"Great company to work with! They are very thorough and detailed, yet able to be flexible. When our first idea did not look good in the drawings, they came up with an even better idea. All trades - framing, roofing, plumbing, painting, electrical - were impressive in their knowledge and quality."
"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

"The Max Build team did a great job with my projects. They are very knowledgeable and helpful in discussions solutions and alternative. They were punctual, the work was done on time and at a reasonable price.

I would highly recommend Max Build, LLC for remodeling needs and would definitely hire them again for my own."
"He did an okay job with us. We had to remind him constantly. He was late. He didn't turn out to be a good fit for us. It wasn't major with us. We are smart enough to make sure we didn't give all the money upfront and got the work done. But, it became a little frustrating."
Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.
The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.
