At LEVEL, we are committed to common sense, real-world solutions. We pioneered LEVEL because, after years spent exploring all disciplines of civil and structural engineering in the building industry, we continually encountered the missing fundamentals in our own trade. These lost elements of service culture & exceptional business practice inevitably cost owners & entities untold stress and frustration; contractors lost time & money, realtors & lenders were left unable to satisfy their client's needs. We concluded that our capacity for A&E services could function at a higher level, thus, LEVEL Engineering & Inspections was founded. We serve your interests & provide knowledgeable, expert design, inspections, analysis, forensics, recommendations, and reporting. Whether your need is for permitting, forensics; new, remodel, or repair engineering designs; foundation problems; civil or architecture - let us help you navigate your Civil, Commercial, Residential Structural Engineering needs.

"Gang is super. He’s very knowledgeable and personable. He talking through all my questions and concerns and helped me sort through all the details to arrive at a well reasoned conclusion for what needs to be done next."

Harmon Home Inspections is locally owned and operated. We service Sacramento and the Bay Area. We use National Association of Certified Home Inspector standards while providing digital E-reports. We use infrared technology on every inspection at no additional charge. Infrared is non-intrusive and allows us to see behind walls to find plumbing leaks, roof leaks, missing insulation, electrical hot spots and more. Harmon Home Inspections uses the state-of-the-art Home Gauge computer system which allows us to include color digital photos of your house in your inspection report. Harmon Home Inspection's E-Reports are available to our Clients and their Realtor within one business day of the inspection. Your inspection report is available to you 24/7 and can be printed and viewed as many times as necessary. All reports are password protected so that you can control access to your report. A Harmon Home Inspection is an excellent tool for you, the home buyer, to help determine not only the condition of the home, but to help foresee any immediate, unnecessary additional repairs that may go unnoticed without the help of a home inspection. Home inspections are not necessarily a prediction of future performance, but can point out existing problem areas and make "Improvement Recommendations." An inspection typically takes about 2 to 3 hours in most cases, which also includes answering your questions on site. The times may vary depending on the size, age, and the condition of the home. Harmon Home Inspections recommends and welcomes you to be present during the inspection, we will answer questions during the inspection as well as explain all of our findings to you and your Realtor at the end. Harmon Home Inspections performs home inspections 7-days a week. We also provide short-notice-inspections at no additional charge.

"Amazing. We had our realtor set up the inspection. Rob was incredibly thorough and explained everything in a way that I was able to understand (as someone with -3 experience in how a house is built, this was so useful.) We were able to take all of his notes and explanations and with the help of our realtor, our request for repairs received 0 push back because we were able to substantiate the requests with the information given to us by Rob. He was incredibly friendly."

What do you think of when you imagine your newly remodeled or custom-built home? Dinners around the family table. Soaking in the tub. Watching a movie in your cozy den. Entertaining with good friends on the deck. Whatever you envision, we can help you get there. We’ll handle the nails and wires and paint. And turn your dreams into reality. At Luxcess Home by SOD Builders, we take pride in crafting beautiful homes that will stand the test of time. It’s this excitement and commitment to excellence in every phase of the process that has made Luxcess Home by SOD one of the leaders in high quality home construction and renovation. We stay at the forefront of building technology, using the newest and most advanced building materials to ensure longevity, energy efficiency, and comfort. And what happens three years from now, when your new puppy chews up some custom cabinets? No problem, we keep a complete database of your project so it’s easy to look up paint colors or building materials down the line. We believe remodeling a home should be an exciting and joyful process, not a stressful one. That’s why great customer service is the centerpiece of everything we do. Life’s too short for flaky contractors who let projects drag on forever and go over budget. We’re always available for client questions, we provide accurate and fair estimates, we complete work on-time, and we maintain as clean and quiet a job site as possible. It’s our mission to make your experience both pleasant and rewarding. Leave the drama for those reality home makeover shows on TV.

"We had a really great time working with Oren and Michale. From the first time we talked to them to the very end, they were super good at what they do. T hey changed our old-looking house into a new, nice one that feels really welcoming. Our project included complete home remodeling, new roof, solar panels, new elevations for exterior walls, landscaping and hardscaping work. They did a very, very good job making everything look perfect and paying attention to every little thing. I think everyone should use them for their house!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

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

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.
