"Contacted SJW to do a structural analysis on a cantilever balcony I was adding to my home. The analysis was required by the Livingston County Building Commission. Even though I was just a homeowner and probably will never require a structural engineer in the future, Steven treated me with respect. We spent a lot of time on the phone going over my prints and options to achieve my goal. Steven was very informative and knowledgeable. What a great experience and people to work with⠦⠦ Thanks Steven!!!!!!"

"The knowledge of Mr. David Arnsdorf regarding structural engineering was excellent. He arrived on time as scheduled, which was appreciated. In fact, he accommodated me with a schedule time change with relative short notice. After agreeing on a price during the initial consultation, which was five hours at $125.00 per hour, I discovered Mr. Arnsdorf had raised the price to six hours at $125.00 per hour without any advance notice or explanation on his invoice. After several unanswered e-mails regarding the unexpected price increase, I was finally informed by Mr. Arnsdorf that the extra time charged was due to the fact that he needed the extra time to design my job, so it would be easier for me complete the work. It would have been better had he explained the price was not final and could go up in advance at the outset of our initial consultation. In fact, when Mr. Arnsdorf found it necessary to raise the price, he could have at least explained why in his invoice or informed me via e-mail or telephone call, which would have helped avoid the confusion and minor dissension that followed. Overall, I would recommend Mr. Arnsdorf for your structural engineering needs, just beware that the price could change from the initial quote."

"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."

If you're looking for an architectural designer who brings more than textbook knowledge to the table, you're in the right place. With over 40 years in the construction industry—as a builder, designer, and business owner—I’ve developed a deep, hands-on understanding of how homes are truly built. Every project, challenge, and collaboration has shaped how I approach design today. That experience allows me to design residential projects that go beyond the blueprint, grounded in practical insight and a lifetime of lessons learned on the job.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

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.

Yes, unresolved damage can decrease property integrity and market value.
