"Tony was able to perform an analysis and recommendation in about 20 minutes. After scheduling the date of the visit, he kept in contact to let me know exactly when he would arrive. He was thorough, surveying the structure from the attic to the foundation. He was able to accept my Visa card on site. The charge was under $400, but typically one may find competitors charging a bit more. A report was emailed the following day."

"I had a great experience working with Omid Gharavi of OGV Structural Engineering for structural engineering permit services for my home in Baltimore. He was knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The drawings he prepared and stamped, along with the engineering letter, were approved by the county without issue, allowing me to move forward with my home project. I truly appreciate his expertise and would highly recommend his services."

"My experience with Kapital Drafting has been nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the entire process of designing and executing our home addition, deck, and patio was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. Gary, the company's owner, is a consummate professional who made every step of the way feel like a breeze. From the moment we first approached Kapital Drafting, Gary took the time to understand our vision and goals for the project. He then expertly translated those ideas into detailed drawings and 3D renderings, which truly brought our ideas to life. It was evident that Gary's expertise in architecture and design was second to none, as the quality of his work was remarkable. The process of obtaining county approval for the project can often be daunting, but with Gary's help, drawings were approved without any issues. This was a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and compliance with building codes that Gary and his team adhere to. Throughout the construction phase, Gary maintained excellent communication with both us and our contractors. He consistently addressed any concerns that arose and offered valuable suggestions to ensure the best possible outcome. His collaborative approach allowed us to work together seamlessly, resulting in a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The final result of our home addition, deck, and patio is stunning. It has transformed our outdoor living space into an oasis that our family is enjoying daily and will continue to do for years to come. Kapital Drafting's combination of exceptional design skills, customer service, and a keen understanding of the building process made our experience an unforgettable one. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Kapital Drafting for anyone seeking architectural services for their home improvement projects. Our experience with Gary and his team was truly excellent, and we have no doubt that they will deliver the same level of satisfaction to future clients."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

"We are a commercial business located in Georgetown Washington DC. We hired Aaron to help us acquire a floor plan and site plan. Not only did Aaron provide quality work, he responded to our messages/emails right away and he completed our drawings before the deadline we needed them by. It was very refreshing to have an overall positive experience doing business with this company! Thank you again."

"I came to Melissa & Bluehouse a number of years ago as I couldn't visualize the layout to accomplish my goals in what began as a kitchen remodel. Melissa's impeccable handling of my project from the word "go" is nothing but an understatement! Each and every detail I listed from want's & desires to fears & concerns were addressed. Living up to her word every step of the way, Melissa addressed my list while pointing out elements I hadn't thought of. She was aware of my limits and not only kept her bottom line under control, but she didn't design anything out of our budget. Considering we were on track to break ground in the spring of 2020, when Covid hit & supply chains derailed our start, Melissa was poised to do whatever needed to be done. In the end, rising costs & limited supply led us to delay construction until Jan. '23. As a TV news producer, I'm a tough cookie, and yet when I had questions, Melissa answered them honestly and often with visuals to help me understand what I needed to learn. I appreciated her teamwork attitude when working with the Structural Engineers let alone my amazing contractor! Melissa's perfectionism is the reason not one single measurement needed to be modified in what became not just a kitchen remodel, but a 1st-floor remake with our addition going both upstairs & down. When you consider who to hire, consider this, as a newswoman, I interview 3 people for every job, I don't cut corners and nothing gets swept under the rug. Melissa is THAT kind of pro! She is going to do right by you, because she knows what is at stake, and she is only going to put her name on something she stands behind. For that, and a million little reasons, without question, if I had another project, I'd hire her in a heartbeat!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.
