Tier B · 26 towns covered
Soft or bouncy floors, sagging in the middle of a room. Joists, beams, girders, and posts that need sistering or replacing.
Homeowners here run into this regularly, and the fix depends heavily on what's actually causing it.
Signs that bring this up
- A noticeable dip toward the middle of a room
- A floor that flexes or bounces when you walk across it
- Visible sagging or dark staining on a beam or joist
- Doors that have started sticking in their frames
How crews normally tackle it
The usual work is sistering new lumber alongside damaged joists, replacing girders, and resetting or adding support posts on proper footings. Rot generally traces back to a moisture problem that needs solving at the same time.
$3,000 – $15,000 — typical range, not a quote. What your home needs can only be settled by a registered contractor who comes out and looks at it.
