"In renovating our beach cottage in Warwick, RI we found the roof needed structural work. Building inspector required a structural engineered plan. Adam was easy to communicate with. He was timely with his plan and follow up inspection. He was also available by text and phone for questions during the project. He was great to work with!"

Hi, I’m EDUIN,\n\nI am an experienced handyman with a professional background in architecture and property maintenance. This unique combination allows me to look at your home not just as a set of repairs, but as a complete structural system. I bring a high level of technical precision to every task.\n\nMy Experience:\n\nI have spent years working across both the design and physical upkeep sectors. My transition from architecture to hands-on maintenance means I understand the "why" behind how your home was built, which helps me solve problems more effectively than a standard quick-fix approach.

I am also available to travel to surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius for larger projects or scheduled maintenance.\n\nSpecial Skills & Expertise;\n\nArchitectural Insight: Ability to read blueprints and understand the structural needs of older and modern homes.

"My wife and I weren't very impressed with them. We were looking to add a two car garage on to our house and they would be specing the current house as well as the potential addition. Ultimately, while they did provide some interesting points, their overall pitch wasn't as impressive as the other service providers that we contacted. There was no cost for them to come out and do the quote. The price was fair."

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.

You should avoid drilling or cutting into load-bearing beams because removing material will weaken it and increase the risk of structural damage or even collapse. If you do need to drill into a load-bearing beam, speak with a structural engineer first to discuss where it’s safest to drill and the width and depth of the bit that’s safe to use.

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500
