Total Subfloor and Joist Replacement: A Full Crawlspace Renovation in Progress in Heber Springs, AR

When structural issues start beneath the floor, it takes experience, precision, and coordination to get things right from the ground up. That’s exactly what we delivered for a recent customer facing widespread subfloor damage and compromised joists throughout their home.

The Problem: Failing Subfloor and Joists Across the Entire Home

This Heber Springs, AR homeowner reached out after discovering widespread issues beneath their flooring—problems that extended from the kitchen and laundry room all the way to the bathrooms and bedrooms. The subfloor had deteriorated so extensively that full replacement was the only viable option. Upon inspection, we identified:

• Compromised joists throughout the crawlspace
• Significant sagging beneath the laundry room
• A failing main support beam spanning from the living room to the bathroom
• Water damage and poor insulation leading to long-term moisture intrusion

Due to limited access during the initial walkthrough—three bedrooms and multiple bathrooms were occupied—we prepared for unknowns, ensuring our team was ready for anything.

The Solution: Comprehensive Structural Reinforcement from the Crawlspace Up

With the help of the homeowner’s grandson, who handled the removal of interior fixtures—including cabinets, furniture, washer, dryer, vanities, tubs, and toilets—we were able to access the full subfloor. We prepared contingency plans in case the removals were not completed in time, providing clear, upfront pricing for any additional work required.

Once the interior was cleared, our team got to work:

• Joist and subfloor replacement across the entire crawlspace
• 14 feet of rim band replacement at the back left corner of the laundry room
• 30 feet of main beam replacement, running from the living room load-bearing wall to the bathroom
• Safe removal and disposal of kitchen cabinets
• Preparation for unexpected issues that often arise during complex structural repairs
• Full crawlspace encapsulation using SilverGlo™ insulation and LumberKote™, creating a sealed, moisture-resistant environment beneath the home
• Efficient debris removal using a strategically placed dumpster right near the front door

To make the process smoother, the customer prepped the space by moving all remaining furniture to the garage prior to our arrival—a crucial step in keeping the project on schedule.
