Before & After Photos

Before, a homeowner in Sackets Harbor, NY faced the distress of a crumbling basement wall and wet floors, a challenge no one should have to worry about. Fortunately, they reached out to us at Woodford Bros. for help. As you can see in the after photo, we brought stability and dryness back to their space by installing EverBrace, a reliable, long-lasting solution. Notice in the after photo how we transformed their basement into a secure and structurally sound part of their home.

This early 20th century home was built with hand hewn beams and joists on a stacked stone foundation. The flooring system was held up with log posts. Over the course of the last century the foundation stayed in tact with some minor upkeep. The problem that was discovered by the home's newest owner was that some of the beams, posts and joists had succumb to dry rot. Attempts by other contractors to scab some of the troubled joists to add support, unfortunately, left some underlying issues unaddressed. One of the most affected components of the flooring system was the hand hewn rim joist. It was rotted enough to poke a pencil through with minimal force. Understandably, this was quite troubling for the home owner that had plans to make this beautiful house in Lee Center her new forever home.  Her internet search for a permanent solution led her to Woodford Brothers. Her free estimate was scheduled. One of our expert Design Specialists carefully inspected the basement and immediately created, and presented, options to suit her needs and budget. One of our highly experienced and talented crews helped this home owner remain at ease while major work was done to her beloved home. When the work was complete, she was left with a stable flooring system and peace of mind knowing that she could enjoy a lifetime free of worry about the structural integrity of her forever home. 

In Dexter, NY, a homeowner faced a challenge with their 100-year-old home - an unlevel crawl space that was causing issues with their entire home. As you can see in the before photo, the space was in dire need of support. That's when we stepped in. Our expert team installed the SmartJack system, a robust and reliable solution. Notice in the after photo how the SmartJack system permanently stabilized the crawl space, providing peace of mind and reinforcing the home's integrity for years to come. 

This home in Clayville, NY had a couple of cinderblock columns that had shifted and failed causing the floors inside the home to be uneven and sloping. The door always wasn't operating correctly. Woodford Brothers lifted everything back into place and installed some 6x6 posts with a base below frost and Y-Bracing.
