"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."

"My project came out even better than expected. Josh was super easy to work with and he listened to my expectations and was able to customize the infrastructure and landscaping to meet my needs and follow through with the work in a timely and cost-efficient manner. I would highly recommend his company."
A well Designed project results in fun for the family. Here is the party that occurred right after the design was installed.

"They started off great, fast and professional. We had them create blue print plans from my design. I had to pay their full bill before they released final plans which was fine of course. However, my contractor and I ran into a problem on part of their design and engineering and that's when the service went to crap. The contractor and I have been trying to resolve the issue for more than two weeks little success, in fact just the runaround. The Engineer tells us he needs to talk to the architect; the architect says he'll talk to the engineer and nothing happens. That's gone on for two whole weeks. My project is a dead standstill for two weeks which is not acceptable. That's also screwed up the schedules of the contractor and their sub-contractors Therefore what would a bit of five star rating for these guys turned into a 1 to 2. I was very happy with the beginning of the process but once you pay them you can forget about any additional service if you have questions. On the plus side, they seem like nice people to work with, the plans were put together well, and their prices seemed reasonable. As noted above, their follow up service is completely lacking. I would gladly paid another designer more to get complete service that didn't leave me hanging for weeks on end. Today starts week 3 with no resolution."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.
