Soft Story Retrofit - Lost Angeles

---

​Why Retrofit My Home/Building?

Soft story retrofitting is preventive maintenance practice. You have identified that your building faces a risk of collapse or failure if an earthquake hits, retrofitting makes it resistant to these earthquake forces and prevents collapse.
Further, the collapse would mean the destruction of property, loss of lives and being rendered homeless. Retrofitting your building prevents all those.
Also, because you have put more measures to deal with the risk of earthquake failure, you have the upper hand in negotiating insurance premiums. That means you will pay less because the risk of collapse because of a soft story is reduced.
