"Don't let Contractors take advantage of you, and hire an independent professional engineer. We did have several cracks around the house including the foundations walls, interior walls and ceilings. We hired many contractors for estimates for the repairs, we did have huge difference in quoted starting from $7K to $35K, then we hired an independent engineer to do a full structural assessment. We hired Kiro Engineering to do the structural assessment. They have three options for the assessment. We chose the highest option with a full assessment and structural integrity for the entire house. The report was very detailed with photos, observations, and recommendations. We like the way it was organized. The report was simple to read and understand for a "layman" who is not a professional contractor. This report gave us the right cost estimate. We almost saved $25K."

"Dee finished the drawings in a timely manner. He made revisions to fine tune and included an optional alternate floor plan I requested for a very reasonable up charge. I’m sure I’ll be using Dee again in the future."

"I had a great experience working with Glenwood Engineering LLC. I was in the process of selling my home and the buyer's mortgage company was requiring a structural engineer to certify the home was structurally sound as the joists in the basement had some previous termite damage. An engineer was able to come out in less than a week and although the initial report indicated some repairs that would be necessary everything needed was clearly stated. I was able to get a contractor to come do the repairs and Glenwood Engineering LLC was able to send the engineer out for a reinspection only two days after the repairs were complete. The customer service was outstanding and thanks to how quickly they were able to send an engineer out both for inspection and for reinspection we were able to close on time. I would definitely use their services again."

"Working with Jeff was so easy. He was very detailed oriented. He offered suggestions that we didnâ t think of and even helped us get the best layout for our budget. Iâ ve used him to help redesign my kitchen for my first house, had him come to my fiancéâ s house for an addition design and now my second house to redesign this kitchen. Very efficient and affordable as well. I Wouldnâ t use anyone else!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Allentown’s humid continental climate means structural engineering projects must address freeze-thaw cycles, heavy snow, and seasonal rainfall. Deep foundations help prevent frost heave, while moisture-resistant building materials are essential for durability. Roofs should be designed to support significant snow loads, and proper drainage is critical. Scheduling construction in late spring through early fall helps avoid weather delays and ensures optimal curing and installation conditions.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Allentown often overlook necessary permits, underestimate foundation depth for frost protection, or neglect drainage planning. Choosing a professional based solely on price or skipping reference checks can lead to issues. Starting projects during harsh winter months or ignoring snow load requirements may cause structural problems. Engaging local experts early and prioritizing proper building materials helps avoid these common mistakes and ensures lasting results.

Helpful?

In Allentown, be wary of quotes that lack detail about building materials, foundation repair methods, or local code compliance. Avoid professionals unwilling to visit your site or discuss climate-specific challenges like snow loads. Vague contracts, missing references, or requests for large upfront payments are warning signs. Trustworthy experts in Allentown provide clear documentation, site-specific solutions, and transparent communication throughout your structural engineering project.

Helpful?

Completing structural engineering projects in Allentown offers immediate benefits like improved safety, increased property value, and enhanced curb appeal. Over time, you’ll benefit from lower maintenance needs, better energy efficiency, and a longer-lasting structure. Upgrades such as foundation repair or reinforcing load-bearing walls also make your property more attractive in Allentown’s real estate market and contribute to the city’s ongoing revitalization.

Helpful?

In Allentown, top materials for structural engineering projects include engineered lumber for load-bearing walls, hot-rolled steel beams, high-strength concrete for foundation repair, and reinforced masonry blocks. These options are well-suited to Allentown’s freeze-thaw cycles and snow loads. Always ensure your building materials meet local code requirements and source from reputable local suppliers familiar with Allentown’s climate and soil conditions.
