Second-Floor Decking Repaired at the Peoples Bank Building

Two workers on lifts installing lumber between ceiling joists in brick-walled interior.
Crews install structural blocking between ceiling joists on the second floor of Peoples Bank.

Carpenters completed structural floor work on the second story of the historic Peoples Bank. To correct unevenness and prepare for future tenant use, the team first removed existing floor materials to expose the trusses. These trusses were then individually adjusted, either raised or lowered, to level the surface.

Two men working from lifts to adjust wood decking on underside of second floor.

Contractors align new floor decking across the exposed truss framework.

Precision measurements help preserve original framing lines as restoration continues.

With the framework realigned, new decking can be installed to create a consistent and secure walking surface across the upper floor.
