KEEPING HOMES AND FAMILIES SAFE FOR OVER 20 YEARS
Whether you’re selling your property and in need of the required Certificate of Compliance, or being proactive to safeguard your home and family in case of earthquake, Retrofit Express is your proven and trusted partner.

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE
Inspection and installations to satisfy LADBS Residential Property Report (previously known as a 9A report) and LADWP water conservation requirements.
Following the inspection and any needed installations you get a completed Certificate of Compliance ready to file with LADWP.
Fast turnaround times and worry-free service.
SEISMIC GAS SHUTOFF VALVES
An earthquake-actuated automatic gas shutoff valve (or Earthquake Valve) is one of the most inexpensive and wisest investments you can make for protecting your home and family.
An Earthquake Valve automatically shuts off the gas supply to your home in the event of a 5.4 or greater quake.
We’ve installed over 30,000 Earthquake Valves throughout the greater LA area. Our technicians are detail-focused craftsmen, ensuring every installation is done thoroughly and correctly.
SPECIALIZING IN LARGE MULTI-UNIT PROPERTIES
Whether your property is a single family home, condo, or large apartment building, Retrofit Express has the experience and expertise to ensure the inspection and installations are coordinated and completed properly, and the job is done right the first time.
Let us put our two-decades of know-how and experience to work for you. We understand the complexities associated with carrying out inspections and work at large multi-unit residential and commercial properties requiring extensive seismic gas shutoff controls, and are staffed and equipped to handle the biggest of jobs.
SAFETY INSPECTIONS FOR HOMEOWNERS
Don’t wait until it’s too late.
We do hundreds of safety inspections annually for homeowners who want to be sure their home is prepared BEFORE an earthquake or fire occurs.
