"Our remodeling project was completed on February 2018 with cost of over 120,000. We could not have been more satisfied with the high quality of work that was accomplished by Cielo Construction. Their promise to make us feel happy and by answering all of our questions and carefully and the reaction to any of our questions, emergency, and more... Our remodeling project was big and took few months to finish, fairly priced and very involved. It involved lots of coordination between many people, such as, architects, engineers, painters, plasterers, plumbers, electricians and the list go on and on. All the remodeling work was finished professionally and flawlessly. All their Ideas that were given to us for suppliers and vendors.. were also excellent and all the materials that we got and used were top notch. Cielo Construction staff and Dylan (project manager) were able to keep the overall costs within the agreed budget. We recommend them strongly and without reservation. Pretty much on budget and on time!!!!!"

"I needed more space. I am a single mother with a son in college and 2 teenage daughters. My home was a fairly typical 50’s ranch style with 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. The lot is small and recent planning regulations had diminished the buildable area of the back yard considerably. A couple of designers had told me that I could not get a new Master bedroom suite with a full bath and walk-in closet without adding a second story. That cost was beyond my budget. A contractor friend referred me to Craig Young and his company, Architecture and Engineering Associates. Craig had gotten some very specific information from the City before our first meeting. He showed me how he could accomplish my goals by economically reconfiguring the current floor plan and adding new construction in the available space at the rear. I was amazed! The new master suite was much nicer than I had expected and the interior of the existing space opened up and became much more useable and attractive. In addition to preparing the plans (structural engineering and energy efficiency report), he also represented me to the City. His plans were apparently quite thorough as they were examined and approved in less than 2 hours! He assured me that this is very rare but I think it was amazing. Craig was easy to deal with. He kept his appointments, returned calls, and did it all with a great attitude. He did what he said, when he said, for the price he said. My kids each have their own rooms and are very happy. I am thrilled with my new Suite and privacy. We all enjoy the open space and ease of use of the re-created kitchen, dining, living, and laundry space."

"Mega Power was great! I hired them to go solar on my house and the solar analyst that came out was very helpful from day one. He was not just simply a sales guy he gave me his personal cell phone that I was able to call anytime if I had questions or wanted updates about my project.
My project was about 6 kW and consisted of 22 panels, each panel was 275 Watts. What I loved about these guys is that all the products they installed were American made products, warrantied for 25 years! Working with Jonathan (our sales guy) was another reason I chose to go with Mega Power. Every step of the way Jonathan was informative, and just professional from day 1. Price quotes with other companies were similar, so I simply chose the company that provided me the best service before signing anything."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.

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

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.
