A partial basement with a 6' ceiling at this Piedmont home was
completely excavated to create a habitable 7'6" ceiling height.
New retaining walls were constructed around the perimeter. |

| A new slab was poured. |
Interior walls were built, along with plywood for sheer strength. |
A drainage system 8'

| This three story apartment building in downtown Oakland had the original brick retaining walls in the basement and brick foundation in the crawls pace. We left the existing brick and installed new reinforced concrete retaining walls on the interior, saving the owner approximately $100,000 over the cost of the replacement. |
