Structural Excellence Since 1946
This complicated home was unconventionally framed with a unique balloon-framed element and a block-reinforced joist bay. The GC needed to add a wine cellar and all three stories had severe rot in the outer stud walls, sills, and joists. There was a false exterior wall to support the stucco, making maintaining bearing challenging. The team designed a shoring method whereby the old masonry could be removed, the timber portions repaired and enhanced, and the foundation masons could work comfortably in amongst the shoring equipment.
