For earthquake retrofit & foundation contractors across LA
For Retrofit Contractors

A web designer who builds sites that become the local authority.

Earthquake retrofit is unusual: much of the demand is created by regulation rather than desire. A building owner receives an order to comply from the city, has no idea what it means, and starts searching in a mild panic about deadlines and penalties. Whoever explains the ordinance most clearly, not whoever bids lowest, tends to get the call.

I design and build custom websites for earthquake retrofit and foundation contractors. Every site is hand-coded, loads fast, explains compliance requirements in plain English, and turns that clarity into booked inspections.

The Retrofit Difference

Built so an owner with a compliance notice calls you first

Content is the entire competitive advantage here. What the soft-story ordinance requires, which buildings are affected, what the deadlines and extensions look like, how the permit and engineering process works, what a typical retrofit costs by unit count, what grant or incentive programs exist, and whether tenants can stay during work. Answer those and you rank while competitors run ads.

I build every retrofit site around that, then add the local SEO that gets you found for soft-story retrofit, foundation bolting and seismic retrofit searches across LA and the surrounding cities with their own ordinances.

Common Problems

What's hurting most retrofit websites

Most retrofit contractor sites I'm asked to fix share the same handful of problems, and every one of them wastes the biggest content opportunity in the trade.

The ordinance is never explained

Owners arrive confused and scared about deadlines. A clear guide to what the ordinance requires is the single highest-value page you can publish, and almost nobody has one.

No cost guidance

Retrofit pricing varies by unit count and building type, but a range by category turns an anxious owner into a scheduled inspection instead of a shopping spree.

Invisible in local search

These are geographically specific searches tied to city ordinances. Pages built for each city you serve capture owners at the exact moment they receive a notice.

Nothing about grants or funding

Grant and incentive programs come and go, and owners hunt for them. Being the site that explains what is currently available earns both links and calls.

No inspection booking

A free inspection or compliance review is a much easier first step than a bid request, and it puts you on site where the job is won.

No engineering credibility

This is structural work on occupied buildings. Your license, your engineering partners, permit handling and completed projects are what make an owner comfortable.

Questions

Common questions from
retrofit contractors

Custom projects come in three flat-rate packages: Starter from $1,000, Professional (with a blog and full local SEO) from $2,500, and Premium from $5,000 for larger sites with ordinance guides for multiple cities or project galleries. If you'd rather launch faster and for less, a template-based build is a great starting point. Every project is quoted as one fixed price after a free discovery call.

Ordinance explainers, by city. Owners receiving a compliance notice search for the rule, not for a contractor, so the page that explains the requirement is the page that gets the call.

A range by building type or unit count helps. Owners have no reference point and are often bracing for a catastrophic number, so a realistic range moves them to schedule an inspection.

Yes, and it is especially effective here because ordinances and deadlines differ between LA, Santa Monica, West Hollywood and others. Each page has genuinely different content, which ranks well.

Yes. Owners want to know who draws the plans, who pulls the permit, how long the city takes and whether tenants can stay. Answering that is what turns interest into a signed contract.

Yes. Program availability changes, so I build those pages to be easy to update, which also keeps them ranking as owners search for current funding.

Yes. The portfolio page shows a selection of completed projects across different industries. You can also browse available templates if you'd like to see the design options for faster turnaround builds.
