"Tom at TAS Engineering was professional, friendly, helpful, patient and highly competent and efficient. He did the assessment of my attic structural issue and identified the simplest and most cost-effective solution. He ensured that my contractor did the work to his specifications and provided the certified engineering letter that all had been addressed properly. This was exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again."

"Darren was professional and courteous. He called to let us know he was running a bit late. He was great at explaining things and very thorough. He got an official report to us in a timely manner. But most importantly he assured us the house we were about to purchase was structurally sound. He even suggested ways to keep the small structural shifts in the older home from occuring."

"RES Engineering was awesome. I'm building a deck in my back yard and had done a ton of code research. I had the entire design planned out already and really just needed an engineer to tell me how deep I needed to make my footings. Through a simple phone call, RES consulted with me on how deep the footings should be as well as the live/snow load and soil assumptions that went into it. They didn't even charge me for their advice. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs some engineering support."

"Mr. Medeiros was very easy to talk to and exchange ideas. He communicated well - in person and online - and his written work was well laid out. His references were easy to get in touch with and answered all of our questions. We, in the end, went with another architect, for various small reasons. None of which were because we felt that Mr. Medeiros wouldn't provide all that we needed. It was a tough decision. If you are looking for an architect that will design your dream project thoroughly and professionally, you should take the time to meet with Mr. Medeiros."

"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."

"Michael was a great find for architectural drawings for our Pop-Top remodel. He was far more affordable than other options, and though he offers a standalone architectural design service (meaning we had to separately obtain structural engineering plans), he was extremely helpful in pointing us in all the right directions. He was responsive and patient at every step of the process, and his designs turned out great!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.

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