A little look at what Matt has been working on in Merrimack, NH!

While our primary focus is structural framing repairs and smaller-scale projects, we do selectively take on larger framing jobs when they’re a good fit.

This garage and living space addition is one of those projects! The roof framing is now taking shape, with plenty of detailed work going into every stage.

Matt recently completed ASCE’s Strengthening Wood Beams and Joists continuing education course.

The course focused on evaluating and strengthening existing wood framing, including beams and floor joists—areas that directly relate to the structural repair work we perform in older homes.

We continue to invest in education that expands our knowledge of existing structures, repair methods, and proper load-supporting framing practices.

Structural Sill Plate Replacement

Recently completed a structural sill plate repair for a homeowner in Amherst, NH.

This project involved removing severely deteriorated sill plates, installing temporary structural supports, and replacing the damaged wood with new pressure-treated lumber.

Work also included removing sections of cedar siding for access, installing new plywood sheathing and rigid foam insulation, and adding exterior moisture protection.

Another structural repair completed and a happy homeowner!

Matt attended the October 14 NHBOA seminar, Plan Review for Compartmentation in Type V-A Construction, presented by Wayne Barrow, and received 3 contact hours of continuing education.

The seminar focused on how compartmentation is addressed during plan review for Type V-A construction, including the importance of properly identifying fire-resistance-rated assemblies, fire walls, fire barriers, fire partitions, and other details that help limit the spread of fire and smoke throughout a building.

These are important details for framing crews to understand because the way walls, floors, ceilings, penetrations, and connections are built can directly affect whether the required fire-resistance rating is maintained in the field.

He continues attending these trainings to better understand the requirements being reviewed by building officials and to help ensure the work is completed correctly from the framing stage forward.

From a bouncy floor to a solid, safer-feeling home.

This homeowner originally contacted us because the floor above the basement felt bouncy and unstable.

We raised and supported the existing floor system, installed new structural framing, and reinforced the area while working around the existing plumbing, electrical and ductwork.

By the end of the repair, the homeowner said that he finally felt safe walking through his house.

During the final stage of the work, active termite damage was also uncovered in one of the existing wood members. Once removed, the tunneling and termites inside were clearly visible.

The affected area was left open so the termite issue can be addressed before the final joist is installed.

Structural repair work often reveals conditions that were hidden until the framing is opened up — and this project was a good example of that.

A lot of homeowners don’t realize termites can be small, pale/white insects and that serious damage can be hidden inside wood until it’s opened up.

We recently uncovered active termite damage during a structural framing repair. Once the wood was removed, you could clearly see the tunneling and the termites inside.

This is a good reminder that hidden conditions can exist even when everything looks fine from the outside.

If you suspect damaged wood or insect activity, it’s important to have it evaluated before closing the area back up.

Basement Framing + New Exterior Door

Basement framing project completed in Amherst, NH.

For this project, we framed a new room in the basement and converted an existing basement window opening into a new exterior door opening. The work included reframing the exterior wall, installing the new door, weatherproofing the opening, and reinstalling the exterior siding around the new entrance.

A relatively small project that made a significant change to how the space can be used and accessed.

The homeowners were very happy with the completed work, and we appreciate them choosing MKG Framing LLC for their project.
