Customers say: Quick response

"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.

"We had a bad experience with the first technician who didn't fix the problem, and who we found out later (after we submitted our first review) was fired.  We submitted a poor review on Angie's List, since the technician wouldn't get back to us and the problem had not been fixed.  The owner was very eager to remedy the situation, and showed up quickly to try to fix the problem.  We then wanted to wait until the next time it rained to see if the problem had been fixed.

However, the owner was in such a hurry for us to change our review, that he basically started harassing us, not wanting to wait until it rained so we could see if the problem had been resolved.  In the space of a few days of our initial poor review, he called and messaged us multiple times, and even showed up at our home without an appointment to try to convince us to just pour water on the roof to see if it was fixed, and then change our review.  In my opinion this pestering us to change our review was very unprofessional, especially since all we wanted to do was wait for it to rain so the roof could be tested in a realistic scenario.  I am submitting this review prior to it raining and seeing if the fix worked, so that I can be done with this and stop getting calls and messages asking me to change the review.  I hope that what he did fixed the roof, but if it didn't, I will be looking elsewhere for the next repair.

This probably has no effect on the work, and it may just be a pet peeve of mine, but the messages that we received through Angie's List from this provider were riddled with grammar and spelling mistakes, adding to the appearance of not being professional.  Had I received such an unprofessional message from them prior to any work being done, I would not have employed their services."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

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.

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems.
