Structural & Foundation Repair Contractor in Greater Ann Arbor

Through our structural and foundation repair services, MBK Constructors has successfully restored the integrity of homes throughout Ann Arbor and the surrounding area.

Our team confidently addresses cracked foundations, basement wall reinforcement, foundation leveling, and structural stabilization.

Why Structural & Foundation Repair Matters

In a traditional home remodel or renovation project, separate contracts are awarded for design and construction. Design-build remodeling offers a more streamlined approach where both the design and construction work are managed by one team and outlined in a single contract.

MBK’s design-build process is championed by our skilled in-house team and a network of vetted designers, architects, and subcontractors who are fully equipped and aligned to handle your project from concept to completion.

  • Cracks in drywall/plaster, especially above doorways and windows
  • Separation between walls and ceilings
  • Ceiling sagging or bowing

Doors and Windows

  • Doors or windows that stick or won’t close properly
  • Gaps around window frames and doors
  • Misaligned door frames or doors swinging open/closed on their own

Exterior

  • Chimney tilting or pulling away from the house
  • Cracks in exterior siding, brick, or stucco
  • Roofline sagging or uneven

Our Structural Repair Services

Seeing any of the signs of structural issues can cause alarm for property owners, but they don’t have to be permanent problems.

As one of Greater Ann Arbor’s top foundation repair contractors, we provide:

  • Foundation repair
  • Basement wall repair and reinforcement
  • Load-bearing wall removal and structural modifications

Foundation Repair

A strong foundation is essential for a safe and stable home. As experienced foundation repair contractors, MBK specializes in diagnosing and resolving foundation problems before they escalate.

We’ll start by assessing the state of your foundation, noting any settling, shifting, cracks, or unevenness. Then, we’ll develop a solution specifically tailored to the situation—likely a combination of leveling, reinforcing, and stabilizing the structure to prevent further movement and damage.

Basement Wall Repair & Reinforcement

MBK Constructors provides basement wall repair and reinforcement services to greater Ann Arbor area homeowners, using proven solutions like carbon fiber reinforcements, steel braces, and crack sealing to restore strength and stability.

Cracked, bowing, or shifting basement walls should never be ignored. Over time, these structural issues can worsen, eventually causing water intrusion, mold growth, and compromised foundation stability. If you suspect your basement walls are compromised, we’ll reinforce, realign, and waterproof your walls to protect the infrastructure of your home for the foreseeable future.

Load-Bearing Wall Removal & Structural Modifications

Dreaming about a more open floor plan? You may be ready to remove a load-bearing wall, but it supports the weight of the structure above it. Removing it is likely possible but requires additional structural support to maintain your building’s integrity.

If you’re considering structural modifications, MBK’s structural engineering background and load-bearing wall removal experience can help. We will ensure your home is supported with proper load-bearing replacements, like beam and column installations, while achieving your desired layout.
