This review is long overdue. Jay from heavy wood did our earthquake retrofitting, which even involved pouring more foundation to increase our home’s stability in an earthquake that hit from another angle. His attention to detail was stellar. He was back and forth with the structural engineer pointing out issues with the design, and even proposing superior fixes which were incorporated into the plan and verified. The project went smoothly and I was able to keep my earthquake deductibles low. I just had a contractor doing a home inspection for me point out how solid the retrofitting work was. Definitely a good value and I would highly recommend Jay and his team!

Jay was excellent handling our seismic retrofit. Very experienced, fairly priced, did all the work himself, and made sure to keep us up to date on any changes that would be required. Strongly recommend for anyone who needs work done.

I hired Jay at HeavyWood Construction to do Earthquake Brace and Bolt for my home. My foundation is formulated in an unusual maze of cement foundation throughout the crawl space. Jay found a way to bolt my house to the foundation where other contractors could not. Jay did more for me than just Earthquake Bolt. He identified problems with pipe leakage and worn out and falling down insulation problems that I was not aware of. He scheduled his time to allow for the plumber to do repairs and insulation to be replaced. Jay was a pleasure to work with because he cared about my house, and because of him the damp soil under my house, caused by leaking plumbing is solved. Thank… read full review
