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.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Trusses and rafters each have advantages and disadvantages, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. For example, trusses are more affordable and often come in prefabricated kits, so they’re easier to build than rafters. However, rafters are available in a variety of designs, so it’s easier to find one that fits your style preferences. Plus, if you want to build an attic at some point down the line, it’s far easier to do that with rafters rather than trusses.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
