Did you know that older homes in the Los Area may be eligible to receive up to $3000 for earthquake retrofit? The California Earthquake Brace & Bolt (EBB) program is encouraging home owners with older homes to get their homes retrofitted by providing financial assistance to homeowners in selected zip code neighborhoods.
The consequences of an improper earthquake retrofit or of not strengthening an older home can be devastating. More than 1.2 million houses in high-hazard areas are particularly vulnerable to earthquakes due to the type of construction. These homes were typically built before 1979, wood-framed with a raised foundation and have a cripple wall in the crawl space under the house.
Eligible homeowners can apply for earthquake retrofit funding from January 23 – February 23, 2018, at earthquakebracebolt.com. As a proud partner of the Coldwell Banker Concierge’s service, AMRON encourages Coldwell Banker agents to urge qualified clients to take advantage of this program in order to provide added strength to their homes. As a FEMA trained, registered and participating EBB general contractor, AMRON is at your service to assist you and your clients with the application process and to answer your questions.
