Customers say: Super punctual

"Martin and Jake are the absolute best to work with. They were thorough, efficient, professional and so easy to work with for our basement structural work. They took time to explain what needed to be done, coordinated with different contractors (plumbing, electrical), and were able to complete our project on time while we were out of town for just a week(!!). I can't recommend Great Lakes Builders more - they were a pleasure to work with and we will absolutely be using them again for any future work we need. 5+ stars!"

"Bill was able to come out within 4 days of my initial call. He was punctual and able to quickly identify the cracks as shrinkage and not any structural settling issues. He charges $400 for an inspection and $650 if you want a written report. We were fine with just a verbal since there were no problems. Pricey for 20minutes worth of work, but we're glad for the piece of mind. Everything went smooth."

"I had purchase the $1399 Deal to have paver stone patio installed in the back yard. Working with Maria, I decided to expand from 10x20 space to cover the entire width of my garage.  The additional price quoted was fair.  Because I purchased the service in October 2013, the weather was changing and the window of opportunity to install was small. Nevertheless, Maria and her crew were able to install the patio within 3 days (1 day had rain). 
The crew arrived promptly,  were courteous and were professional.  Maria remained on site supervising the work. I am please with the patio and plan to use the company for future landscaping project.

"Seasonal Landscape Solutions deserves a higher rating than "Very Good"--a rating of EXCEPTIONAL and more. The new installation of brick steps, walkway, and front porch area of our house reflects outstanding workmanship and is absolutely beautiful, along with the repair work done on our brick backyard patio. In addition, our yard, flower beds, and "wild" areas now have a cleaner look (no more poison oak!). With unsurpassed customer service, asking questions and listening to what the customer wants, as well as offering suggestions, recommendations, and ideas for the project, I highly recommend them -- and will most definitely call them again!"

"My husband and I are very happy with our bathroom and hallway, both projects recently completed by Tom's teams (Modern Home Remodelers). The crew was timely, clean, and all the work was done within our original budget. Additionally, MHR accommodated our busy schedules and was able to reschedule last minute. 
Though we had an idea of what we wanted in mind, Tom helped up to realize our vision. The bathroom was renovated into a monochromatic, modern design, with a tiled-in tub, double-vanity and brushed nickel fixtures. 
The crew ensured the space was kept clean. During the remodeling phase the crew rid the bathroom of dust, and at project end, ensured the space was free of debris and other left-overs. I highly recommend Modern Home Remodelers. Ask for Tom."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

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.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.
