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"

"In renovating our beach cottage in Warwick, RI we found the roof needed structural work. Building inspector required a structural engineered plan. Adam was easy to communicate with. He was timely with his plan and follow up inspection. He was also available by text and phone for questions during the project. He was great to work with!"

"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!"

"Dana was great to work with. And his sub-contractors were great as well. He built our house on budget and on time. Two big factors for me. Made suggestions when asked and most of the time we used his suggestions. Very knowledgeable. I can go on and on. Great company."

"From the first contact until the final payment everything about my experience with NE Renovations was EXEMPLARY.  I have lived in different states and different countries where I have had reason to employ contractors over the years, and I can say, without a doubt, that NE Renovations are SUPERIOR in every department.  Bill, Kenny, Mark and Anthony were COURTEOUS, EFFICIENT, SKILLED CRAFTSMEN; unobtrusive while simultaneously involving me, in as much as I wanted to be involved, each step of the way; no task was too trivial or too difficult, even jobs that were challenging i.e. finding extremely hard to find no longer manufactured parts was approached and attended to with SUCCESS, ENTHUSIASM and a POSITIVE attitude.  Every job was undertaken with a SMILE and PROFESSIONALISM.  Richard consistently communicated via email and telephone throughout in a PLEASANT and PROMPT manner. Mark and Anthony removed old appliances and some hard to get rid of junk in my garage at NO EXTRA COST.  Kenny worked METHODICALLY, PROFESSIONALLY and so  QUIETLY I would forget he was there, and Bill, what a gem ! - A MASTER CRAFTSMAN who can turn his hand to any job, who begins and ends his day with a smile and a kind word.THE FINAL COST WAS AS ESTIMATED DESPITE THAT I ADDD QUITE A FEW JOBS ALONG THE WAY - AT NO EXTRA COST! The work was done in a timely manner and for the first time in my experience with contractors it was an absolute pleasure to greet this team of craftsmen each morning at 8am. I am an extremely happy customer and would highly recommend NE Renovations. The result of their efforts is apparent in my now BEAUTIFULLY and PROFESSIONALLY renovated home."

"We bought this masonry deal because when we bought our home, the inspector recommended having some brick work done to repoint our chimney.  My wife was having a difficult time scheduling so I took over the responsibility.   When I called, the woman I spoke to was friendly but after telling her the work that we wanted done, she said the deal only applied to masonry work done 8 feet or less off the ground.  She then said that she could still book the job for us but with the estimated labor, the amount of this deal would barely cover the set up time and would end up costing us a lot more out of pocket.  She gave us the option to get a refund instead and we went that route.  I'm glad she was honest and up front in giving us the heads up prior to sending someone out rather than having them come out and try to stick us with a large and unexpected bill.  While the deal wasn't what we had hoped for, we'd still consider using them in the future simply for being honest with us.

"

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.

"They were prompt and responsive. The technician came out to see the crack in our basement wall, explained to me how to remove more sheetrock so he could do the job, and made an appointment to do the repair. He was exactly on time for both the estimate and the repair. Once the repair was complete, he gave me tips on repairing the sheetrock. He also gave me the discount on my coupon even though it had expired."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A structural engineer’s report is almost always worth it, as it can help you avoid buying or overpaying for a home with structural issues. The most important thing the report does for you is provide peace of mind that you won’t have to pay thousands of dollars for structural repairs right after closing on a property.

Their expertise in identifying potential problems early and implementing durable solutions safeguards your home’s integrity.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support
