From craftsman-style homes to post-modern architecture, we design projects of all shapes and sizes: retaining walls, home remodels and additions, historic renovations, concrete "tilt-ups", steel framed buildings, luxury swimming pools, commercial tenant improvements, and more. We investigate and structurally evaluate existing buildings, and can navigate the building permit process. Our company policy is simple: always follow through on promises, and always keep deadlines. Combine that with engineered solutions that are unmatched in detail and ease of construction, and the result is repeat customers who gladly refer our services to others. In short, we are not satisfied unless our clients are happy. As a local family business we provide personal customer care and quick responses, keeping our clients' projects on schedule and under budget. Stonewall Structural Engineering is your premier engineering firm from drafting table through construction. Give us a call today.

"Mr. Ramos came to my house the same day I requested quotes. He looked over the deck and emailed the quote by the next day. Before starting the project I had a few more questions and he came back again the next day and answered all of them. Mr. Ramos' crew came on the morning he promised and worked throughout the day. The project took several days and when I found some issues with the job he came back and even pointed out one other problem I missed. They came back the next day and completed the job. I believe Mr. Ramos is an honest professional who works hard to please his customer. I would use his services again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Your Durham home may need a structural engineering assessment if it was built before 1970, sits on a hillside, or is located in a neighborhood with mature trees and older infrastructure. Signs such as sloping floors, doors that won’t close, or foundation cracks wider than a quarter inch are red flags. Homes in historic districts often benefit from a professional evaluation to ensure long-term safety.

Helpful?

In Durham, start spring by inspecting your foundation for new cracks and checking crawl spaces for dampness after winter. In summer, monitor for high humidity and ensure drainage systems work before hurricane season. Fall is ideal for sealing small cracks and clearing gutters to prevent water buildup. During winter, watch for frost heave and check attic ventilation. Keep a yearly log to track changes and spot trends.

Helpful?

In Durham, be alert for cracks that widen over time, especially if they appear near corners or run horizontally along your foundation. Multiple cracks in the same area, new water stains in basements after storms, or doors that suddenly stick can signal underlying movement. If you notice these changes—especially after heavy rain or drought—it’s wise to consult a local structural engineer before issues escalate.

Helpful?

In Durham, if you notice small settling cracks or slight shifts in your home, document them with dated photos and measure any changes over time. Check for doors or windows that suddenly stick, and make sure gutters and downspouts direct water away from your foundation. Avoid moving structural supports or making repairs to load-bearing walls. If you see rapid changes, contact a structural engineer in Durham promptly.

Helpful?

Durham homes often face foundation issues due to shifting clay soils and seasonal moisture changes. Crawl spaces in older houses are prone to wood rot and sagging beams, especially after heavy rains. Retaining walls on sloped lots and roof framing in historic neighborhoods may also need attention. Regularly inspect these areas for signs of movement, water intrusion, or wood deterioration to catch problems early.
