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, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

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.

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.
