"For those who understand how much is involved with kitchen and bathroom renovations, you know how overwhelming it can be. For those new to it, itâ s amazingly tedious and intimidating. I had the pleasure of working with Leila on 2 kitchen and bathroom renovations for my last 2 houses. Her eye for details and design knowledge made it easy for me think outside my limited imagination for design. She made It easy to pick choices such as countertops, tile, paint for walls and cabinets all coordinating with the flooring. I could not be happier with the way the projects came out. I highly recommend Leila for her input in your next project. She is respectful, attentive to her clients needs and desires and understands the importance of staying within the budget. You will not be disappointed."

"The workmanship of the fence was very good. The workers were professional and kept the area clean after working. We did have an issue with the quote / cost of the new fence. I was able to speak with the owner James and he made sure he took care of our concern right away. I would reccomend them for your next fence. We have already referred one neighbor to Tioga Fence and Lumber , i am sure there will be more to come."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

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.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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.

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.
