"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

Shenandoah Design is a residential design firm specializing in quality custom designs to meet our clients' needs. \n\nAt the heart of Shenandoah Design is attention to detail and a passion for fine craftsmanship, both old and new. Whether an historic renovation, a sensitive modern addition or new construction, we want our designs to be user-friendly and enjoyed for years to come. It's our belief that good design translates to the best investment of your time and money. \n\nShenandoah Design is owned and operated by Gerald Forsburg, principal designer. Gerald has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Catholic University of America.

This experience has proven to be invaluable for our clients: having an excellent understanding of the public process saves tons of time and money by lessening the need for revision after revision to please public officials, and by providing stronger negotiations at the start of a project. \n\nGerald won the Catholic University of America School of Architecture's "Place for an Object" design competition in 1995, the winning entry of which is to be built on campus. \n\nWhatever your design needs are, Shenandoah Design would love the opportunity to provide you, the client, with the choices to make informed decisions, and work together to build your dreams.\n\n\n \n

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Indications include cracks in walls, uneven floors, and sticking doors or windows that suggest foundation movements.

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.

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.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.
