At ABC Construction, we help homeowners and real estate professionals in Los Angeles and Greater LA make properties safer and more earthquake-resilient. Our expert team specializes in seismic retrofits and foundation bolting through the Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program, helping you protect your investment — and qualify for FEMA-funded grants.
The Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program was developed by the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) to help homeowners afford a seismic retrofit. A residential seismic retrofit strengthens an existing older house, making it more resistant to earthquake activity, such as ground shaking and soil failure. The seismic retrofit involves bolting the house to its foundation and adding bracing around the perimeter of the crawl space.
Through EBB, homeowners may be eligible for an incentive payment of up to $3,000 to help pay costs associated with the retrofit of their houses, if the house’s characteristics are suitable for this type of retrofit in accordance with California Existing Building Code Chapter A3. Most homeowners decide to hire a contractor to do the retrofit work, instead of doing it themselves. A typical retrofit usually costs between $3,000 and $7,000, depending on the location, size of the house, contractor fees, and the amount of materials and work involved.
