Before & After

Rotting joist repair in Hagerstown, Maryland

In Hagerstown, Maryland, a homeowner experienced a problem more common than most people realize. After recently upgrading his kitchen and installing heavier appliances, including a brand new stove and large refrigerator/freezer combo, the added weight caused the floor joists beneath them to crack, as seen in the before photo.

Mark, the homeowner, knew he needed the issue addressed properly and wanted a permanent solution done the right way. Through networking, he already knew Adam and trusted him to evaluate the home. After completing a comprehensive inspection, Adam determined the home needed 2 SmartJack XLs along with a supplemental beam to properly stabilize the floors above.

Gustavo and his crew completed the installation with care and professionalism, leaving the home stabilized and cleaned up thoroughly afterward - as seen in the after photo.
