I am a professional engineer who has expertise in residential structural engineering, home inspection, architectural engineering, and building codes. I get involved in projects where professional structural engineering considerations are involved or that were unveiled during home inspections. I can also perform home inspections as a professional engineer. I am an expert in all building codes and can convey pathways to building code compliance to contractors and homeowners. I perform design work as an architectural engineer (similar to an architect). If a project involves only plans and not a site presence, I can perform work for the entire state and surrounding states. I am a licensed engineer in 34 states.
"I am currently in the process of removing a load bearing wall for my home. I reached out to John P Stoppi for assistance with a support load calculation and sizing of a clear span beam. John was very helpful throughout the whole process."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
