"Aaron was timely in response and was quick to schedule an inspection. Willing to travel and very reasonable in price even with the travel expense added in. I would recommend Aaron for verifying the structural soundness of a foundation and will definitely keep his name in my list of preferred business professionals to work with."

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

"He is a brilliant architect. I live in an old home which is always tricky. He designed our master bedroom in a 90 year old house in a way that didn't need any major structural changes. It looked as though the house was originally made for that design! The design he came up with also included everything down to the last detail. He does quality work and the guys he works with clean up after themselves. In the beginning of each project he extrapolates what it is that you are looking for. He doesn't try to push his latest design on you. His focus is solely on what each customer wants and he is very open minded to the taste of each client. He is incredibly efficient and I have never seen anybody work the way he does. Trent is very good at avoiding mistakes and his communications skills are excellent. He is very knowledgeable in his field, and because of that he completes projects very quickly and delivers high quality results. It is fun working with Trent because he makes it easy!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Their expertise in identifying potential problems early and implementing durable solutions safeguards your home’s integrity.
