"Estimate was fair and very thorough. However, I would recommend "worse case scenario" being spelled out for unlevel floors and minorl slab cracking in Florida (not structural).  Cost increased 30% to address defects and ensure 10 yr guarantee.  Worth it in the long run, but was a bit of sticker shock. 
Storefront on Blanding Blvd has large selection of high quality tiles and wood floors.  Selection was quite simple once eliminations were made.
Start date delayed to week after Thanksgiving with estimate of 1 week to complete.
Actual demolition took a bit longer because old tile was difficult to remove.  Entire project took 8 work days (Mon-Fri).
Each team supervisor was professional, communicated clearly with us throughout the phase of project and ensured site clean up at end of each day. 
Crew members were excellent.
Overall, am very pleased with the work. We love our new floors!

"Warren was very nice to work with. He listened to our ideas and gave us different options to use for our addition. We were always informed about the progress of our project and his recommendation for an engineer was great. We would use his services again and would recommend his services to any having the need to hire an architect. Walter Dykes"

Structural Engineering FAQs, answered by experts

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Yes, water damage can affect your walls' structural integrity. If the water or moisture sits on the walls for an extended period, it can weaken the drywall, plaster, wood framing, and other materials supporting the wall. That's why it's critical to dry out the area as soon as you notice it.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.
