Hello. [b] House Designs, is pleased to be partnering with HomeAdvisor to offer our full service design and drafting services, to the greater Lexington/Columbia area (and beyond). No job too big or small. I work with those who are wanting to build a new home or renovate their existing one and need someone to work with them to design their home. Sure there are 100's of plan websites out there, but rarely do you find one that is just right. Print off a few that you like and I can work with you to tweak it to become your dream plan. No house is too small or too large. I design using the latest 3D modeling program to allow you, the owner, to truly visualize what your home will look like. Building a new home or renovating your current one can be a daunting task. Let me make that easier for you.

"Outdoor Artisan is as professional as they come. What i look for more than anything else in a contractor is communication skills. If a contractor cannot excel at communication then clients are not going to be happy. Outdoor Artisan was in contact with us every day of this project, even when we were out of town. We knew what was happening, who was coming and going and what they hoped to achieve each week of the project. In addition to the owner, Clive Newey, we worked with Jason Humphrey, our project manager. Jason has a very artistic mind, and was always suggesting ideas to enhance and build upon what we happen to be thinking about at the time; the stain color, ways to finish the structure with elegant trim, the cupola on top and the corner braces. We highly recommend Outdoor Artisan for any outdoor structure, hardscape or landscape project."
"Tommy Hood saved us thousands of dollars with our foundation repair. Others quoted from $8,000 to upwards of $80,000. He fixed it for much less and explained why the other estimated work was not needed. Tommy was honest, dependable and on time. I would consult him before I ever had anything else done on my home regarding structural work."
"WORK PRODUCT WAS EXCELLANT AND CRAFTSMANSHIP WAS SUPERB. WORK AREA ALWAYS KEPT CLEAN AND TIDY AT END OF EVERY DAY. ALL CONCERNS WERE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY AND RESOLVED SATISFACTORLY."
Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts
According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.
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.
Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.
The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.
