Home and Building Inspections (primarily structural) for purchasers and mortgage companies and insurance companies.

"Gateway mortgage company recommended Roger and CDR inspections to do a structural inspection of one of our rental properties before approving a refinance. He did not give it a pass, and suggested having nine piers installed around the perimeter of the house. After some due diligence, we discovered that Eden’s had already installed piers in 2020, and we communicated this to Roger. He said he would not give the property an OK until the adjustments were made, so we had Edens come out and adjust the piers, as well as add three additional piers to another corner, per Roger’s instructions. After completing all work, both we and Chris Padley from Gateway Mortgage have been emailing and contacting Roger for 6 weeks to do a final inspection so that we can move forward with our refinance, and he is disregarding all of our phone calls and emails. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences we have ever encountered. We are unable to move forward on our very important refinance until he signs off on this structural inspection. Our lender told us, “I am at a complete loss why he won’t respond.” Look elsewhere, Roger is not friendly and he’s not willing to work with customers."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

Because of their composite structure, cutting or drilling LVL beams can compromise their integrity. We strongly advise contacting a general contractor or structural engineer before making any alterations to LVL beams. Professionals can also answer questions about choosing between a pier and beam versus slab foundation when designing your project.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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.
