The installation shown cost approximately $12,000 including engineering, materials, and labor.

SkinnyBraces are available in sizes that resist from 2,400 pounds to 11,750 pounds, using a seismic response modification factor ("R") of 6.5. Typically only ONE is needed, and can be installed on one side or the other of a garage door or other large opening in a wall. This makes the installation much more versatile than steel "moment frames" that are the traditional soft story bracing method. Faster, better, less expensive--get the skinny at our website!
