Working on homes in Oakland

Oakland has a wide range of housing ages and construction types, and many of its older homes have crawl spaces with original supports that need attention. In the hills, steep lots, retaining walls, and stepped foundations bring their own considerations.

The Hayward Fault runs through the Oakland Hills, so seismic retrofitting is a common question. Hillside drainage and water entering crawl spaces during the rainy season are also frequent reasons for a call.

Common concerns for Oakland homeowners

  • Hillside and stepped foundations

    Sloped lots often have foundations of varying heights that are evaluated individually for support and bracing.

  • Crawl-space moisture

    Water entering under the house can affect framing and supports; we look at both the source and the damage.

  • Seismic work

    Bracing and anchoring wood-frame homes to their foundations is a common upgrade for older Oakland homes.
