Expert Structural Repairs
Structural issues are an inevitable part of homeownership, whether due to accidents, pests, rot, or simply the desire to alter your home’s layout. These repairs are often complex and require more than just cosmetic fixes. Deaton Builders Inc. specializes in structural repairs that blend seamlessly with your home’s existing structure while preserving its integrity. From replacing damaged framing to comprehensive renovations, we assess the scope of work and provide solutions that maintain the strength and stability of your home. Let us restore your property with expert care and precision.
Load Bearing Wall Repair
Repairing load-bearing exterior walls is a complex task that becomes more challenging with additional stories. These walls are crucial to your home’s structural integrity, supporting the floors and roof above. Damage requires immediate expert attention to ensure safety and stability. At Deaton Builders Inc., we have the experience and skill to assess, shore up, and repair these critical structures, preserving your home’s strength for years to come.
Floor Framing Repair
Over time, areas like laundry rooms, bathrooms, and homes with poorly vented crawl spaces are especially vulnerable to floor framing issues. Moisture buildup can lead to mildew and rot, compromising the integrity of floor joists and necessitating expensive repairs. When the damage involves a floor supporting a load-bearing wall, the stakes are even higher, potentially leading to severe and costly damage to both ceilings and walls. Deaton Builders Inc. specializes in identifying and repairing these critical issues, ensuring your home remains safe and sound.
Ceiling vs. Roof Framing Repair
Undetected plumbing leaks from second-floor bathrooms are a leading cause of ceiling damage, often weakening ceiling joists over time. Another frequent issue is poor chimney flashing, which can allow water to seep in unnoticed for years, causing significant decay and structural damage. Deaton Builders Inc. is experienced in addressing these hidden problems, ensuring that both your ceiling and roof framing remain solid and secure.
Stair Framing Repair
Exterior wood stairways are particularly vulnerable to weathering and wear over time, leading to the inevitable need for repairs. While individual steps or handrails can be easily replaced, the stringers—the structural supports of the staircase—require more careful attention. When a stringer begins to crack or weaken, it can often be reinforced by laminating a sturdier board to it. In some cases, additional support might be necessary to ensure the staircase remains safe and durable. Deaton Builders Inc. is equipped to handle these repairs, restoring your stairway's integrity and longevity.
Door Framing Repair
Entrance door frames are highly vulnerable to water damage, making them one of the most frequently affected areas in a home. Over time, water can seep beneath the casing, leading to rot in the framing. If left unaddressed, this damage can cause the bottom wall framing to detach, resulting in the wall shifting whenever the door is opened or closed. Immediate repair is crucial to prevent further structural issues. Deaton Builders Inc. specializes in restoring door frames, ensuring they are secure, functional, and resistant to future water damage.
Framing Repair Issue: Water Damage vs. Rot vs. Broken Framing
When it comes to framing repair, the complexity can vary significantly based on the type of damage. Broken framing is generally straightforward to fix since the damage is usually localized and easy to identify. However, water damage presents a greater challenge, as the full extent of the problem is often hidden and requires thorough investigation to uncover. Rotted framing is the most insidious issue, often accompanied by termite infestation, which can cause extensive damage quickly and out of sight, behind walls and siding.
Because framing is a critical structural component, it’s essential to address any damage as soon as it’s detected. Delaying repairs can lead to more costly fixes down the line, and if safety is compromised, it could result in legal issues. Deaton Builders Inc. has the expertise to properly assess and repair any framing issues. Our team includes licensed general contractors and, when necessary, professional engineers to ensure that repairs are done to the highest standard. We’ll even provide a letter of inspection and repairs for your records or real estate needs.
