Your One-Stop Solution for Building Services

Soft Story Retrofit Program

We are a trusted Bay Area contractor with extensive experience delivering soft-story seismic retrofit projects throughout San Francisco, as well as similar projects in surrounding cities including Berkeley, Oakland, San Leandro, and Fremont. Our strong familiarity with local building departments and compliance requirements across multiple jurisdictions allows us to efficiently navigate complex approval processes.

Having successfully completed 100+ retrofit projects, our team brings deep expertise in managing every phase of the process — from initial site assessment and structural engineering coordination to plan approval, permitting, and full-scale construction.

With the implementation of the Soft Story Retrofit Ordinance in San Jose, property owners are required to address vulnerable wood-frame buildings with open ground floors or tuck-under parking. Our experienced team provides streamlined, turnkey solutions to help clients achieve full compliance efficiently, cost-effectively, and with minimal disruption to occupants.

We are certified contractors under both the Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) Program and the Earthquake Soft-Story (ESS) Program, enabling eligible property owners to access available seismic retrofit funding.
