A failing foundation can compromise the safety, stability, and long-term value of a home. In cases where damage is extensive, repairs alone may no longer be effective. Foundation replacement is a structural solution designed to restore full integrity to a home by removing and rebuilding the foundation system.
Golden Retrofit provides residential foundation replacement services in Los Angeles, focused on structural safety, code compliance, and long-term performance. Our work begins with a professional inspection to determine whether replacement is truly necessary or if other foundation solutions may be appropriate.
Foundation replacement involves removing an existing foundation and constructing a new one to properly support the home.
This solution is typically used when a foundation is severely damaged, structurally unsound, or no longer repairable.
In Los Angeles, foundation replacement must meet current building and seismic standards.
Foundation replacement is a major structural process that involves lifting or supporting the home, removing the existing foundation, and building a new foundation system beneath it.
Unlike foundation repair or leveling, replacement is considered when:
Structural damage is widespread
The foundation has significant deterioration
Previous repairs have failed
The foundation does not meet current safety requirements
This process restores the home’s ability to safely carry structural loads and withstand ground movement.
Not all foundation problems require replacement. However, certain conditions indicate that repair may no longer be sufficient.
Common reasons a home may require foundation replacement include:
Severe cracking or crumbling concrete
Extensive settlement or sinking
Long-term water damage or soil erosion
Unreinforced or outdated foundation systems
Structural instability affecting multiple areas of the home
A professional foundation inspection is essential to determine whether replacement is the correct solution. For guidance on evaluating foundation conditions, see our resource on foundation repair and structural evaluations in Los Angeles.

Foundation replacement costs vary depending on:
Size and weight of the home
Foundation type and depth
Accessibility of the site
Structural complexity
Permit and engineering requirements
Because replacement is a major structural project, costs are determined only after inspection and planning. A professional evaluation ensures the scope is accurate and appropriate.
