"In summary I have to say Richard was  excellent!  He came when he said he would and finished the work when he said it would be finished.  As I solicited multiple bids for the work NE Renovations was among the most competitive.  As the work was completed I was so pleased I ended requesting he come back to do additional jobs.  He was very accomadating and even explained various options on how best to accomplish the additional work.

"The initial work was done as scheduled.  Holes were drilled in the floor where the slab had dropped and a concrete slurry was pumped, under pressure raising the affected areas.  At a point the slurry being pumped into one hole would start to come out of nearby holes.  The mechanic told me this was as much as they could do.  He, and his assistant cleaned up and left.
I was not satisfied since the floor had been raised only about halfway.
I contacted the office and they sent an individual to check the job.  He agreed that it was not satisfactory and assured me that the mechanic would be able to complete the job once the initial slurry had cured. 
Several days later the workers returned and told me that their instructions were to complete the job and not to leave until I was satisfied.
They were able to complete the job to my satisfaction.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

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)

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

Costs depend on unit complexity, labor, wall mounting needs, and additional accessories like floating shelves.
