We hired them to perform seismic work at our home and they were responsive with the quote, on time and timely with the work, and courteous and very clean when on site. I highly recommend Secure Seismic

Daryl is amazing to work with. He is a smart guy and did some great problem solving when it came to my project. He was always available by phone and walked me through any questions I had. His crew was excellent. They were kind, fast and left the place looking fresh and clean. Definitely recommend!

We've hired SecureSeismic to repair the foundation for a residential house based on the great Yelp reviews. Daryl, the owner, worked directly with us via emails and phone calls since we are located in Michigan. We were blown away by the quality of work, prompt communications, and honest assessments. We were so impressed that we hired him again to do additional repairs around garage foundation. The overall cost of the repairs was very reasonable and the work was guaranteed. In short, the SecureSeismic rocks (no pun intended, specializing in earthquake proofing)!

I don't write a lot of vendor reviews, so it is a reflection of how happy I am with the work done by Secure Seismic that I am motivated to write this one. Secure Seismic just completed a seismic retrofit of our 1924 basement. Daryl responded quickly to my call and we didn't have to wait long for him to come and inspect our basemen. I obtained 2 other bids. His was not the lowest, but it was the clearest and most complete. And the lowest bid included a number of exemptions that would have left us open to last minute additional charges. Also Daryl's bid included connecting the rim joist to the sill plate. The low bidder did not include those connections, which I believe is required by code. Daryl walked me through all that needed to happen. He clearly knows his stuff and was happy to explain the technical aspects of the project and whatever else I needed to know. We resolved on the spot any contingencies like the condition of the concrete in the foundation, what sheetrock he would need to cut, how he would work around some water lines in the way, and how he would protect the wood trim in the stairwell. He said it would be a two day job. I received an email in about 5 days and was connected with Nicole to arrange scheduling and payment. She was friendly and professional and very responsive throughout. Secure Seismic is busy enough that we had to wait a couple of months to start the work. All 3 bidders were on about the same timeline. Your experience may vary depending on the season and the economy but don't wait til the last minute if you need to get this work done. The crew showed up exactly on time. Daryl was with them. He did not stay for the whole job, but he was there to walk them through the plan and to be sure my wife and I were comfortable. The crew were quite professional and experienced. They brought their tools in through the back door to minimize walking through our house; laid down tarps to protect furniture and floors; removed as little drywall as possible, and answered any questions we had at the time. The noise was manageable - there was sawing, drilling and torque driving lots of bolts, so it's not the most peaceful way to spend a couple of days. But it's nothing like a roofing job, and the house didn't shake. We were able to stay at home the whole time. We have finished wood trim in the stairwell, which goes down along the foundation wall. Other companies wanted to tear out the wood or pay extra to work from the outside and remove siding - and leave it to me to replace. Daryl said he would take care of it as part of the job. And his team did just that - they made very clean cuts in the wood trim with a reciprocal saw to accommodate the plates. They were able to use flat plates at this location. They then replaced the cut wood over the plates and caulked the seams. I just need to paint, and the cuts will barely show. I am so grateful for this professionalism. The crew finished early afternoon on the second day. They cleaned up thoroughly and said goodbye. The plates are a bit shocking at first, but we are getting used to them. And the peace of mind is worth it. I highly recommend Secure Seismic.

Secure Seismic was one of four contractors from whom we received bids to do a seismic upgrade on our 1948 bungalow. We liked the owner's no-nonsense approach from the start. Daryl responded quickly to our questions but unlike others did not attempt to sell add-ons. We did hire an independent structural engineer to assess the house, and he noticed some other issues that we took back to Secure Seismic for an additional estimate. Even with the additional work, the total cost was well under the closest competitor. We were also pleased to see Secure Seismic has an excellent record on the Oregon Construction Contractors' Board website. Our project was completed on time as scheduled by helpful office staff and a cheerful and tidy crew, and after a minor glitch with our city software the required seismic upgrade permitting process went through seamlessly. We are well pleased with Secure Seismic's work for us and are glad to recommend the company.

Daryl, the company owner, was extremely professional and knowledgeable and put us at ease. The work was done quickly and efficiently and everything was cleaned up afterwards. Communication was good. The cost was slightly less than quoted by another company. We were very satisfied!

This company worked with me from beginning to end. Nicole in the office was very responsive to my many emails , calls , and questions. Also very kind and patient when I had to change dates several times. I was impressed with the very knowledgeable and friendly crew that came out to do the work. They were careful to lay down plastic and care about cleaning up. Also kept me up on what they were doing and why. Thank you for their professionalism . My house was partial crawl space and partial slab, so they had to cut windows into our siding to bolt the part of the house house to the slab and then caulk the pieces back in. I was able to get our painter out to touch up within days and you can't tell anything was ever altered. They also did some foundation crack repair and sidewalk porch crack repair. Very nice job and nice to have it done well. It was very much worth the investment in our biggest asset, our home. Didn't think I could afford it at first, so only did the auto shut off valve on the gas line. But later ended up with a little savings and thought about how much more expensive it would be to be red tagged after an earthquake and replace a home, so went for it! Good peace of mind. Definitely not a quiet job if you stay in your house like we did, but my neighbors said they barely heard it from the outside. Thank you to Daryl for explaining how this all works and assessing my particular house, with his engineering knowledge able to explain earthquake movement and possible damage or not. I trusted what he said (and his company's good reputation) but thought I would get a second opinion just to be sure. Had a hard time getting anyone local to come out or even answer my calls. Got the feeling that my job wasn't big enough, so thank you also Darrell and the crew for being willing to drive down to Corvallis from Portland and get this done. We are so happy we did it!
