Hi, I'm researching some different properties in San Francisco and Los Angeles. A lot of properties tend to be older (pre-1950s) especially in the Bay Area. It seems common for these older properties to need some seismic retrofitting to increase the safety in the case of a major earthquake.  Does anyone know if making the recommended seismic improvements will make these older buildings as safe as newer constructions or will older buildings always be less structurally sound?

Maybe Yelp or Angie's List?

@John Upperman beautiful remodel! You mention that your partner has a construction background, but you contracted out most of the remodeling work.  Were the contractors from existing relationships or how did you go about finding them? 

@Ryan Landis where are the details for the SF meetup?  Thanks!

@Account Closed did you have a specific process to find your preferred contractors and designers?
