"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."

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!"

Fred, the owner refused to give me measurements that he claims were written in his drawing and then called me to tell me it's not his job to give me the measurements.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

Yes, water damage can affect your walls' structural integrity. If the water or moisture sits on the walls for an extended period, it can weaken the drywall, plaster, wood framing, and other materials supporting the wall. That's why it's critical to dry out the area as soon as you notice it.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Because of their composite structure, cutting or drilling LVL beams can compromise their integrity. We strongly advise contacting a general contractor or structural engineer before making any alterations to LVL beams. Professionals can also answer questions about choosing between a pier and beam versus slab foundation when designing your project.

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.
