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."

At Green Mechanical, we pride ourselves in being honest and transparent. Our focus is honesty, quality and integrity. We personally take the time to make sure you are 100% happy with our services! " We are a family-owned company who takes pride in ourselves for being forthright and transparent. Our focus is honesty, quality and integrity. ''

"A Raving Review for Green Mechanical LLC! If you’re looking for the absolute best HVAC service around, look no further than Green Mechanical LLC! This company is truly a gem, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the incredible service they provided. My heater had been misdiagnosed by another company, leaving my family and me in the cold—literally! Thankfully, I called Green Mechanical LLC, and they completely turned things around. From the moment I called, I knew I was in good hands. Devin Green, the owner himself, came to my house to personally assess the issue. This level of dedication and care is something you just don’t see every day! Devin’s professionalism, deep expertise, and genuine commitment to solving the problem made all the difference. He didn’t just slap on a temporary fix or rush through the job—he made sure to thoroughly diagnose the issue and explain every step of the process to me. A huge shoutout to Jacob and G, who also worked on my system. They were punctual, knowledgeable, and incredibly respectful of my home. Their teamwork and attention to detail were top-notch, and it was clear they take immense pride in their work. Thanks to Devin, Jacob, and G, my heater is now working perfectly, and my family can finally enjoy a warm, comfortable home again! I also want to emphasize how important it is to support small businesses like Green Mechanical LLC. These are the companies that truly care about their customers and their communities. Devin and his team are local experts who go above and beyond to deliver top-notch service, and they deserve every bit of your trust and business. If you need HVAC services—whether it’s a repair, installation, or just regular maintenance—do yourself a favor and call Green Mechanical LLC. Their commitment to excellence, fair pricing, and outstanding customer service make them a company you’ll want to recommend to everyone you know. Thank you, Devin, Jacob, and G, for your amazing work and dedication. You’ve earned a lifelong customer! 🌟"

"I had a federal pacific panel replaced. The technician and work were professional. However, I explained to the technician that I lost power in a large section of wall. After the job was complete, I found I still didn’t have power in the wall. Now I’m being told it is a separate job and cost. An explanation before having the work done about it being a separate problem and needing additional work would have been very helpful. All I’m told now is they can come out for a service call which is $212 plus whatever the issue is. This was a miscommunication error on Mr. Electrics side. I informed the tech about the problem and there was no testing on the wall afterwards. Very disappointed."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

General contractors typically manage home renovation or build projects that last more than a week and involve various skilled tradespeople. Some examples include building a new home or barn, adding an extension or garage, or carrying out major room remodels involving extensive plumbing, electrical, and structural changes.

Depending on your structure, you may not need planning permission. Major excavation, anything that changes the external appearance of your home, or any construction that will affect your neighbors will need planning permission. However, no planning permission is required if you’re just converting an existing space into a root cellar.

Common pitfalls include underestimating the cost of site preparation, overlooking permit and utility fees, and not setting aside funds for unexpected changes. Change orders during construction can disrupt your budget. It’s best to plan a detailed budget, obtain multiple quotes, and include a 10% to 15% contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

A construction lien results from unpaid services. For instance, if a homeowner hires a contractor to do a large renovation on their home and then fails to pay for the services and materials, the contractor can take out a lien on the property. This lien is a legal claim against the property for the amount of money owed. If the homeowner does not pay their debt, the lien may stay on the title until the homeowner tries to sell and cannot do so until the title is cleared.

While some people are confident in their ability to replace concrete by drilling out the broken pieces and replacing them with bagged concrete, it’s possible to run into snags that make hiring a professional worth it. Trying to level concrete slabs can require special equipment, which can be pricey to rent and tough to operate. It's also crucial to contact your town's municipal office to ensure you are allowed to take on the project without a permit.
