Restore the load-bearing integrity of your property with our professional structural carpentry and insurance replacement services. When a catastrophic event—such as a fallen tree, heavy snow load, or high-velocity wind—compromises your home’s framing, the damage often extends beyond the visible surface into the trusses, rafters, and floor joists.
Our expert team specializes in the technical replacement of these primary structural members, utilizing forensic evidence and Xactimate-aligned estimating to ensure your insurance settlement reflects the true cost of structural restoration. By replacing fractured timber with engineered-grade lumber and integrated hurricane-rated hardware, we eliminate structural “creep” and sagging, reinforcing your property’s skeletal frame for a lifetime of stability.
Invest in a master-level reconstruction process that prioritizes technical accuracy over cosmetic patching. We combine advanced timber-framing techniques with dedicated claim advocacy to ensure that every “hidden” failure—from cracked ridge beams to moisture-saturated sill plates—is correctly documented and restored to current building codes. Whether you are addressing storm-induced rafter failure or a total structural rebuild following a major loss, our specialized services provide the permanent, engineered solutions required to return your home to its pre-loss structural standard.
We don't just "patch" broken wood; we restore the roof’s original design capacity. Our team specializes in the technical replacement of fractured rafters and engineered trusses using industrial-grade fasteners and bracing. By providing a clean "tear-off" and replacement of compromised framing, we ensure your roof deck is perfectly level and capable of supporting maximum environmental loads without future deflection.
For joists that have been compromised but remain partially functional, we utilize "sistering" techniques—fastening a new, full-length structural member alongside the original according to IRC R502.9 standards. This technical approach doubles the load-bearing capacity and corrects the "floor bounce" or sagging caused by previous water saturation or impact damage, restoring the rigid foundation your home requires.
Insurance restoration is the critical window to bring your home up to modern safety standards. We integrate heavy-duty hurricane ties and seismic straps during the replacement of your top plates and rafters. These code-mandated upgrades, often covered under "Law and Ordinance" clauses, provide a mechanical bond between your roof and walls that was likely missing from your home’s original construction.
A roof that sags or a floor that feels “spongy” is often a sign of fractured framing that was missed during a superficial inspection. We understand that structural safety is non-negotiable; our professional carpentry replacement service provides the forensic-level investigation and heavy-duty restoration your property needs to remain stable and secure.

We use forensic documentation. By taking high-resolution photos of “fractured mats,” stress-cracks in the wood grain, and moisture-saturated sills, we prove that the material has lost its structural “memory” or load-bearing integrity. We then use Xactimate codes (like FRM RF8 or FRM J10) to show the adjuster that a surgical replacement is the only way to restore the home to its pre-loss safety standard.
Many homes were built before modern “hurricane” or “seismic” codes. If a storm forces a repair, the local building department often requires the entire section to be brought up to current code. “Law and Ordinance” coverage pays for these mandatory upgrades—like added hurricane straps or fire-rated blocking—that wouldn’t be covered under a standard “repair” claim.
It depends on the access and the extent of the damage. “Sistering” is often the preferred technical solution when a full replacement would require dismantling the entire floor or roof. However, if the wood is rotted or the “crown” is too severe, a full replacement is the only path to a level surface. We determine the best method based on a structural load-path evaluation.
Usually, yes, if it is a direct result of the covered peril (like a storm that ripped off shingles). If we find rot while replacing your siding or roof, we stop work, document the damage, and submit a “supplemental claim.” This ensures the insurance company covers the extra labor and materials (like FRM BP4T for treated bottom plates) needed to fix the structural issue correctly.
This is a critical technical distinction. “New Construction” assumes a clean site and bulk materials. “Restoration” (the setting we use) accounts for the inefficiencies of working in an existing home—navigating around personal property, localized demolition, and matching old dimensions. We ensure your estimate uses “Restoration” settings so you aren’t stuck paying the difference out of pocket.
While we can’t always fix a century of foundation settling, our replacement work ensures the new sections are perfectly plumb, level, and square. By utilizing specialized jacks and laser-leveling during the framing process, we can significantly reduce sags and “waves,” making future siding and window installations much more precise.
A professional restoration estimate should include codes like FRM RF (Rafters), FRM J (Joists), FRM SH (Sheathing), and FRM FRHS (Hurricane Straps). Each of these should have a detailed description of the lumber size (e.g., 2×10, 2×8) and the spacing (16″ or 24″ On-Center) to ensure you are getting “like kind and quality” materials.
Most residential framing replacements (like a cluster of rafters or a section of floor joists) are completed in 2 to 5 days. Since the “skeleton” of the home is exposed, we prioritize a rapid “dry-in” process, ensuring the structural work is completed and waterproofed as quickly as possible to protect the rest of your home.
