"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!"

"Nelson was very professional and direct. He responded quickly, made an appointment at a convenient time for us and, was prompt. While thoroughly going over each of our structural concerns, Nelson offered advice on our project and on how best to proceed with the work we wanted to have done. We will consult Bernardo Engineering for our next project, for sure"

"We started with a handyman company, but when the job proved too much for his level of expertise, we had him just tear down the current porch and turned to a real construction company to do the rebuild.  Their recommendation that we hire a civil engineer to design the mechanics of the buttressing work was their best advice.  We are now confident that this house will last for more generations.

"Overall our experience with Steve and his crew were great. Not only does our attic look great on the outside, the structures underneath are high quality. The new insulation is better quality and the replaced framing and floors makes the structure sturdier. In fact, it’s so well insulated that the attic is now 90% sound proof and the temperature doesn’t change regardless of the outside temperature.  I was also very impressed with the fact that Steve never cut corners. For instances, we ran into an unforeseen issue of mold. Steve didn’t just cover up the problem and move on. He insured us that the problem was fixed (created ridge vents) and the mold was removed (this entailed replacing insulation and floors).  We did have an issue with one of Steve’s subcontractors but Steve made it up to us by offering his services to replace our rotted trim on our dormers. The value of the work was more than the work lost from his subcontractor. In addition, due to a valid reason, Steve had to put the project on hold for a few weeks but once the problem was resolved he continued his work and finished our attic that exceeded our expectations. Throughout the project Steve and his crew were professional and always kept us informed."

"The contractors quickly responded to our inquiry. And the leading engineer is very experienced. She walked through the house with us listened carefully of our concerns. She came up with repair solutions right at the spot and discussed with us all the options for each solution. And later she gave us a price well within our budget. All works were done within three weeks from the first walk through. The lead engineer kept us updated about the working progress almost daily.  She replied to our questions even during the weekends. So overall, it is job well done!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.

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.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.
