"Tim is the consummate professional. He's very thorough in his inspection, and he writes clear reports with excellent pictures. His report on the termite damage was much better than that done by our original inspector. He explained everything he found so I felt like I had a good picture of what needed to be done. When he returned, my contractor was so impressed with him that he took his contact information to refer him to future customers who needed engineering reports."

We are A+ members of the Better Business Bureau. We accept personal checks, business checks, money orders and most major credit cards.

"We had them complete our pre closing inspection. They missed that the chimney was severely damaged and needs replaced entirely. This is a huge expense and instead of living up to their $10,000 garauntee (which still wouldn't cover the cost but would certainly help) they simply fell off with communication. I've had two chimney companies agree. The guy never even got up on the roof."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.
