"Our home sits above a huge retaining wall that was at risk of collapse. We had been misled by a fraudulent engineer’s letter claiming the previous repairs were done to spec when they were not. Many firms refused to take on the job due to the scale, tight access, and complexity. This was closer to a highway project than a residential one. AJA Engineering, especially Aboud and Amanda, stepped in when no one else would. They designed an eighty foot by twenty foot recon block wall, engineered carbon fiber reinforcement for a second wall, helped us hire the right contractors, and stayed with us every single day from start to finish. They adapted quickly when excavation uncovered new constraints, always focusing on safety, feasibility, and structural integrity. Their professionalism, expertise, and kindness were exceptional. We were so satisfied that we expanded their role into broader project management. We would hire them again in a heartbeat. Eleven out of ten. Highly recommended."

Building projects are rarely stress free. They can be more involved and complex than expected, often leading to confusion and frustration. We know. We've been there ourselves. We have houses and families. We've built additions for in-law apartments and removed bearing walls to make our kitchens bigger. We've had water in our basements, built and re-built decks, repaired retaining walls and and renovated old properties. We know what building projects can be like because we've done them too. Our goal is to provide our clients with step by step, start to finish engineering guidance that results in peace of mind and confidence in a job done right. We take great pride and care in working to understand the needs and expectations of our individual clients, and bringing our experience and expertise to bear on their specific, nuanced needs. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job. Call us today - we're here to help!

"Their service was excellent. They came out to our western mass region from the Boston area- unusual .....we usually get the cold shoulder from Boston. Even several local engineers turned us down. The structure is an 1885 church and a structural report was required from the local building department. They were very professional, quoted a price, made the trip and wrote up an encouraging and positive report. We have been fundraising since then to continue the restoration. Thank you Veritas!"

Flynn Roofing Co. was established in 1997 by Stephen Flynn. We are a small family-operated company that specializes in residential and commercial roofing, both asphalt shingles and rubber roofing. Some of our non-residential customers have included a nursing home, motel, town hall building, condo associations, a Mason lodge, and multiple office buildings. Our goal is to provide our customers with outstanding customer service and complete satisfaction. We pledge to return every phone call in a timely manner and address every question completely. We have an extensive listing of references showing our satisfied customers. We are not satisfied with your job until you are satisfied. We serve the Greater Boston area, the South Shore and Metro West. We are fully insured, including workers compensation and we use absolutely NO subcontractors, which is almost unheard of in this industry. The company you hire to do your job will be the company that arrives at your home. We pledge to install your roof as quickly as possible, while maintaining our strict quality standards. We work on one roof at a time and will be at your home daily (weather permitting) until your roof is completed. We work in an efficient and orderly manner, leaving your yard as we found it at the start of the job (some customers have said even better!). Flynn Roofing Co. is a Certainteed Select Shingle Roofer company, enabling us to offer our customers who choose Certainteed shingles a five-star warranty. This warranty includes a 15 or 20 year workmanship guarantee, along with the standard materials warranty. We purchase this warranty for ALL of our customers. We are also a GAF Authorized Installer. We are a proud member of the Northeast Roofing Contractors Association and the Better Business Bureau. We have had 0 complaints reported to the Better Business Bureau since we joined on 1/4/05.

"What I thought was going to be a painful process turned into a pleasant experience. Mr. Flynn was very timely in giving me a quote, supplying information about the materials, paperwork such as insurance certificate , and not subbing out the job. Mr. Flynn's crew was here at 7:50 AM. Stopped for lunch at 11:30 returned to work promptly at 12:30 and was finished with the job by 3. They were all very professional and courteous. The clean up was impeccable. Mr. Flynn and his crew know how to run a business. Kudos to Robyn too for all her help. Great Company!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.

Hiring a structural engineer costs about $550 on average. However, prices range from as low as $200 up to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge by project, hourly, or by the square footage, making it important to understand how your chosen engineer structures their estimates. Additional cost factors include project type, the scope of work, the size of the project, and your geographic location.

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. 

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.
