Home and Building Inspections (primarily structural) for purchasers and mortgage companies and insurance companies.

"Gateway mortgage company recommended Roger and CDR inspections to do a structural inspection of one of our rental properties before approving a refinance. He did not give it a pass, and suggested having nine piers installed around the perimeter of the house. After some due diligence, we discovered that Eden’s had already installed piers in 2020, and we communicated this to Roger. He said he would not give the property an OK until the adjustments were made, so we had Edens come out and adjust the piers, as well as add three additional piers to another corner, per Roger’s instructions. After completing all work, both we and Chris Padley from Gateway Mortgage have been emailing and contacting Roger for 6 weeks to do a final inspection so that we can move forward with our refinance, and he is disregarding all of our phone calls and emails. This has been one of the most frustrating experiences we have ever encountered. We are unable to move forward on our very important refinance until he signs off on this structural inspection. Our lender told us, “I am at a complete loss why he won’t respond.” Look elsewhere, Roger is not friendly and he’s not willing to work with customers."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

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.

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 your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.
