Structural Beams & Purlins Repaired & Reinstalled in NH

Fixing sagging beams. Re-securing loose purlins. Ensuring your ceiling looks great and is safe.  Sometimes beams shift, sag, or become uneven. Purlins (those supporting roof/ceiling joists) may loosen over time or due to structural changes. These issues can lead to cracks in plaster, unsafe joists, or just unsightly ceilings. You don’t have to live with uneven walls, cracks, or bouncing ceilings. We understand — and we fix it. At times, we encounter structural issues with wonky beams and loose purlins. You too? We’ve got you covered! We will jack up and support the beams and resecure the purlins so your ceiling will not only have the look you desire but will be safe and secure as well.

Our Approach to Beams & Purlins

  • Assessment & Diagnosis
    We begin by carefully inspecting the existing beams and purlins. We look for sagging, rot, stress cracks, wood warpage, structural movement, and more.
  • Temporary Shoring & Jacks
    Before making adjustments, we secure the structure so nothing shifts or further damages while work is ongoing.
  • Re-leveling & Supporting Beams
    We’ll jack up and stabilize beams to restore them to proper alignment.
  • Re-secure & Reinforce Purlins
    Loose purlins are re-fastened or replaced. Additional strapping or reinforcement is added as needed to ensure long-term stability.
  • Finish Work & Integration
    Once structure is sound, we handle associated plaster or finish work so the transition is seamless and aesthetic.

Common Questions / FAQs

Will lifting a beam damage my plaster or ceiling finish?

We take precautions (shoring, phased approach) and then repair or blend any minor finish work needed.

Can all purlins be re-secured, or do some need replacement?

We evaluate on a case-by-case basis. If a purlin is too deteriorated, we’ll recommend replacement or reinforcement.

How long will the job take?

It depends on scope and access. Small jobs may take a day or two. Larger structural work with finishes could take longer. We’ll estimate with you upfront.

Is this insured and permitted work?

Yes. We operate with the proper insurances and follow local building codes. If permits are needed, we can assist.
