About Walnut Creek Foundation & Retrofit

Walnut Creek Foundation & Retrofit is an independent website about foundation repair, house leveling, hillside foundations and earthquake retrofits for older homes in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Danville and nearby communities.

What this site does

It explains how foundation problems and seismic retrofits work, what they typically cost, which grants and permits apply, and when an engineer is needed. When you call or send a request, it connects you with a local contractor who can look at your house and quote the work.

How the site is paid for

Walnut Creek Foundation & Retrofit is an independent website that connects homeowners with local foundation and seismic retrofit contractors. We are not a contractor; contractors may pay us for project requests. We do not do construction, inspections or engineering. Verify any contractor's license at the CSLB.

How the content is written

• Costs come from named sources and are shown as wide ranges.
• Program facts (Brace + Bolt, CEA discounts) link to the official source and carry an "as of" date.
• Nothing here is a structural diagnosis; questions about a specific house go to a licensed engineer or contractor.
• Not affiliated with the California Residential Mitigation Program, the California Earthquake Authority, FEMA or any city or county.
