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

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.
