Bouncy floors, soft spots, gaps along baseboards, doors that won't close right — these aren't cosmetic problems. They're symptoms of structural issues below your floor. We diagnose the cause and fix it permanently.
Most floor problems trace back to one of three causes: undersized framing in older homes, water damage to wood members, or original construction shortcuts. Once we identify the root cause, we engineer a permanent fix.
Different problems require different solutions. Every repair is engineered for permanent results.
Heavy-duty support posts that lift and stabilize sagging beams or joists at any point.
New joists fastened alongside damaged ones, restoring full load capacity without removal.
Severely rotted girders are temporarily supported, removed, and replaced with new engineered lumber.
Damaged plywood sections are cut out and replaced with code-compliant material.
Crushed, cracked, or missing piers are rebuilt or replaced to support the structure properly.
Adjustable jacks slowly raise sagging floors over days or weeks to prevent drywall cracking.
A floor that's bouncing today is already redistributing weight to other framing members that weren't designed for it. Wait a year and what was a $3,000 sister-joist job becomes a $12,000 beam-and-pier rebuild.
The good news: caught early, most structural issues are quickly and affordably fixed. We start with a free inspection that includes:
If a home inspector flagged structural issues during a sale, we can typically schedule and complete repairs within 7-10 days with full documentation for the buyer/lender.
Stabilization-only jobs (a few jacks or one sister joist) often run $1,500-$4,000. Major repairs with new beams or extensive damage can be more.
Often yes, but not always. We can typically lift a sagging floor close to level using adjustable jacks raised slowly over days or weeks. In severely settled homes we focus on stabilization and substantial improvement rather than picture-perfect levelling, which can crack drywall and trim above.
No. All repairs happen from below in the crawl space. Your finished floors, baseboards, and walls aren't touched. Most homeowners don't even know we're working until we send them photos.
Yes. Beyond the obvious bouncy-floor annoyance, sagging joists transfer load to adjacent framing not designed for it, which leads to cascading damage: cracked drywall, sticking doors, even compromised wall framing in severe cases. Termites and moisture damage also accelerate once a member is weakened.
Usually no, unless the damage was caused by a covered event (storm, sudden plumbing break). Wear, settling, and moisture damage over time is generally an owner expense. We offer financing for qualified homeowners.
For most repairs, no — our scope is well within standard residential construction practice. For unusual situations (load-bearing wall changes, foundation cracks, post-event damage) we coordinate with licensed structural engineers and can provide stamped reports when needed.
