"Zach did plans for 2 homes for me and he did a wonderful job. One was a complete tear down and rebuild. He was meticulous with details and has true design talent. I would hire him again in a minute."

"While the project I needed Scarano Architect for did not end up being necessary (so I ultimately did not need to hire them), they were incredibly responsive and proactive with my potential needs, talked me through what they could provide me, and quickly gave me a quote. I would definitely reach out to them again if I ever do need an engineer on a project!"

"Evan is a professional. He is readily available to answer any questions and works with you to get the project completed. In addition to a comprehensive list of drawings for my room enclosure, my Condo engineer asked 37 additional questions about the project. Evan took the time to answer these questions to their satisfaction and we were able to file for the DOB permit. He also suggested to us an expeditor AHT Expediting that worked out very well and everything went as planned. I highly recommend Evan Wiskup."

"Working with Esther and my account manager, Martha, was a real pleasure. Our informative conversations never felt rushed, and replies ro my emails were thoughtful and comprehensive--If occasionally somewhat delayed. The professional co-op set allowed my project to breeze through board approval. Highly recommend!"

"George is fantastic! He knows his stuff and made the building permit process a breeze. Working with him was smooth from start to finish. Totally worth it - especially considering how much hassle he saved me with the DOB. If you're looking for someone who's skilled and easy to work with, George is your guy."

"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.
