"Jacob Schott of Solid Framing Engineering was/is phenomenal is his support as a structural engineer. Mr. Schott listened, and heard, what the requirements were. He proposed acceptable, structurally engineered solutions in a timely, professional and thorough manner. We hired Jacob Schott of Solid Framing Engineering to aid in ensuring that residential new build actions would adhere to structural safety & longevity standards. Our requirements consisted of a rather large deck, a bridge (12?x29?) with a cover/portico section and exaggerated soffits. All these requirements were in Mid-coast Maine where significant winds, attacking from various directions, are prevalent and cause for multi-axis planning to control potential environmental considerations. Mr. Schott continued to provide engineering advice/direction after the sub contractor failed to adhere to specifications and induced the need for modified engineering solutions?even after having concluded the initial scope of work."

"I had worked with Chris on a large project before asking him to help us design our retirement home. We had some basic ideas of what we wanted and he was able take those ideas and translate them into the home in which we now live. It was important for us to have a home that would allow us to age in place and he more than met our expectations. My wife and I love our home and have no reservations in recommending him for any project. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Jim and Peggy"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Portland, document any cracks or minor settlement by photographing and measuring changes over time. For small leaks, dry the area promptly to prevent moisture damage during cold months. Safely clear heavy snow from flat roofs to reduce structural stress. Temporary bracing can be used for non-load-bearing walls, but avoid altering key supports. If you notice rapid changes or water intrusion, contact a structural assessment expert promptly.

Helpful?

Begin by reviewing local permit and code requirements early in Portland. Schedule structural engineering work between late spring and early fall to avoid weather delays. Arrange for soil testing if foundation work is involved, and check if your property has historic restrictions. Notify utility companies before excavation. Choose contractors experienced with coastal and marine environments, and confirm they carry proper insurance for shoreline or flood-prone areas.

Helpful?

In Portland, structural engineering projects benefit from materials designed for coastal weather and freeze-thaw cycles. Opt for weathering steel or galvanized steel to resist salty air, and use air-entrained concrete for durability in winter. Pressure-treated lumber rated for marine environments, stainless steel connectors, and high R-value insulation are ideal. Reinforced concrete with moisture barriers is especially effective for foundation work in Portland’s variable soils.

Helpful?

In Portland, structural assessments and engineering drawings typically require three to six weeks, factoring in permit reviews. Foundation work often takes one to three weeks, while roof or beam installations may last several days to two weeks. Large-scale renovations can extend up to six months. Weather conditions, material supply, and historic property reviews can affect timelines, especially during winter or peak construction season, so plan accordingly.

Helpful?

In Portland, address foundation settlement, roof leaks, or water intrusion before winter to prevent further damage from snow and ice. Structural issues that threaten safety or stability should be prioritized. Minor cosmetic cracks or slow settling can be monitored, but schedule major renovations for late spring through early fall. After severe storms, inspect for hidden damage and consider a timely structural assessment to ensure safety.
