"I made the big mistake of giving Bento interior work on my house. at first I liked them, but then they caused a major accident with a pipe leak. I forgave them and we continued, only to discover significant problems with shoddy carpentry, unlevel tubs, things not done to code. Clayson was constantly hounding me for payments on incomplete work. I would only trust this company with exterior work, even then you must check everything!!! I've worked with Fernando and Rafael in the past on exterior jobs and patios and they were very easy to work with and professional. This time I hired Clayson for interior work and it was a disaster. It cost me a significant amount of time, money, and labor to fix the problems they left me with with zero apology. Another incident we had was a loose toilet they installed, when I tried to contact the owner to work out a solution, he said "I'm not happy with you and your small complaints". This company lacks the integrity and honesty you'd expect when you're trusting a contractor with your house. What a shame! ***Problems included uneven walls, unlevel tubs, leaky pipes and drains, unsecure toilets, very bad carpentry, loose flooring, code non-compliant electrical work, and shoddy masonry...***"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

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.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.
