"David is great to work with. He is reliable and professional and delivers exactly what he promises. We are about halfway through the design process on our kitchen and 2nd floor projects and it has been much easier and less stressful thanks to David's help. We look forward to continuing working with him."

"They do a zoom kick off call where you can explain your project and discuss your priorities. They were communicative and available during the process. We iterated until they converged to what I wanted. Enjoyed the process."

"It went very well. Two very professional employees arrived at the agreed upon time. The owner joined them later in the morning and helped them finish up. They spent about 7 hours completing the job, which was the estimated amount of time we were advised it would take. They did a nice job of cleaning up the work area before leaving for the day. There was no mess left behind. We also had a friend who had used Midland Concrete Leveling to mudjack their driveway and they were also pleased with the work and price."

"They were very professional and nice. I kind of felt double-teamed - two guys showed up in two separate trucks. They wanted to put 13 piers around my house to fix the problem. The price for a pier is not a bad thing but it seemed an awfully extreme fix for what I had asked them to come out for. I?ve gotten their calls weekly possibly from the guy wanting to know if we had made any decisions yet on what we were going to do. I think they are a harder sell maybe than the other ones I talked to. We have had a couple of people tell us that there is no way we need that extensive work done, so I would probably not consider using them."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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. 

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.
