About PAR Construction

PAR Construction, Inc. was established in 2011 by a group of builders who shared a passion for quality, safety, design, and efficiency. Initially involved in custom and speculative home building and commercial development, we’ve shifted our focus to seismic retrofitting, foundations, and concrete repair, especially in the Los Angeles area.

Over the years, we’ve completed various projects and have prioritized hiring experienced professionals in order to provide exceptional service. We emphasize effective communication, timely project completion, and building lasting client relationships. PAR Construction has strong partnerships with many architectural and engineering firms and aims to make structures safe swiftly and cost-effectively for building owners, investors, property managers, brokers, and engineers.

Why Choose PAR Construction?

Experience you can count on

PAR has been around since 2011 with over 100 years of experience among our leadership team. We’ve become an expert in our areas of focus that include Retrofitting, Concrete Restoration, Balcony Inspections and repair and Waterproofing.

We are professional. This should go without saying, however, hiring a construction team that can partner with your own staff at every level means you can trust that we’ll represent your values when working with the occupants and tenants in buildings we’re repairing.

Our positive reputation

The majority of our work is by way of referral from other customers, engineers, architects, and contractors.

We partner with some of the best engineers and architects in Los Angeles, which gives us the credibility many companies don’t have.

Building with agility

We are a medium-sized company, which gives us greater control of the process and outcome of each project.

We Make The Process Enjoyable

We love what we do! This shows in every interaction with every player throughout a given project. The type of work we do is often intrusive to the occupants, so why not make the process as enjoyable as humanly possible.

"PAR Construction's team did a darn good job. As an on-site manager, I've had my fair share of construction-gone-bad and PAR Construction was a professional and courteous team I would highly recommend."

"I wouldn't say I enjoyed the process, since our building was under construction, but I can't imagine a better company than PAR to do it. Shawn and his team were so considerate of our situation and always gave us a heads up before major work days and they went out of their way to ensure we could park in our spaces whenever possible."

"PAR Construction's team always kept us up to date and posted bulletins for my tenants so they could plan ahead. Thank You!"

"PAR Construction's level of communication throughout the project was fantastic, which made my life easier when dealing with the owner and our tenants."

House Bolting Specialists

From the Seismic Retrofit Experts at PAR Construction

PAR House Bolting is a dedicated division of PAR Construction, one of Los Angeles leading seismic retrofitting contractors. We have spent years strengthening buildings across LA through soft-story retrofits, earthquake retrofitting, and structural upgrades on multi-family and commercial properties. Now, PAR House Bolting brings that same level of expertise directly to homeowners.

If your home was built before 1950, there is a strong chance it is not bolted to its foundation. It is simply sitting on top of it. During an earthquake, an unbolted home can slide off its foundation, causing catastrophic damage and putting your family at risk.

Learn About Our Process

Why Choose PAR House Bolting

Backed by PAR Construction Seismic Retrofit Track Record

Most house bolting companies only do house bolting. PAR is different. We come from the world of large-scale seismic retrofitting: soft-story buildings, non-ductile concrete, multi-family earthquake upgrades, projects that demand engineering precision and strict code compliance. That same discipline and expertise is what we bring to every residential house bolt.

Our team understands Los Angeles building codes inside and out. We have navigated city permitting on complex retrofit projects across LA for years. We know what inspectors look for, what passes, and what does not.

How House Bolting Works

A Straightforward Approach to Protecting Your Home

Step 1: Foundation Inspection ($275 Flat Fee)
When you schedule an inspection, we personally come out to your property, access the crawl space, and carefully inspect the foundation from underneath, documenting conditions with detailed photos. Every deficiency, whether structural concerns, moisture issues, or improper repairs, is clearly identified and explained. You receive a comprehensive same-day report that includes photos, a breakdown of any issues found, along with recommended repair solutions, estimated costs, and realistic timelines.

Step 2: Custom Plan and Permit
Every home is different. We develop a retrofit plan specific to your property and handle all city permitting.

Step 3: Foundation Bolting
We install new anchor bolts or foundation plates to secure your wood framing directly to the concrete foundation.

Step 4: Cripple Wall Bracing
We brace cripple walls with structural-grade plywood shear panels. Properly braced cripple walls are up to 20 times stronger than unbraced walls.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Walkthrough
A city building inspector signs off on the completed work. We walk you through everything.

Does Your Home Need House Bolting?

If any of these apply, your home is a strong candidate for a retrofit

Your home was built before 1950 and has never been retrofitted

No visible anchor bolts in your crawlspace

Short wood-framed cripple walls between foundation and floor

Cracks in foundation, uneven floors, or doors that will not close

Home sits on a raised foundation, not a concrete slab

Buying or selling and need earthquake hazard disclosure

Frequently Asked Questions

What is house bolting?

House bolting is the process of securing your wood framing to its concrete foundation using anchor bolts, steel plates, and structural hardware. Combined with cripple wall bracing, it prevents your home from sliding off its foundation during an earthquake.

How much does house bolting cost?

Most residential house bolting projects in Los Angeles cost between $3,000 and $7,000 depending on the size of the home, crawlspace accessibility, and scope of work. California homeowners may qualify for up to $3,000 through the EBB grant program.

How long does it take?

A typical residential house bolt is completed in 1 to 3 days. Permitting takes an additional 1 to 2 weeks depending on the city. PAR handles all permitting so you do not have to.

Is my home eligible for the EBB grant?

You may qualify if your home is wood-framed, built before 1980, sits on a raised foundation, and is located in an eligible ZIP code. PAR will help you determine eligibility during your $275 foundation inspection.

What is the difference between bolting and bracing?

Bolting secures the wood frame to the concrete foundation to prevent sliding. Bracing reinforces cripple walls with structural plywood to prevent collapse. Most homes need both for full earthquake protection.

Do I need house bolting if my home is on a slab?

Homes on concrete slabs are generally already connected to the foundation. House bolting is primarily for homes on raised foundations with a crawlspace underneath.

Is house bolting required by law in California?

House bolting is not currently mandatory for single-family homes, but California law requires sellers to disclose the absence of foundation bolts and unbraced cripple walls at the time of sale. Many homeowners retrofit proactively to protect their investment and qualify for insurance discounts.

Why choose PAR over other house bolting companies?

PAR Construction specializes in large-scale seismic retrofitting including soft-story buildings, non-ductile concrete, and multi-family earthquake upgrades. We bring that same engineering precision and code compliance to residential house bolting. Most companies only do house bolting. PAR brings a higher level of expertise to every job.

Proof of Bolting for Earthquake Insurance Compliance

Homeowners throughout California are increasingly finding that earthquake insurance carriers require proof that their home has been properly bolted to the foundation in order to qualify for coverage.

These requirements, often referred to as proof of bolting or compliance with current insurance standards, can vary from one provider to another, making it important to know exactly where your home stands.

We provide professional inspections to verify whether your property meets current requirements, along with clear documentation you can submit to your insurance company.

If upgrades are needed, we will outline the necessary steps to bring your home into compliance.

Our House Bolting Process

From inspection to final sign-off, here is exactly what to expect when you work with PAR House Bolting.

Five Steps to a Safer Home

Every PAR house bolting project follows the same proven process. No surprises, no shortcuts, just solid work backed by engineering expertise.

Foundation Inspection ($275 Flat Fee)

Every project starts with a thorough crawlspace inspection. Our team gets under your home to evaluate the current condition and determine exactly what needs to be done.

Check for existing anchor bolts and their condition
Assess the mudsill for rot, damage, or deterioration
Measure cripple wall height and identify bracing needs
Evaluate crawlspace accessibility and clearance
Inspect the foundation for cracks or structural concerns
Document everything with photos for your records

This professional inspection is offered at a flat fee of $275. You will receive a comprehensive same-day report with photos, a breakdown of any issues found, recommended repair solutions, estimated costs, and realistic timelines.

Custom Plan and Permit

No two homes are the same. After the inspection, we develop a retrofit plan specific to your property. The plan covers bolt placement, hardware specifications, and bracing requirements.

Engineering-based retrofit plan tailored to your home
Bolt spacing and placement calculated for your foundation
Hardware selection based on your specific conditions
Full permit application submitted to your city
PAR handles all paperwork and communication with the building department
Typical permit turnaround is 1 to 2 weeks depending on jurisdiction

You do not need to visit city hall or deal with any paperwork. We manage the entire permitting process from start to finish.

Foundation Bolting

With the permit in hand, our crew gets to work securing your home to its foundation. This is the core of the retrofit.

New anchor bolts drilled through the mudsill into the concrete foundation
Steel plate washers installed for maximum holding strength
Bolt spacing follows the engineered plan and local building code
All hardware is galvanized or rated for corrosion resistance
Existing damaged or inadequate bolts are supplemented or replaced
Work is performed in the crawlspace with no disruption to your living areas

Foundation bolting creates a direct mechanical connection between your wood frame and the concrete below. Without this connection, your home can slide right off its foundation during seismic activity.

Cripple Wall Bracing

If your home has cripple walls (the short wood-framed walls between the foundation and the first floor), bracing is essential. Unbraced cripple walls are one of the most common failure points in an earthquake.

Structural-grade plywood shear panels installed on cripple walls
Plywood nailed with code-compliant fastener schedules for maximum shear resistance
Blocking and framing connections reinforced where needed
Properly braced cripple walls are up to 20 times stronger than unbraced walls
Ventilation openings maintained to prevent moisture issues
All bracing follows current California building code standards

Cripple wall bracing works together with foundation bolting to create a complete load path from your home down to the foundation. One without the other leaves your home vulnerable.

Final Inspection and Walkthrough

After the work is complete, a city building inspector visits your property to verify everything meets code. This is a required step and PAR schedules it for you.

City building inspector reviews all bolting and bracing work
Inspector verifies compliance with the approved permit and plans
PAR team is on site during the inspection to address any questions
After passing inspection, you receive official sign-off documentation
PAR walks you through the completed work so you understand what was done
You receive a complete project file including photos, permits, and inspection records

The inspection and documentation are important for your records, your insurance, and for resale value. A permitted and inspected retrofit adds real value to your property.

Project Timeline

From start to finish, most house bolting projects are fast and minimally disruptive.

1 to 3 Days

for most residential homes

The actual bolting and bracing work typically takes 1 to 3 days depending on the size of your home and crawlspace conditions. Permitting adds 1 to 2 weeks before the work begins. All work happens in the crawlspace, so you can stay in your home throughout the entire process. There is no need to move out or rearrange your life.

What Homeowners Say About the Process

Homeowners are consistently surprised by how fast and simple the process is. No demolition, no mess, no disruption to daily life. Just a stronger, safer home.

What to Expect on Work Day

A quick overview so you know exactly what happens

Before we arrive: You do not need to do anything special. Just make sure the crawlspace access point is clear. If access is through a closet or interior space, clear a path so our team can get in and out.

During the work: Our crew works entirely in the crawlspace beneath your home. You will hear drilling and hammering, but there is no disruption to your living space. No walls are opened, no floors are removed, and no furniture needs to move. You can be home or away during the work.

After we finish: We clean up the work area, remove all debris, and leave the crawlspace in better condition than we found it. You will receive a walkthrough of the completed work and all documentation for your records.

Earthquake Brace + Bolt Program

What Is the EBB Program?

A California state program that helps homeowners pay for earthquake retrofitting

The Earthquake Brace + Bolt (EBB) program is a state-funded initiative that provides California homeowners with grants of up to $3,000 to seismically retrofit their homes. The program is designed to reduce earthquake damage to older wood-framed homes by funding foundation bolting and cripple wall bracing.

EBB is administered by the California Residential Mitigation Program (CRMP) and funded through a partnership between the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Since its launch, the program has helped thousands of California homeowners strengthen their homes against earthquake damage.

The grant covers the cost of the retrofit work itself, including labor, materials, and permits. For many homeowners, the $3,000 grant covers a significant portion of the total project cost. We guide you through the entire process, from uploading required documents and obtaining permits to ensuring final inspection and sign-off, making it simple and stress-free.

Grant AmountUp to $3,000

Per eligible household, applied directly to the cost of your seismic retrofit

Who Qualifies for the EBB Program?

Most pre-1980 homes on raised foundations in eligible ZIP codes qualify

Eligibility Requirements

Home must be a wood-framed, single-family residence
Home must have been built before 1980
Home must sit on a raised foundation (not a concrete slab)
Home must be located in an eligible ZIP code
Homeowner must be the current occupant (owner-occupied)
Home must not have been previously retrofitted under the EBB program

What Makes a Home Eligible?

The EBB program targets homes that are most vulnerable to earthquake damage. These are typically older homes that were built before modern seismic building codes were in effect.

Homes on raised foundations with crawlspaces are the primary focus because they are most likely to have inadequate or missing foundation bolts and unbraced cripple walls.

Eligible ZIP codes are determined by the state based on seismic hazard data. Most of Los Angeles County is covered. If you are unsure whether your ZIP code qualifies, PAR will check for you during your $275 foundation inspection.

How to Apply

PAR handles the heavy lifting. Here is the step-by-step process.

Register

Sign up on the official EBB website during the open registration period. PAR can walk you through the registration process.

Select PAR

Choose PAR Construction as your approved EBB contractor. We are registered with the program and meet all contractor requirements.

Get Retrofitted

PAR completes the foundation bolting and cripple wall bracing per EBB program standards. We handle permits and inspections.

Receive Grant

After the work passes inspection, the grant reimbursement is processed. The $3,000 is applied to your project cost.

What the Grant Covers

The EBB grant applies to the core elements of a seismic retrofit

Covered by the Grant

Foundation bolting (anchor bolts securing frame to foundation)
Cripple wall bracing (structural plywood shear panels)
Mudsill repair or replacement when required for the retrofit
Building permits and city inspection fees
All labor and materials for the approved scope of work

Typical Project Cost Breakdown

Most residential house bolting projects in Los Angeles cost between $3,000 and $7,000. The EBB grant of up to $3,000 covers a significant portion of this cost, and in some cases covers the entire project.

Your actual cost depends on the size of your home, crawlspace conditions, and the scope of work required. PAR provides a detailed estimate after your $275 foundation inspection so you know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

There are no hidden fees and no surprises. The estimate you receive is the price you pay, minus the EBB grant amount.

EBB Program FAQ

When is the next EBB registration period?

EBB registration periods open annually, typically in the fall. The exact dates vary by year. PAR can notify you when the next registration window opens. Contact us to be added to our notification list.

Can I use the EBB grant if I have already started the work?

No. The EBB program requires that you register and receive approval before any retrofit work begins. If work has already started or been completed, the home is not eligible for the grant. Contact PAR before doing any work to make sure you qualify.

What if my project costs less than $3,000?

If the total cost of your retrofit is less than $3,000, the grant covers the full amount and you pay nothing out of pocket. The grant amount is capped at the actual cost of the project.

Do I need to pay upfront and get reimbursed?

The reimbursement process varies by program cycle. In many cases, PAR can work with you on payment timing so the grant offset is applied before your final balance is due. We will explain the exact process during your consultation.

What if my ZIP code is not listed as eligible?

Eligible ZIP codes are updated periodically. Even if your ZIP code is not currently listed, it may be added in future program cycles. Contact PAR and we will check the latest eligibility list for your area. If you do not qualify for EBB, we still offer competitive pricing for house bolting.

Check Your EBB Eligibility

Contact PAR to schedule your $275 foundation inspection and we will determine if your home qualifies for the Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant program.

Why Location Matters for House Bolting

Seismic risk, soil conditions, and housing age vary significantly across Los Angeles

Not all neighborhoods face the same level of earthquake risk. Factors like proximity to fault lines, underlying soil composition, and the age of the housing stock all play a role in determining how vulnerable a home is to seismic damage. Understanding these factors helps homeowners make informed decisions about retrofitting.

Fault Line Proximity

Los Angeles is surrounded by active fault systems including the San Andreas, Newport-Inglewood, and Santa Monica faults. Homes closer to these faults experience stronger ground shaking during seismic events, making retrofitting especially critical.

Soil Conditions

Soil type affects how much a home shakes during an earthquake. Areas built on soft sediment or alluvial soil, common in the LA basin and valley floors, amplify seismic waves. Homes in these areas experience more intense shaking than homes built on bedrock.

III

Liquefaction Zones

Parts of Los Angeles are designated liquefaction zones, where saturated soil can behave like liquid during an earthquake. Homes in these zones face additional foundation risks beyond sliding. Proper bolting and bracing provides critical protection.

Neighborhoods with the Most Pre-1950 Homes

Certain neighborhoods in Los Angeles have a high concentration of homes built before 1950. These older homes were constructed before modern seismic building codes required foundation bolting, making them especially vulnerable during earthquakes.

If you live in one of these neighborhoods, there is a strong chance your home is sitting on its foundation without being bolted down. A professional inspection can confirm whether your home needs retrofitting.

Many homeowners in these areas also qualify for the Earthquake Brace + Bolt grant program, which provides up to $3,000 toward the cost of a seismic retrofit.
