Structural Damage Assessment
A floor that bounces, a door that sticks or a bow in a hallway may start under the house. We check beams, joists, sills, piers and posts, probe soft wood, measure deflection and photograph every finding. We explain what is cosmetic, what needs work soon and when to bring in an engineer.
