"I would not recommend this company. They performed fire escape inspections at two of our commercial properties and charged an outrageous amount for each. To make matters worse, they failed to communicate their payment terms upfront and then demanded full payment immediately upon receipt of the invoices?totaling thousands of dollars. Their communication throughout the process was unprofessional and unnecessarily rude. There are plenty of other companies that offer the same services with better transparency and professionalism. Look elsewhere."

General contractor. Owner operated. No employees. Cost is determined by job. No travel charges. Award Winning.

"Clint remodeled my upstairs and downstairs bathrooms in 2019. I originally thought he had done a great job, but my naivety got the best of me. I brushed off things like paint splatters and runs (though he made multiple comments on the pride he took on his paint work), and tile not set flush or with even/consistent grout gaps (he blamed it on my old house w no right angles/flat walls or floors), but I didn't have a great frame of reference back then. Clint went MIA mid way through the project, ghosting me only responding after I reached out to the design consultants that subcontracted him. He said he had ran into health/family complications, along with other prior scheduled projects, but his lack of communication left me to wonder. He eventually returned but technically never completed my bathrooms, as he never finished the upstairs threshold. Worst thing was his choice of metal flashing for the shower pan. I just had to demo the entire shower due to corrosion and leaks to downstairs. "

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

Because of their composite structure, cutting or drilling LVL beams can compromise their integrity. We strongly advise contacting a general contractor or structural engineer before making any alterations to LVL beams. Professionals can also answer questions about choosing between a pier and beam versus slab foundation when designing your project.

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.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.
