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.

Customers say: Quick response

Since beginning his practice as a sole proprietor architect in 1984, Mr. Lees' focus has been primarily on the rehabilitation of older and historic structures, historic architecture and rehabilitation tax credit consulting, and residential architecture, including coastal and waterfront home design, as well as additions to existing buildings. \nHis basic philosophy is that each project is unique to the desires and budget of each client, and the constraints of an existing site and/or structure.

I am an effective, pragmatic, results-oriented, customer-service award-winning licensed senior architect and engineer with almost 30 years of design, construction and development experience. I offer my expertise of having designed almost 500 projects over that time, including over 300 custom homes, as well as having been a senior property inspector and president of 3 architecture firms. \n\nI specialize in affordable housing and historic buildings and I have assembled a team of senior freelance engineers and drafters that are experienced with large multi-family, retail, hospitality and custom residential projects. I work remotely from my home in Baja California and my drafters are in the Philippines, so my team can offer you the same quality of work that you would get from a traditional firm for a fraction of the price. \n\nMost importantly, I strongly believe in quality, honesty and teamwork.

"

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.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

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.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.
