"As the general contractors, this was a large project for us, and Richard (iCornerstone owner) provided guidance throughout the whole project. He worked with us to design the conversion of the old garage and erect the new garage, put the specification/building plans together, provided guidance on the building permit process, and acted as the project coordinator. His detailed project plans were especially helpful, and he posted to DropBox all project documentation, including 153 pictures that show every phase of the work. Richard referred structural and civil engineers to provide us structural and compression information on the project. This was important because we brought in fill where the new garage is sitting, and the solution he suggested saved over $10,000. He also referred a construction team for the building work (excavating, foundation, electric, plumbing, and carpentry, etc.), and we hired them directly. As homeowners, we had had no previous experience or direction for the project, but, with Richard’s help and guidance, we are near completion. As with any plan, there were changes along the way that were communicated, and adjustments were made in a professional manner. The project came in on time and under budget, and all the subcontractors we hired were first rate. We are completely satisfied with the end results."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

"I had 2 major jobs done by Vista with mixed results:
1) In early 2015, we sat down with Brian (the owner) and he gave us an estimate on replacing the roof and repairing portions of the cedar shakes on our house that had rotted.  The estimate included removing our gutters and then putting the same gutters back up.  It also included repairing the frame of an attic window that had started to rot and adding baffles to the attic for venting.  The roofing was done in March 2015 and went relatively well other than the fact that the crew chief had forgotten his cell phone and didn't have the contract on him.  He pulled down the front gutters and, rather than saving them to put them back up, he trashed them in the dumpster.  A different crew came several days later to do the window, shakes, and baffles.  Dave, the chief of this second crew, was short baffles and had to go out and find some more even though photos were taken of the attic prior to the job for just this reason.  The shakes were done, but one section near the gutters looked awful.  I had to call and complain, and the shakes were fixed during the second major job below.  Finally, Dave came a different day to replace the gutters that had been thrown out.  It quickly became very clear that the crew does not communicate well with whoever it is that draws up the contract/estimate and whatever was discussed during the estimate process is not well communicated to the crew.  Lots of back and  forth phone calls to get things right.  In the end, though, Vista replaced the old gutters with new gutters for free since trashing them was their fault.  They also found a replacement attic window for me for free.  The roof / gutter / window job ended up lasting for close to a month, and the dumpster was in our driveway for this entire time. Dave was a very friendly crew chief and kept us informed as best he could, but he would have left the cedar shake repair in a condition that was not acceptable.  Once we complained and sent pictures, a plan was put in place to fix this.  So, the communication was pretty bad, and there were some decent-sized hiccups, but Vista worked hard to make things right in the long-run, and I feel like I got a good deal for (ultimately) pretty good quality.  Tough to say whether I would hire them again -- they need to fix this communication issue so jobs go more smoothly.  This work cost about $11,000.
2) The second major job was in June 2015, where Vista replaced an entire wall of cedar shakes.  This time, Gladimir was the chief and he seemed to be the shake expert.  He did a great job and repaired the spots near the gutter where the previous work had been sub-par.  We supplied the shakes and painted them before Gladimir and his helper installed them.  We were very happy with this job.  This work cost about $1300.

"Overall, we were very happy working with United and love the look of our new bathrooms and closet! The initial quote was very fair and similar to other estimates we received. We appreciated the fixed pricing for the project which encompassed many of the unexpected surprises/delays that inevitably come up when doing renovations in an old building. United even went above and beyond and repaired small things in other parts of the condo that weren't part of the initial contract. All of the workers were respectful, efficient and cleaned up after themselves each day. The carpenter hired by United was fantastic and took extra care to ask our preferences and confirm the design at several points before build/installation. The closets look amazing. For the most part, the craftsmanship for the project was beautiful. At the end of the project there were a few places (molding/paint/grout work) where the finishes needed some touching up and Giovani was incredibly responsive to our requests and fixed them right away. Jackie was a great contact throughout the project, always helped to address each of our questions and concerns and was a great liaison help communicate with Giovani, Alessandro and all of the subcontractors. Overall the project took about 12 weeks, longer than initially quoted but about what we were expecting. The only part of the project we weren't happy with was the company United contracted with to install the glass shower doors for the bathrooms. While the end product looks great, we encountered many issues along the way, including cracking of our glass tile during installation (twice) and incorrectly measuring the glass for the door in the other bathroom. United was great about repairing all the damage, but it added significant delays to the project. All in all, we really love the look of our remodel and would definitely hire United again for future projects."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.

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, 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.
