Golden Retrofit & Foundation Repair Construction
We have industry leading experts in foundation repair, foundation replacement, helical piers and leveling. We specialize in residential earthquake / seismic retrofitting.
Our hope is that we never have to endure the next “big one”. As time goes by and more research is available, listening to mainstream media often feels like impending doom is around the corner. Geologists differ in opinion on when and how powerful the next earthquake will be. They all agree that one is inevitable living in Southern California. We are here to give you and your family the peace of mind that if one does come, you will be prepared. Seismic retrofit is the step we should all consider. Studies show that modifying/reinforcing an existing structure will help withstand the powerful forces generated by an earthquake. Using specially designed steel brackets and anchors will tie your home/apartment to its concrete foundation properly. The proper installation of hardware at the correct locations under your home will allow the structure to have a much better chance of making it through an earthquake with minimal damage

I have a 90 year old house, like all houses that old the foundation has settled in several areas. Received a bid from another company which was outrageously expensive. My contractor recommended Golden Retrofit (GR). Tom from GR came out and explained what they could do to level my house in great detail. Tom took calls and re-explained the same details to my husband and a friend. Their bid was less than half of what the other company proposed. I was little hesitant because of the different in prices between the two bids. Tom reassured me that they will not cut corners and everything would be done to code. I went with GR and they did indeed did a great job. They went above and beyond what they said they would do. The only complaint was that it took longer than the two weeks they suggested. The extra time required was needed to solve a problem caused at the time of the original construction of the house. I'm very happy with them and definitely will recommend them to my neighbors and friends. I highly recommend GR and Tom to anyone that lives in an older home that has a foundation that has settled.

I have a home in Whittier I purchased not too long ago. I was aware it needed foundation repair but I kept putting it off. When I got the first quote the sticker shock was real. Like buy a new Mercedes Benz real. I actually got a recommendation from my real estate agent to call Golden Retrofit. Their estimate included about 1/4 of the work of the other company proposed and the salesman Ross I think let me know the other stuff like a seismic retrofit was just optional. I did the work with Golden and my bank account was much happier I did.

I noticed some cracks along the foundation of my parents property and had no idea what to do so I naturally turned to this website. Golden retrofit is ranked top for a reason! We have a slab foundation and most companies don’t even deal with that. Sam was punctual, intelligent, and easy to reach making the whole situation a whole lot better. Highly recommend these guys.

Could not have made a better decision choosing this company. This was an absolutely fantastic company to work with! When we purchased our new home I knew we had to do some foundation repair. I was very stressed out and thought that it was going to cost me a ridiculous amount of money. This company is extremely affordable and they did an amazing job on my home Foundation. It was quality work done in a timely manner

My mom decided to get a condo and leave her house for me and my boyfriend to live in. We saw that we needed a foundation repair, but weren’t exactly sure if we needed it or not. We got referred to use Golden Retrofit through our family friends and decided to give them a call. Ross came in for an estimate and told us we didn’t need a foundation repair. This is why i know i will continue to use them in the future, because of his honesty. He could of easily taken a job because me and my boyfriend aren’t so educated on these types of things, but he chose honesty and loyalty over money. Thank you again Ross for being so sweet and honest!

These guys were fantastic to work with. Professional yet friendly. Answered any and all my questions and never got annoyed with me (I had a lot of questions lol). I would definitely use Golden again and have would recommend them to anyone. In fact I already have and they are retrofitting our friends house down the street. Thanks for your help, service, and care. Keep up the good work.

My family and I moved into our house 5 years ago and we recently started to get worried about the possibility of a large earthquake so I did some research to find possible options to have people come give us a quote for earthquake retrofitting and I couldn't be happier that I found with Golden Retrofit. After meeting with 3 or 4 other companies after my meeting with Joey I immediately knew he was the guy for the job. He quoted us great and his expertise really put us at ease. After going through with the earthquake retrofitting there's nobody else I would recommend

My family and I were always very paranoid about earthquakes striking and damaging our house. We live in a relatively older house so we always had concerns about the structures. We asked around and were recommended to contact an earthquake retrofitting contractor. We called a bunch of companies and none seemed to be helpful or cared very much. We finally got to Golden Retrofit, and wow. Genuine care for us and our concerns. We live in West LA and they were more than happy to come out and help us review our options. Mr. Joey Baruch helped us and he was extremely patient, not pushy, and most importantly, friendly. He was more concerned with our safety than making a quick buck. He suggested we do a foundation repair, and floor jacking. He went over all benefits and made us feel a lot better. In short - he gave us peace of mind and comfort. Thank you Joey and Golden Retrofit!

Moved in with my boyfriend recently. We both didn't know how much responsibility and risks a house could have! Thank god I came across Golden retrofit. They were able to work with us on price and timing for an earthquake retrofit. I couldn't be happier and feel so much safer in my own home. It feels great to know people can truly put you at ease. Thank you to Ross for coming out and giving us a reasonable quote. You truly were so nice.

Made the decision to work with Golden Retrofit for a number of reasons, mainly because I heard a lot of great things as far as house bolting in Los Angeles. Originally I was keeping my options open with companies, however their rates were the most competitive. Once receiving an estimate I went thru with the foundation bolting. Out of all the ways to protect your home or building from earthquakes I was recommended that this was the most affordable and fastest technique. Thankfully no earthquake yet but if there was going to be one it's better to be safe than sorry. I'm glad i made this life changing decision. The procedure I took for my home is preferred the most, so I trusted their decision based on my wants and needs. I'm really happy I made my decision to go with them.

By Leo R.April 14, 2018Foundation Replacement$38,000
I am the type to do extensive research when it comes to big purchases. We noticed that the floor wasn't level in a part of the house I called a contractor friend of mine. He let me know it was a foundation issue and referred me to Golden Retrofit. Im glad he did. Ross answered all of my questions, and there were a lot. He walked me through the process and made me feel at ease. There were some other issues going on as well other that the level issue. We ended up having to replace the foundation. I brought out another contractor just to compare and Ross came out cheaper. I highly recommend them, you wont be disappointed.

By a user in Los AngelesApril 14, 2018Seismic Retrofitting
When I bought my house, I was told that I had to redo the foundation. I immediately looked on yelp for someone to fix my home's foundation and I found Golden Retrofit. I spoke to Joey and he came and check out the place. He said I need to do some seismic retrofitting. I had no idea what that meant but he explained to me that I needed to make my house more resistant to seismic activity from earthquakes. He gave me a nice quote and I gave him the job and he started doing activities such as floor jacking, house bolting and foundation repair. At the end of the day, my house was up to date and livable in. Thank you Joey for all your hard work and help!

Parents needed a recommendation from somewhere that had earthquake retrofitting. Decided to go on yelp and came across Golden Retrofit. Spoke to Ross on the phone and new right away that my parents should go with this company. Time efficient, good customer service, friendly & good/better prices than most people I have called. Thanks again!!!

We just bought a new house that I was told needed an earthquake Retrofit. I didn't really understand what it was but after some research I realized it was important. After several estimates a friend of mine recommended Golden Retrofit and I'm so happy he did. The estimate was way more reasonable than the other companies and the job took exactly 5 Days! The crew was really nice and professional and they did a great job. Would def recommend them for any foundation related work in the future!

Look no more, this earthquake retrofitting company is the one to choose. They are the best earthquake retrofitting specialists in Los Angeles. I had the pleasure of hiring them last year to fix damages we acquired to the foundation of our home and so far the results have been great. Thankfully no big earthquake has hit Los Angeles however we have had little jolts here and there that scare the heck out of my family and I. I'm so happy I reached out when I did because when all these little ones hit my family and I feel better with the decision we made. Joey at Golden Retrofitting was an absolute pleasure to do business with. He explained what the best route to take with the floor plan of our house, and his prices were way more affordable than I thought. They offer so many services that will give anyone a piece of mind, such as seismic retrofitting. He and the crew were professional. Highly recommend reaching out because it's better safe than sorry!

I started with a list of over 50 potential companies and knew none of them. I brought my list down to 6 based on experience, license number and reviews. I intended to have 4 of those give me a bid but after Golden Retrofit (bid#2) I knew I was done. Selina knew so much more about the EBB process then the other 5 companies I spoke with. Andy gave me such a good Inspection and knowledge of my crawl space that I knew he crawled through every inch of my space. I've been under my house dozens and dozens of times. Kristina kept me informed of every step and handled my Deposit as well as Final Payment. Jordan was with me prior to the City Inspection and provided quickly each view the City Inspector needed to see. The Inspection Process was so Professional I knew they had done this before. I can't say enough about my experience with Golden Retrofit. In my humble opinion they Are The Best!
