Structural work that carries the house
Fire, water and time all reach the frame. We repair, replace and strengthen the parts that hold your house up, with an engineer's plan behind every fix.
When the damage is in the bones
A house that survived a fire nearby can still have hidden harm: charred framing in the attic, heat-stressed beams, a foundation cracked by heavy equipment during cleanup. Older houses carry their own wear, like settled footings or framing softened by a slow leak.
We open what needs opening, document what we find and bring in a structural engineer to decide what stays.
Engineered repairs, permitted properly
Structural fixes follow an engineer's details: new footings, sistered or replaced joists, steel or glue-laminated beams, shear walls and hold-downs. We obtain the permit, build to the drawings, and leave each repair open for the inspector before it is covered.
Preparing a frame for what comes next
Structural work is often the stage that unlocks a bigger plan, such as a second story, an opened floor plan or a rebuilt wing. We price it so you can see the structural cost on its own and decide the next stage with clear numbers.
Structural Work: questions
Look for charring, soot that runs into wall cavities, or a smoke smell that returns on warm days. An inspection with some walls or ceilings opened gives a firm answer, and we write up what we see.
Anything that changes how loads travel through the house should have one. Small like-for-like repairs sometimes do not. We tell you which is which before pricing.
Often, yes. Shear walls, hold-downs and foundation bolting can be added when walls are already open, which keeps the extra cost down.
