What we fix
Structural work in Wolfeboro homes.
Summer homes and old village houses bring their own repairs.
Camps
Sagging camp floors
Camps built for summer use often need stronger floor framing and new posts on real footings to become solid year round homes.
Porches
Lake porches and decks
Big porches facing the water settle and rot. We rebuild their support so they stop pulling away from the house.
Sills
Rotted sills and beams
Older village homes have sills and beams that have rotted where they meet damp foundations. We replace them.
Wolfeboro framing
Summer homes, year round problems.
Wolfeboro has been a summer place since the 1700s, and many of its older homes and camps were built for warm months. As they are turned into year round homes, their framing often needs upgrading to carry snow and daily use.
We find what is sagging or rotted, shore the house and install new sills, beams, posts or walls. If the foundation is the real problem, we fix that too.
Snow load matters in the Lakes Region. We look at roofs, porches and additions as part of the whole load path, not just the spot that sags.

FAQ
Structural repair in Wolfeboro: questions
Can my summer camp be made solid enough for winter?
Often, yes. Strengthening floor framing, posts and roof support is a common part of converting a camp. We look at the whole structure first.
My lake porch is pulling away from the house. Why?
Usually its footings are too shallow and have settled or heaved. We rebuild the support on proper footings.
Do I need an engineer?
Some repairs need engineered plans and some do not. We will tell you if yours does.
Can you fix the foundation too?
Yes. Foundations and lifting are part of our work, so both can be handled together.
