"Mr Kamal Essaid completed a structural on-site inspection for a detached structure at my home . He was very professional from the time we spoke on the phone . He scheduled the inspection and showed up exactly the time that was set . From start to finish he completed the inspection and advised an abundance of knowledge while he completed it . He provided the reports when he said it would be ready with no hesitation . I highly recommend him and will use him again for all my engineering needs. Thank you Kamal !"

"We hired Mr. Jeffrey Moss to inspect the foundation of a house we were looking to buy. He responded to my inquiry right away, and I was able to schedule with him very quickly as well. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He showed up early, was very thorough, and extremely likeable. The report came back within days, and his prices are better than the other structural engineers I had spoken to that weren't even rated on this site! I would highly, highly recommend him!"

"Connor from Stonewall Structural Engineering showed up promptly on time. He went under my 93-year-old house without hesitation to check out the foundation issues. Within two hours he walked me through all his findings in detail and gave me some suggestions. I received a detailed, sealed report in 4 days with pictures, and multiple ways to resolve my issues. I hope to never need a structural engineer again, but I'll definitely be using Stonewall if I need an inspection again."

Offers commercial services

I am a licensed Professional Engineer providing structural engineering services for residential and small commercial projects. I work with homeowners, contractors, and design professionals to help move projects through the permit process by providing structural calculations, drawings, evaluations, and engineering letters as needed.\n\nIn-person structural inspections are available in Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Remote structural consulting is available in Delaware and North Carolina.\n\nTypical projects include load-bearing wall removal, beam and header sizing, additions, decks, foundation concerns, and framing evaluations. My goal is to provide practical, code-compliant structural solutions that are clear, efficient, and tailored to the project.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.

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.
