The structure is like the skeleton of the home. The foundation of the structure sets the overall posture of the house. Strong, flat and unyielding to the elements. A good foundation will determine how everything that comes after it will stand. If an entire structure appears bowed or twisted in appearance it usually points to an issue with the foundation. If a section of the roof sags or cieling sags or appears out of square it could be a framing issue. Framing sized to small, overloaded or cut in the wrong place by a tradesman can cause many issues.
