We are a relatively small (14 person) construction company located in Santa Cruz, in business since 1993. Please visit us at avalonstructural.com.

"The foundation of our home in Oak Hills (North Monterey County) was settling. The repair would be a complex undertaking. My wife and I had two separate contractors come in to evaluate and bid on the foundation repair. Both of them said that the job was beyond their capabilities, despite having repaired numerous other foundations. After a prolonged search, we found two companies that were willing to submit bids for the work. One company was from Livermore and the other was Avalon Structural out of Santa Cruz. The bids were close to each other in cost, but the Avalon bid incorporated a lot more structural reinforcement of the foundation. The foundation repair company from Livermore was going to use a coiled steel support and would not guarantee that they could get the foundation level. Avalon Structural used an inordinate amount of galvanized steel pilings driven deep until they met the required resistance to prevent settling. This is a much stronger type of foundation support. In addition to the steel pilings, Avalon’s bid also included a massive steel reinforced concrete support that ran about half the length of the house. Avalon also guaranteed that they could get the foundation level. We decided to go with Avalon and are very happy we did. Roger, the owner of Avalon Structural, met with me personally. We crawled under the house together as he explained in detail the plans for the repair that had been submitted by the structural engineer, his son Dylan. The construction crew was hard working, pleasant and clean. By clean I mean that the construction area was always left clean and organized at the end of the day. The repair took over a month with a daily crew of four to six men. When the work was complete, our floors and foundation were absolutely level. Now, approximately two years after the completion of work, our foundation has not moved at all. As a result of our experience with Avalon Structural, I can and do enthusiastically recommend them to anyone considering a foundation repair in the area. I don’t think you will find a company that can do a better job than Roger and his team at Avalon Structural. Five out of five stars! Dave Johnson Oak Hills, North Monterey County."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.
