"As owner/designer/builder, I hired Mark to validate the structural design of an atypical home on the Sandy River with challenging structural details. Mark also supported me during the building review process as part of his bid. The plans went through the county review first pass with no changes. After the start of construction, Mark advised on inspection issues and as built issues that came up allowing the project to move without delays. Even though he was on vacation, he responded to my requests during construction. The only improvement I would suggest is a bit more one on one collaboration early on to be on same page conceptually but with the pandemic and heavy client load in todays building environment, to be fare, that is a challenge for all engineers and my project was an oddity. I would use Mark again on a future house. He has integrity and that's number one."

"This was my second time contracting Dorson / Jackson Construction. We had an upstairs half bath that was dark, gloomy and little more than a toilet and urinal. We wanted to transform this space, along with some additional work on our front porch, roof and living room. Dorson came through again and we could not be happier with the results."

"I cannot believe this company has ever done residential building plans before! I was incredulous at their incompetence. Not going back to them even if my purchased-elsewhere ADU building plans which I paid to have them revise do not pass the city permitting process, again! DO NOT do business with this company!"

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

For Salem’s damp climate, keep a moisture meter and hygrometer to monitor humidity, as well as a level and crack gauge for foundation checks. Stock up on waterproof sealant, French drain materials, and a dehumidifier to manage water issues. Earthquake straps and flexible gas connectors are smart for seismic safety. Always use protective gear like gloves, hard hats, and safety glasses when working on structural repairs.

Helpful?

In Salem, new homeowners should prioritize a structural inspection to assess seismic retrofitting needs, especially for homes built before 1994. Evaluate your foundation for movement caused by local clay soils, and check for water intrusion in basements or crawl spaces. Review your roof’s framing to ensure it can handle Salem’s heavy rainfall. Before remodeling, identify load-bearing walls to prevent compromising your home’s structural integrity.

Helpful?

Your Salem home is a strong candidate if it was built before 1994, has a raised foundation, or shows signs like wall cracks, uneven floors, or doors that stick. Homes in historic neighborhoods often benefit from structural upgrades. If you’re considering a remodel or want to improve resale value, foundation repair or seismic retrofitting can be wise investments. Insurance discounts may also be available after seismic improvements.

Helpful?

Homes in Salem with hillside lots, proximity to creeks, or marine sedimentary soils often face unique foundation and drainage challenges. Older properties, especially those built before the 1950s, may lack seismic upgrades. Split-level layouts, large additions, or vaulted ceilings can complicate retrofitting and reinforcement. These features may require specialized structural solutions, so factor them into your project planning from the start.

Helpful?

In Salem, be cautious if a professional overlooks seismic retrofitting or ignores local soil and drainage concerns. Avoid anyone who suggests bypassing required permits or promises unusually fast completion during rainy months. Watch for quotes that differ drastically from others, and always request recent references from Salem homeowners. Confirm that your chosen expert carries appropriate insurance and understands local foundation repair standards.
