"Mr Mikaeel immediately contacted me once I put in a request on Home Advisor. He explained his services and he offered me more options than I had received from other engineers. Those options included paying less money which I appreciated right away. He knew I didn't have much time to work with and we scheduled the next day. He arrived on time, was very personable, very professional, explained what I needed to know and also gave me great news. I will recommend him to anyone that needs a structural engineer Thank you Home Advisor!"

"We are so glad we decided to go with F&D Development for our 2nd floor remodel project blueprints. What a great experience! We came to him with a vague concept of what we wanted and he worked with us to design something that was much better than what we were envisioning. I have zero hesitation recommending him for any structural engineering project or home build/remodel/addition project. We could not be more satisfied with his effort, ability, and results. Steve was always on time for meetings, quick to respond to email/phone, and is well priced."

"

Other than the price,  Sears is a reputable company I trust, and have great products and warrenties.

The Furnace works great. I had it installed 2 years ago.
The A/C work well as well. I had it install ~1 Year about
I had teh water heater installed about the same time. Works great.
And Lastly, I had the Roof-work completed. The only problem that I had with the roof is that they had to replace the baseboards on the roof. They should have caught that at the begenning. I had to pay an extra $5,000. I'm still happy with the end product."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.
