Structural Repair Services in Greenwood, SC & the Lakelands

At Charles & Associates, every structural repair project is guided by the expertise of owner Chad Charles, a fourth-generation builder with over 31 years of hands-on experience. Under his leadership, our licensed and insured craftsmen deliver precise, reliable, and long-lasting repairs you can depend on. From crawl space beam replacement to termite-damaged floor joists, we restore the strength of your home with integrity and unmatched craftsmanship.
What Causes Structural Damage?
Structural issues often begin quietly and can worsen over time. The most common sources include moisture-related problems such as wood rot, mold, plumbing leaks inside walls or floors, and crawl space humidity or poor ventilation. Pest activity, including termites and other wood-destroying insects, can weaken beams, joists, and sill plates without obvious early signs. Homes may also experience damage from foundation settling or shifting, storm or impact events, or from aging framing and outdated construction methods. In some cases, issues arise from poor original construction or unpermitted renovations that do not meet structural requirements.
No matter the cause, our team identifies the root problem and delivers a long-term solution—not a quick patch.

Our Process: How We Restore the Strength of Your Home
At Charles & Associates, we make structural repair simple, transparent, and stress-free. Our proven process ensures your home is evaluated thoroughly, repaired correctly, and protected for the long term.
Here’s what you can expect when you work with our team:
Initial Consultation & Free Estimate
We begin with a straightforward conversation about your concerns. From there, we schedule your structural assessment and explain what we’ll be inspecting so you know exactly what to expect. You’ll receive a free, upfront estimate based on your needs and the scope of the issue.
Comprehensive Structural Assessment
Next, our licensed team performs a detailed evaluation of your home’s structure. We examine floor joists, beams, sill plates, rim joists, the crawl space, attic, or basement using structural integrity testing. We identify any wood rot, termite damage, moisture problems, or clearance issues that could affect the integrity of your home.
Clear, Honest Findings & Repair Plan
After the assessment, we present a clear explanation of our findings along with photos and documentation. We walk you through what is damaged, why it happened, and what needs to be done to fix it. You’ll receive a detailed repair plan and free quote so you can make an informed decision with full transparency and no surprises.
Coordination With Structural Engineer
If we identify conditions such as issues with manufactured trusses, footings, or other structural components, we collaborate with a licensed structural engineer to design and approve the repair plan before any work begins. This ensures the problem is properly resolved, does not recur, and that all structural repairs comply with local building requirements for inspection approval, insurance documentation, and long-term stability.
Coordination With Pest Control (If Needed)
If termites or other pests are involved, we partner with your pest control provider to verify that active infestations are treated before repairs begin. This ensures the issue does not return and that all structural work meets the requirements for CL-100 clearance, insurance documentation, or long-term prevention. Our goal is to restore your home and protect it from future damage.
Structural Repair & Restoration
Once the plan is approved, our craftsmen begin the restoration process. This may include removing and replacing damaged wood, reinforcing joists and framing, repairing or replacing subfloors and sill plates, restoring termite-compromised areas, and correcting moisture-related deterioration. Every repair is performed using code-compliant, industry-standard methods designed to restore stability and extend the life of your home.
Final Inspection & Clearance Documentation
When repairs are complete, we conduct a final inspection to ensure everything meets our standards for safety, strength, and craftsmanship. We provide detailed photos, documentation, and contractor verification for real estate closings. If your repairs were tied to a CL-100, we supply the necessary information so your pest control provider or inspector can issue final clearance. For insurance claims, we offer documentation to streamline your approval and reimbursement process.
Long-Term Protection & Prevention Guidance
To help prevent future structural issues, we offer recommendations tailored to your home—including moisture control solutions, ventilation improvements, drainage corrections, pest-prevention steps, and routine maintenance tips. Our goal is not only to fix the problem but to leave your home stronger, safer, and better protected for years to come.
CL-100 Letters, Real Estate Repairs & Clearance Reports
If you’re buying or selling a home in South Carolina, a CL-100 (Termite and Moisture Inspection Report) is required before closing. This report often uncovers structural concerns that must be addressed, such as moisture-damaged joists or subfloors, evidence of active or prior termite activity, fungal growth or wood rot, inadequate ventilation, or structural components that do not meet clearance requirements.
When a CL-100 reports damage, lenders and attorneys typically require repairs to be completed by a licensed contractor before issuing clearance.
