"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"I had a fantastic experience working with this drafting firm. From the very first phone call, Kirsten?our drafting consultant? was clear, professional, and incredibly helpful. She explained the entire process in detail and made sure all of my questions were answered up front, which gave me immediate confidence in the team. This firm partnered with engineers and architects to get the best quote for me on a stamp for my plans after they did an exceptional job on drawing the prints that met all the requirements for permitting. Their coordination and attention to detail made the process very simple on my end. If you are looking for a highly capable drafting firm that knows how to get things done right, I highly recommend them!"

Richard A. Keding Architect
New to Angi
Architect

Serving Shingletown, CA and surrounding areas

In business since 1981

Accepted as an apprentice by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1957, Richard Keding served an extended internship in Wisconsin and Arizona which subsequently developed into a staff position with Taliesin Architects, the successor firm to Frank Lloyd Wright�s office. Later establishing his own firm in California, he has concentrated in the design of distinctive personal residences.\n\nKeding believes that a home must nurture the spirit of those who live there, and consciously draws upon certain architectural design standards and values that support the human experience. His work does not simply rely upon historical precedents. Each individual house is the result of a creative approach to residential design that is appropriate to our time and culture, to the specific site and to the needs of its inhabitants. \n\nEach design must balance a variety of competing demands: spaciousness vs costs, openness vs privacy, ease of construction vs structural integrity, and other similar challenges.\n\nAs a result of successfully resolving these demands, Keding�s designs uniquely fulfill their owners� desires while maintaining quiet consonance with their natural surroundings. An atmosphere of sophisticated repose suffuses these homes. Fine materials and refined detailing complete an environment singularly sympathetic to the lives sheltered in the building.\n\nEvery project is personally designed by Richard Keding who also carefully reviews all work under construction. He is usually assisted in the preparation of construction drawings and specifications by other architects as needed. Ancillary services such as structural engineering, surveys, cost estimates, energy regulation compliance reports, landscaping design, lighting design, and geotechnical investigations are customarily secured from prequalified consultants. \n\nDigital technology in combination with a network of professional associates enables the firm to serve clients regardless of geographical location. Richard Keding is a registered architect in the state of California, and in 1984 was granted certification by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards.\n\nTo review recent work of the firm, please click on the link to MY WEBSITE above.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

A few hours for inspection, with a detailed report following in a week.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
