Sill plate replacement work typically involves removing and replacing the horizontal timber or concrete component that sits at the base of a wall and provides structural support to the framing and wall assembly. The process includes carefully removing the existing sill plate, inspecting the underlying foundation or framing for damage or deterioration, and then installing a new sill plate that is properly anchored and aligned. To evaluate requests for this work, details such as the extent of visible damage or deterioration, the type of existing materials, the dimensions of the sill plate, access conditions, and any structural concerns are important. Additionally, understanding the scope of work, whether it involves partial or full replacement, and the presence of any related issues like moisture intrusion or pest damage can help in assessing the project requirements and estimating costs.
