"Jeremy was great to work with and very detailed and professional with his review of my homeâ s structure as well as the report he provided. Based on his findings I did have work done on my 62 year old home foundation to hopefully insure I get another 62. Thank you Jeremy!"

"Working with CASNA Design was the best of experiences. My husband and I had never worked with an architect before. Mario was patient, answered all of our questions, and was extremely knowledgeable. He kept our mind at ease throughout the entire process and had true excitement around making our project a success. We will definitely use CASNA Design services again!"

"Tim was very professional, he was prompt in responding to messages. He showed up on the time for structural inspection and did thorough inspection. I highly recommend him considering my earlier experiences with other structural engineers, how they carry out their inspections and never give any definitive answers."

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.

"Outdoor Artisan is as professional as they come. What i look for more than anything else in a contractor is communication skills. If a contractor cannot excel at communication then clients are not going to be happy. Outdoor Artisan was in contact with us every day of this project, even when we were out of town. We knew what was happening, who was coming and going and what they hoped to achieve each week of the project. In addition to the owner, Clive Newey, we worked with Jason Humphrey, our project manager. Jason has a very artistic mind, and was always suggesting ideas to enhance and build upon what we happen to be thinking about at the time; the stain color, ways to finish the structure with elegant trim, the cupola on top and the corner braces. We highly recommend Outdoor Artisan for any outdoor structure, hardscape or landscape project."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

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.
