"Erinn was my initial contact and he gave a very through and fair estimate. We had structural work done to support floor joists and large beams under the garage that needed replacing. Ernesto and his team, Julio, Salvatore and Gilder worked tirelessly to complete the work and were respectful, punctual, informative and good humoured throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. A really great company!!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional engineer who handled the structural engineering plan for my kitchen remodeling project, including the removal of a load-bearing wall. Throughout the entire process, this gentleman displayed an outstanding level of professionalism, effective communication, and an unwavering commitment to delivering on his promises. I am thrilled to share my experience and highly recommend his services. From the very beginning, it was evident that this engineer was dedicated to providing exceptional service. His friendly and approachable demeanor made it easy to communicate my ideas and concerns, and he listened attentively to understand my vision for the project. Not only did he grasp the technical aspects of the plan, but he also ensured that he fully understood my requirements and preferences, making me feel confident that I was in capable hands. One of the key qualities that impressed me was his precision and attention to detail. The engineer meticulously analyzed the existing structure and devised a comprehensive plan that addressed the load-bearing wall removal, ensuring the structural integrity of my home. His expertise and thoroughness were evident in every aspect of the plan, leaving no room for errors or doubts. I truly appreciated his dedication to producing a reliable and safe design. Furthermore, the engineer's commitment to delivering within the promised timeframe was commendable. He provided an estimated schedule at the beginning of the project, and I was amazed at how diligently he adhered to it. His punctuality and ability to meet deadlines were remarkable, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. It was refreshing to work with someone who valued my time and made it a priority to complete the project on schedule. Additionally, when we encountered a minor setback due to feedback from the city regarding few modifications, the engineer promptly addressed the issue without hesitation. He quickly incorporated the necessary changes into the plan, ensuring compliance with the city's requirements. Throughout this process, he remained cooperative, responsive, and highly professional, handling all the necessary revisions with efficiency and expertise. Overall, my experience with this engineer was exceptional. His outstanding communication skills, friendliness, precision, commitment to timelines, and cooperative nature surpassed my expectations. I am thrilled with the results of the kitchen remodel and load-bearing wall removal, thanks to his expertise and dedication. I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone in need of a talented and reliable engineer for their home renovation projects."

"Structural Engineer Ehab contacted me about my residential property inquiry. He had already reviewed my property and the general situation I was inquiring about when I called him back. We spoke to me about his concerns with the project and answered all my questions over the phone. He was excellent to work with. Professional & Knowledgeable. Would highly recommend reaching out for technical issues concerning residential engineering. The reason he wasn't hired was that he provided feedback that dissuaded us from taking on a costly project that would not have achieved our stated goals. I will definitely reach out to Ehab in the future prior to beginning any major residential addition or remodel."

"-It was about 2 weeks ago that I met Mr Sal and he cam to see the project site as well to take the measurements required next day later he immediately scheduled an appointment with my local city of Westminster to find out what was exactly requested soon after he left it took only 3 days for him to develop all the structural calculations for the mother-in low quarter and the 2 car garage I was extremely pleased for his professionalism and fast expedited work. The quotes that I was provided from him were by far quite fair than the other I had interviewed prior of meeting him. Mr Sal truthfully went the extra mile to make it happen for what I was looking for. I therefore would Highly recommend to anyone in need of such works to look for Mr. Sal from AAA Engineering Design, you will never be disappointed. I want everyone to know that he is truly a great asset to our community. Thank you John Trimarco"

Structural Engineering FAQs, answered by experts

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

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.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
