"It went great! Mr. Kamran responded quickly and professionally to visit a property we were selling that the buyer was trying to have us concede thousands for issues that were minor. For our piece of mind we hired Mr. Ohi who providedus with a verbal assessment which was very thorough and indicated only minor repairs were needed. When we had purchased the house the settlement cracks were already there and they had not changed in 13 years. What we did not know was that those cracks should always be filled in. It was an $800-1500 repair and the buyers had been told it could be $5000-25000 by their unprofessional home inspector, exaggerating hone inspector. Having Mr. Ohi’s evaluation, which he allowed us to videotape gave us strength to negotiate from a position of power. If we were buying a home with any suspected structural issues, we would definitely call upon him again. Very reasonable, accessible and accommodating. Wish all providers could be so professional. The key with Mr. Ohi is that he isn’t in the business to offer repair services so give so you get an independent and unbiased opinion. In short he was a terrific provider. Highly recommend."

"I had a great experience working with A & A Structures LLC for the structural engineering work on my home renovation in Bethesda. They were easy to work with, extremely fast, and delivered permit-ready documents that were clearly tailored for Montgomery County DPS—right down to the correct file naming conventions, which matters more than people realize. When the county requested minor revisions, A&A responded immediately, made the updates without hesitation, and even worked directly with my developer to clarify requirements. All of this was handled under the original fee, which I felt was an excellent value. Professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with Montgomery County’s approval process—I would absolutely recommend them and would use them again without hesitation."

"Todd has been a pleasure to work with. We asked him for help in designing plans for a renovation for our 1960s home. The existing home had a one-car garage, and we wanted to expand that to a two-car garage and add an extra room for a second work-from home office, as both my husband and myself work remotely. After reviewing our lotâ s survey, it was discovered that we were too close to the property line to expand the current garage, which necessitated putting the new garage on the other side of the house. This added another layer of complexity to the project, as we now needed to incorporate the existing single-car garage space into our home as usable living area. Todd listened to our ideas for repurposing the space, and provided good recommendations of his own. As others have mentioned, he worked well with our builder and quickly answered questions from the county permit office, expediting the permit approval process. We would have no hesitation in using Todd for our next project."

I am a licensed Professional Engineer providing structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects. I work with homeowners, contractors, and design professionals to help move projects through the permit process by providing structural calculations, drawings, evaluations, and engineering letters as needed.\n\nIn-person structural inspections are available in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Remote structural consulting is available in Delaware and North Carolina.\n\nTypical projects include load-bearing wall removal, beam and header sizing, additions, decks, foundation concerns, and framing evaluations. My goal is to provide practical, code-compliant structural solutions that are clear, efficient, and tailored to the project.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

Yes, they offer plans for repairs or reinforcements to address issues.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.
