J2.26 Engineering provides structural engineering inspection, design, and advice. We pride ourselves in providing these services with a personal manner for a reasonable cost. J2.26 can provide consultations in new build construction projects, remodels to homes, and Real Estate transactions.

"Unfortunately, our experience with Dan was about as bad as it could be. We were given a timeline of 5 weeks in mid February and, after months of ignored emails, finally received drawings in mid-June, 17 weeks later. Once submitted for permitting, the county realized that the snow load information was incorrect and rejected the plans. Frustrating to say the least. In discussing the requisite changes over the phone, Dan seemed unaware of fairly standard industry terms in residential construction (rake wall, difference between ceiling joist and roof rafter, cut roof vs truss, etc) which made us uncomfortable, to say the least. Keep in mind, this is after months of radio silence and considering we'd have to start from scratch with another engineer. Things were discussed three, four times and necessary changes still not made. Fortunately we work with our building department a lot, and these can be addressed in the field. I understand that delays happen. I understand that things can get complicated, often quickly. That said, I expect a level of professionalism, communication, and competence when paying someone for their service. You're a smart consumer and will do as you wish, but we will never, under any circumstance, be using Dan and J2.26 Engineering ever again."

For over 10 years, we've been committed to common sense, real-world engineering solutions in Colorado. We started Level because, after years in the building industry, we continued to see something missing that cost homeowners and businesses untold stress and frustration. Contractors lost time and money, and realtors and lenders could not satisfy their client's needs. We decided to do something about it, and Level Engineering was founded. We serve your interests and provide knowledgeable, expert inspection, analysis, recommendation, and reporting. Whether you need help with permits, forensics, a foundation evaluation, new or repair engineered designs, or an inspection for your peace of mind - let us help you navigate your structural engineering projects.

Daniel is committed to excellence in every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business. Due to the nature of this service and the liability involved, there is a consultation fee associated with scheduling an appointment.

"Our building hired J2.26 to conduct an engineering report, and the experience was incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Dan, the engineer, visited our property on July 17, 2024, and we paid promptly for the service. Despite that, and after at least six emails and phone calls from our property manager over the following months, we never received the report. Over a year later, on July 28, 2025, I went to their office in person to get answers. Dan was rude, dismissive, and offered no apology. His only excuse was that the job had ?fallen through the cracks.? That level of disregard for a paid service is unacceptable. He agreed to return to our property and conduct a new scan at no additional charge, which he did the next day. While we finally received a report on August 19, 2025, it still did not include the original report we had paid for in 2024. The lack of communication, professionalism, and accountability from J2.26 is baffling. I would not recommend this company to anyone."

"Tony has not honored our agreement. I hired him to draw a new sewer pipe connection, 6 months ago, he told me it would take 3 to 4 weeks. I still do not have an acceptable drawing. Extremely disappointed with the unprofessional performance. Refuses to return calls or emails or produce usable drawings. Just has his assistant continue to make excuses because they cannot get the work done. Hire someone else that has integrity if you need any engineering done. Will be seeking legal action to get my money back."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.
