Signs You Need a Carpenter

Cracks in Walls or Ceilings: Large or widening cracks can indicate shifting foundations or structural issues.
Uneven Floors: Sloping or sagging floors can signal problems with the foundation or support beams.
Visible Damage to Beams or Joists: Rot, mold, or insect damage on wooden structural components is a clear sign repairs are needed.
Bowing or Leaning Walls: Walls that appear to be bowing outward or leaning can be a serious structural concern.
Foundation Issues: Gaps between the foundation and walls, or visible damage to the foundation itself, are serious signs of structural problems.
Pest Infestation: Signs of termites or other pests can lead to significant structural damage over time.

“Should We Just Knock It Down and Start Over?”

It is often much more cost effective to renovate a garage than it is to knock down and start over. Additionally, local building code often requires new structures to sit further away from the property line than the existing one.

“It didn’t look load bearing…”

All too often, we see walls removed without proper support to the structure above. This will cause floors to sag, and roof lines to drop. Our team is well versed in both exposed and blind (hidden) beams.
