When it comes to soft story retrofit, the garage is one of the most vulnerable areas of a building. These open ground-floor spaces—often supported by slender posts—need special attention to ensure they can withstand seismic activity.


At Sinai Construction, we reinforce these weak points by installing steel straps and frames across the garage structure. This process ties the garage level securely to the rest of the building, creating a stronger, more stable foundation designed to perform during an earthquake.

Once the structural work is complete, we bring in an expert to apply stucco and paint, restoring a clean, seamless finish that blends perfectly with the original design of your building. The result? A safer structure that looks just as good as before—only stronger.
