Earthquake Retrofitting in Whittier, CA
Earthquake Retrofit LA provides foundation bolting, cripple wall bracing, and chimney bracing for Whittier homes — with a free evaluation first and a straight answer about whether your house needs work at all.
Why Whittier Homes Get Retrofitted
Whittier's housing stock runs older than most of the region — Uptown and the historic neighborhoods carry homes from the 1910s through the 1940s, many on raised foundations with original unbolted sills and brick chimneys.
Whittier felt its own lesson directly: the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake damaged hundreds of older buildings here, and many of the homes that cracked then still haven't been retrofitted since.
The family connection
Earthquake Retrofit LA is owned by Mickey — the second-generation tradesman behind One Hour Plumbing Service, trusted by Southeast LA homeowners since 1953. Different trade, same rule: straight answers, honest bids, work done right the first time.
