He is extremely knowledgeable, communicates detals in an easy way and is very prompt to deliver. He often finds other ways to engineer things that we hadnt considered which make him our 1st choice in engineers. We would highly reccommend him and his services."

"Jeff was excellent to work with! He was knowledgable all of the details, manufacturers, colors, and came up with 4 different design options for the exterior of our home. We are just regular people, with an average home, who are planning to replace roof, trim and accent siding. His fees are reasonable, and totally worth it for such a big investment on our home. More people should consider getting some help with these important decisions. Thanks again Jeff!"

"John and his crew are the best. Top quality work and really easy to work with. The attention to detail and the craftmanship are top notch. If you want it fast and cheap, this is probably not the company for you. If you want a structure that will stand the test of time and is done right, these are your guys. I will definitely hire John again for my next project."

"We had a wonderful experience working with Darrin/Xclsuive Home. Darrin was very knowledgeable about multiple aspects of home repair, and it was very convenient to work with a single company that could provide quality repair in several areas that we needed for our home: siding repair, roofing repair, repair to an external door, wooden deck repair, and concrete repair. Darrin responded quickly to our request for an estimate and finished our projects quickly. We would be happy to work with him again!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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. 

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

Failure to compact the soil during construction is the most common cause of leaning retaining walls. In addition, poor drainage can lead to excessive water pressure behind a retaining wall, pushing against it until it begins to move forward away from the soil it is holding back.

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.
