Not having a general contractor in place, I needed someone that was easy to work with, and of course delivered quality work at the right price.  I purchased an Angie's List deal from TMCM for complete interior repainting, and prior to the paint job, I included them on 1 of 3 estimates I farmed out for extensive repairs to the interior walls (mostly plaster, some drywall) that were torn up from replacing the electrical system, and general old age (cracking) .  TMCM proposed a very fair price for the wall repairs, so I hired them as well for the additional work.

The end result was fantastic - I feel like I have a new house on the interior.  Plaster repair was top-notch, and the paint job was great too.  For all the little "things" (requests) that pop up in the course of an extensive renovation, TMCM was easy to work with and for all these reasons, I'll recommend them to anyone, and keep their number for future work.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

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.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
