"My wife and I bought the worst house on the block - literally, a house from h***, whose owners hadn't maintained it in 20 years - and NE Renovations has transformed it into the nicest house on the block. Richard and his NE team have literally done everything - new exterior walls, new interior walls, plumbing, heating, electrical, hardwood floors, all new plumbing & heating, windows, custom kitchen & bath, cathedral ceilings, roof, gutters, all new plaster & paint, not drywall like other contractors use and even a new basement remodel where we entertain our friends now. Not only did NE renovations build everything on time and on budget, but he also let us know if they found any unanticipated problems that would cause changes in timeline or budget so that we could make a decision in advance as to whether we wanted to make this change or not. Richard always gave us different alternatives to any situation, and gave us terrific advice as to which approach he would take. Unbelievably, he also threw in a range of items (be the extra cedar for our master closet or extra sheer walls even when the structural engineer didn't put this on the structural plan) at NO COST to us. I have never heard of another contractor doing something like that. Richard also took care of all the permit issues and with their great track record of doing work in the city of Newport they never had one violation and the project moved smoothly. Before I hired NE Renovations, we checked references: Richard gave us 10 numbers, I spoke with 7 (who were all glowing), and then 2 more took the time to call us back to provide references. That means a lot to us - and now that we've worked with the guys at NE Renovations we understand exactly why. Richard and his men are a man of their word, NE Renovations is experienced, reliable, and drama-free. We have already recommended them to our friends who also love them as much as we do, and we would definitely use NE Renovations services in the future, with out a doubt. I hope you use him too. This was the best $85,000.00 we ever spent!!"

"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

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
All foundations have footers, including monolithic slabs. In some cases, the foundation itself acts as the footer, as in the case of a floating slab and a monolithic slab. With a monolithic slab, the footers—which are just the bottom-most portion of the foundation that distributes loads down to stable soil—are a part of the main slab and are constructed with a single pour.
Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.
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.
In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.
Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds.
Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:
Full home inspection: $350–$1,000
Foundation: $300–$800
Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000
Roof: $150–$600
Chimney: $200–$500
