Core Structural Solutions
Specialized Structural Solutions for Complex Sacramento Properties
Sacramento presents a unique blend of architectural legacy and volatile delta soils. Whether you are stabilizing an unreinforced masonry building in Midtown or stopping active structural settlement in Natomas, we provide permanent, engineered interventions for the region’s highest-liability challenges.
Historic Building Structural Preservation: Sacramento’s Midtown, Land Park, and East Sacramento neighborhoods contain some of California’s most intact pre-1960 housing stock. Most structural contractors aren’t equipped to work inside these structures without damaging their historic fabric. We are. We use preservation-grade methods, era-compatible materials, and coordinate directly with Sacramento’s Historic Preservation Office when required.

Questions About Structural Work in Sacramento
A structural contractor specializes in the load-bearing elements of a building — foundations, beams, joists, framing, shear walls, and seismic systems. General contractors coordinate overall construction; structural contractors have the specialty knowledge and licensing to diagnose and repair problems that affect a building’s structural integrity and safety.
Yes, virtually all structural work in Sacramento requires a permit from the Sacramento Building Department. This includes load-bearing wall removals, seismic retrofits, foundation repairs, and framing for additions. DC Custom handles the full permit process, including stamped structural drawings where required.
Common signs include cracks running diagonally from door or window corners, doors or windows that stick or won’t latch, visible sagging in floors or ceilings, gaps between walls and ceilings, and foundation cracks — especially horizontal cracks in basement or crawl space walls. A structural assessment will identify the cause and necessary repair scope.
Scope varies widely. A foundation underpinning project typically takes 2–4 days. A full seismic retrofit averages 3–7 days. Major framing projects for additions scale with the project. We provide a timeline estimate as part of our free assessment.
