Structural Repairs for Philadelphia Homes & Rowhomes
Philadelphia's housing stock includes many older rowhomes and masonry buildings that have been renovated, modified, and repaired multiple times over their lifespan. Structural problems may involve original framing, masonry walls, aging materials, water damage, or alterations made by previous owners.
Our approach begins with understanding the existing conditions of the property before determining the appropriate scope of repair.

When Is a Structural Engineer Needed?
Some structural repairs may require evaluation, drawings, calculations, or specifications from a licensed structural engineer. This can depend on the type of damage, the proposed repair, permitting requirements, and the structural components involved.
When engineering is required, the repair work should follow the applicable plans and specifications rather than relying on guesswork.
