Frequently Asked Questions
What does Eagle Restorations do?
Eagle Restorations Group, Inc. is a Class 'B' licensed general contractor based in Arcadia, CA, specializing in the restoration and seismic repair of historic buildings throughout California. Core services include historic restoration, seismic and structural retrofit, adobe restoration and reconstruction, and building materials restoration — stained glass, fine carpentry, stone and marble, light fixtures, statues, and mouldings.
Is Eagle Restorations licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes. Eagle holds California Contractor's License No. 465977, a Class 'B' General Building Contractor license, and is fully bonded and insured.
How long has Eagle Restorations been in business?
Eagle Restorations Group was incorporated in 1991. President Jeff Seidner began in construction under his father's business and earned his own contractor's license in 1984. The company has 36+ years of experience and has completed over 80 projects across California.
What is seismic retrofitting, and does Eagle Restorations do it?
Seismic retrofitting reinforces a building's structure — foundation bolting, structural bracing, unreinforced masonry (URM) upgrades — so it better withstands earthquakes. It's one of Eagle's core services and is often combined with historic restoration on the same project, such as the Bank of Italy in Livermore, where Eagle performed a URM seismic retrofit and historic restoration under Historic Tax Credit Certification.
Does Eagle Restorations work on adobe buildings?
Yes — adobe restoration and reconstruction is a specialty: adobe mud plastering, adobe block repair and recreation, adobe retrofitting, and period-authentic interior lime plastering.
What's the largest project Eagle Restorations has taken on?
Projects have ranged up to $4.3 million in value. Eagle works on commercial buildings, churches, and federal, state, and local landmark structures — not just residential-scale jobs.
Can Eagle Restorations help rebuild a home damaged in the Altadena or Pasadena fires?
Yes. Eagle Restorations Group was founded in California's Foothill communities and offers end-to-end rebuild support for Altadena and Pasadena fire-affected homes — pre-construction planning, cost estimating, entitlement, schedule development, and construction — working alongside architects, engineers, and designers, with period-authentic craftsmanship and modern performance standards.
What areas of California does Eagle Restorations serve?
Eagle is based in Arcadia, CA, in the San Gabriel Valley, and works throughout the state. Past and current projects span California, including San Diego, Livermore, and Channel Islands National Park, among others.
Has Eagle Restorations worked on officially designated historic landmarks?
Yes. Over 40 of Eagle's past and current projects carry local, state, or federal historic landmark designations, and many are open to the public as interpretive museums.
What does it mean to work to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards?
It's the federal benchmark, maintained by the National Park Service, for appropriately treating historic properties — guiding decisions on repair versus replacement, material matching, and reversibility of work. Eagle routinely works to these standards, which matters for projects seeking historic tax credits or landmark compliance.
Has Eagle Restorations' work been publicly recognized?
Yes — recognized by the California Preservation Foundation, the Governor of the State of California, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the City of San Diego. Eagle is also a Partner organization of the California Preservation Foundation, and President Jeff Seidner is a member of the State of California Trust for Historic Preservation Foundation, the Building Trades Association, and the National Association of General Contractors.
