"No they were not what I expected they were supposed to level out my driveway and sidewalk and they didn't do a very good job and they were supposed to come out and fix what they f. ed up and I have not seen them yet I spent 4,000.00$ and I will have to replace everything."

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."

Fusion Merchant specializes in structural steel. However, we love smaller projects that include: beautiful furniture, custom handrails, tools and jigs, and art projects. With just my Dad and I running the shop, you can guarantee you have our undivided attention. We have the flattest fixture table on earth which means your project will be absolutely flat and square. After welding and fabricating for 3 years with some of the best fabricators I have met, I decided to open this shop with my dad. We are continuing to grow and I am looking to hire some close friends and family in the future. Craftsmanship can be taught and I plan on keeping that our number one priority.

"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

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.
