"Save your money and look elsewhere. Dave and Kim are not concerned about your best interest. You will spend at least 500 and have nothing to show for it. Lots of empty promises and miscommunication. If I save 1 person money this review is worth it."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

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.

The standard thickness for an LVL beam is between 1.75 inches and 7 inches. However, you can order LVL beams in non-standard sizes as well. When you work with a contractor, they can source beams that are the appropriate size for your project for you after assessing your blueprints.

Clean regularly, treat wood for weather resistance, and inspect for damage to ensure longevity.
