Wood Repair and Framing

Structural Wood Repair & Custom Framing in Orange County, A home is only as strong as its frame. When wood fails due to moisture, termites, or age, cosmetic fixes are just a temporary bandage. You need a solution that addresses the root cause. Since 2003, Every Class Construction Inc. has been the go-to General Contractor for structural integrity, providing expert Wood Repair and Framing Services across Lake Forest, Irvine, and Southern California.

We specialize in diagnosing hidden issues. Our assessments look beyond the surface: we trace water paths, check load-bearing points, and evaluate hardware connections. Whether you have a sagging balcony in Laguna Niguel or termite-damaged eaves in Santa Ana, we restore the “bones” of your home so it remains safe, straight, and compliant with current building codes.

Dry Rot & Termite Damage Repair

In our coastal climate, moisture and pests are constant threats. Dry rot (wood decay fungi) and termite damage can silently compromise your home’s stability. We don’t just patch these areas; we surgically remove the damage and rebuild.

• Fascia & Eave Repair: Your roofline is the first line of defense. We replace rotted fascia boards, rafter tails, and starter boards to ensure your roof system is secure and your curb appeal is restored.

• Sill Plate & Rim Joist Replacement: These are critical structural components that sit on your foundation. If they rot, your floor can sag. We have the equipment to safely shore up your home and replace these difficult-to-reach timbers.

• Siding & Trim Restoration: We remove damaged wood siding and exterior trim, installing durable replacements that are primed and painted to match your existing exterior seamlessly.

Custom Framing & Structural Upgrades

Are you planning a Home Addition, an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), or opening up a wall for a modern kitchen? Precision framing is critical for these projects. As licensed framers, we ensure every stud, header, and beam is installed to plan.

• Load-Bearing Wall Removal: Want an open-concept living space? We install engineered LVL beams or Glulam headers to safely support the weight of your second floor or roof, allowing you to remove restrictive walls.

• Window & Door Re-Framing: Changing a window to a sliding glass door? We handle the rough openings, ensuring proper header sizing and flashing installation so your new fixtures fit perfectly and never leak.

• Shear Wall Upgrades: For older homes, we upgrade shear walls with structural plywood and proper nailing patterns to improve earthquake resistance and meet modern seismic codes.
