"I got fined because a Rock Wall contractor messed me up by telling me a permit was not needed so I had to pay a big fine. A friend recommended Aaron Shimizu Architecture company who was quite knowledgeable. Aaron was quite easy to talk to and made me relax by explaining the process he was quite knowledgeable He explained the steps and started the process for the new permit very quickly and as we progressed his staff kept me in the loop. I became very relaxed because of his experience. I got my legal permit after the process was finished. If I have any problems again I will definitely call Aaron he is a smart man."

"Carlos was very professional when he came to do the site visit. We went over details over my small project. He submitted his proposal the next day. Only reason I didn t select him was his price was almost triple the amount of the other five proposals I received, for the same work. Now only time will tell if it was the correct decision, but based on how small my job is, I felt it wasn t worth the price proposed. I think his price is more for commercial projects. Good luck!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

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.
