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."

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.

"I wanted to echo some other reviews on here; do not give any money to this crook. I hired Dan for some engineering work for an addition to my house. He came out for the initial consultation and seemed nice enough, but didn't take a single note of what we talked about. The contract said he'd have the initial drawings done in 4 weeks. Finally 3 months and many unanswered emails/calls later he finally delivered some drawings that were so far off the mark from what we discussed I was actually embarrassed for him. I once again went over the details of what I was looking for and he said he'd make the changes. At this point he completely ghosted me and didn't respond to any of my contact attempts. I finally had to submit a credit card charge back to get my money back from this low life. TLDR: Dan Canda is an absolutely worthless individual and will try to steal your money. DO NOT USE!"

"Greg was absolutely great----arrived early, incredibly professional, and found several things I suspect a lot of other competitors would have missed which were very much appreciated. The inspection went fast, but nothing was missed. This guy obviously knows his stuff, and we've already recommended him to a neighbor considering selling and buying a new house too. Again, great guy, highly professional and knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. A+++ Scott Hoffman"

"Van Matre was truly outstanding from start to finish. Brady gave us an honest assessment of our situation and a number of reasonable options to choose from. He taught us a lot about foundations, and spent lots of time with us as we tweaked and tuned the plan. They were able to get us on their schedule fairly quickly, and they finished the job in about a week, which I thought was amazing. Willis, who led the crew, was super nice. He recognized our interest in the details of what they were working on, and kept us informed the whole way through. Joel, Wheelz and Adam were awesome too. They cranked through the work and left our finished basement just as clean as they found it."

Kellar Associates has changed the way residential construction gets done. We have formed relationships with subcontractors that share our beliefs of doing our best work every time and living inside of budgets. It is ok to not look at the individual profitability of a project when you know that it varies, but because the subs work together on all of our projects everything balances throughout the year. By working with these type of personnel it is easy to say that the price doesn’t matter if the quality isn’t there and that is how we start all of our relationships. We don’t believe in change orders unless the owner requested a change. Sometimes it is unavoidable to change your mind as your dreamy project gets closer to being a reality. We take a great interest in our customers to protect you from unforeseen circumstances when possible and to give information of unintended consequences when making your owners typical decisions such as finishes or changes.

RMG - Rocky Mountain Group was originally founded in 1986 by John P. Clarke, P.E. as a Structural and Civil Engineering firm. Our first office was located in Colorado Springs, at the base of beautiful Pikes Peak Mountain in Colorado. In 1988 the firm added geotechnical services through a merger with a local Geotechnical company. With the recent acquisition of Colorado Engineering & Geotechnical Group in 2010, three branch offices were added in Teller County, Douglas County and North El Paso County, Colorado. The Douglas County office was soon expanded into the Denver area. Our additional acquisition of Total Engineering Services (TES) added a Northern Colorado office. This completed our expansion along the entire Front Range. Our staff of professional engineers, geologists, designers, technicians, CAD operators and administrative personnel has the most versatile experience and expertise in the state. These professionals are involved in the community at all levels, including professional organizations, technical groups, governmental committees, and industry associations. With constant change and innovation in the industry, we emphasize continuing education of our staff so our clients can count on our reliable expertise. Our client base continues to grow each year with our commitment to the true needs of our clients.

"Ryan has inspected our homes for purchase and sale over the past few years. Not only is he thorough in his inspection, he is honest and transparent. He saved us from what would have been a major headache of a home purchase. During his visits he also provides lots of advice on how to perform water mitigation (the enemy of all foundations) and provided insight on the structural nature and integrity of the home we're purchasing. The piece of mind of having an engineer inspect your house is worth the cost, and Ryan is especially great to work with. Cannot recommend him enough! Thanks Ryan!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

A structural engineer’s report includes a professional assessment of a property’s foundation condition, structural elements like roof trusses and floor joists, and the skeleton of the home, including studs, beams, and rafters. It will also usually include an assessment of drainage on the property and any potential issues that could arise from environmental conditions, like extreme weather in the area and even tree placement.
