Foundation issues, load-bearing wall changes, and floor instability don't get better with time. Our licensed structural crew handles it safely, correctly, and to code โ across the entire DFW metroplex.
Structural work is not a DIY project and it's not a job for a general handyman. It requires licensed contractors with real experience โ and that's exactly what Urban General brings to every job.
Opening up your floor plan often means removing load-bearing walls โ one of the most structurally sensitive tasks in home renovation. We assess the load path, design the correct beam and post solution, pull the necessary permits, and execute the work with full structural integrity preserved.
DFW's expansive clay soils are hard on foundations. Cracks, settlement, and shifting are common across the metroplex. We diagnose the cause, identify the appropriate repair method, and restore your foundation to a stable, code-compliant condition โ with documentation you can provide to future buyers or insurers.
Soft spots, bouncy floors, squeaking subfloors, and uneven surfaces are signs of joist damage or subfloor failure. We expose the problem, replace or sister damaged joists, repair subfloor sheathing, and restore your floors to level and solid before any finish flooring goes back down.
Inherited a property with unpermitted additions, improper structural work, or code violations? We assess the existing conditions, develop a remediation plan, file the appropriate permits with local DFW municipalities, and bring the work into full code compliance โ so you can sell, refinance, or insure without issues.
When a wall is holding up your second floor, or your foundation is shifting, the margin for error is zero. Structural failures put families and property at risk. This is precisely why licensing, permitting, and experience matter more here than anywhere else in construction.
Urban General Construction is fully licensed and insured in the State of Texas. Every structural project we undertake is properly permitted with the local municipality, inspected by a licensed building inspector, and documented in full. You receive a clean record of the work โ essential for any future sale, refinance, or insurance claim.
These are common warning signs in DFW homes that indicate a structural assessment is needed. If you're seeing any of these, don't wait.
Cracks radiating from the corners of openings often indicate foundation movement or settlement โ a common issue in DFW's clay soil conditions.
Frames that have shifted out of square are a classic sign of foundation movement or structural framing issues that need professional evaluation.
Floors that flex underfoot or feel soft in certain areas typically indicate damaged or undersized floor joists or failed subfloor sheathing.
Stair-step cracks in brick veneer or exterior masonry walls often follow foundation movement and should be evaluated before they expand.
A roofline that dips or a ceiling that sags may indicate rafter failure, ridge board issues, or bearing wall problems requiring immediate attention.
