"4 years ago we performed a major renovation of the main floor of our house with the intent understanding that some dips in the subfloor would be corrected before a new wooden floor was placed. For 4 years weve been living with the fact that the original contractor never performed his job correctly and we finally decided to call Structural MD to see if anything could be done. George and his foreman Chris are really fantastic. They were able to correct the problem from the basement. The job probably took longer than they expected but that didn't stop them from doing it correctly. They reset a main beam of the house, removed a lally column, shimmed joists and built a retaining wall. The original problem which was deemed cosmetic and not truly structural is now 99% corrected which is something we thought could never be done especially after past mistakes by other contractors. The first floor feels flat and solid and the damage that this sort of intervention could have done was actually minimal (minor crack). I cant say enough about this team and how well they work together. I highly recommend them for any structural home issues."

"Joe designed a beautiful family room addition to expand our Cape Cod style home. His design integrated the new room beautifully into the existing house and it looks like it was always there.  All of the builders who bid on his design remarked how detailed and complete his plans were. I would use him again without hesitation. A really good architect and a heck of a nice guy.

"Cigano identified a number of important changes to my architectural drawings to strengthen my structure (a car port). The changes recommended and implemented to my plans ensured my Town would issue a building permit. The Town had rejected my initial drawings and required its review and approval by a structural engineer or architect. Cigano really came through and its owner was easy to work with and highly professional. I would highly recommend Cigano."

"I had a very good experience working with Vince. He did the drawings for a master bedroom suite addition to my home, as well as an addition to our ktichen for a breakfast/dining nook. He was very thorough and my contractor had no problems with the drawings, so far. Hopefully, the work will be starting in the coming weeks."

"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."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

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.

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.

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.
