Historic home remodels
The 25th Street area and surrounding neighborhoods have a lot of turn-of-the-century construction. Opening these houses up requires understanding how they were originally built before deciding what can come out.
Service area
Ogden has a large stock of historic homes and a bench that climbs hard into the mountains. That combination produces two very different kinds of structural work: careful modification of old buildings downtown, and hillside and slope problems up against the mountain.
Local conditions
The 25th Street area and surrounding neighborhoods have a lot of turn-of-the-century construction. Opening these houses up requires understanding how they were originally built before deciding what can come out.
The east bench climbs steeply. Slope, retaining, and foundation-on-slope questions are routine here in a way they are not on the valley floor.
Older foundations combined with decades of grading and irrigation changes make settlement evaluation a frequent request.
Many original homes are small by current standards, so second stories and rear additions are common — and both load the original foundation in new ways.
