Sill Plate and Beam Repair
The sill plate and main beams carry the structure. When they rot, crush or crack, the floor above feels it. We support the structure, replace the damaged members with pressure-treated lumber and secure them to the foundation with proper anchors, then seal the area to protect the new wood.
