"From the start I knew Ryan was the right person, because he called me, the only one of the engineers that actually called me. He communicated regularly, let me know straight up the results and explained it all to me. Is also willing to answer questions from my contractor."

"Dan was one of 3 engineers that I contacted for a structural change to the first floor of my residence and to the crawl space below. He was the most knowledgeable, the most reasonably priced, and promised to do the work in the most timely manner. If I could, I would give me 6 out of 5 starts for this. I read one very negative review on Angie's list along with the great reviews. I took it on myself to communicate with Dan just befor the due date for the drawings. Also, there was a small issue in one of his drawings which Dan corrected in 2 days. I can only think that the one negative review was caused by this lack of communication. An easy thing that a client can remedy for an excellent engineer."

"Lucy provided estimates, signed contracts, and completed all the work in one week. It was amazing! The new stamped-concrete patio and sidewalk are beautiful; we couldn't be happier. Our deck is larger and has a whole new look - it looks like a brand new deck! Lucy's crew got all the work done in four days, and kept us informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend her company for any home projects you are considering."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

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.

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