When you notice that your doors and windows are no longer shutting properly, it’s time to get the local Ballarat restumping experts in. These are the guys to call, they can restump your whole house or part of it with quality new stumps in either concrete, steel or hardwood.

This is the most cost-effective way to maintain your home’s foundation and ensure that it’s strong and secure. However, it is important to note that re-stumping does not necessarily fix all problems that are associated with the ground on which your house sits. This is because the root cause of these issues lies beyond the re-stumping work. For instance, if the soil conditions at your property are unstable or the load-bearing requirements have changed, then you may need to consider underpinning.

It’s also worth mentioning that both re-stumping and underpinning can affect the appearance of your home. If you are planning on renovating your property, then it’s a good idea to do the restumping work before that happens so that any changes will be more subtle. This will also make any future renovations easier to complete and avoid the need for patching or concealment of timbers.

You should be wary of contractors who quote a price that seems too cheap as this could be indicative of their work quality. This is a significant undertaking and taking shortcuts can have disastrous consequences. It’s better to pay a bit more to work with a professional who will take the time and effort to do the job properly.

A building survey will determine whether your property requires restumping or underpinning. If the problem is due to unstable soil, foundation underpinning may be required, whereas if it’s caused by damaged or deteriorating stumps then restumping may be the best option.

The cost of restumping will vary depending on the type of stumps you need to replace and their size. For example, concrete stumps are more expensive than timber. In addition, you may need to hire a specialist to remove the old stumps and dig deeper holes for concrete footings, which will add to your overall costs.

You should also factor in any additional jobs that may be necessary as a result of the restumping work, such as repairing walls and re-installing floorboards. This will have a significant impact on the overall price. You should also check what is included and excluded from the quote before you sign it. Lastly, make sure the contractor is licensed and insured to work in your area. This will ensure that they are reputable and have the experience and skills to carry out the work safely. This will help to protect you from any potential legal issues in the event of a dispute. You should also look for a contract with a fixed price, which will give you peace of mind that the final bill won’t be any more than expected. This will prevent any unexpected surprises and ensure that you’re getting the best possible service.
