South Seattle
A-FFIX did a very thorough and professional job earthquake retrofitting our house. Bruce
Schoonmaker, A-FFIX's principal, has received training in professional home seismic
retrofitting from the University of Washington Extension Program as part of Seattle's
Project Impact. Bruce remains active in the group that offers the earthquake preparedness
classes at the Phinney Neighborhood Association's Well Home Program. This course is designed
to teach homeowners how to secure their homes in preparation for an earthquake. A-FFIX
followed recommended standard procedures and permitting processes for tying our house to the
perimeter foundation using bolts and plywood sheer stress panels. They also secured our
water heater and installed and earthquake automatic shut-off valve in our gas line. Bruce
Schoonmaker is very safety conscious and makes sure the retrofit gets done correctly.
