"Jeremy was great to work with and very detailed and professional with his review of my homeâ s structure as well as the report he provided. Based on his findings I did have work done on my 62 year old home foundation to hopefully insure I get another 62. Thank you Jeremy!"

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 called Legacy once again after using them in the past.  What great people they are.  We met and covered all the details, and they even offered us advice on how to do a few things we had not thought of and how to do them more economically.  That's what we have always liked about these folks.  They didn't try to sell us on anything.....they educated us and never made us feel like we were dumb.  
Even though they had done a great job for us in the past, we did shop around a little and got a few other estimates just to be sure we were going to get what we paid for.  Most of the contractors we called never called us back, and those that did call back could never seem to keep the appointment.  So, in the end we settled (once again) on Legacy.  I can honestly say that the professionalism, honesty, and care they took with our home was first rate.
We knew the job we wanted done would not be easy from a structural point of view, but after much research and input Legacy came up with a plan that not only worked, but is stunning.  The views they created for us is breathtaking.  The attention to every design detail was impeccable and the folks that worked on our job are simply artists.  
We are honored to write a review for Legacy.  We will call them time and again as our needs change.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

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.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

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.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.
