Utah Contractor License #14292867-5501. Structural work is completed under a licensed general contracting scope with permits and inspections as required.

Engineer Coordination Included
Many structural repairs need an engineer's sizing or letter. We coordinate with structural engineers and handle the paperwork so nothing stalls.
Structural repair services we provide
Load-Bearing Wall Assessment & Modification
We determine which walls carry load, then remove or modify them with correctly sized headers, posts, and bearing points — never guesswork.
Beam & Header Replacement
Undersized, sagging, or damaged beams and headers replaced with engineered lumber or steel, sized for the span they actually carry.
Sagging Floor & Joist Repair
Sistered joists, added mid-span bearing, and post-and-girder corrections that address why the floor sagged — not just how much it deflects.
Framing Repair After Water or Rot Damage
Studs, plates, and substructure damaged by long-term leaks, dry rot, or pests cut out and rebuilt with sound material.
Subfloor Repair & Replacement
Soft, bouncy, or damaged subfloor sections replaced so flooring installs flat and does not telegraph problems later.
Post, Pier & Footing Corrections
Crawlspace and basement posts reset on proper footings, with shimming and connections corrected to carry load as designed.
Sill Plate & Rim Joist Repair
Deteriorated sill plates and rim joists at the foundation line repaired — critical details for both structure and seismic resilience.
Garage Door Header Upgrades
Garage door openings framed with headers sized for the loads above, including when converting garage space or storing items overhead.
Repairs Uncovered During Remodeling
When a remodel opens a wall and reveals bad framing, cracked members, or previous improper work, we repair it as part of the project scope.
Engineer & Permit Coordination
Structural repairs often require an engineer's letter and city permits. We coordinate both — design professionals, permit submittals, and inspections — as part of the job.
Structural work is done once, or it is done twice
A structural repair is not cosmetic. When a header is undersized or a bearing point is missing, the house keeps telling you about it — sticking doors, cracks that return after patching, floors that keep dropping. Covering it with drywall and paint does not fix the load path underneath.
That is why every structural repair starts with diagnosis: what is carrying load, where the load goes, and what failed. When a span or condition needs engineered sizing, we bring in a structural engineer rather than approximating — and we coordinate their scope with the city's permit requirements.
We will also tell you when something is not urgent. Some movement is normal in homes of every age, and not every crack means a failing structure. Honest assessment first — repair only what needs repairing.

Can you tell me if a wall is load-bearing?
In most cases yes — framing direction, beam locations, and bearing points are usually identifiable with access to the framing. When the structure is ambiguous or the wall carries significant load, we involve a structural engineer rather than guess.
Do I need an engineer to remove a wall?
For walls carrying floor or roof loads, an engineer's sizing is typically required to design the replacement beam and verify the bearing below. We coordinate the engineer, the permit, and the construction as one scope.
Do structural repairs require permits?
Structural work generally does require a permit, and inspections verify the repair. We handle permit submittals and schedule the inspections as part of the project — you do not have to navigate the city yourself.
Can you fix sagging floors?
Yes, once we know why they are sagging. Undersized joists, failing posts, settlement, or moisture damage each call for a different repair. We diagnose first, then repair the cause — not just the symptom.
Will my insurance cover structural repairs?
It depends on the cause. Sudden events like a vehicle impact or a storm may be covered, while gradual wear or long-term leaks often are not. We document the damage and the cause clearly so you have what your adjuster needs.
How disruptive is structural repair work?
It varies with the scope. Load-bearing wall work means temporary support while the beam goes in; floor repairs mean opening the ceiling or floor below the problem. We plan dust control and phasing so the disruption is as short and contained as possible.
What affects the cost of a structural repair?
What the member carries, the span involved, whether engineered sizing is required, access to the work area, and how much finishing (drywall, paint, flooring) has to be restored afterward all affect the price. We provide a written, itemized estimate after assessing the structure — there is no charge for the assessment.
