Customers say: Super punctual

"Great Lakes Builders saved my home! After extensively researching the issue, I was referred to Great Lakes by a colleague in the insurance industry. I contacted the firm, met with Martin and Mike and instantly felt confident in their ability to do the work. It was not an easy project, the home had to be raised and supported, a new foundation dug and poured. The foundation walls were replaced and the house was set back on the foundation. The home is 120 years old with all plaster walls. What amazed me was how carefully they worked and when it was finished, not one crack! They are true craftsmen and experts in this field. They are punctual, the work site was kept neat and clean and they kept me informed every step of the way. Most importantly, they are concerned with safety. They don’t take short cuts and their structural engineer was terrific. In an old home there are always projects. I am going to use them again for some foundation work on an addition that was done to the home in the 70’s. I highly recommend this company to handle foundation and structural issues with homes."

"I would (and almost certainly will) work with AGGO again! We are buying a house and something came up where we needed a structural engineer to inspect something on very short notice. I reached out though Angi's to any company that might possibly employ structural engineers and Linda, a Structural Engineer with AGGO got back to me right away, first thing in the morning and was able to squeeze us in that very night. Linda was thoughtful and thorough. She careful looked over everything and even brought a large, bright light since it was after dark. She took her time, answered all of our questions, and gave us advice on other concerns and things to watch out for as well as reassuring us about things we didn't need to worry about in this situation. Even though she was probably working past her normal work hours to squeeze us in, nothing felt rushed or hasty."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Homeowners in Arlington Heights should follow a seasonal structural inspection routine: In spring, inspect foundations and basement walls for cracks or water intrusion; summer is ideal for checking deck supports and grading for proper drainage; fall is best for sealing exterior gaps and cleaning gutters; and in winter, monitor attic spaces for ice dams and watch for signs of roof stress from snow accumulation.

Helpful?

In Arlington Heights, structural engineering projects often address open floor plans and home additions while preserving the area’s traditional architectural styles. Engineers work closely with architects to select materials and foundation systems that accommodate the region’s clay soil and frequent freeze-thaw cycles. They also ensure that new beams or supports are discreetly integrated, maintaining both structural integrity and the home’s curb appeal.

Helpful?

Structural engineers in Arlington Heights first address urgent safety concerns like foundation settlement or severe wall cracks, which are common due to shifting clay soil. Next, they focus on code compliance and issues linked to seasonal weather, such as water intrusion or frost heave. Project scheduling considers local weather patterns and contractor availability to ensure repairs are both timely and effective.

Helpful?

In Arlington Heights, engineers often design foundations and framing with extra capacity to support future home additions or second-story expansions. They account for local zoning and lot coverage limits, ensuring future modifications remain feasible. Detailed structural drawings and load calculations are provided, making it easier for future professionals to plan expansions or foundation repairs with minimal disruption.

Helpful?

When hiring a structural engineer in Arlington Heights, prioritize professionals with proven experience in local foundation repair and structural inspection, especially for homes built on clay soil. Look for familiarity with the area’s split-level and colonial home styles, and ask about their process for navigating local permit requirements. Effective communication about project timelines and coordination with other contractors is also essential for a smooth renovation.
