Sagging floors, bouncy hallways, and doors that drift out of square trace back to the framing underneath. Framing repair strengthens the posts, beams, and girders that carry your home.
A local specialist will evaluate your foundation, walk you through the findings, and send a clear estimate. No cost, no pressure.
Your home's framing is its skeleton: the posts, beams, and girders under the floor that carry the weight of everything above. When part of that skeleton weakens, the house tells you in plain language. Floors sag toward the middle of a room or bounce underfoot. Doors drift out of square. Gaps open between the floor and the baseboards. The usual causes in this region are moisture, which rots wood posts and beams from the ground up, undersized or aging members that were never meant to carry today's loads, and soil movement, because clay soil acts like a sponge, swelling when wet and shrinking when dry, and the supports under the framing ride that movement until something gives.
Dalinghaus Foundation Repair repairs framing at the structural level. Depending on what the evaluation finds, that can mean sagging floor repair with steel jacks that lift girders back toward level in careful increments, replacing failed posts and piers with new supports on proper footings, or replacing a beam or girder that moisture or load has taken past the point of repair, using heavy duty steel jacks at the load points that need it most. Where existing members can be strengthened rather than replaced, we strengthen them, because the honest fix is not always the biggest one. The full set of framing repair methods is listed on its own page, and the symptoms that send people looking for them are on the framing repair problem signs page.
Every project starts with a free evaluation. A specialist gets under the house, documents the condition of every post, beam, and girder in the affected area, measures your floor elevations, and gives you the findings in writing whether or not you hire us. Since brothers Brian and Brad Dalinghaus founded the company in 2011, Dalinghaus has completed more than 2,000 projects across California, Arizona, and Nevada. If your floors are sagging, bouncing, or sloping, schedule your free evaluation and find out exactly which piece of the skeleton needs help.

Dalinghaus installed the helical pile foundation and erected the structure for a solar canopy over a staff parking lot in Southern California, working in four phases so the lot stayed open.
Show project
The back of an Irvine home had settled about 3 inches over roughly ten years. Ten helical piers went in over two days, and a 30 minute lift brought the back half of the home up 3 inches.
Show project
A hillside home in Rancho Palos Verdes split in half as the ground slid toward the slope. Dalinghaus installed helical piers about 30 feet down to competent strata or bedrock beneath it.
Show project
A beachside home in Rancho Palos Verdes settled 16 inches in a couple of months. Steel piers were driven to load bearing soil or bedrock at each excavated location, with a lift planned once they were in.
Show project
A San Clemente hillside home had settled about 2 inches and was moving toward the slope behind it. Vertical helical piers and helical tieback anchors stabilized the home and recovered part of the drop.
Show project
Two helical deck piers let a San Clemente hillside deck grow by about 12 feet, at a home Dalinghaus had lifted about 16 inches earlier.

The floors tell you. Sagging toward the middle of a room, bouncing underfoot, visible slope, doors going out of square, and gaps at baseboards all point to weakened framing below. A foundation problem can cause similar symptoms, which is why our evaluation measures floor elevations and inspects the framing itself, so the repair targets the right cause.
