Next Foundation Retrofit — home (323) 521-9009

About us

Builders first. The seismic work is why we exist.

Next Foundation Retrofit is a licensed, bonded, and FEMA-trained Los Angeles general contractor specializing in seismic and foundation retrofit work. We're not a marketing company that subs out crawlspace jobs; we're the contractor, and the crew that inspects your house is the crew accountable for the result.

Verify everything. Please.

The fastest way to sort real contractors from the rest is public records. Here are ours:

How we think about this work

A retrofit is a strange product: if we do it perfectly, you'll hopefully never see it work. So we've built the business around the only things you can evaluate — evidence and behavior. Photos of everything we find. Prices published where anyone can check them. A fixed quote that stays fixed. Permits on every job. And an honest "you don't need us" when that's the truth, because the referral that sends us is worth more than the job we didn't take.
