You can brace and bolt your house almost for free—here’s how. Last year, a neighbor told us about the Earthquake Brace + Bolt program (EBB) that would allow us to brace and bolt our house for minimal cost. To take advantage, here’s what you need to do: 1. Apply by the program’s deadline, March 19. 2. If you’re accepted, you can have different contractors come out to your home to give you bids. 3. Submit your bids to the program. 4. As long as everything is approved, you get to work with the contractor of your choice. Overall, it was a pleasant process that was over in just one day. Now our home is braced and bolted against earthquakes for just a couple hundred dollars. “Make sure you apply as soon as possible.” Make sure you apply as soon as possible and tell anyone you know who could benefit from the  Earthquake Brace + Bolt program how to do it themselves. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d love to be a resource for you.  

The 1906 San Francisco Quake is one of the most powerful on record in California. Since then, there have been dozens of strong quakes that have caused widespread damage and loss of life – from the Northridge Quake in Southern California to the Loma Prieta Quake in Northern California.  Seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones reminds us that quakes can be sudden and unpredictable, but preparing for them can remove some of the danger.  First, we take a look at how to prepare for a quake with Chris Nance of the California Earthquake Authority, and Annde Ewertsen of Earthquake Brace + Bolt.

Here at the Dave Knight Real Estate Team, we love helping people buy and sell homes. I also love saving money, and today’s topic will be tips about how you can save money yourself if you’ve been thinking about retrofitting your home to prepare it for an earthquake. The credit for this tip goe to my neighbor Jim, who told me about the **EBB Program, which stands for ‘Earthquake Brace + Bolt.’** With this program, you can receive up to a $3,000 credit to help with the cost of bracing and bolting your home during the retrofitting process if you’re in an area where earthquakes are a serious threat. “This program can help take out a large chunk of the cost of retrofitting for you.” In order to take advantage, click here to visit the Earthquake Brace + Bolt website and apply for the program. Your home will need to meet certain criteria, such as being in the proper zip code, not being located on a hillside, and the home must be your primary residence. Once you apply, it’s essentially a lottery system that will give certain people that $3,000 credit. Now, the cost of retrofitting your home this way will be somewhere between $3,000 and $7,000, according to the website, so this credit will take out a large chunk of that expense for you. If your home isn’t braced or bolted in preparation for an earthquake, it’s a good idea to start thinking about that now. It could potentially save you money down the road, should an earthquake strike (knock on wood). For any further questions about this program or about buying or selling a home, you’re always encouraged to reach out to us. We’d love to speak with you.
