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."

Customers say: Terrific value

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"

Welcome! Kellar Associates is an innovator in residential construction we are changing how business gets done. As a General Contractor we are the organizer and leader of a great team. Successful projects are measured on a macro level and a micro level with pre-planning and managing details to ensure a clear path. Our commitment to give our customers a good experience is our most valuable asset. Each house gets our special brand of two guarantees 1( We commit to treat your house the way we would treat our own home giving the same pride of craftsmanship 2( We will do our best work every time. Yes! You will find it written into our contract. In every project there are only three essential elements schedule, cost, and quality. Typically the owner has determined what priority these elements are to be considered by competing General contractors when bidding a project usually with quality as the unintended third consideration. 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

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

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.

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.
