Michigan's freeze-thaw cycles wreak havoc on structural steel. We reinforce load-bearing beams, basement supports, and garage frameworks to prevent costly damage from seasonal ground movement.
Our certified welders specialize in historic home retrofits—adding steel supports to aging brick Colonials in Indian Village or Palmer Woods without compromising their character. For newer suburban builds in Rochester Hills, we install hurricane ties and seismic bracing that exceed Michigan code.
Every structural weld undergoes ultrasonic testing before we call it complete. We document all work with detailed schematics for future reference.
