Los Feliz is a vibrant neighborhood in Los Angeles known for its rich history and beautiful architecture. Homes in this area reflect a blend of historic charm and modern elegance. However, due to their age, many homes in Los Feliz require foundation strengthening to ensure longevity and safety.
What is a Sister Foundation?
A sister foundation involves the installation of a new foundation alongside the existing one. This method reinforces the home’s structural integrity without needing a complete foundation replacement. It’s an ideal solution for preserving the original aesthetic and charm of historic homes in Los Feliz.
