OUR RETROFIT SERVICES

Earthquake Tech started out in 1995 as Steve Gemmell Contracting — a sole proprietorship founded on principles of owner operated hands on construction contracting. Thirteen years later these same principles of progressive thinking, hands on quality work and attention to detail are what keep Earthquake Tech a word of mouth business.

Meet Earthquake Insurance Guidelines

Our largest source of business is through Portland's insurance companies, filling a niche that meets their stringent requirements. To certify this, we will provide to both you and your insurance agent city & engineering records that document in detail the work we complete.

As experts in bolting down all kinds of homes, we offer you the peace of mind knowing that both your family and your largest asset, your home, are protected. We also guarantee that our work makes you eligible for earthquake insurance.

"Earthquake Tech and Gemmell Construction were a pleasure to work with. They came in and within 2 days had securely bolted down our 80-year home. Now we can rest easier knowing our house is earthquake ready."

Increase Your Home's Value

Bolting down your home also increases its resale value. In a market where every square foot counts and the basement sees more scrutiny, retrofitting your home not only secures your home but increases its marketability.

Make a Great Investment in Your Home

Ranging from the simple to the complex, $2,500 to $4,500 on average makes our service competitive and a good investment.

I, Steve Gemmell, personally look forward to the opportunity to provide you with our brand of progressive construction services. Our references testify to that... and I encourage you to speak with our clients — they will take the time to speak with you when you call!

Please by all means call me, Steve Gemmell, directly to set up an appointment, ask questions and learn more about our references.

Sincerely,

Steve Gemmell
