Since opening for business in 1984, Alameda Structural, Inc. has replaced and repaired more than 3,000 Bay Area foundations, with a focus on structural repair and seismic retrofitting. The company works on 200 to 275 foundations each year, and each job comes with an onsite team leader that manages the entire process, from demolition to pouring.

Experience and professionalism are major components of Alameda Structural. Owner George Walton has been involved in the construction trade since age 11 and has 27 years of experience in the foundation industry. Alameda Structural’s team members have an average of 12 years’ experience with the company, and new team members start at the bottom and work their way to becoming project managers, learning every aspect of the company’s operations in the process.

For the convenience of its clients, Alameda Structural works year-round and doesn’t require retainers, down payments or deposits. For most jobs, no money is owed until the project is finished. For larger jobs, installment payments occur as work is completed. Mr. Walton invites customers to visit the company’s website, www.alamedastructural.com, to view extensive references and photo galleries.

If clients are happy, we’ve done our job and will enjoy the related success. If they’re not happy, we’re not doing our job, and we’ll adjust our practices to fix any problems.”
