your project is up to code, and a final inspection with you, the homeowner, to make sure you feel as confident in the work as we do.  You can rest easy knowing that you got the job done right, and that your home and family are secure.
