Three signs your home has a structural problem.
Cracks on the beam.
Cracks, splits, or sagging in basement beams or joists are often the first warning that the structure below your home is failing.
Sagging or uneven floors.
Floors that slope, dip, bounce, or feel uneven underfoot usually point to weakened supports or beams underneath.
Doors that don't close.
Doors and windows that suddenly stick, jam, or won't close can mean the frame of your house is shifting.

Small structural problems do not fix themselves. They get worse and more expensive over time. The inspection is free.
How we fix it.
- Lally columns and new footings
- LVL beams
- Sistering weak joists
- Replacing beams when they are too far gone
- The right fix for your problem, not a one size fits all
Termites eat the wood that holds your home up.
Massachusetts has termites. They damage beams, joists, and sills from the inside out, often hiding for years. The wood can look fine outside and be hollow inside. We fix what they eat.
Signs termites hit your structure.
Mud tubes.
Thin dirt tunnels running up your foundation or basement walls.
Sagging or bouncy floors.
The joists under them may be eaten through.
Hollow or crumbling wood.
Wood that sounds hollow when you tap it, or crumbles when you poke it.
Sawdust or wings.
Small piles of what looks like sawdust, or tiny wings near your windows.
We are the ones who rebuild the structure.
If termites are still active, a pest company treats them first. Then we fix what they ate. Not sure what you are dealing with? We come out and tell you straight. The inspection is free.
We tell you the truth.
A sagging floor can be a weak wood beam, or it can be the foundation. They are different problems with different fixes. Some companies push one expensive product no matter what. We do not. We look at your home, find the real cause, and give you the honest fix. If it is something we do not handle, we tell you that too.
28 years. We have seen it all.
Termite eaten beams. Floors sagging six inches in the middle. Lally columns standing on dirt. Whatever you have, we have fixed it before, and we have made the home solid again. Licensed and insured. No pressure, ever.
Spotlight projects.
Real structural work we completed in Massachusetts.
Lally columns install & beam replacement
Replaced a failing basement beam and installed new lally columns on solid footings. The floor above was sagging and the doors upstairs were sticking. We leveled the floor and restored the support. [Add project details here. ]
Lally columns installation
Installed multiple lally columns to support a weakened main beam in an older Worcester home. The job was completed in a day and the homeowners were back to normal without interruption. [Add project details here. ]
What does it cost?
It depends on the problem and how big it is. A single lally column is a small job. A full beam replacement is bigger. The only way to know is to look. That is why the inspection is free. We give you a clear, honest price before any work starts.
Straight answers.
Is my house in danger?+
Most of the time, no, not right away. But these problems do not fix themselves and they get worse. Better to know now. The inspection is free.
Is this the same as foundation repair?+
No. We fix the wood and steel structure that holds your home up. If your issue is the foundation, we will tell you straight.
How long does a fix take?+
Many jobs are done in a day. Bigger ones take longer. We give you a real timeline up front.
Work that passes inspection.
We build to code and to spec. When your job needs an engineer, we bring in a licensed one who signs off. And when the home inspector comes, our work holds up. That is the standard we hold on every job.
