Colonial Remodeling is a Full Service Remodeling General Contractor in business since 1996 that is well known for its keen attention to detail, value-based pricing, and on-time project completion. Additionally, we specialize in projects using low maintenance exterior products without compromising on aesthetics and Design/Build home addition and remodeling projects. "Staying true to the character of the home and its neighborhood, that is the key to performing a great remodeling project," says Colonial Remodeling's owner Jon Hickox. "In many cases, it is just a matter of updating a home that needs a little TLC; however, this can also be a great opportunity to implement some additional changes and enhancements which can make a tremendous difference in the home's overall usability and curb appeal. Each home is a different case and it takes years of experience in order to make the proper recommendations as to what design updates make for a good fit for the home and the neighborhood. This is where our design team and craftsmen and all of their experience make the real difference." Whether it's designing and building a new porch, portico, or addition, or even choosing and installing the proper roofing, exterior siding and trim detail that restores the luster to your home that it's lost over the years, the designers and craftsmen at Colonial Remodeling will provide the professionalism, service, and high quality results that you expect. **Satellite office located at 600 Eagleview Blvd. Suite 300, Exton, PA 19341. We install James Hardie Siding.

"2nd review. 3 years ago I left a glowing review about Colonial. Chas Kubrick is AMAZING!! They were professional, the construction team did a fabulous job and I think I only found 3 nails. I purchased the upgraded roof and upgrade for beautiful Hardie siding. Fast forward to today and I'm leaving a 1 Star review. Why? Because last week I called about some problems and learned that they only warranty their work product for 2 years~ small but important fact that must have been in the contract and I missed. It certainly wasn't spoken. I recall the wonderful Hardie as well as the CertainTeed Roof warranties but nothing about a 2 year repair warranty from Colonial. Given that information would I have chosen a different company? Of course! I have 2 major problems, a leak inside of my sunroom as well as a problem with the siding which has destroyed a window and French door. A technician came out for the door and explained the when the siding was installed on the deck, they failed to do the flashing. And well, you can see in results in the pictures. When contractors come to provide estimates without missing a beat, each says I shouldn't be having these problems after 3 years and that Colonial should repair. I explain the 2 year clause they laugh and proceed to share their warranties and that Colonials isn't the standard. Two years? That's the honeymoon stage problems seldom arise. So, here we are, either file a claim with the roof and siding manufacturers, pay out of pocket OR file a claim with my insurance company. Each option sucks because I went with a company which doesn't provide an actual warranty for their work product. Don't be me, be better."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

Costs depend on furniture type, size, complexity, and whether additional modifications are needed.

A few hours for inspection, with a detailed report following in a week.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
