Floor Joist Repair
Floor joist repair restores structural strength where sagging, bouncy, or damaged floors create problems with support. Ridgeline Western Construction identifies the cause—rot, pest damage, or over-spanning—then repairs or replaces the affected joists to restore level, solid floors. Our process involves targeted demolition, assessment of adjoining framing, and framing with dimensional lumber and connectors that meet current code. You get one contractor managing the full repair and all follow-on trades under a single contract.
Why Choose Ridgeline Western Construction for Floor Joist Repair
Floors that sag visibly, slope to one side, or bounce when crossed usually point to underlying issues with floor joists. Typical failures include rot from leaks, termite or pest damage, undersized or over-spanned joists, and historic notching for pipes or wires. Doors that no longer close, squeaky floorboards, and diagonal cracks at baseboards are all surface clues.
Ridgeline Western Construction begins by exposing the compromised area and checking adjoining framing for related damage. Where only a portion of a joist is affected, we may install sistered lumber or structural steel for reinforcement. If damage is widespread or the original span is out of code, we replace full joists and update connections with Simpson Strong-Tie hardware. All new lumber matches the engineered depth and species required for the span and floor load. The work closes with subfloor patching and reset finishes.
After all repair phases are complete, we coordinate the building department inspection so the work is permitted and documented. At the end of the project, you have level, solid floors and a certifiable framing repair that meets code. Any trade repairs needed—drywall, paint, baseboards—are supervised and closed under the same contract.
Code-Compliant Structural Repair
We frame repairs with new dimensional lumber or engineered wood, using proper hangers, bolts, and metal connectors where needed. Connections and spans are brought up to current code, not just patched to match the old construction. This approach helps the repair meet current safety, load, and inspection requirements.
Single-Contract Project Management
Ridgeline Western Construction manages every step of the repair, from demolition through final interior patching. We schedule and supervise any needed subs—such as drywall, flooring, or finish carpentry—so the entire process stays organized under one contract. This keeps timelines clear and closes out your project with full permit documentation.
Framing-Level Damage Assessment
Ridgeline Western Construction’s process begins with exposing the framing to see exactly which joists are failing and why. This reveals hidden rot, pest tunnels, or overstressed wood that surface inspection misses. By checking span charts and connections, we define if joists can be repaired or need replacement, ensuring repairs address both the visible and underlying cause.

House Framing
House framing sets the foundation for every wall, floor, and roof in a building. Ridgeline Western Construction handles all phases of framing, from initial layout through sheathing and hardware installation. We work directly from engineered plans, build with both dimensional and engineered lumber, and deliver framing that is ready for inspection and the trades that follow.
Home Additions
A home addition is a major structural project, not just an expansion of space. Ridgeline Western Construction manages every phase, from structural planning and engineering to permits, framing, finishing, and inspections. One contract covers all trades—the framing and carpentry are always self-performed, and every specialist is scheduled and supervised to keep the work moving as a single project. You get a finished addition designed to meet code, with a permit record that documents every inspection step.
Structural Repairs
Structural repairs address failures in a building’s framing, supports, or load paths that compromise stability or safety. Ridgeline Western Construction assesses visible symptoms — such as cracks in walls, sloping floors, or sticking doors — and traces them to structural causes like deteriorated joists, broken beams, or damaged shear walls. We deliver repairs from assessment through city inspection, rebuilding compromised structure and managing every required trade. You get one contractor who diagnoses, repairs, and sees the project to completion with a permit record that clears.

What Our Clients Say about us..
"I connected with Steven Moreno at Ridgeline Western Construction about a year ago when I was scoping out a project. Steven’s knowledge blew me away from framing, additions, new construction, materials, etc. He broke everything down like it was nothing & in a way that I actually could understand. The company is based out of Fontana and covers a huge range from San Bernardino and Riverside all the way through Los Angeles and Orange County. So if you’re in that area and need a general contractor that you can rely on then I would highly recommend Ridgeline Western Construction to get the job done right."
