With over 25 years of experience and 700+ completed projects, CalRetrofit offers value engineering, design minimization, and “white-glove” customer care for your project.
The purpose of this program is to reduce the risk of injury or loss of life that may result from the effects of earthquakes on wood-frame soft-story buildings. In the Northridge Earthquake, many wood frame soft-story buildings caused loss of life, injury, and property damage. This program creates a guide for property owners to strengthen their buildings, so as to improve performance during an earthquake.
Cal Retrofit is General Engineering Contractor, certified by the California Earthquake Association, providing building owners and property managers, with cost-effective solutions to comply with the Mandatory Soft-Story Retrofit Program as outlined in City Ordinances 183893, and experts in waterproofing, SB-721 & SB-326 balcony and deck inspections, and repairs.
