"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, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

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

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

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.
