"David is great to work with. He is reliable and professional and delivers exactly what he promises. We are about halfway through the design process on our kitchen and 2nd floor projects and it has been much easier and less stressful thanks to David's help. We look forward to continuing working with him."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"I found working with Micheal at H2K Services money well spent. I didn't want to rush in to a high dollar project without knowing what I was really facing where my foundation was concerned. I admit I was fairly stressed when I decided I needed a structural engineer. I was very happy to have a walk-through and discussion of my property. I got an excellent overview of the structure and function of my foundation (very concise). Once completed, I received a written review and explanation in a very timely manner. I rate H2K Services as high as is possible."

"Very well. The team that did the work for us did an outstanding job and kept us in the loop throughout the whole process. They were easy to work with and the professional work was even better than we expected. High quality work for a very reasonable price. They also kept their work area reasonably clean each night they left. We would highly recommend them."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.

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)

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500
