"I've worked with several architects through the years on remodels and additions and Joel has been the best to work with. He has been extremely responsive and helpful throughout all the phases of the process and has given us great ideas to help us acheive our vision. And as we are out of state he's been a godsend helping us with finding a contractor, obtaining permits and taking care of the myriad details that come with a whole house remodel. A true professional whom we highly recommend."

"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!!!!!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.
