"Brian is a brilliant Architect. He drew up plans for a custom home. He is an old school kind of guy and very personable. I gave him the size of lot and provided a few photographs of houses we liked. We told him of our ideas and he implemented it and put it on paper. While driving I found a cute house, I stopped and took a picture. The owners were outside and I told them I thought they had a great house. They asked if I wanted to see the inside and they told me what they would have changed if they could. There was a lot of open space in the home. I showed Brian, we thought we can make it a loft or enclose it and turn into a master bedroom. There was a porch in front and in back, we did not need two. Brian said, lets remove one and bump out the kitchen. He had very reasonable ideas and sent us the drawings. We went back and forth a few times with our ideas. He would say, this looks brilliant but impractical. Brian made repeated adjustments and design changes; he was very patient throughout. He provided reasonable pricing, great value and amazing aesthetic. Then he sent the design that works. He made himself available throughout construction. If I called with questions, he answered the phone, even on Saturday. With all the changes we made, we would not have changed a thing. We love our house and are living in our dream home. We would hire him again in a heart beat with no hesitation."

"It went very well. The workers were friendly and the work was completed on time and our basement looks terrific. Their attention to detail was outstanding and we're very happy with the final product. The company was also very flexible and knowledgeable and suggested some changes to our original blueprints which helped settle some disagreements about the floor plan between my husband and I."

"Blake was very respectful, gave a fair price, and completed the work in a timely manor. We had a leak in our roof, which damaged a wall in our family room. Blake was able to repair both the roof, as well as the family room wall. His work was precise, and done with obvious pride. When he was done, he was sure to leave the area that he was working in clean. We would hire Blake for future construction needs, with no hesitation."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

Any issue that affects the structural integrity or soundness of a home is considered a structural issue. In addition to foundation cracks, other signs of structural issues include roof leaks, bowing walls, sloping floors, gaps around windows and doors, and more.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.
