Footing or Beam Sizing

Ensuring the load calculations are right behind your project is imperative. If your remodel changes the loads in your home, you may need to re-size beams or install larger footings. Complete Building Solutions can perform an inspection, calculations, and a report depicting the correct sizings of the required structural members.
