Sill plate replacement work generally involves removing and replacing the existing sill plate, which is a horizontal structural component that sits at the bottom of a wall and provides support to the framing and foundation. The process typically includes inspecting the existing sill for damage or deterioration, carefully removing the compromised material, and installing a new, properly sized and secured sill plate to ensure structural stability. When evaluating requests for this work, details such as the extent of visible damage, the age of the structure, the presence of moisture or pest-related issues, and the accessibility of the area are important considerations. Accurate measurements, identification of the type of material to be replaced, and any necessary reinforcement or additional structural work also help determine scope and cost.
