Alpha Structural, Inc, Sunland CA

Had some major foundation work done, and Alpha Structural's team did an excellent job. Aaron put together the best affordable solutions for me. If it wasn't for his creativity, and knowledge, I would not have a chance to complete this project. Juan, and his work crew (Juvencio, Sergio, and Albert) were very efficient, and always professional. They kept the worksite super clean, and completed the work right on time.

I could not have asked for more. Alpha literally saved my home.

Thank you Sincerely! Highly Recommend!
Happy Holidays!

My experience with Alpha Structural was phenomenal! The entire staff was very professional, friendly and efficient! I would definitely recommend their services. Chris and his team were amazing!

Selected Alpha for a complicated hillside excavation & waterproofing job and am extremely happy with the results. Professional from start to finish - Aaron, Ernesto and the crew Juan, Salvador and Gilder did a great job.

I had Alpha Structural do an earthquake retrofit on my house earlier this year. I had been approved by the EBB Brace & Bolt program for a grant rebate. From the first contact to the last Alpha Structural was a high quality group with professionals at every level. They took care of all the interactions with the state in relation to what they required, and AS kept me informed and up to date on the process. Once it came time to do the work, they were efficient and clean. The City of Glendale was impressed and so was a third party inspector the state sent by to check on the quality of the work. I have peace of mind that my house is in the best shape it can be to withstand the next inevitable earthquake. I would recommend Alpha Structural to anyone requiring work in their area of expertise.

Alpha has done a beautiful job on our building. They did a seismic retrofit which looks great, finishing the job in the projected timeline. On the other side of the building, we had a 5 inch building slope which looked terrible from the exterior. They brought this to an even level and reinforced the structural issues that were causing the deterioration. Manny and his team have been hard working and communicative throughout the project. And have made extra efforts to help out our residents with other extra issues that popped up during the project. We were very happy with our experience with Alpha.

Alpha is the best! My wife and I are looking to buy a house in Los Angeles and needed a reliable foundation assessment, and Alpha Structural came out to do a home inspection and check the foundation. The inspector was awesome! He made the whole process totally stress-free, he was very knowledgeable and made my wife and I feel comfortable while talking about an area we didn't know much about. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a trustworthy foundation repair company in Los Angeles that handles all types of foundation needs. Highly recommend!

From the beginning to the end, I have been very impressed with the professionalism and courtesy of Alpha Structural employees. Price was fixed and hassle-free. Internal inspections ensured quality of work. The on-site workers and supervisor were very responsive. While they do their job with integrity and professionalism, it is important to follow closely to ensure you understand their work and ask questions. At times they accommodated work that was not in their scope, but necessary for the structural integrity. Overall, it was a pleasure to have had their service to a difficult project we had for a hybrid raised and slab foundation.

I contracted Alpha Structural to do a partial foundation replacement of my hillside property in LA. They were very responsive at the beginning in making me feel that they were the right company for the job. Their work reputation seemed good and I felt comfortable with the lead contact, Aaron, when he explained the care and detail the company applied to their work. They pointed out that plumbing had to be moved and recommended a company, Hector Gomez Construction, with whom they would coordinate to do that work. During the first part of the job, they would notify me only the day before or sometimes the morning of that they would shut off the water and/or electricity to the property in order to do their work. This proved a severe inconvenience that could have been handled much more responsibly with better planning and communication on their part. When the excavation phase began, they ripped the sewer line, causing damage and cleanup fees to be added to the budget. LA Housing then shut down the project for a few weeks because no permits had been pulled for the plumbing work, causing me to have to be in touch with the city weekly in order to coordinate inspectors' visits and paperwork. Halfway through the work, the doors in the house became inoperable. Interior doors would not close and exterior doors were hard to budge or stuck shut altogether. I notified them of this safety issue, to which they said they would respond to, but took weeks of reminding before they did anything about it. Towards the end of the work, their foundation adjustments caused over $6k damage to the interior of the building including a tile floor replacement, cracking grout in the shower, and large gaps between the windows and the walls. I told them my concerns and they said they would "work with me" to find a solution. They sent a contractor to fix these issues. When I asked repeatedly about how we could agree on payment, they told me they were not responsible for damage to the property. This was an element in the contract that when I asked about at the beginning was downplayed. If I had any idea they would cause such extensive structural damage and not pay for it, I would never have hired them. They will fix your foundation, but at great cost and inconvenience.

I responded to one of their job posts on Craigslist a couple weeks ago for “Structural Construction Project Manager” at their Santa Ana office, near where I live. My resume has zero construction experience but many years of project management in another industry.
I received a voicemail from Pamela for an interview. Called her back within a couple hours. Didn’t hear back for 2 weeks. Randomly got a call from her again the other day and scheduled an interview for yesterday. Apparently the interview had to be at their Sunland location, a 90 minute drive from me, no problem. I show up for the interview and with a fake apologetic smirk on his face Nick pretty much immediately eliminated me from consideration. Understandable since I don’t have construction experience. But unprofessional and inconsiderate of my time and gas money for them to incompetently schedule an interview for someone who had to drive so far with no chance of being hired. Also they’ve been posting the same ads for several of the same positions for well over a year. Safe to assume many people get in and then quit due to disorderly conduct from management and/or being underpaid.
Nick told me they pay only $17-$18 an hour for entry level construction workers that are expected to do the type of tough/dirty construction that requires crawling under houses and etc. Perhaps this is an industry problem, but those guys should be getting much more than $17-18 an hour. If you want to be underpaid and maybe have your time disrespected, apply here!

Supervisors and staff - very good. Actual workers doing the process are really great, knowledgeable and efficient! I am writing this review as Antonio and Alcjando did a fantastic job and did not mind me asking questions and checking out their work as my project progressed. Overall, we are glad we did this work as we live in area with potential huge earthquakes.

Requested Alpha Structural to assess the foundation given cracks in the walls and water drainage issues. Venessa was knowledgeable and straightforward in her assessment. She provided actionable recommendations. We will be engaging them through our project.

Alpha Structural is really something.the way they work from start to finish absolutely professional.it was a pleasure working with Jose Alvirde to finalize everything that needed to be done to close the permit. Jose came in really professional and friendly, and kept giving updates on anything that was needed to be done even thoe the last person who was in charge of making sure everything was finaled wasn't responding to my emails, or texts.but jose came and in a introduce who he was and who he worked with as well as what the reason he was in contact with me.he handled everything with great work, professionalism.he really make sure everything gets done, in a fast and easy manner.way better then the previous person was doing. Alpha is a amazing company in which i will recommend to anyone and i sure will recommend it to my friends and family. Jose takes pride in his work and makes sure we get satisfied and that me and my family acknowledge it.

Requested estimates from Alpha Structural and from the beginning, the admin to Carlos who came out to the house was fantastic. Communication was great, arrived on time on the dot, and provided awesome recommendations and suggestions. By the far the best structural place I’ve contacted. Will continue to use them if any other issues in the future!

Alpha Structural came out and inspected my foundation. The assessor was honest and informative, explaining in detail the assessment of my foundation. I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness and find Alpha Structural to be a trustworthy company.

I love out in Florida so they didn’t get to do any work for me but after encountering a water leak issue and a ton of wood rot on an exterior wall of mine I went on Instagram and searched for contractors to get advice since I can’t afford to hire a company. They responded right away and were still helpful even though they knew I was from out of town. It shows they aren’t just looking for money but they honestly care about their customers. Because of this I strongly recommend them!

Competent structural experts and true professionals with exceptional work ethics. I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Chris Olson and Richard Sullivan on a number of projects, including an earthquake retrofit.

We purchase a 100 yr old house that needed some reinforcement of the foundation. Alpha was recommended to us from a few sources. Met with Carlos in sales. He worked with us to find the happy medium of getting as much work done that was within our budget.

The week of construction; Adolfo, alfredo, Ernesto and the entire team did am amazing, professional job. They went above and beyond what we discussed. They finished the job with minimal side effects to the building. They supplied photos of the work completed. Would easily recommend Alpha to friends needing structural work done.

We called Alpha Structural to assess a failing block wall in our backyard, which is on a hill, along with a couple of cracks in our upstairs bedroom walls. Alpha Structural assessor, Aaron C.was on time to the appointment. He walked the yard with us, and pointed out some things, that after talking with him, were evident. Bottom line, the wall we thought was a retaining wall was not, and the actual retaining wall, is further down the hill and is in good shape, phew! He also made some suggestions regarding a big tree compromising the actual retaining wall, which we will need to address. The second item he assessed was the cracks in the bedrooms, after figuring out and explaining the issue, we arranged to install a beam in our garage (under the bedrooms) to stabilize the structural beam below the bedrooms. Felicia called me to schedule the work, as she stated, the Foreman, and his crew (Julio and another gentlemen) called me before arriving, they arrived on time, and ready to go. Ernesto was very informative about how the day was going to work out, there was some question of how the beam would fit, but we worked through that, and Ernesto kept me updated through the process. Julio and partner got to work. The noise was not too bad, and they cleaned up after the work was done, they took all the dirt they dug up for the footing and left the area clean. The crew was very polite, and respectful of our home. That goes a long way with me and my wife.
We definitely would call on Alpha Structural again, if needed, and also highly recommend them.
Thank you, Ernesto, Julio and team!

ALPHA STRUCTURAL ROCKS (pun intended)!

Please view ALL of the photos as they show the chronology.

In January 2021, this home was being painted when a friend suggested, "Why don't you have those cracks looked at - it will cost you a couple of thousand dollars or so. " But what ensued was two bids requiring 15 days of foundation restoration/replacement! Alpha's highly skilled team made this major investment minimally stressful given the scale of this project.

I can only sing the praises of Brad Nestler (estimator), Chris Olson (Lead Supervisor), Alvaro and Alfaro (outstanding laborers), and the dedicated, efficient office staff, Kasandra Godbold and Tiffany Guerra.

As a picture speaks volumes, only they can best show the stunning transformation.

Alpha went above and beyond, and even timed their workflow to accommodate the schedule of my valued tenants and of the plumbers so that they could also tie in a new water line simultaneously.

In closing, ALPHA STRUCTURAL ROCKS!

We hired Alpha to initially repair & support a structural beam that had started to crack in the basement of our 47 unit apartment building in Long Beach (7/21). They were the only contractor we received estimates from that could do both the repair and in-house engineering. They did an incredible job on our building, from the estimate to permitting to completion! Brad Nester later found additional damage (we requested further inspection) that was able to be added to the current job, thereby shortening the time having to deal with the city a second time (initial permit took 6 mos to obtain!)
Special shout out to Steve & Lawrence, supervisors on the job, who met with us and kept us informed of any updates, as well as providing us with after pictures. And a special thank you to the actual crew, Thomas & Chino, who had to work in a crawlspace of about 2-3', in not-so-ideal conditions!
Thank you Alpha!
