"Bob is very professional and provides great customer service.  He gave us an estimate soon after we contacted him and was able to schedule the work within the same week.  Even though he was tearing down old plaster and using a sander, there was no mess left after he was finished.  The closet looks great.  He even matched the texturized finish of the original plaster.  I couldn't be happier with the job."

"Cramer Engineering provided me with the information that I needed to evaluate and repair the foundation of my home. Zach Bingham answered all of my followup questions in a timely manner and provided me with a comprehensive written report. The cost of the inspection was well spent and saved me a considerable amount of money in that I did not spend money on unneeded repairs."

"While Keith is quite knowledgeable in his trade and at one time completed the work himself, it's quite evident he has an "A" and "B" team working for him. Our project went more than 10 days past the estimated completion date and they started 10 days before the estimated start date (there was a period of almost 2 weeks where no one worked at our house a single day and our deck was completely torn apart with building supplies taking over a section of our backyard grass). Keith did try to go above and beyond by obtaining some reclaimed granite to make my grill area a bit more sophisticated. Again, Keith knows how a job should be done but I clearly got the "B" or maybe even "C" team. Poor craftsmanship, corners cut and a stain job that was embarrassing to call professional left a real sour taste in my mouth. The kids he has working for him basically used my deck project as a training program. I eventually asked Keith to knock off a couple hundred bucks from the final payment because I could wrap up the staining myself 10 times better than his guys (which I've since started but not yet completed). I expected to be "wowed" with this project and after Keith said to me "I don't think I could ever truly satisfy you" I know the time to cut bait was then. There were numerous un-stained parts of the project and too many touch ups to note (e.g. Where you could clearly see the wood or previous paint under what they "painted"). Oh, and there is now deck paint on some of the wood siding of my house (again, sloppy job). Looking at the job after it was "done", i noticed many more corners that were cut - literally and figuratively. The railroad ties are not level (sloping severely down) and the cuts around the stairs are not even the same on both sides - making it look sloppy and uneven. Oh and there is so much sand now on my brick patio that I'm tempted to re-do it myself - and there's huge chunks of polymer missing and weeds coming through already... What Keith promised sounded awesome and I think with the right crew, I would have been wowed. Now, I'm just glad it's over and happy that it at least looks better than it did before they started. Make sure you're getting the "A" team. You'll know very quickly if you aren't..."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most structural engineers offer free quotes, regardless of the size of the job. For simple inspections when buying or selling a home, engineers typically charge a flat fee that may be based solely on your home’s foundation type and square footage. For larger projects, like new construction and major home renovations, an engineer will either perform an analysis of your project and site and provide you with a formal estimate, or they will do a more in-depth assessment and in-person site inspection before coming up with a per-hour or per-project cost estimate. In most cases, the estimate is free.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

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.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
