Should I repair or replace wood following termite damage?

• <div><p>Not all wood that’s been softened by termites needs to be replaced. You may be able to salvage wood using a wood hardener instead of replacing beams. However, you’ll need to hire a structural engineer to assess the damage and the overall stability of the wood before making a replacement plan.</p></div>

How do I replace a rotted support beam?

• <div><p>Call a foundation repair pro to replace a rotted support beam. Your contractor will likely install temporary support to the area while replacing the beam with new wood or steel. Load-bearing elements of your home—such as the horizontal beams that run along your floors, walls, roof, and ceilings—should be inspected by a trained structural engineer. Call these experts the moment you detect rot, water damage, or foundation issues in your home. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if a support beam needs replacing?

• <div><p>The best way to know if your beams still provide adequate support is to consult a structural engineer. Structural beams can crack and even sag over time but may still be structurally sound. Keep an eye out for signs of issues in your home, such as sagging floors or ceilings, major cracks in your ceiling and walls, or signs of water damage around a weight-bearing wall.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of structural damage?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/signs-of-structural-damage.htm">Signs of structural damage</a> include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. </p></div>

Q: How do I know if cracks are structural?

• <div><p>The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.</p></div>

Tim Myers did a fantastic job he had to do alot more to the front door opening to make the screen door fit right. And I'm so glad he did it look great! Tim Myers is a carpenter that takes pride in his work and it shows.

They did an excellent job! If anything, this project was overbuilt. This is the 3rd project that the Shirley brothers have done for me and they do excellent work. I had to wait in line to get them for this last project, but it was definitely worth it.

The project went very well, and we are very pleased with the final product. A large master bathroom and office were added on to the master bedroom. The current master bath was flipped around, so there was a second bathroom for the children. Kitchen cabinets were repainted in the process as well....

I do believe his hourly or by the job rate is expensive. Unfortunately, carpenters with ability are almost nonexistent in this area today. His work is excellent. I had looked for a qualified person for three years. But I must say in this area it is by word of mouth that service people are...
