About our structural repair work
Structural work is the part of a house you only see when something gives: a cracked or bowing foundation wall, water in the basement, a sagging beam, stairs that gave way, a tree on the roof. We repair it to code, with the permits pulled, and bring in a structural engineer for load calcs and stamped drawings whenever a load path changes.
