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>

Can you fix water-damaged baseboards?

• <div><p>Whether or not you can fix water-damaged baseboards depends on the extent of the damage and the baseboard material. Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) baseboards cannot be repaired once severely water-damaged—you’ll need to replace the damaged sections with new baseboards. Wood baseboards may be repaired if the water damage is minimal and only affects a small portion of the baseboard.</p></div>

Is it safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam?

• <div><p>It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.</p></div>

How much bowing in a wall is acceptable?

• <div><p>Any bowing in a basement wall signals an issue that needs to be addressed. However, bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches. That’s why it’s essential to call a pro as soon as you notice the bowing wall. The sooner you address the problem, the easier (and less expensive) it will be to repair.</p></div>

My deck needed major repair, and with his expertise, the home doctor rebuilt a safer and more beautiful deck. He was a pleasure to work with and I will be calling him in the future.

This is the second wall we've had bell brothers build. This one turned out to be more complicated than it appeared at first glance. They did a great job,and the new block wall looks fantastic . Our neighbors had them repair a stone wall. They also did a great job with that
