My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Level a sagging Porch

17 years ago

My porch is sagging on one corner, 2 of the 4 sides are attaché directly to the house.

It has been fully enclosed around 1970; the house was built in 1905. The 4x4 corner support column and the brick footing seem to be in good shape. The sag is about 1.5"". I would like to lift the corner up and add blocks to raise the one corner. The total size is about 5Â x 8Â. Does anyone think I need to remove the supports and brace the roof to raise the floor. If I do I would also need to remove the siding on it, which I would like to avoid. There are no windows just a door which will plumb up when I raise the corner. I think it is small enough to do with out removing all, Just trying to get a second opinion

Thanks
