"Vista started in what seemed like a very organized matter, but communication started failing throughout the project. Our sales person was let go early on and our initial bid was far too unclear, so we had to rework expectations and ESPECIALLY unrealistic time frames with our construction manager. He also left the project before the end of the work. Overall the work quality was OK, but communications and timeliness were a real issue throughout. I found the guys that were onsite to be friendly and accommodating, but the process - which seemed so organized - got very chaotic at the end and we were just glad for it to be over. There were weeks when we'd hope to get answers on dates and it was hard to get them, and multiple times we were told the day of an expected service visit, that they'd be delayed a week. These guys are certainly NOT crooks and can do decent work, but seems like they need to revisit their structure and how much they take on. I suspect these guys are best at the sun-rooms they promote more than other home work."

"My wife and I bought the worst house on the block - literally, a house from h***, whose owners hadn't maintained it in 20 years - and NE Renovations has transformed it into the nicest house on the block. Richard and his NE team have literally done everything - new exterior walls, new interior walls, plumbing, heating, electrical, hardwood floors, all new plumbing & heating, windows, custom kitchen & bath, cathedral ceilings, roof, gutters, all new plaster & paint, not drywall like other contractors use and even a new basement remodel where we entertain our friends now. Not only did NE renovations build everything on time and on budget, but he also let us know if they found any unanticipated problems that would cause changes in timeline or budget so that we could make a decision in advance as to whether we wanted to make this change or not. Richard always gave us different alternatives to any situation, and gave us terrific advice as to which approach he would take. Unbelievably, he also threw in a range of items (be the extra cedar for our master closet or extra sheer walls even when the structural engineer didn't put this on the structural plan) at NO COST to us. I have never heard of another contractor doing something like that. Richard also took care of all the permit issues and with their great track record of doing work in the city of Newport they never had one violation and the project moved smoothly. Before I hired NE Renovations, we checked references: Richard gave us 10 numbers, I spoke with 7 (who were all glowing), and then 2 more took the time to call us back to provide references. That means a lot to us - and now that we've worked with the guys at NE Renovations we understand exactly why. Richard and his men are a man of their word, NE Renovations is experienced, reliable, and drama-free. We have already recommended them to our friends who also love them as much as we do, and we would definitely use NE Renovations services in the future, with out a doubt. I hope you use him too. This was the best $85,000.00 we ever spent!!"

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers specialize in all aspects of a building’s structural integrity, including the foundation. Foundation engineering is a critical part of structural engineering, so structural engineers are experts in foundation design. Many foundation repair companies either have a structural engineer on staff or one they work closely with, so be sure you look for that when deciding who to hire for foundation repair.

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

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.
