Older buildings, renovations and added loads can push structures past their capacity. Homex Builders reinforces structural elements for homes and buildings across the Bronx, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island and New Jersey.
Based on engineering recommendations, we sister and add joists, install beams and posts, reinforce walls and connections, and strengthen foundations so the structure safely carries its loads.

Structural reinforcement may include:
Joist Reinforcement
Sistering, blocking and adding joists to stiffen floors.
Beams & Posts
Adding beams and posts to reduce spans and support loads.
Connection Upgrades
Strengthening connections, anchors and bearing points.
Reinforcement is often needed when adding heavy finishes, kitchens or bathrooms to older floors.
