Secure your home against earthquakes with professional house bolting. This essential seismic upgrade attaches your home’s wooden frame directly to its concrete foundation using heavy-duty steel bolts and washers. Without bolting, your house can slide or topple off its foundation during strong ground movement—a leading cause of major structural damage.

At JC Retrofit Construction, our house bolting service is tailored for older homes in Los Angeles that were built before modern seismic codes. We start with a thorough inspection to identify cripple walls and connection points. Then, our licensed team installs anchor bolts at precise intervals, often adding plywood shear walls for extra rigidity. The process is minimally invasive and typically completed within a few days. Many homeowners also see reduced earthquake insurance premiums after bolting. We handle all permits and final inspections, so you get a fully compliant, safer home without the headache. Choose us for fast turnaround, transparent pricing, and a crew that treats your home like family.

Restore your home’s balance and prevent further damage with expert house leveling. Over time, foundation settlement—caused by soil changes, poor drainage, or natural shifting—can lead to sloping floors, sticking doors, and cracks in walls. Left unaddressed, these issues worsen, affecting your home’s structural integrity and resale value.

Our team at JC Retrofit Construction uses advanced techniques to lift and stabilize settled foundations. We begin with a detailed assessment using laser levels and jacks to map out uneven areas. Depending on your soil type and foundation condition, we may install push piers, helical piers, or use mudjacking to raise the slab. The result is a level, stable home that feels solid underfoot. We serve homeowners across Los Angeles, from historic properties needing gentle leveling to modern houses with severe settlement. Our process is clean, efficient, and backed by a satisfaction guarantee. Don’t wait until small slopes become big problems—let us bring your home back to true.

When repair isn't enough, trust JC Retrofit Construction for complete foundation replacement. Aging concrete, termite damage, or poor original construction can render a foundation beyond saving. Cracks wider than a quarter-inch, sinking corners, or crumbling stem walls signal it’s time for a fresh start. Our foundation replacement service removes the old, compromised base and installs a new, code-compliant foundation designed to last decades.

We manage every step: obtaining permits, safely supporting your home on temporary beams during demolition, pouring new footings and stem walls, and adding proper drainage and vapor barriers. Our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life. In Los Angeles, where seismic activity is a constant concern, we also integrate anchor bolts and shear transfer details into every new foundation. The result is a home that is safer, more valuable, and ready for the next 50 years. Watch our behind-the-scenes video of a Montecito Heights foundation changeout to see our precision in action.
