Pier and Beam – Raising Galveston: Restoring Foundations, Elevating Homes

Pier and Beam Foundation Restoration Galveston

In picturesque Galveston, this charming older home has been gradually settling over the years—a common issue in Galveston’s coastal soil. To avoid bigger problems during their planned remodel, the new homeowners enlisted Generocity Foundation Repair Inc. for their pier and beam foundation restoration. Our team carefully assessed the property and found areas where the support beams and joists had weakened over time. 

Our advice to homeowners is steadfast: prioritize addressing foundation issues before any other renovations. Whether it’s installing a new roof, upgrading windows and doors, laying new flooring, or renovating the kitchen, ensuring a solid foundation beforehand prevents potential complications and costly repairs down the road.

This home’s situation is not unusual for Galveston. Many older properties face similar challenges due to the area’s clay-heavy soil, seasonal moisture changes, and the impact of coastal weather. Homes with pier and beam foundations are particularly susceptible because multiple support points and elevated structures can shift independently. 

If you notice sagging floors, sticking doors, or cracked walls in your home, it may be time for a professional inspection. Generocity Foundation Repair Inc. specializes in pier and beam foundation restoration throughout Galveston and the surrounding areas, helping homeowners stabilize their properties and prevent long-term damage. Contact Generocity Foundation Repair Inc. today to schedule your free consultation.
