"We paid them about $8k in 2008 to fix foundation and install about 10 adjustable 'lifetime warranted' pilings. No, it did not fix problem. So we had to pay them another $10k in 2012 when (lo and behold) they had to put in, yes, another 10 pilings (see, uhm, apparently, the problem was not with the 'warranted' pilings, oh noooo, it needed MORE pilings!). Again we had to pay EXTRA for the 'Lifetime Transferrable Warranty'. Guess what? It did not fix the problem! We just called them out again here in summer 2022, and (lo and behold) they need to put in 20 more pilings (you see, as a layman, apparently I just do not understand that the problem is not with the warranted pilings, noooo, it needs MORE pilings). This time the bill is $23k, you read it right, $23,000.00 and I was just about to pay it too, except for one thing... the greedy guts tried to slip in $3,000 of 'engineering' which when I questioned it was to cover work that should be warranted. Amber and Scotty are not going to cover the warranty on adjustments to 13 pilings previously installed, for which I paid thousands extra for the Lifetime Transferrable Warranty. So, I got on the buggy ride, I was determined to ride it out, why? So I could have a piece of paper called a Lifetime Transferrable Warranty to hand to a realtor if I ever sell the house. I know it is worthless now, less than worthless, it is downright expensive worthlessness. RUN don't walk RUN!!!!!!!!!! This is a very expensive charade with no end, just deeper and deeper sunk cost purveyed by dishonest operators who DO NOT HONOR their warranty on so-called work that they KNOW good and well does not WORK, it never fixes the problem, just sets you up for more costly return visits."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

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.

Yes, floor joists are essential structural components. They support the weight of floors and everything on them, transferring loads to the foundation and walls. Properly installed joists are necessary for maintaining strength, stability, and structural integrity.

Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
