Essential Structural Services for Historic Homes

Foundation Stabilization & Crack Repair

Older homes often suffer from settling or crumbling foundations. We address shifting slabs, bowing basement walls, and visible cracks using proven repair techniques, such as wall anchors, carbon fiber straps, and masonry rebuilding, always tailored to fit the historic nature of the property.

Beam & Joist Reinforcement

We restore structural strength by sistering aging beams, replacing rotted joists, or reinforcing support posts. When possible, we salvage or replicate original lumber dimensions and joinery to maintain the home’s historical accuracy. Every repair is performed with structural integrity and long-term durability in mind.

Load-Bearing Wall & Frame Repairs

When walls lean or sag due to years of wear, our team carefully reconstructs framing using historically compatible materials. We stabilize bearing walls, align floors, and address hidden structural failures, ensuring your home remains safe and secure for generations.

Why Choose 3D Home Improvements for Structural Repairs?

What makes your historic structural work different?

With over 9 years of hands-on experience, the team at 3D Home Improvements has repaired dozens of aging properties across Western MA and Northern CT. We don’t just fix the damage—we protect the architectural legacy by using traditional carpentry methods, reclaimed wood, and proven masonry practices whenever feasible.

Will repairs affect the home’s historic appearance?

No. Our approach preserves visible aesthetics while reinforcing the hidden structure. We take great care to match materials, replicate trim or millwork, and keep the home’s original character intact.

Do you work with engineers or preservation boards?

Yes. For complex repairs, we collaborate with structural engineers to develop certified repair plans. If your home is listed or protected by local historical societies, we work within those guidelines to maintain compliance and preserve value.

Are these repairs part of your other remodeling services?

They are. Structural work is often the foundation (literally) for our home remodeling projects. From stabilizing a historic frame before a kitchen remodel to prepping an old attic for finishing, our team can handle structural and cosmetic upgrades in one seamless process.

Is this service only for severe damage?

Not at all. Even small shifts or minor sagging can be early signs of deeper issues. We offer free inspections to identify potential problems before they escalate, saving you time, money, and stress down the line.

Our Structural Repair Process for Historic Homes

How do we start?

We begin with a full-home structural inspection, reviewing the foundation, floor systems, framing, and any areas showing signs of damage. Our team documents findings and explains your options clearly, with no pressure.

What does the repair plan include?

Depending on your home’s needs, we may recommend beam sistering, support post replacement, masonry repair, floor leveling, or wall stabilization. Each repair plan is customized, cost-transparent, and designed with long-term performance in mind.

What happens during the work?

Our skilled carpenters and masons use clean, respectful methods that prioritize the integrity of your home. Whether accessing crawl spaces or lifting floors, we work efficiently and keep the job site safe and tidy throughout the project.

What about the final result?

After completing repairs, we conduct a final walkthrough with you. You’ll see straighter floors, more secure framing, and a house that feels solid again. Plus, if the structural work is a precursor to a full restoration, we can continue with your historic home renovation plans.
