Before & After Photos

Cindy has been living in her Holland Patent, NY home for 20 years.  Recently, she has become increasingly concerned over the structural integrity of her home as the metal support beams in her garage are significantly rusted.  As her bedroom is located above the garage and consequently held up by the beams, Cindy wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and decided to contact Woodford Bros. for a free estimate for the necessary repairs.  After an initial inspection, our Design Specialist determined that the SmartJack system would be best suited to help repair the damaged beams. 

The SmartJack system provides solid support for sagging and undersized beams, restoring stability and straightness to sagging floor joists in a crawl space.  Once installed, SmartJack support posts can correct problems such as sloping and overly springy floors, interior wall cracks, and out-of-level door frames.  SmartJacks can support loads of more than 60,000 lbs and are made of galvanized steel for corrosion resistance.  With the SmartJack system in place, Cindy can have the peace of mind that her home is permanently stabilized. 

The coldest room in this 1880's built home had sloping floors. By insulating the walls and encapsulating the crawlspace, the outside air is now blocked from coming in. Using our SmartJack system we stabilized the floors. The SmartJack system is made up of glavanized steel beams and jacks. The jacks are capable of supporting up to 50,000 pounds each and are strong enough to be used to adjust and lift the floors back up.  

In Utica, NY, the homeowner faced a serious problem with a bowing wall, which, left unchecked, could have led to further damage. Notice in the before photo how the wall is unsupported. We expertly installed the PowerBrace system, ensuring the permanent safety of the foundation wall. In addition, we encapsulated the walls with CleanSpace, transforming it from a moisture-prone area into a dry, protected environment as seen in the after photo. With Woodford Bros., Inc., the focus is always on reliable, long-lasting solutions for your foundation concerns.

Before tackling this project in Utica, NY, our team faced a basement and foundation that wasn't just unstable but had been incorrectly stabilized by a previous contractor. Understandably, this left the homeowner seeking a real solution. As you can see in our before photo, the damage was significant. We introduced Carbon Armor and PowerBrace systems, designed not just for temporary fixes but for lasting security. Notice in the after photos how these products have transformed an unstable foundation into the solid base it was meant to be. Reliability and a proactive approach set us apart, ensuring each customer's home stands strong 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.
