"Unicorn Structures is responsive and professional. Quality work with a quick turn around and reasonable price. Devendra helped with Engineering calculations to remove a load bearing wall and drafted plans for home remodel. Will definitely hire again and recommend to anyone that needs Structural Engineering and Architectural support."

"Working with Francisco and his team was amazing! From start to finish, they made the whole process of remodeling my house so easy and stress-free. Francisco really listened to what I wanted and came up with creative ideas. He was very responsive and always kept me in the loop. The final result is even better than I imagined. My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

"We met Mike at the San Jose homeshow.  He seemed like he had a lot of experience.  We liked the idea that everything was handled in house, from design and engineering to building. 
Mike was great at returning calls, follow-up and making an appointment.  My husband and I had basic plans we had created showing the idea of our project and were trying to get an idea of if we could afford to start the project.
We made an appointment for Mike to come by.  He called when he was supposed to arrive to let us know he was running late but would be there.  When he arrived, he seemed like he was already off to his next appointment.  He was very much in a hurry.  He did a lot of talking about his ideas, but not a lot of listening as to what we were thinking.  He did have some great ideas as to what he would do with the project.  He dismissed the research we had already done on the project.
After this brief meeting, he took the drawings we had prepared and told us he'd get back to us with an estimate for architectural and structural engineering services.   He never got back to us.  We didn't follow-up with him because we didn't feel like we would be a good fit.

Mike gave me a call after seeing my review on Yelp and on Angie's List.  He apologized for my experience and explained that his mother passed away shortly after our meeting.  Due to his mother's passing he needed to take care of many of her affairs and deal with family matters.  I hadn't contacted him again as I decided we wouldn't be a good fit so knew nothing of his family circumstances.  He had misplaced my contact information.  Once he saw this review he could find me again and called me to apologize for this experience.  He offered some services with reduced rates to make up for my experience.  He also asked me to update this review.

I feel like Mike was sincere and apologetic and was really wanting to make things right.

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.

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.

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 standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.
