    Stud Seismic Safety bashed into place

    Seismic Safety added several studs to an area in my basement in 2019. One of Seismic Safety's officers, Ken, was in charge of the job. The Seismic Safety crew mis-measured the studs then bashed them into place (see example in photo). I now have doors that need to be repaired, re-hung and repainted; custom cabinetry that needs to be repaired and repainted; walls that need to be patched and repainted; hardwood floors that need to be repaired, re-stained and refinished; and finish carpentry that needs to be repaired and repainted as a result of Seismic Safety's awful work. I am now spending thousands of my own dollars to repair this damage. I strongly recommend AGAINST using Seismic Safety.

    They wanted $700 to just come out to inspect and give an estimate. Other companies I called were free!

    Mark and Matt have visited my home for inspection twice now over the last few years. The…read moreprofessionalism and pride of ownership was clear from the moment they arrived, fashionably early I may add (being on time, an understandable challenge amongst LA contractors). We live in a 70 yr house on a hillside with amazing mountain views; but often besieged by the paranoia of being on a hill. Mark allayed fears both times, answered questions to explain the subtle phenomenon that concerned me every so often, & confirmed everything was normal. Inspections were thorough & no unnecessary work suggested. Often, homeowners aren't knowledgeable about civil and construction work. Speaking to these gentlemen is like speaking to professors who'll tell you clearly if you don't need work; and what you may need 15 years from now. We ended up being advised that nothing was needed to be done. The most remarkable example of integrity.

We first had a mold abatement company come and they revealed that the fungus had grown into the framing and had completely rotted out large areas on the side of our house. They told us that the job was too big and recommended Foundation Repair LA. When Matt from Foundation Repair LA came over to give us an estimate, my wife and I were immediately impressed by his thorough knowledge of this particular fungus and his ability to patiently explain the problem to us. The proposal he created was quite extensive and costly, but he explained that in order to prevent this fungus from coming back, they needed to completely remove it at the source and all of the contaminated soil. We got a couple of quotes that were less costly and chose another contractor to do the abatement, but we learned our lesson the hard way when after a month or so the fungus started growing back in the soil and the house framing. That's when we called Matt back and told him that we were hoping he would give it a chance. He immediately came over and looked at the work that had been done, giving us a less expensive quote to complete the job properly. Matt was very thorough and his team was professional. They kept in constant communication to update us on what they were finding and their progress. It's now been over six months since they completed the work and the fungus is gone. This was a scary experience and I am so grateful to Foundation Repair LA for saving our house!

We were on a time constraint which was appreciated. I was sent an inspector by the name of Golan who was knowledgeable , thorough and professional. He came and did the inspection and did a great job of explaining the result of the inspection to me where I could understand it. I would definitely recommend Sunshine Foundation but I would especially recommend Golan to anybody due to his knowledge and efficiency. I was very happy with the inspection and would recommend them to anyone.

Adam visited my property and spent almost an hour mapping out the entire floorplan and created a detailed plan of attack - all free of charge!!! He carefully measured whether the floor was uneven using a laser, took numerous photos of the areas of concern in the crawl space (wearing a full hazmat suit, goggles, and a high-end face mask), and patiently answered all of my questions. I had another vendor visit the property, and he only spent 3 minutes poking his head around - he did not even enter the crawl space! Therefore, it was an easy choice to go with Sunshine. I felt comfortable enough with Adam to ask him to visit my parents' home for a possible retrofit. Unfortunately, this structure does not have a crawl space / cripple walls and thus is not able to be retrofitted. I feel very comfortable in recommending Adam for other projects, and I look forward to engaging with Sunshine again soon. Thank you, Adam!!

We've interviewed a few home builders, checked out their work and reputation, and eventually decided to go with Gil, Oren, and the whole team of Go Home Builders. Working with the insurance was a pain, luckily Gil had experience working with Allstate insurance before, and he helped us a lot getting the money we needed to rebuild our home. The planning process took a bit longer than what we initially planned for. The county of LA took their sweet time approving our plans. Fortunately, after 2 sets of revisions we were fully approved. The construction wasn't bad at all, they had plenty of guys working on our home at the same time. The only time there was no work, was on inspection days. The finishes was one thing that was extremely important for us. My wife and I are detail oriented and wanted to make sure we're choosing the right company to do the finish work correctly. All I can say is that they exceeded my expectations. Overall the beginning of the process was extremely emotional challenging, but the whole team of Go Home Builders made us feel like we're not alone. My wife and I are very grateful for them. I'd highly recommend.

We interviewed multiple…read morecompanies and went with GHB since they seemed the most design-forward and client-friendly of the bunch, and gave us a reasonable quote too. I had a rough vision in mind for fitting a lot into a relatively small space, but wanted to see the options rendered so I could better make the big layout and design decisions. Alexis was very patient and super helpful in mocking up each iteration until we locked in the final design. Once it was time to actually break ground, Gil, Oren, Uriel, and the rest of the team were really responsive and always available by text. Unlike previous contractors we've worked with, they usually gave us an idea of what was happening the next day/week and who to expect onsite. The first ~70% of the project went really smoothly and far exceeded my expectations. Demo, framing, rough plumbing, and electrical all largely went without a hitch. We ran into some problems towards the end around communication, timeline, and subcontractor oversight -- which led to more delays when someone punctured our new in-wall toilet tank and flooded both the bathroom and bedroom. We know every construction job runs into challenges so we weren't bent out of shape by it, and we did appreciate that GHB took full responsibility for fixing the issues. By and large we were really impressed by most of their subcontractors, especially the very professional and considerate plumbing, electrical, and tiling teams! After living with our new bathroom for a while now, we can definitely say it was worth the wait, and such a huge improvement over our previous dysfunctional layout. Thanks to GHB for their great service, amazing attitude, attention to detail, and for bringing the bright, colorful bathroom of my dreams to life!
