Repairs and reinforcement

Structural Retrofit &
Reinforcement

Structures get altered, overloaded, damaged or simply built wrong. Eiffel Todary, P.E. (FL PE #102925) evaluates what is there and designs a sealed retrofit: added beams and posts, sistered framing, bracing, connections or foundation support, so the structure works again and the permit can close.

  • Roof framing that was altered or damaged
  • Added loads such as solar, a second story or heavy equipment
  • Missing or inadequate connections

Evaluation first

We begin with what is actually there. Field information we cannot verify from photos or measurements is listed on the report as unverified, and the design is subject to confirmation when the work is exposed.

How it works

Step 1: Send the address, a sketch or photos, and any plans or survey you have, or call us. Step 2: We confirm what the county needs and send a fixed written price. Step 3: Approve the quote and send the survey if one is required. Step 4: We prepare the calculations and drawings, review them and seal them. Step 5: You or your contractor submit the permit, and we answer the county's comments on our plans.
