When Your Home Has a Structural Problem, You Need Someone Who Knows How to Solve It.

COMPLEX STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS REQUIRE MORE THAN A TYPICAL GENERAL CONTRACTOR.


We've worked alongside engineers & special inspectors for years to turn complex structural solutions into real-world repairs—often when the project is too complicated for a typical remodeling contractor.


From shoring and column replacement to major beam and glulam repairs, hillside homes, and challenging structural conditions, Cascade NW Construction brings the construction knowledge needed to safely execute the solution.


Talk to us about your structural issue

The Worst Part Is Often Not Knowing What You're Dealing With.

You may have discovered something that doesn't look right:

A sagging beam.

A cracked column.

Rot around a structural connection.

Movement in the structure.

A deteriorated support.

A compromised crawlspace.

Water damage that has gone much deeper than expected.

An existing structure needs to be modified to accommodate a major remodel or addition.

You have a complicated repair that other contractors aren't comfortable taking on.

Or perhaps a structural engineer has designed a repair, but you need a contractor who understands how to actually execute it.


You don't necessarily need to know exactly what the solution is before you call us. That's part of what we help with.


We'll look at the situation, help you understand what we're seeing, coordinate with the appropriate professionals when needed, and determine what it will take to move from

problem → plan → repair.


Some problems can't be solved with a typical remodeling playbook. These aren't ordinary remodeling problems. Not the types of problems to do your bests guess with. And that's where our decades of structural repair experience matters.


We have worked on projects where the solution required much more than removing damaged material and replacing it.


Hillside Homes

We've worked on homes built into challenging terrain where structural components carry enormous loads and access can make the work even more complicated.


Major Glulam Replacement

We've replaced large structural glulam beams supporting hillside homes—carefully coordinating the work so the existing structure could be supported while the permanent structural repair was completed.


Shoring & Temporary Support

Sometimes the first step isn't rebuilding.

It's figuring out how to safely hold the building up while the repair happens.

We've performed shoring and temporary structural support beneath homes where existing structural components needed repair or replacement.


Column Repair & Replacement

Whether a column has deteriorated from moisture, rot, age, or other damage, the solution may require temporarily supporting the structure, removing the compromised component, and installing a properly engineered replacement.


Steeples, Bridges & Specialty Structural Repairs

We've also taken on unusual structural challenges—including repairs to church steeples where conventional residential construction experience simply isn't enough.


Engineer Designs It. We Know How to Build It.

We don't replace the engineer—and we don't pretend to be one.


We work alongside engineers to take an engineered solution and figure out how to safely and practically build it in the real world.



That may mean coordinating structural plans, developing a sequence of work, determining how the existing structure will be supported during construction, solving access challenges, protecting occupied spaces, and adapting the construction process to the realities we uncover once the building is opened up.


Engineering tells us what needs to happen.

Our job is figuring out how to make it happen.

That's where construction experience matters.
