Our Mission

“To strengthen all existing structures and environmentally protect pathways.”

Todd formed Rooted Retrofitting after many years of working with each on projects.  After meeting while working for PaineWebber Financial Services they Co-Founded of Eco Green Renovation. Todd’s vast knowledge of construction and construction management and passion for construction restoration lead the  to developing Rooted Retrofitting.  The earthquake drought that we have been in for the last three decades is something that we consider a major issue. We feel that retrofitting of homes and building is very important if we want to save the history of the bay area, so we decided to focus on seismic (earthquake) retrofitting.

We can help!

Todd Claus
Owner/Contractor

I grew up working with my father and grandfather on all kinds for construction projects but soon after college I settled into the financial services industry. After many successful years I returned to the construction industry my grandfather instilled in me at a young age.  Co-Founder of Eco Green Renovation a “LEED” (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) managed consulting company lead me to retrofitting of structures.  I am a student of old building standards and have a respect for structures of all eras. Retrofitting of homes and buildings was a natural fit to protect and extend the life of these structures as well as provide security and safety to families and family homes.

Some reasons why you should choose to work with us

Reduce Housing Loss

Seismic retrofit of older buildings is the best tool for reducing housing losses. A recent study found that for every $1 spent on mitigation, you can save $3 in earthquake losses. Retrofit also protects investments, keeps residents in their homes, and keep communities intact.

Small Investment Yields Protection

Retrofitting of anchorage is a high priority because it provides a very large earthquake bracing improvement at a very small cost. Dwellings that slide off of their foundations due to lack of anchorage to the foundation have been very commonly seen in moderate to major earthquakes. Many older buildings were constructed without anchor bolts, or have too few or inadequately installed bolts. On the west coast anchor bolts became common in approximately the 1950’s

Todd and his team were excellent. From design to build they were easy to talk to, listened to what we wanted and delivered on budget and on time. Would absolutely recommend them. First rate for professionalism, friendliness, trustworthiness and attention to detail. Will definitely be using them again for our next project.
