"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"

"My wife and I bought the worst house on the block - literally, a house from h***, whose owners hadn't maintained it in 20 years - and NE Renovations has transformed it into the nicest house on the block. Richard and his NE team have literally done everything - new exterior walls, new interior walls, plumbing, heating, electrical, hardwood floors, all new plumbing & heating, windows, custom kitchen & bath, cathedral ceilings, roof, gutters, all new plaster & paint, not drywall like other contractors use and even a new basement remodel where we entertain our friends now. Not only did NE renovations build everything on time and on budget, but he also let us know if they found any unanticipated problems that would cause changes in timeline or budget so that we could make a decision in advance as to whether we wanted to make this change or not. Richard always gave us different alternatives to any situation, and gave us terrific advice as to which approach he would take. Unbelievably, he also threw in a range of items (be the extra cedar for our master closet or extra sheer walls even when the structural engineer didn't put this on the structural plan) at NO COST to us. I have never heard of another contractor doing something like that. Richard also took care of all the permit issues and with their great track record of doing work in the city of Newport they never had one violation and the project moved smoothly. Before I hired NE Renovations, we checked references: Richard gave us 10 numbers, I spoke with 7 (who were all glowing), and then 2 more took the time to call us back to provide references. That means a lot to us - and now that we've worked with the guys at NE Renovations we understand exactly why. Richard and his men are a man of their word, NE Renovations is experienced, reliable, and drama-free. We have already recommended them to our friends who also love them as much as we do, and we would definitely use NE Renovations services in the future, with out a doubt. I hope you use him too. This was the best $85,000.00 we ever spent!!"

"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

Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

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.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

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.
