"Magdiel was truly a pleasure to work with and we are thoroughly grateful for his review of our home. I had many concerns and he looked at and addressed them all. He never made us feel rushed even though he came on a Saturday morning. He was even kind enough to suggest we not pay for the report as he didn't feel it was necessary. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a structural engineer."

"Highly recommend! This is the second time I hired Michael Muntean for a structural analysis of my home and recommendations for repair. My house is a long ranch-style structure built in 1990. Mr. Muntean;s first analysis focused on the flooring underneath my kitchen area, as I requested, to ensure the structure was sufficient to support my kitchen renovation plan. His second visit six years later, focused on structural repairs necessary after I'd already done a major master bath renovation on the other side of the house. Key word: after Although the contractor who came out to address the kitchen support did good work, he fell short in working on the other structural issues Mr. Muntean had pointed out under the master bath area located on the opposite side of the house. I did not notice the omissions, and it came back to haunt me after the bathroom renovation was completed last year. Lesson learned: Obtain a professional engineering analysis before you begin any work that may affect the structural integrity of your home, and make sure any contractor you hire to do the work is qualified and meets or exceeds your consultants recommendations. Without Mr. Munteans guidance, especially on this second consult, I would have paid out twice as much money on repairs recommended by a well-known foundation company without really having had the core foundation problems addressed. Mr. Munteans reports are detailed, professional and customized for you, not cookie-cutter, so it may take up to 7-10 days to receive it. During his visit he encourages you to take notes. His pricing is competitive and he has absolutely no conflict of interest because he does not do the work, and typically will not recommend contractors. He strictly represents the home owner."

"The plans I asked for were very well executed. I have not yet implemented them so do not know if they are totally usable but will alter them if necessary. It was a positive experience and work was done in a timely fashion. Very professional."

"I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for Live & Gather Co., LLC. From the very first conversation, I felt seen, heard, and understood. They didn’t just design a space, they brought my vision to life in ways I couldn’t have imagined. Every detail was thoughtful, every choice intentional, and the end result feels like home in the truest sense. Their professionalism is extraordinary, but what sets them apart is their heart. They listened with compassion, worked tirelessly within my budget, and approached every challenge with a “can do” attitude that gave me so much peace. They truly exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The value they added to my home goes beyond aesthetics; it’s about creating a space that reflects who I am and what I love. I could not have made a better choice than Live & Gather Co., LLC."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
