Mares & Dow – General Home Contractors
Protect Your Property With Seismic Retrofit Services
Serving San Francisco and East Bay Since 1983
Ensuring earthquake resistance in structures of all kinds is absolutely essential in many regions, especially the San Francisco Bay Area. The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake demonstrated the importance of strong foundations and structures, and that remains true to this day.
Professional seismic retrofit services from the team at Mares & Dow Construction & Skylights can help protect any structure from ground motion, soil failure, and other dangerous conditions.
