Bolt Down The Bay Area are experts at Earthquake Retrofits (and the CA Earthquake Bolt + Brace (EBB) process, if applicable), are very responsive and reasonably priced. They handle most EBB uploads (if EBB is relevant to you) and provide clear instructions for the few homeowner steps required.
Our City Building Inspector crawled under the house to check every area, saying, “I want to make sure you got what you paid for.” He came out looking impressed and saying, “They did a great job!” They book out pretty far, but have the EBB process streamlined to meet deadlines (if relevant).
I would definitely recommend them if you are looking to do an Earthquake Retrofit.

Used their services to retrofit our foundation/house for the EBB grant. We were very pleased with their professionalism and direct communication in guiding us through everything. Thanks Jacque, John, Kevin, Daniela, Jesus, Victor and everyone else who helped make it all go smoothly!
Smooth sailing with this project thanks to Bolt Down Bay Area! They handled the project and to end as well as the paper work to get a grant from the county to offset some of the costs. Everyone we worked with was helpful throughout the process.
