Older homes in Washougal
In Washougal's older homes, floors that have been out of level for many years may not come all the way back without stressing plaster, trim and doors. We measure first, show you where and how much the floor has dropped, and set a clear target. Often the most important outcome is stopping further movement with proper supports.
How we level
We repair or add posts, piers and beams at the right points and adjust carefully to improve the floor where the framing allows. If the perimeter foundation is involved, see foundation repairs in Washougal.
Insulation comes down, goes back up
Reaching beams and joists often means taking down floor insulation. We'll include reinstalling or replacing it — worth doing well in a town where winter Gorge winds make cold floors noticeable. See insulation in Washougal.
