My husband and I purchased a century old Arts and Crafts fixer upper that needed repairs, but none…read moreof them structural (we thought). Turns out the previous owners had followed poor practices when finishing the basement, so when we demo'ed it to update and re-finish, we discovered that almost all of the wood support slats behind and in the walls were rotted, some of them half away. Some of the worst was the base of a wall next to the basement stairs - turns out the wall was load bearing, and its integrity had been seriously compromised by years of moisture eating away at the wood, and then further affected by our demolition. I called Great Lakes Builders on the advice of our structural engineer, and within 24 hours Martin, their project manager, was in my basement identifying assessing the wall. In addition to the rotted wood and cracks beginning to run up multiple walls (which I had observed), the ceiling beams supporting the 1st floor were actually separating from that wall - the only connection was the long nails. Because of the severity of the issue, GLB got us scheduled for the next Monday, and completed the work within just over 3 days. They were professional, knowledgeable, and courteous throughout, and explained every step of the process and why each step/action was important. Because of the obvious water incursion issues (which we are still in the process of addressing), they took especial care to make sure the new wall base was elevated and safe from any further water degradation. They also joined the rafters to the wall, got rid of an old door and replaced an unsound load bearing doorframe, and leveled out the stairs. We will absolutely be working with GLB again, and I highly encourage anyone in their service area who needs help with serious structural issues to give them a call.

Opening in his schedule, so the day after I called! What a relief. Professional and friendly , took the time to inspect the whole house, not just the one basement crack the buyers' inspector wrote up as a possible issue. Explained what everything was, how the cracks were normal, and nothing to worry about. He took what was a very stressful situation for me and calmed my nerves each step of the way. The report was emailed quickly. Photos taken, and written in a way that wasn't confusing.
