A Soft Story Retrofit is the process of reinforcing buildings which have a ground floor or lower level floor vulnerable to earthquake damage. In most soft-story buildings, the area of the tucked under parking spaces don't have the necessary supporting structure (steel frames, load-bearing walls) to keep them from swaying during a quake.
Earthquake retrofitting can effectively save your property or building from extensive damage during an earthquake. Most of these are very minor, but every few years a magnitude 6 earthquake occurs, which can be very damaging to structures that are not fit to reduce earthquake damage. If you are a property owner, it is critical that your building is adequately retrofitted to withstand seismic activity.
One of the biggest dangers of living in a seismically active zone is that earthquake tremors can cause damage to building structures and even potentially endanger life. Homes that are structurally retrofitted or upgraded can withstand the force generated by seismic waves much better than homes or buildings that have not been structurally retrofitted.

LA Structural fixed and essentially rebuilt our foundation last year. We had a wonderful experience with them. They weren't the cheapest around but after talking with the owner we decided to go with them as we felt they were honest and would do great work. We were not let down. During the three week job their workers were nothing but kind and respectful. Everything we asked for they accommodated and the job was done fast and without a hitch. We highly recommend them.

Overall excellent.
Jim was very thorough, he came back after the initial assessment because he wanted to double-make sure we were going to perform the correct and neccessary repairs.
These guys are also super on time, never showed up late or they let me know way in advance.
It was easy to get a hold of them with some special requests I had on my side.
Angel and his team were awesome too, good communicators and they didn't leave a mess at the construction site.

I called LA Structural with a time-sensitive situation regarding my home and luckily Dale was available and took the time to understand what I needed and refer me to the right person. Most people will not take the time to consult. He was so helpful. He even reached out to that contact ahead of time so he knew that I would be calling and also know that it was urgent. Because of him, I was able to get the referral I needed to take care of the structural issue at hand. Thank you so much Dale!

Jim came out regarding some areas we were concerned about. he was wonderful and knowledgeable. Really took the time to listen and evaluate. We were thrilled that what he have happening is normal settling and so grateful for his honesty and candor. Though I didn't have to hire them for work I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

LA Structural is a company that I wouldn't refer to a shoe. Dale is incredibly rude, indifferent and money hungry. The guy was too lazy to even come out and assess the prospective work. He quoted me double the price in a day. Usually professionals are kind, come to the property (whether they charge or not), and quote/render an estimate. This asinine idiot did the opposite.
Thankfully, I dodged a huge bullet. It's sad when a company can't accept responsibility for their actions. They knew they were wrong and attempted to rectify the issue by sending Paul out the following day

Dale and his crew were sent out for finishing work and to fix the mistakes of another major LA structural company. I wish I had hired them from the jump. The team was thorough and work was amazing. They made sure that the work they did was not only sound but also fit with the rest of the house aesthetically. They made sure that the work area was clean and they protected my very nice plants and brick patio from any damage by being extremely thorough in how they prepped their work space. In sum, their work is amazing but their attention to detail means they leave a project even better than when they

Dale, Matt, Angel and team were the best. The guided me from start to finish so the project moved seamlessly with the Earthquake Brace and Bolt program. There were a few initial hiccups with EBB requiring more detailed information than anticipated, but once ironed out with their help, the team from LA Structural came in and did the job in three days, neatly and professionally.
They exceeded my expectations and I can enthusiastically recommend them to anyone who is looking for a contractor in this program.

Dale and Angel have been amazing! They did a fantastic job rebuilding our clients foundation and did it efficiently and faster than we hoped! Dale was extremely reasonable on pricing and really worked with us to come up with the most cost effective solution for our problem. We highly recommend LA Structural and they will definitely be added to our preferred list of vendors.

This is a company with integrity. Our house was built in the 30's with a raised foundation. There had always been a slight slope at the front of our house. Having lived in it for more than a decade, we finally thought maybe we should have a professional take a look. We called LA Structural for an inspection on our raised foundation. Nick came and took his time to crawl under the basement and did a through inspection. He could have told us there was a problem, and I would be none the wiser. Instead, he explained the layout of our foundation, and that the slope is due to normal settling

LA Structural is very professional and considerate to customers. Jake gives our place a very thorough inspection and provided with very honest and good advices. He let me know how my house foundation looks like and luckily there is not concern at all. I will certainly recommend this to my other friends at LA.

I had an issue with my backyard not draining properly due to the developers of the complex, I have an almost fully concrete backyard with no drain or no slope. Jake met with me at my house and explained a few solutions that he would like to explore. Within a week I spoke with Jake about the proper drainage solution it would take to solve my issue. Knowing that it would be a costly solution Jake did offer me other possible solutions, which included removing the concrete in the backyard, possibly importing new dirt if my existing soil didnt absorb water fast enough, making the backyard lower and
