Julian Construction is the only company you should call to retrofit your house. Not only did they do a great job, but they made us feel like we could trust them to make our house safer for the next earthquake. They did so at a very competitive price.
The Julian team was here ON TIME (something like 10 guys showed up) and proceeded to complete the job as promised.
They also did not want a single penny until the job was completely finished and the permit approved by a city inspector. The clincher was that they are fully insured with liability ins. and worker's comp.
