Help! Shed footings are basically destroyed – DIY repair or contractor?
Hey everyone, The footings of my backyard shed are in really bad shape – some are cracked, others leaning and others seem to be sinking. I can't tell any obvious leaning of the shed, the whole structure looks fine at first sight. I’m not sure how long it’s been this way (we recently bought the house like this), but now I want to either fix or replace them before the whole structure gets worse. I have some basic tools and DIY experience, but I’ve never dealt with foundations or leveling a structure before. Is this something I could realistically tackle myself? If so, what’s the general process or what should I look out for? Alternatively, if I go with a contractor, what kind of price range am I looking at? The shed is about 10x12 ft, and I’m in southern Quebec. Any tips, advice, or warnings are super appreciated! Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/Fantasmic_Poe [link] [comments]
