"Luis drafted the plans to extend our back wall and kept us apprised at every step along the way. Has a solid relationship with the builder which makes everything go more smoothly. We've asked Luis to draft the plans for a second addition as well, once the wall project is completed."

"I couldn?t be happier with the architectural rendering services I received from MAJ Engineering. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded all my expectations. The team took my vision and brought it to life with stunning detail and accuracy. Every rendering was crisp, realistic, and beautifully captured the essence of the design. What impressed me most was their responsiveness and commitment to quality. They listened closely to my ideas, made thoughtful suggestions, and delivered on time?even ahead of schedule. It's clear they take great pride in their work, and it absolutely shows in the final product. If you're looking for top-tier architectural rendering that blends creativity with technical excellence, MAJ Engineering is the team to go with. I?m beyond satisfied and will absolutely be working with them again!"

"My need was for a professional structural engineer to assess problems with settlement at my house. I called three structural engineers to arrange an inspection; Mr. Cueto's office was the only one where the phone was promptly answered. An appointment was squeezed in for me the next day, due to an already arranged inspection in my area. Mr. Cueto arrived on time and spent several hours conducting a meticulous inspection and taking pictures. He looked everywhere, including the attic. He answered my questions clearly and concisely. I learned more from his description of the situation than I have in several months of having estimates made and trying to research this issue. The news was not good, but his report suggested detailed options for repair. Most importantly, I did not spend tens of thousands of dollars on proposals for repair that would only have solved a small part of the problem. Very grateful for his expertise, his clear explanations, and his help."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.
