How We Work

We follow a clear, predictable process. From your first call through final inspection, you'll know exactly what's coming next.

Site Assessment

We inspect your structure, measure carefully, and identify load points. This gives us a clear foundation for planning.

Permitting & Planning

We handle Portland code compliance and permitting. Our plans are engineered and ready for inspection.

Preparation & Demo

We prep the work area, remove old elements as needed, and shore up temporary supports for safety.

Installation & Build

Posts and beams are positioned, secured, and verified for square and level. We photograph each stage.

Finishing & Inspection

We remove temporary bracing, finish exposed wood, and pass building inspections. Your structure is ready.

You'll always know what's happening next—and when.

Structural Assessment First

Every post and beam job starts with a detailed inspection. We measure load paths, check existing framing, and evaluate Portland building codes and seismic requirements specific to your home's age and location.

This assessment prevents surprises later. If your foundation needs upgrades or your walls need reinforcement, we identify it upfront and include it in our plan.

Custom Design for Your Space

Post and beam layouts are never one-size-fits-all. We custom-design your frame to match your ceiling heights, floor plan, and structural goals—whether you're adding an open kitchen in Southwest Hills or creating a bright studio space in Buckman.

Our designs are engineered, permitted, and built to last. You get both beauty and structural integrity.

Our Services

Structural timber framing that expands your space and strengthens your home.

Post and Beam Installation

We install load-bearing posts and beams to open up interiors or reinforce aging structures. Common in older Portland homes, this method provides flexible floor plans without interior walls.

Posts are positioned on solid footings, beams are sized and secured per code, and every connection is verified before final inspection.

Foundation Repair and Seismic Retrofit

Portland's older homes often need foundation reinforcement. We repair cracked footings, strengthen connections between house and foundation, and add seismic bracing where required by code.

Work is tied to your post-and-beam project or done independently. Every repair is permitted and inspected.

Structural Support for Open Concept Spaces

Want to remove a wall for a larger kitchen or living area? We calculate load, size beams correctly, and install permanent support. This keeps your ceiling up and your renovation on budget.

Common in renovations across Northeast Portland and East County projects, these installations unlock open-plan living without surprises.

Why It Matters

Structural work is not a detail—it's the foundation of safe, comfortable living.

Proper Installation Prevents Costly Problems

Posts and beams installed incorrectly can sag, crack, or shift over time. In Portland's damp climate, poor construction accelerates wood decay and structural failure. We size beams for actual loads, anchor posts to solid footings, and use durable materials built to last decades.

This prevents ceiling sag, wall cracks, and emergency repairs down the road.

Portland homes built before 1980 often lack proper seismic bracing. Our retrofit work protects against earthquake damage and meets current code.

Permitted Work You Can Trust

Every post and beam installation we do is permitted with the City of Portland, engineered by licensed structural designers, and inspected at key stages. You get a paper trail and peace of mind.

No shortcuts, no unpermitted work, no surprises at final inspection.
