"I worked with Alpha once before, and they assisted with a second project 2 years ago which, now finally completed, I'm able to write a review about. Alpha helped with structural plans for windows in a garden level unit in order to prepare the proposal for city approval. Alpha is a big company and it took them a little while to complete everything; however I can certainly say that the engineer and contact people were knowledgeable and thorough. The plans were approved with their help and now that the unit is permitted for occupancy, the windows are a lovely attribute to the space."

"We recently got turned down by the city of riverside on getting a roof permit. After many calls trying to find an engineer we came across new beginnings engineering. We gave them a call and Jonathon was here by the next day to inspect the roof. That same evening Trina sent us a letter that we could present to the city. Our roof contractor was able to get the approval from the city with no more issues. If I could give them 10 stars I would. We had a great experience working with them. They are quick and efficient; I cannot recommend them enough"

"I've had the recent good fortune to work with Tolga on renovation projects in Los Angeles and Manhattan Beach for which I am the Architect. The success of renovation work relies heavily on collaborative and creative structural engineering in order to realize interior and exterior architecture goals. Tolga instinctively understood my design goals and in a very professional manner he crafted solutions to bring them to reality. Many thanks Tolga. I look forward to our next collaboration."

"I had the pleasure of working with Aws on a recent project and was thoroughly impressed by his professionalism and efficiency. He delivered a clean, straightforward structural design that met all the necessary requirements without unnecessary complexity. Aws was fast, reliable, and highly communicative throughout the process, making coordination smooth and strass-free. On top of that, the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Aws and his firm for any structural engineering needs. They offer a great combination of expertise, responsiveness, and value."

"Jonathan responded to my request for a structural engineer within an hour. He was very professional and came to house to look at the project. Both Johnathan and Trina responded to my texts, calls and emails. Although this wasnâ t a large job, Jonathan gave me a bid and the completed project in two weeks. I wasnâ t sure who to contact, so I used Angi - Home Advisor and was connected with New Beginnings Engineering. I definitely recommend them if you need a structural engineer."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

Structural engineers specialize in all aspects of a building’s structural integrity, including the foundation. Foundation engineering is a critical part of structural engineering, so structural engineers are experts in foundation design. Many foundation repair companies either have a structural engineer on staff or one they work closely with, so be sure you look for that when deciding who to hire for foundation repair.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.

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.
