"Evolution design worked with me on designing and addition for a 100 and 5 year old house. We worked on the dimensions of the addition Plus the materials. Evolution understood the local zoning which was amazing that they knew that. We have not started construction. And evolution can help pull the permits and I'm considering them for that as well. All in all it was a long project but it was done efficiently, working with several of the staff an the departments."

"Ward Engineering began working with Jared of Cornerstone Home Designs approximately 3 years ago to perform residential design work using Chief Architect design software. I find Jared to be the most capable Chief Architect designer I have ever worked with. Jared is very efficient and thorough at developing the residential Chief Architect models. In addition to being competent, Jared makes himself available to provide personal 1-on-1 training over the internet, which has been a huge blessing to our company and clients."

"We appreciate the high quality of John's workmanship, his integrity, reliability, and his reasonable prices. His work is a good value at $50-60 per hour. We know from experience that he stands by his work 100% and for up to four or five years. We had one inexplicable shower leak, and John spent hours and hours of his own time determining the cause and repairing the problem, at no cost to us. That's integrity! We were never without a bathroom to use. Because we were happy with John's work, we allowed the extra time for him to complete the job himself to his high standards. This included such things as leveling the subfloor in one bathroom before he could proceed to set the tile. It also included moving existing plumbing to accommodate an extra sink and moving existing ones. Details of the job: Master Bath (stone and glass shower, two sinks, toilet): Gutted the room: floor, shower/tub, cabinets. Relocated, replumbed, and built shower, closing off a window and repairing exterior siding. Installed stone shower and floor and heated mat in floor. Also relocated new sinks and electrical fixtures. Installed toilet and mirrors. Bath 2 (tile shower, two sinks, toilet): Tore out fiberglass shower, vinyl flooring and vanity. Built new tile shower, tiled floor, baseboards, and countertop. Replumbed sinks. Installed new sinks, toilet, full-wall mirror and sconces above vanity. Bath 3 (tile shower and tub walls, two sinks, toilet, tub): Tore out fiberglass shower, toilet, vanity and flooring. Built new tile shower, tiled floor, baseboards, and tub walls. Replaced plumbing and electrical fixtures. Installed full-wall mirror, new tub, toilet. Bath 4 (powder room, toilet, sink): Tore out flooring, vanity and toilet. Tiled floor and framed mirror with glass border. Replumbed faucet. Installed sink, toilet, mirror and sconces. If we had more remodeling to be done, we wouldn't hesitate for an instant to hire John Erickson Construction."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

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.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

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.
