Julian Construction Offers Foundation Underpinning Services

Foundation Repair Process Strengthens and Stabilizes Foundations

LOS ANGELES – Julian Construction, a Los Angeles based construction company that specializes in foundation repair and construction, today announced the availability of foundation underpinning services to stabilize building foundations and support second-story home additions.

“Underpinning is a highly specialized construction tecnhnique that requires either professional engineering or architectural design ,”says Julian De La Torre, founder of Julian Construction. “Our underpinning services cover the entire process, from planning to completing the repair.”

Underpinning involves increasing the depth or width of a building’s foundation by removing the soil beneath or to the side of the foundation, and replacing it with foundation material. It is used to strengthen a building’s existing foundation when a second-story has been added, or other modifications have taken place that effect wall load capacities. The technique also addresses and resolves problems associated with foundation settlement. Because of the many technical aspects of the process and to avoid further foundation damage, underpinning requires professional planning and execution.

Founder and retrofit expert Julian, along with his partner Shawn Kyles, an expert in foundation repair and house bolting, have retrofitted more than 6,600 homes, apartments and commercial properties since the early 1990s.

Tickets are still available from Al Brooks Tickets (www.albrooks.com) for the “West Side Story” tour that begins at The Fisher Theater in Detroit on September 30^th, and comes to the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on November 30^th.

The revival of the ground-breaking Arthur Laurents-Leonard Bernstein-Stephen Sondheim musical “West Side Story” officially opened on Broadway on March 19^th.

“West Side Story” is the tale of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet brought to the turbulent streets of the Upper West Side in 1950's New York City. Two star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria, find themselves caught between the rival street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds, the 'Jets' and the 'Sharks.' According to the show’s producers, their struggle to exist together in a world of violence, hate and prejudice “is one of the most heart-breaking, relevant and innovative musical masterpieces of our time."

This staging of “West Side Story” introduces the unprecedented element of selectively weaving Spanish throughout both the book and songs. Both "I Feel Pretty" (sung by Maria) and "A Boy Like That" (sung by Anita) are delivered entirely in Spanish.

The touring cast off the smash hit revival includes Kyle Harris as Tony, Ali Ewoldt as Maria, Michelle Aravena as Anita, Joseph J. Simeone as Riff and German Santiago as Bernardo.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Obtains Sales Tax Exemption for Tahoe Cruise Owner

Lake Tahoe Yacht Charter Owner Gets Sales Tax Exemption for Yacht Purchase

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) has obtained a sales and use tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization for their client, Tony G., in regards to his purchase of a yacht.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals are the pre-eminent experts in helping purchasers of aircraft and vessels to avoid paying sales and use tax in California.

Tony G. purchased the yacht, a 72-foot Sunseeker originally used as a yacht charter in the Bahamas, then had to transport it by road to Lake Tahoe. He also had to modify the yacht, removing the flying bridge, in order to allow it to fit under all the bridges on Lake Tahoe. Another part of the planning process involved the tax issues. At $1.35 million, the yacht was not a big boat but also a lot of sales tax for the California Board of Equalization.

Tony G. said, “As an aircraft owner, I was aware of the specialized service provided by Aero & Marine Tax Professionals. With some $108,000 at stake, Aero & Marine was one of my first calls. They took care of the whole process, and we gained our exemption in six months. If only there was someone like that who could have taken care of the bureaucracy involved in getting the boat to Tahoe.”

Thomas Alston, President of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated “Despite the current financial crisis, the opportunities in the personal and business aircraft sector for tax savings is expanding. We have the knowledge, experience and expertise to help purchasers of aircraft in California to legally avoid paying yacht tax.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers how to avoid sales tax, specifically how to avoid aircraft tax and yacht tax in California and to make certain the full value of their next aircraft, vehicle or vessel goes into their pocket--not the government's. They have successfully filed hundreds of tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Obtains Sales Tax Exemption for San Diego Business Owner

San Diego Meat Processing Plant Owner Gets Sales Tax Exemption for Yacht Sale

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) has obtained a sales and use tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization for their client, Rob J., in regards to his sale of a yacht.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals are the pre-eminent experts in helping purchasers of aircraft and vessels to avoid paying sales and use tax in California.

Rob J., who runs a large, state-of-the-art meat processing facility in Vista, California, with markets across the United States and overseas, explains that he ran into trouble with the California Board of Equalization five years after he sold a Mikelson yacht.

“I had no problems at all until after I’d sold the Mikelson to focus on business and family. It was then, about five years after the purchase, that the California Board of Equalization told me I had not qualified for a Sales and Use tax exemption. They were billing me $31,000 for a boat I’d already sold! On the advice of the broker, I’d organized offshore delivery in Mexican waters, and left it there for a 90 day period. Even though I thought I’d covered all the bases, it just wasn’t working with the tax people. They disputed the delivery information; it was an argument I just couldn’t win. Eventually I called Mikelson company itself and explained the dilemma. Who did they recommend to get me out of the situation? There was no hesitation: they said Aero & Marine are the best.”

Tom Alston, president of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, is familiar with Rob’s case. “This kind of slip-up happens more often than you’d think. That’s why we look after everything, right down to the smallest detail. In Rob’s case, it turned out to be a real simple thing, too. The company that did the delivery in Mexican waters had used the wrong form. That was it! We were able to get the paperwork right and fix the problem. Zero tax was payable.”

Today, Rob is thinking about Mikelson again. “You know,” he smiles, “Mikelson’s coming out with a 57 footer. If I do decide to go for it, Mikelson will be my first call. The second will be to Aero & Marine.”

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com) has obtained a sales and use tax exemption from the California Board of Equalization for their client, Bruce G., in regards to his purchase of an aircraft.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals are the pre-eminent experts in helping purchasers of aircraft and vessels to avoid paying sales and use tax in California.

A stint in the U.S. Navy cultivated Bruce G’s interest in W.W. II aircraft, so he decided to collect flyers from that era. An FM-2 Single-Seat Navy Fighter Wildcat was a recent acquisition for this Orange County stockbroker and CEO of his own firm. This fighter jet has been flown in air shows and displayed at an aircraft museum in Arizona.

Bruce G. said, “I was concerned and suspicious about the whole process and then I received the letter. I saved a lot, almost $70,000.00. Aero & Marine Tax Professionals did everything, all the filing from start to finish. Be smart, educate yourself and involve Aero & Marine Tax Professionals into the planning of the whole thing before you buy a plane.”

Thomas Alston, President of Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, stated “Despite the current financial crisis, the opportunities in the personal and business aircraft sector for tax savings is expanding. We have the knowledge, experience and expertise to help purchasers of aircraft in California and Arizona to legally avoid paying aircraft sales tax.”

Julian Construction Offers Re-Roofing Services

Company Removes and Replaces Excessive Roof Layers to Prevent Sagging

LOS ANGELES – Julian Construction, a Los Angeles based construction company that specializes in foundation repair and construction, is offering re-roofing services to prevent roof sagging and broken wood members from too many roof layers.

“When too many layers are added to a roof, the weight increase causes problems,” says Julian De La Torre, founder of Julian Construction. “We properly remove, repair and shear the roof to make it safe and perform longer.”

According to Julian, most cities have ordinances regarding the total number of allowable roof layers. When the limit is reached, the old layers must be removed before new ones can be added.

Julian also notes that a thorough checking for roof problems often requires removing all layers of a roof, which can add significant time and money to a roofing job.

“Installing a proper roof has several benefits. It can reduce heat absorption and increase attic ventilation which lowers home cooling costs, and more effectively prevent water intrusion, which causes dry rot and molds,” says Julian, who adds that “a roof that is properly installed also lasts longer.”

Homeowners can choose from a wide selection of roofing materials that meet building codes and requirements for any type of structure.

Julian Construction is a Southern California leader in building retrofitting and foundation repair. Founder and retrofit expert Julian De La Torre, along with his partner Shawn Kyles, an expert in foundation repair and house bolting, have retrofitted more than 6,600 homes, apartments and commercial properties since the early 1990s.

The company, which is dedicated to building preservation and security, offers a wide variety of services designed to address individual structural needs. Julian Construction’s “no middlemen” (no salesmen, no subcontractors) business model, insures high quality work at affordable prices. They can be contacted by phone at 323 733-3377, by fax at 323 733-4477 or via their website, www.julianconstruction.com.

Julian Construction Says Prevention is Best Solution for Concrete Slab Failure

LOS ANGELES: Julian Construction (www.julianconstruction.com), a construction company in the Los Angeles area that specializes in foundation repair, says prevention is the best solution for concrete slab failure.

“Slab replacement and extensive slab repairs can be costly,” says Julian De La Torre, founder of Julian Construction. “Regularly inspecting foundations for cracks, sinking or other damage is the best way to prevent concrete slab failure.”

According to Julian, most slabs crack or break due to water problems. Too much or not enough water can cause a shift in the soil under the foundation. Left undetected, the situation will worsen over time, resulting in expensive repairs or even the need for foundation replacement.

Julian recommends homeowners take advantage of professional foundation inspections that check for flooring problems, wall cracks, and sticky doors and window – indicators of possible foundation issues that may need addressing.

Julian also warns that some structural problems may not be visible during their early stages of development. “A foundation expert will also be able evaluate the potential for any future trouble.”

Julian De La Torre has been doing earthquake retrofitting since the early 1990s and has personally worked on over 6,600 homes in Southern California. With this unmatched experience in the substructure areas of a home, Julian formed Julian Construction in 2001 with the goal of making safer homes, apartments and commercial properties throughout Southern California. His partner Shawn Kyles has inspected over 15,000 structures, working with both engineering firms and local departments of building and safety, and is an expert in foundation repair and house bolting.
