About this service
Structural Beam Repairs
An existing beam may need attention when it sags, shows damage, or needs to carry more weight after a renovation. The Beam Guy handles structural beam repairs, reinforcement, and replacement for homeowners across Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, and the Golden Horseshoe.
The right approach starts with the existing structure. We assess the beam's condition, the loads above it, and the posts, connections, and bearing points supporting it. Structural engineering determines whether the beam can be retained and repaired, strengthened for greater load capacity, or replaced with a suitable new beam.
Work may involve repairing a damaged section, adding another structural member or engineered steel reinforcement, or replacing the existing beam. We coordinate the required drawings and permits, temporary shoring, and installation so the beam and its supports work together as planned.
- Repair: Address damage to an existing beam where a suitable structural repair is possible.
- Reinforcement: Strengthen an existing beam with an additional structural member or engineered steel reinforcement, including where greater load capacity is needed.
- Replacement: Remove the existing beam and install a suitable new one when retaining it is not appropriate.
- Temporary shoring, connections, and supporting posts or footings coordinated with the engineered design.
Sagging or damage does not always call for the same fix. The repair method is matched to the beam's condition, the load it needs to carry, and the structure supporting it.
What to expect
A clear path from assessment to repair
Understand what the existing beam needs, how the work will be supported, and what to expect before repairs begin.
Assess the structure
We review the existing beam, visible damage or sagging, and its supports alongside any planned changes to the loads above.
Plan the right approach
Engineering guides the choice between repair, reinforcement, and replacement, with drawings and permits coordinated as required.
Support during the work
Temporary shoring carries the affected loads while the beam work is completed, with access and work areas planned around your home.
Complete and inspect
The beam, connections, and bearing points are completed to the engineered details and prepared for the required inspections.
