"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."

"Choosing Rose de Nola for our room addition and bath remodel was the best decision we've ever made concerning our home. We got their name from a friend who had used them to build a loft on their garage. Our project started by converting two bedrooms to a second master suite with a bathroom and renovating an existing bathroom. . We weren't quite sure what we wanted. We had limited space and we needed someone who could "think outside the box." We met with several other contractors, but when Jordan shared his vision for our project, we knew we had truly found someone with a gift. We were amazed with the attention to detail, his ability to finish on time, and his willingness to stay within our budget. They attended to our project as if they were working on their home. The designer was especially concerned with making the new addition fit architecturally with the pre-existing 15 year old structure. During the 10 month project, our project manager was either on site or just a phone call away. You could tell that he had put tremendous effort into building relationships with sub-contractors who could meet his expectations. It's been two years since our project was finished. I can still pick up the phone and call Jordan for anything. Within two rings, he is ready to personally handle a warranty issue or stop by to tighten the hinges on a door. That's why I'm always happy to provide a review for them. We've never had that kind of service and care from anyone we've worked with. Someday, I'm going to buy a piece of land and build a brand new home. Rose de Nola will handle everything when that happens."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

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.

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.
