David's Mannsville, NY home was right all along the water. The Jefferson county home was right on the water. The home even had a unique crawl space made to allow the water to come and go with the waves. But, Dave wanted to insulate the crawl space. The main problem was getting access. Our crews installed a turtle door. The door will give access to the crawl space and keep the critters out. Now Dave loves showing off the crawl space with our having to remove blocks.

Beth had resided in her residence located in Albion, New York, for a span of 15 years, before she began to observe signs of deterioration and corrosion in the support beams of her home. Beth's introduction to Woodford Bros occurred during her visit to a home show held at Turning Stone, where she expressed interest in arranging a complimentary estimate appointment. Following an initial inspection conducted by our expert team, it was determined that the optimal solution for addressing the weakened support beams in Beth's residence would be the installation of our SmartJack system.
The SmartJack system, resting upon an engineered fill, consists of galvanized steel tubes strategically designed to evenly distribute the weight and load-bearing capacity of the beams, columns, and flooring above them. This innovative solution provides the essential support required to maintain the structural integrity and alignment of the home.
Through the collaborative efforts of Beth and the Woodford Bros team, along with the successful installation of our SmartJack system, Beth's concerns were effectively alleviated, and her residence was securely stabilized for the long term.
Wow now this is a before and after... and this really only scratches the surface of what we did for this foundation to last for years to come.
Adding fireplaces and large furniture can sometimes be a problem for floors with no support. This home in Batavia, NY need some Woodford love.
The basement of an Albion, NY home built in 1887 was full of jack posts that were failing. The beams were undersized, the bases of the posts were settling and there simply was not enough reliable support for the flooring system. Our expert Design Specialist designed a way to apply our smart Jack system to bring peace of mind to the home owner. Now the post and beams responsible for carrying the weight of the home will last under warranty since they are engineered to hold the weight but they are galvanized steel so they won't rust or bend like the old posts and beams.
