"I Highly Recommend Kent Cannon Enterprises, I hired Kent to provide a drawing and plan for adding a large basement window which would meet code and get us a permit. After having several contractors give me multiple views and conflicting information it was great getting a clear and confirming answer to my questions. It was also very important to me that his answers matched what the county permit office said which was a big boost in confidence after receiving so many conflicting opinions. Kent was also the only designer/ engineer that called me back in a timely manner, scheduled the appointment for the next business day and prepared the plan days in advance of when it was promised. The cost was well under what I had budgeted for a design. He didn't' waste any time and I knew exactly what I was getting for the money. His services, cost, and value far exceeded our expectations. Kent has been available to discuss and talk through any questions we've had as we get all parts of this project in place. In all this was a wonderful experience and I will be recommending Kent to anyone in need of a designer, whether it's home building, an addition, or like us, a small project. Highly Recommend."

"We selected NW Outdoor Living and Landscapes because it was well reviewed on Angie's List. When we initially met with Robert, we liked him and his ideas for our backyard. Going back and forth with Robert, we came up with the design we wanted. Then his crew came to build it. We were very impressed with them. They were very knowledgeable, professional and competent. They built a backyard that we love."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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. 

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.
