Woman-owned construction company
A-Shape is a woman-owned and operated company. We are focused on three core principles: Quality, Safety, and Service.
Our expertise is built on a technical engineering education from UCLA and years of hands-on experience at construction sites of every complexity. We don’t just manage projects—we dive deep into every client’s specific needs to provide the most effective technical solutions.
What We Do Best
- Concrete foundations & structural slabs
- Rough framing (new construction & additions)
- Structural work & corrections
It’s math. It’s structure. It’s execution.
We Care
We offer a wide range of construction services, including design and planning, project management, construction, and post-construction maintenance. We are committed to delivering exceptional results on every project.
We often work alongside architects, engineers, and designers, translating plans into solid, buildable structures. Our clients trust us because we communicate clearly, respect timelines, and treat every project as if it were our own.
What we offer
Foundation Inspection
Foundation Inspection
Foundation Inspection
A professional assessment to identify structural compromises before they lead to failure. We examine the perimeter, check for settlement, and analyze cracks to determine if movement is active. We provide clear data for homeowners and GCs to decide on the next technical steps.
Seismic Retrofit
Foundation Inspection
Foundation Inspection
Strengthening a home to resist earthquake forces. This involves bolting the house to its foundation and reinforcing pony walls with plywood (shear walls). In LA, this is critical for older homes to prevent the structure from sliding off its base during a tremor.
Foundation Repair
Foundation Inspection
Foundation Repair
Correcting structural deficiencies caused by soil movement, poor drainage, or age. Our repairs focus on restoring the load-bearing capacity of the concrete. We follow the engineer’s specs to ensure the home is stabilized and the repair meets California building codes.
Slab Repair
Foundation Replacement
Foundation Repair
Addressing cracks, spalling, or heaving in concrete slabs. We identify the root cause—whether it’s expansive soil or moisture—and apply structural epoxy injections or reinforcements. The goal is a flat, stable surface that adheres to the original floor plan.
Underpinning
Foundation Replacement
Foundation Replacement
Deepening the foundation to reach more stable soil. When the current footings are failing, we install new support structures beneath them. This is the "inch-perfect" work required to stop a building from sinking further into unstable ground.
Foundation Replacement
Foundation Replacement
Foundation Replacement
The complete removal of a failed foundation and the pouring of a new one. This is a high-stakes engineering task where the house must be supported while we build a new, modern concrete base according to the latest seismic and structural blueprints.
Foundation Leveling
Foundation Leveling
Foundation Leveling
Lifting a home back to its original horizontal plane. We use hydraulic equipment to raise settled sections. Precision is key here to avoid damaging the framing or interior finishes while restoring the building’s level state.
Helical Piers
Foundation Leveling
Foundation Leveling
Steel shafts with helical blades screwed deep into the ground to provide structural support. They are ideal for stabilizing foundations in areas with poor soil quality. We drive them until they hit the torque required by the structural engineer’s plan.
Structural Support
Foundation Leveling
Structural Support
Installing beams, posts, or load-bearing walls to redistribute the weight of the building. We ensure that every support element is perfectly aligned with the architectural drawings to prevent sagging or structural failure.
Hillside Work
Pier & Beam Repair
Structural Support
High-complexity concrete work for homes on steep terrain. This includes installing caissons (deep piles), grade beams, and structural retaining walls. In Los Angeles, this is our specialty—building foundations that hold firm against gravity and soil erosion.
Slab Replacement
Pier & Beam Repair
Pier & Beam Repair
Full demolition and re-pouring of concrete slabs. When a slab is beyond repair, we remove the debris, prep the subgrade, and pour a new slab with the correct reinforcement and vapor barriers to ensure a lifetime of stability.
Pier & Beam Repair
Pier & Beam Repair
Pier & Beam Repair
Servicing older or "raised" foundations. We replace rotted wood posts, level sagging beams, and reinforce the concrete piers. This restores the structural grid of the home and eliminates bouncy or uneven floors.
Driveways
EBB Brace + Bolt Program
EBB Brace + Bolt Program
We design and install high-durability driveways that combine structural strength with clean aesthetics. Whether it’s a standard entry or a complex hillside approach, we ensure proper subgrade preparation and precise reinforcement to prevent cracking and shifting. We deliver a smooth, long-lasting surface that enhances your property’s value and stands up to heavy use.
EBB Brace + Bolt Program
EBB Brace + Bolt Program
EBB Brace + Bolt Program
Specialized seismic retrofitting under the California Earthquake Brace + Bolt program. We help homeowners secure their properties by bolting the house to the foundation and bracing the crawl space. This work is done to strict FEMA and state standards
