"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."

"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.

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

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.

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.

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.

A few hours for inspection, with a detailed report following in a week.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
