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."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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)

All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.
