"Due to a number of large cracks inside and outside of the house, along with skewed doors, I was concerned about structural issues. Greg was able to come out and look at the outside of the house, attic, and crawl space soon after I spoke with him. He explained there isn't anything structurally wrong with the house and the reasons we could be experiencing the issues we're having. He made several suggestions on what to do and how to go about alleviating the issues. Very personable."

Harlequin Designs and Engineering was recently founded by Civil Engineer, Christian Bratt, from Truckee, CA and is now based out of San Francisco.\n\nChristian is ready for any residential design challenges you have. With hands on experience in many trades do to his upbringing by his two brothers and father who are all contractors in the Tahoe/Truckee area, Christian has a true advantage over traditionally trained Architects and Engineers. Being able to implement a design, engineer it, and have a thorough understanding of how it will be built is a perfect storm for saving time, money, and materials.

"We purchased a home a few months ago, and knew that we wanted to build an addition as well as remodel the kitchen. Living here for a few months now we also realized some other parts of the home could use an upgrade, like heating and electrical.
Goodfellas was one of several companies who we contacted to provide estimates and to walk us through their approach on such a project. Tom Levi of their San Jose office got back to use very quickly, and was able to meet onsite just a few days later. We talked extensively about our requirements, priorities and ideas, and we felt Tom had a great sense of what will be important for us and how he could help us make things work - both budget as well as time-wise.
We very much appreciated Tom's honesty and realistic expectation setting, which was nice to see compared to some of the "sales talk" we got from other companies.
Tom continued to be very responsive throughout the process, usually getting back to us within just a few hours and providing clear and concise answers and proposals.
We have now signed the contract for architectural/engineering/permit services - a first step in this larger project. And we are looking forward to starting the work with Tom and his team in January.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
