"Terrible just terrible don’t ever use this company, I hired Innovative to help level my concrete they did a horrible job. Now my driveway has more and even bigger cracks, also I was over charged by the representative who gave me the quote, I specifically asked him that I did not want any cracks filled that I would do it that myself but he ended up charging me for a portion without my knowledge, I found out after it was filled with caulk. I tried calling them about it a few times since I have a 5 year warranty but know one has bothered to pickup my call or respond back. They will easily over charge you to get an extra few 1000 from your pockets. DON’T EVER USE THIS COMPANY they don’t care about you nor bother to even know your name, not once did the representative bother to ask or know my name even though I took the time to know his I was known as “Hey” the entire interaction. Stay away from this company use any other."

"Exceeded expectations! Andrew and his team were able to level and add supports to our floor to carry the load of a kitchen island that was part of our kitchen renovation. Flooring companies were only able to offer a band-aid fix that did not address the cause or offer a permanent solution. We were so thankful to find Andrew and his team of experts at Load Bearing Wall Company. They understand that level floors are key to a structurally sound home. They also installed a 14 ft. steel beam that repaired structural damage and allow us to realize our open concept dream kitchen. I would hire them again without reservation. From the first initial meeting and throughout the project (which only took a few days), Andrew was responsive and made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way. They treated our home like it was their own."

"Highly recommend and excellent person to work with!! Responsive, detailed, honest, and does the job right. We had a complex job of moving our staircase and adding a basement window. Staircase required structural engineering and was a project many people turned down as they felt it was too complicated. In addition, he cut a 5’x4’ + hole through foundation to add a window. He was priced well, and did excellent work. We can’t recommend him enough and look forward to completing more projects with him!"

Free onsite estimate

Crossroad Concrete and Masonry LLC is a masonry contractor from Elko New Market, MN, specialized in custom colored and stamped concrete sidewalks, steps, driveways, patios, fire pits, foundations, excavation and more. Lonsdale, MN;New Prague, MN;Cannon Falls, MN;Hampton, MN;Jordan, MN

"Many delays mostly due to him accepting other jobs and pushing mine back weeks. 2 week job took 3 months to complete; the job did grow in scope - so 3 weeks might have been reasonable, but... I was probably too nice, but was smart enough to hold back final payment until completed. Super nice man and employees. He is extremely knowledgeable about all things concrete - an expert. Unfortunately he was rushed, had higher value projects come up (mine was $8K), and doesn't provide guarantees. Some of my hearth bricks were damaged during grouting - upsetting to me; admittedly we were chatting while he was working. the garage leaks worse than before - the waterproofing painted on the exterior and interior is flaking and peeling after only one winter (I did not request this, but was already in process when I noticed - he said it would last long) - (it will need wired brushed removal) and the exterior caulking is not preventing leaks - he added expansion joints to floor to prevent other cracks. The basement post work was done to high standards - great job just very messy, poor cleanup. The new steps are holding up well thus far - a little pooling of water on one side of two of the steps - he back filled with concrete debri before the pour of the concrete (seems like that is a common industry practice) - it seemed like an inaccurate estimate concrete order - he used good quality concrete. Some other work done seems to be okay. The biggest issue is organization, lack of prep to have all he needs when he arrives, timing, responsiveness, rushing and lack of follow-up to resolve issues. He was squeezing in my projects between his higher value projects; when we started he wasn't very busy - so things changed. He was trying to maximize outdoor jobs before winter - probably a MN thing for contractors. That's why he didn't complete my indoor stuff till later. He didn't provide a written contract although I asked; I had to insist on a written receipt. I think if I had been a stronger project manager of his work and I had more energy for that, I would hire him again - but that's not really what I want to do. He does need a strong project manager. Very disappointing but kinda, sorta okay. I really wish it was different. Two neighbors had similar experiences. If you want to project manage and work alongside him... you would learn a lot and have fun. That might be a really good and very unique business niche for him."

"This was to be a 6 - 8 week project. We started on September 15th. We expected it to be done mid to late November. It is not complete as of January 18th. We have sheet rock dust everywhere, on all walls, floors cabinets, etc. We have walls that need to be repainted, trim to be done, carpet to lay, plumbing to complete, some cabinet work to finish and Custom Bi-fold doors to make for the oversized framing of the openings, and closet shelves to install. I am leaving things off the list I am sure but you get the picture. Our main contact, Lance, has not contacted us in 3 weeks. Our project sits. My thinking is that he is walking away from it as his last communication with us was to have a worker pick up a check from us in December for our carpet and flooring overage. He didn’t buy carpet is our guess as we have not gotten a install date, we were promised a schedule on December 27th. The team that was used for framing did not have enough experience. Almost all walls are not square or plumb. All Door openings were framed too tall and wide, including the Bi-fold Closet Doors. This team was also used to sheetrock. When I pointed out to Lance the many issues with their work he shrugged it off as not being too bad. Too few screws in the field and too many in other places. All outlet, light switch and register vents were cut larger than the cover plates. Requiring after the fact repair work. A pro sheetrocker would have flipped his lid. The taping and mudding was done by this team as well. They used way too much mud, ineffective use of tape and mud made for much much more sanding. They didn’t bother isolating the basement so we had weeks and weeks of sheetrock dust on our main and 2nd floor and that is with the furnace OFF whenever the team was here. The ceiling is passable save for a few areas that have noticeable valleys that are 4 plus feet long. Not all of the sanding is done yet but the walls are painted and have been patched in numerous locations and repainted, so the paint do not match up now. I can go on of course and I am not trying to bash. I am being honest about our experience. We have no idea when the end is and we feel that they have abandoned us for greener pastures. That’s what the lack of communication leads us to believe at least."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

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, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

Hiring a structural engineer costs about $550 on average. However, prices range from as low as $200 up to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge by project, hourly, or by the square footage, making it important to understand how your chosen engineer structures their estimates. Additional cost factors include project type, the scope of work, the size of the project, and your geographic location.
