Discover how Hale Built transformed a charming but unstable cottage floor into a safe, sturdy, and comfortable foundation—preserving its historic appeal while enhancing its durability!
This cozy cottage had undeniable charm, but its original floor system had weakened over time. Uneven floors and structural concerns made it clear that reinforcement was necessary to ensure safety and long-term stability.
During Cottage Floor Reinforcement
Our team at Hale Built carefully removed the existing wood flooring on the first floor, exposing the underlying structure. We doubled all floor joists and installed double mid-span blocking to fortify the system—strengthening the foundation without compromising the home’s vintage aesthetic.
After Cottage Floor Reinforcement
With the newly reinforced floor system, the cottage now boasts a safe, sturdy, and level foundation. The homeowners can enjoy their space worry-free, knowing their home’s structural integrity is secured for years to come!
