Steel bracing isn’t just for commercial buildings. Residential homes often require steel supports in situations like:
Whether we’re installing a steel beam to replace a wall or reinforcing a failing floor system, our solutions are engineered for strength, safety, and long-term performance.
Steel Beam Installation
We install structural steel I-beams and channels to carry heavy loads across wide spans or weakened areas. Beams are installed with proper bearing points, fasteners, and shoring to meet or exceed code.
Steel Post & Column Supports
We replace old or failing wood posts with steel jack posts or permanent columns to ensure stability and long-term durability.
Custom Steel Bracing
Need a custom structural solution? We fabricate and install custom steel bracing for walls, floors, and foundations—including angle braces, plates, and connectors.
Engineering Collaboration
We work closely with structural engineers to ensure every steel solution is designed to handle the load requirements safely.
At Old School Contracting, we reinforce structures with precision—no guesswork, no shortcuts, just rock-solid results.
If your structure needs stronger support or you're planning a major remodel, steel bracing may be the safest route. Let Old School Contracting inspect your home and recommend the right steel solution. Call (262) 442-8040 or go to our contact form to request your free structural evaluation in Janesville.

Janesville is a city in southern Wisconsin, often called the "City of Parks" for its abundance of green spaces. Founded in 1835, it grew rapidly during the industrial revolution, particularly due to the presence of the General Motors assembly plant, which operated for decades before closing in 2008. The city’s economy is now diversified, with significant contributions from healthcare, education, and retail sectors. The downtown area is a blend of historic buildings, local shops, and restaurants. Janesville is home to over 2,500 acres of parkland, including Rockport and Palmer Parks, which provide various recreational activities such as hiking, boating, and picnicking. The Rock River also adds to the city's outdoor charm, offering opportunities for fishing and kayaking. Janesville has a strong education system, with public schools and the University of Wisconsin-Rock County. The city also hosts cultural events like the Janesville Farmer's Market and Art in the Park. Despite challenges after the GM plant closure, Janesville has focused on revitalization, economic growth, and community development.
