Retrofit Seismic Upgrades - Residential Seismic Retrofit Portland

Retrofit / Seismic Upgrades

Seismic retrofitting is the modification of existing structures to make them more resistant to seismic activity, ground motion, or soil failure due to earthquakes. The house may slide off its foundation. The cripple walls (walls between the foundation and floor) may buckle and collapse (this is called racking).Your house may be lifted off its foundation.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

Home 4 general contractors

Paz F Pozarycki

I have worked with JAM Concept for many of my recent remodels and ADU projects. His work is absolutely amazing and the best value of any contractor I have used in 20 years. His workers are truly reliable and well trained. I highly recommend working with JAM Concept for not only remodels, but also painting, dry well and tile works as well.

Julio and JAM Concepts managed the remodel of my basement into a new apartment. It turned out beautifully!
Julio and his crew (and subcontractors) went the extra mile from figuring out a complicated drywall solution to fit in an extra storage closet, to working closely with me on very specific, not-at-all-standard tile pattern in the shower. Julio has a craftman’s eye, and genuinely wants your project to be the best it can be.
He is also fair, has integrity, and will make a job right. For example, once the flooring started to be installed, we realized the basement floor needed more leveling than originally thought. Julio pulled up the flooring and leveled where needed.
He listens and gives thoughtful advice on how things should be done. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Bill Ernst

I used Jam Concept Remodeling to build our 800SF ADU plus a 200SF detached bedroom/bath. Building two adjacent buildings in a typical Portland backyard posed special challenges. Access to the site was limited to foot traffic only and room to work was cramped, but they overcame the obstacles and built steadily through a rough winter. The results exceeded my expectations. They came in on budget and completed the project within my expected time frame. Julio and his crew were dependable, conscientious, and very hard working. They are well versed in many of the trades, which made for fewer subs to co-ordinate and kept the project moving right along. I’m very happy with the work they did and highly recommend them.
