"We hired DM Building to remodel our Kitchen/Great room and couldn't be happier with the process or the result. Danny and team were super professional, punctual and good at communicating where we were at in the process and what to expect. Although a lot of the team works directly for DM Building (which is nice!), the subs were also really great and their craftsmanship was excellent. It's always nerve-racking when you have to choose a contractor to work with, but rest-assured DM Building and team are great and you'll be happy working with them. We're about to add-on to our house and are planning to use the DM Building team to do that project as well."

"CTID was (is!) great to work with -- they are still helping us with some final decorating items. We were new to town so Charles was a great help in introducing us to options, listening to us and translating what we wanted into recommendations. CTID sourced most if not all our materials from wood flooring, tile and countertops for kitchen and baths, kitchen cabinets and appliances, bath fixtures and vanities, and stone for the fireplace. They designed a built-in bed for the main bedroom and found us a wall bed for the guest room, Afghan rugs, living room furniture and cabinetry and outdoor furniture. Nearly all facets of our design and build were shepherded by Charles. We would definitely work with Charles again and it is clear from the various suppliers we met through him that he is highly respected."

"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

"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."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Provides expert analysis, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.
