"I've done 3 remodels, built 5 homes, & 3 additions in Jacksonville. I have experience working w/ many engineers & never had to fire an engineer until Fortress. I chose to call Fortress based on their numerous good reviews & had high hopes their performance & professionalism would match. I was highly disappointed. Today I was told by 1 of the 2 owners (Steve) of Fortress that I would have to “choose between getting a refund & talking online.” Those were his exact words. In a split second, I knew the right thing to do…write an honest review. I didn’t know companies could literally silence customers from writing or speaking honest opinions & experiences. I was stunned. I lost faith in reviews. I lost faith in companies w/ 5-star reviews. In that one moment when Steve said that to me, I knew I had chosen his firm as structural engineers for my remodel based ENTIRELY on their 5-star reviews. I'd never worked w/ them before. I had no trusted friends, colleagues, or contractors that could vouch for them. No one recommended them or could stand by them. I did my best to research online & read reviews of customers that had gone before me. I trusted the info I read. But now, I wonder HOW MANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS WERE SILENCED FOR A REFUND? Frankly, my experience w/ them is just that…MY experience. But it certainly has me wondering how many OTHER people had a similar experience? If you want quality, courteous customer service, go elsewhere. If you want experienced engineers, go elsewhere. If you want knowledgeable staff answering phones, go elsewhere. If you want projects done in a timely manner, go elsewhere. If you desire clear expectations & clear communication thru the project, go elsewhere. Those are the main reasons I myself decided to go elsewhere. They kept my money because I wanted to keep my voice & honesty. Here are the indisputable facts. They charge in advance & don't work on your file for weeks. I paid between $500-700 for initial site visits & consultations. I paid them $1600 additional to take my job. No clear timeline was outlined in the contract so I had no recourse. No calls, no emails for weeks after paying. I called several times & made no forward progress. I expressed serious safety & timeline concerns about trusses that Fortress didn’t acknowledge or address. I was surprised how few years/months of experience all 4 of the engineers I met at Fortress had. I encourage you strongly if you're desperate for an engineer, proceed w/ caution. Interview them well before paying. Visit in person. See their operation. Meet their team. Research their engineers. Ask for years (or months) of experience they've worked in engineering & construction in general. Clarify which engineer will be assigned to your specific job. Clarify engineers you pay to inspect your job site will be the same engineers working on the required drawings & plans afterwards. Get it all in writing. Clarify expectations & project scope. Clarify timeline & turnaround. Clarify how to reach the engineers you paid. Clarify the process to address future concerns or changes. Clarify how to resolve issues, create solutions & navigate through construction challenges. This was my mistake. I never would’ve hired them for remodel plans if I'd met them in person. I wasn’t there initially due to health reasons & missed that important meeting up front. Experienced pros on my job who met the owner & team on site said Fortress lacked experience & knowledge & skipped steps. If I knew THEN what I know NOW, I wouldn't be out another $1600 that they refuse to refund me w/out signing a release including a clause that says I won’t post a review or speak of my negative experience w/ others. I feel that’s unethical. Nic & Steve PUT IN NO EFFORT to meet, propose solutions or resolve stressful situations. Reviews are a platform to share honest feedback & personal experience w/ new potential clients looking for references. I didn’t have trusted references for Fortress Engineering. Reviews were important to me. Please keep searching. Ask good questions. Good luck on your project!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.
