"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."

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.

"Chester made all the arrangements, though we did some shopping around ourselves beforehand. He told us which granite supplier/installer (of those we had already visited) he preferred , and why he felt that particular supplier/installer was his preference. He also pointed us toward his preferred tile shop ... having used Chester previously for another project, we trusted his judgment on this. He met us at both the tile shop and the storage yard of the counter top supplier to not only help us pick out what we wanted (granite design, and tile color/pattern), but also arranged for the consultant at the tile supply shop to meet with us at the same time. He also pointed us toward a plumbing supplier for our sink ... again, one of those suppliers whom we had already visited as part of our preliminary research during the earliest phase of our decision-making process to undertake this countertop re-do project. Once we selected all of our primary components (granite slab, tiles, sink + faucet), a start date was set, along with an expected finish-by date. Demolition took less than 1 day. Somewhere along the 2nd or 3rd expected day of work, a day (or part of a day) was lost (can't remember why) - but that did not impact the completion of the project. I had two concerns going into the project. One was whether the existing cabinet frame would support a new, much heavier counter top. The original counter top was a laminate ... probably not 1/10 the weight of a granite top. Chester said that he would have additional structural supports installed to help with that added weight. The other concern I had was about the sink we wanted to use ... the manufacturer's specs for the size of cabinet opening we would need for the sink to fit, indicated that we would not be able to use the sink we wanted, and would have to get a smaller one, which in this case would be significantly smaller if we wanted to stay with the same sink material (granite composite). Chester was quite certain that the sink (we wanted as our first choice) would fit, even if it meant a little shimming here or there. When it came time to install the sink, it dropped right into place without any adjustments needed, as Chester had felt it would ... another example of his judgment being correct. In the end, the final cost was a bit more than what we expected, but everything looked great, Chester was always available - just a phone call away, if needed; the job was done in a professional manner, and clean-up every day left the adjacent areas of the house completely livable."

"It was a good experience. I had originally expected to cover the existing tile with textured paint, but Charles discovered that some of the tile was not attached and recommended replacement. I agreed, and the project began. The crew covered everything that they couldn't move, moved the rest, removed the tiles and painted the ceiling, cleaned up, and put everything back. A pleasant experience, start to finish. And the room looks much better."

"

Very well.  I feel so comfortable about the stability of my home.  Jim, the owner of the company, was always looking for the best and most reasonable way to solve a problem.  His crew was hard working and came to work when they said they would (except for the rainy periods of course).  The house was empty so they stayed at my home (so they could be close to the job) and kept very good care of it.

 It was an expensive repair but I believe I could not have found a better crew for the same price. Since I was out of state much of the time, they kept me informed at every step, which is helpful when you can not be there.
I definitely would recommend them for waterproofing but I was most impressed with their ability to do the structural reinforcement."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
