The structure of a building is what keeps it standing for years to come. A well-thought-out construction will withstand strong winds, rain, earthquakes, and the weight of the house and the people living in it. At Alpha Structural, Inc., we help our Southern California area neighbors plan for and execute structural repairs well enough to strengthen their property and withstand the elements for years to come.
Structural framing repair is the process of fixing or strengthening the load-bearing parts of a building's framing system. These parts hold up the building's weight and move it to the foundation. Most of the time, the framing system is made up of beams, columns, and joists made of wood or steel that are connected to form a structural framework.
If your home is several decades old, it may need structural repairs for a number of reasons. An expert can assess your building thoroughly to see if any weak spots need to be shored up. Some of the following issues may necessitate structural repairs:
Because structural repairs involve working with a building's most fundamental components, they call for a unique set of skills and knowledge. The safety of your building could be jeopardized if it were worked on by somebody not trained in structural engineering. Alpha Structural Inc. provides you with high-quality, high-value engineering. Our assessors plan and design the repair so that it's the most affordable alternative. Our engineers implement the plan to a T. After the structural modifications are performed, a professional will check to see that your building is safe to occupy.
Structural framing repair may be needed if the framing system has been damaged or compromised. This usually happens when the foundation shifts, there is water damage, or there are termites. Some common types of repair for structural framing are:
If water or pests (like termites) have damaged the structural framing system, individual beams or joists may need to be replaced to make the system whole again.
The framing system can sometimes be reinforced with extra materials, like steel beams or brackets, to give it more support and stop the damage from happening again.
If the framing system has been damaged by the settling or shifting of the foundation, the foundation may need to be leveled and stabilized to keep the framing system from being damaged even more.
The following list represents just some of the types of foundation repair we specialize in:

Only a qualified structural engineer can tell the extent of the damage to your home, but there are signs that you need repairs. Keep an eye on cracks in the wall and ceiling. Breaks in the brick or chimney are a telltale sign, as well as uneven gaps in windows and doors. Sagging or bulging floors or roofs could also indicate that you need repairs. When in doubt, it's better to be safe than sorry. Call us for an inspection and quote.
The roof, the foundation, the floors, the permanent outer walls, and the support columns are all examples of structural components that may need maintenance or replacement as part of a building's overall structural integrity. Common structural repairs include replacing damaged concrete, steel, or wood in the form of GLB (glulam beam), purlin & sub-purlin, truss, and column repairs.
