"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!!"

"The project went great. Peter is very professional, super knowledgeable, responsive and timely. The plans were done on time and there were no problems with the city review. They answered the questions the contractor had during the construction. Couldn't be happier with the whole process. I thought it would be more difficult than it was. Thanks to Peter and his team we feel very safe with the new addition. We are planning on putting a second story on our house (when we can afford it) and we will absolutely use Peter.

"Eran quickly responded to my inquiry regarding a load bearing structure of my home. He sent his structural engineer to determine if the structure was a load bearing problem. The engineer was able to determine 100% that it was not a load bearing structure. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs structural engineering solutions."

"My name is Michael Ghati. I hired R&R design to produce plans and pull the necessary permits from the city for a big remodeling job in a short time. The father and son (Rene and Franco) did an excellent job for me. They are extremely responsible, reasonable,personable,effortless and pleasure to work with. They have my blessing and I highly recommend them to anyone that can use their services."

"Mr. Erdelyi helped me legalize a structure in my backyard. The project is still ongoing but Mr Erdelyi was very attentive, invited me to discuss creative solutions and never let me feel that the project is too small. I can appreciate the way Mr. Erdelyi takes care of his customer. I did not introduced my self as such but I am an engineer myself."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.

Yes, water damage can affect your walls' structural integrity. If the water or moisture sits on the walls for an extended period, it can weaken the drywall, plaster, wood framing, and other materials supporting the wall. That's why it's critical to dry out the area as soon as you notice it.

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.
