"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."

"I hired Marcos to draft an octagon structure I am building. In a short few days, he is almost finished! He seems well skilled with auto cad, is an acute listener, and delivering to me exactly what I was proposing. These qualities are rare in most contractors I have been working with. I would highly recommend people contact Marcos and hire him for any of you artistic, creative, or drafting projects. You will not be sorry. Thanks Marcos!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

Provides expert analysis, ensuring safety and compliance with building codes.

Yes, water damage can affect your walls' structural integrity. If the water or moisture sits on the walls for an extended period, it can weaken the drywall, plaster, wood framing, and other materials supporting the wall. That's why it's critical to dry out the area as soon as you notice it.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

The average cost to hire a structural engineer is about $550, with prices generally ranging from $200 to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge a flat rate, by the project, by square footage, or an hourly rate, which is typically between $100 and $250. Many jobs, such as inspections and structural calculations, are billed at a flat rate, which often falls between $300 and $800. The final cost depends on several factors, including the project's type, scope, size, complexity, ease of access for inspection, and your geographic location.
