Customers say: Quality work

"Was having a potential home inspected for structural integrity. Spoke to Bob on the phone a few times. Since the home’s basement primarily consisted of a giant crawl space, I was told Don would do the job. Ultimately, the day before the scheduled inspection, I couldn’t get ahold of Don. Bob said Don was “feeling sick,” so the job was off. Frustrating, but a blessing in disguise because we ended up going with Colonial Restorations (the home was built in the 1800s). Colonial Restorations, LLC is the “go-to” for older home inspections and repairs. Tom was amazing (his son Brad is soon to take over the business)! They were both prompt, professional, and thorough. Very pleased with their work and thorough report/estimate. Colonial Restorations, LLC PO Box 868 Fiskdale, MA 01518 508-735-9900"

"After an unusual situation arose at my home, I was concerned about the possibility of structural damage caused by drilling and new construction at an adjacent lot. After receiving a recommendation for Veitas Engineers from a trusted source, I called and scheduled an appointment. I am so thankful that I did. I continue to be impressed with the amount of time that the two engineers spent at my house, closely inspecting the exterior and interior. Within days, I received a 16-page detailed report which included drawings, photographs, recommendations, and action items. I was so pleased when I saw that the action items were categorized as structural and non-structural, that is, that the engineers included items beyond my actual structural concerns. I used the report when working with a contractor to follow up on the recommendations and action items. The contractor was impressed with the quality, clarity, and scope of the report. I am so happy that I chose Veitas Engineers!"

"I found D.A.Kinsella company on HomeAdvisor and have been pleased since our first communication. I was looking to have an apartment painted ASAP, and within minutes of me submitting a search request, they called me back and scheduled a site visit with 2 hours. This was on Saturday, around 3pm. The let themselves into the unit, gave me a quote over the phone that met my criteria, and they started the job the following morning at 8am... on a Sunday! Not only that, but they worked through the evening hours and left at 10pm. They came back the following day to finish up."

"I had an experience with Neponset Valley Construction.  They did work about three years ago.  I would tell others that they're more for exterior jobs than they are interior jobs, the work is kind of shoddy.  The price was the reason we went with them. "

"Two men came to my house, on time, but seemed a little unsure of how to install a scree door.  I dont think they had experience in this kind of work.  When they left there were spare parts neatly put aside.  However the spare parts would have served a better purpose if they were on the door as they were meant to be.  The men were polite and did attempt to do their best.

"

They assigned different contractors to do the construction work. One of the contractors said that the job was too big and that they could not do it, which was fine. I respect that. The secretary stated that she would try to find other contractors to do the job. The owner came and walked through the house and we spoke about what needed to be done in the house. I did not feel confident in his contractor because he seemed that he did not know what he was doing. I wanted him to do one specific thing. The owner wanted to take down the whole wall. I just wanted to reopen a small section. I started to feel like they were pushing me. For those reasons I felt uncomfortable and did not go with them. The quote was detailed.

"These guys are great! We had our driveway expanded and needed it paved and also wanted our walkway redone. The owner John came out right away to talk and go over the project. He gave us great ideas and explained the scope of the work and have us a very reasonable price. The crew started right away and were punctual and professional. They got the work done very quickly and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Definitely recommend and would rehire."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.

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. 

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

Provides expert analysis, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.
