"Erinn was my initial contact and he gave a very through and fair estimate. We had structural work done to support floor joists and large beams under the garage that needed replacing. Ernesto and his team, Julio, Salvatore and Gilder worked tirelessly to complete the work and were respectful, punctual, informative and good humoured throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. A really great company!!"

"I called on a Friday evening and Jonathon answered. I needed a structural engineer inspection to satisfy an underwriting requirement of the lender for a house I was selling. Jonathon came out that weekend, was very pleasant and helpful and I had the letter I needed first thing Monday morning. I was quite impressed with his service and would definitely use him again."

"Raj, is a stand-up guy full of integrity. We needed Structural Engineering Design and Calculation services for a retaining wall in our backyard- the wall is neighbor adjacent and retaining a slop, and would exceed 75LF in length and 4FT height. It needed to be designed thoughtfully; And we needed it to be prepared and presented to the City for a Building Permit, so it also had to adhere to our city's unique municipal codes and ordinances. And we needed it done ASAP. Raj, took the challenge and delivered! Raj, came over immediately, he worked over the weekend for us, and delivered all the necessary designs, calculations and drawings, such that it can go to the City by Monday morning. All while putting up with our countless questions, emails, and phone calls. And of course the Engineers at the City Planning & Building Department granted the permit without hassle. His patience, professionalism, and calm demeanor is why we will call Raj again for all of our Engineering needs in the future."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

New homeowners in San Clemente should prioritize a seismic retrofit assessment, especially for homes built before 1980. Inspect the foundation for signs of salt air corrosion, moisture intrusion, or bluff instability if near the coast. Check drainage systems and evaluate the roof structure for wind resistance. Address any immediate safety concerns, then schedule a comprehensive structural evaluation within your first year to identify potential long-term issues.

Helpful?

In San Clemente, homes built on coastal bluffs, sandy soils, or steep hillsides often face unique challenges like bluff stability and coastal erosion. Spanish Colonial and adobe styles may have unreinforced masonry or older framing. Watch for uneven floors, diagonal cracks near windows, sagging rooflines, or signs of salt air corrosion. Homes near the ocean may also require additional soil stability and moisture intrusion assessments.

Helpful?

In San Clemente, structural engineering projects—especially foundation repairs or seismic retrofits—can impact plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, particularly in older homes with original layouts. Adjusting framing or reinforcing walls may require rerouting pipes, updating wiring, or modifying ductwork. Early coordination with multiple trades helps prevent utility disruptions and ensures upgrades meet current California building codes and local requirements for coastal properties.

Helpful?

In San Clemente, keep children and pets safe by setting up sturdy barriers around construction zones and securing tools against strong coastal winds. Create designated play areas away from work sites and use daily dust control measures to minimize allergens. Communicate clearly with your contractor about family routines, and for major projects, consider temporary relocation or pet boarding to reduce stress and exposure to construction hazards.

Helpful?

In San Clemente, issues like foundation cracks wider than 1/4 inch, sloping floors, or visible wall separation—especially after heavy rain or seismic activity—typically require a structural engineering evaluation. If you’re planning to modify load-bearing walls or add a second story, professional input is essential. Minor stucco cracks or isolated roof leaks usually indicate less urgent repairs, but persistent moisture intrusion should be checked promptly.
