<p>Living in Southern California means accepting the reality of earthquakes.

Alpha Structural, Inc. is a leading provider of earthquake retrofitting and soft story reinforcement, bringing older buildings up to current seismic codes without altering their character.</p><p>Our retrofitting solutions include cripple wall bracing, foundation bolting, and the installation of steel moment frames or shear walls.

We also retrofit non-ductile concrete buildings and unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. Retrofitting not only saves lives but can lower your insurance premiums and increase property value. Our team handles permits, engineering, and construction from start to finish.

“I was looking to get an estimate on a basement build out on my residential home. Damien showed up and gave us all of the information and estimated a cost to construct, which was the more then the cost of our home to add a basement. It was a revelation and it is cheaper to build up. Thanks for your full transparency and honesty. It too expensive to build a basement in Los Angeles unless you have unlimited resources!”

“Alpha Structural is absolutely outstanding! Their prices are fair, their service is top-notch, and working with Albert made all the difference. He was incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable, taking the time to explain every option clearly. His expertise in structural engineering gave us the confidence to make the right decision about a challenging situation, a wall with exposed rebar beneath a leaking pool. Thanks to Albert’s guidance, what felt overwhelming became manageable. If you’re looking for a company that combines honesty, skill, and true professionalism, Alpha Structural is the one to call!”

“Alpha Structural built a new retaining wall at our property. Working with them was extremely easy. They communicated what was going on throughout the whole process. They answered any questions we had promptly.
The on site team included Bartolo, Edy, and Jose. They did great work. Each day when they were done they thoroughly cleaned up. If I have any other work to do with Alpha Structural I'd ask them for the same on site team.”
— Reza Nikoopour
“I have a number of projects with Alpha Structural and couldn't recommend them more. Their work is flawless and their prices are fair. We've completed an earthquake retrofit - it was a seamless and efficient process. Ernesto handled the actual day to day construction work and I really appreciated his communication to me and any to our residents.
I'm currently in the middle of a hillside foundation and retaining wall project. They are super buttoned up, professional, and truly the only expects in the city I trust. Daniel + Albert have been such a great team to work with.
I've learned the hard way that finding contractors you trust is key and I have absolute faith in them.”
— Sharon Hsu
“Alpha Structural did an outstanding job expanding my garage, installing a pile-supported foundation, and reinforcing the structural framing. From start to finish, the team—Erinn, Elmer, and Erick—was professional, communicative, and flexible when we needed to adjust the plan. They completed the project in record time without compromising quality. If you're looking for structural work done right, Alpha Structural is the way to go! Highly recommended.”
— Pawel Pietryka
“I had a fantastic experience with Chris Olson from Alpha Structure. He was professional and knowledgeable. He thoroughly assessed my foundation issues and explained the repair process in detail. He was efficient and put my mind at ease regarding the issues. Overall my experience has been as positive one. If you're looking for reliable foundation repair Alpha Structure is highly recommended!”
