Albany, CA is a small, but a lively community that is situated on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay and has some beautiful homes that have a special architectural design. Nevertheless, as with most Bay Area communities, residential housing in Albany has certain structural issues in consideration of the diverse conditions of the soil, humidity, and the occurrence of seismic events in the region. It is important to keep the structure of your house intact so that the house can be safe, functional and valuable.
No matter what is causing the moisture damages to the structural supports, whether you are expanding your home or just need some expert consultation on how to replace the structural structures, our team is available to offer you effective solutions to your needs. Our priority is to re-establish stability and safety of your property in order to keep it safe even in the coming years.

One of the most common factors that can lead to structural damage include moisture especially in geographical locations such as Albany whereby the amount of humidity and seasonal rainfall varies. Dampness may over time percolate into structural elements that are important like wooden beams, floor joists, and foundations. This continuous exposure undermines and degrades these materials, causing rotting, instability and further damage may occur. When not fixed, moisture damage may affect the stability of your entire house leading to an expensive cost of repairs.
The impact of moisture on the structural supports may be substantial. Beams and floor joists lose strength due to wood rot brought about by long exposure to moisture and this lowers the structural strength of the home. The other typical outcome is foundation cracks, whereby water penetration causes the foundation to erode leaving it unstable to an extent of having uneven floors or moving walls. Moreover, the dampness will allow growth of molds and mildew which not only destroy engineering structures, but also create deadly health hazards to your family. We are experts in detecting and correcting the moisture damage to make sure your house is safe.
Floor joists form a part of the construction of the floors in your home and changing them may be hard particularly when the flooring is in good condition and you do not want to tear it. When the floors in the house are of hardwood, tile, or other delicate materials, it is important to replace the damaged joists without affecting the current flooring to prevent the additional expenditure and unnecessary repairs.
The method to replace floor joists without disrupting the flooring, is a cautious and step by step method:

Adding on to your home is a thrilling method of providing more space and functionality to your home, although it can be a major structural project that would provide the necessary safety and stability to the new layout. Structural replacement can be required whether it is to add a room, or to add on to your foundation, or to reinforce support beams to take up the extra weight. One should evaluate and strengthen the current structure in order to be able to support the new changes adequately and be stable.
Some of the common structural replacement requirements on the course of expanding a home are foundation expansion whereby the foundation is extended to accommodate the new parts of the home and support beam reinforcement whereby the new structure is supported effectively. The load bearing wall alterations might also be necessary to eliminate or to exclude the walls which will result in the open spaces but it will not harm the structure.

We were very happy with the results of our inspection with Ryan! He explained the settling in homes and what things we should look for, and was very professional, friendly, and efficient. Thanks!
Had a great experience working with Kyndell from Golden Bay Foundation Builders. I recently purchased the home and was looking for help with earthquake retrofitting options. He inspected my foundation carefully and determined that past bolting was likely adequate. He had suggestions about monitoring the foundation. He was very thoughtful and detailed in his approach, and worked to determine what was best for the home. In this case, that meant no need for additional work now. But if I need any additional assistance in the future, will be calling him again.
