"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

"They repaired the kitchen floor after a serious leak as well as repaired and replaced the subfloor foundational wood beams. We were stuck because we had to have the work done prior to an appraisal of the house in a week. Surprisingly they were able to move quickly and help us out. We were delighted with the professionalism of Chip and his foreman and all the workers! We were happy to share the house with them for a couple days and very pleased with the final work."

"We thought we had foundation problems and contacted CNT for an estimate on repairs. ED VanOsdol came out at the specified
time to give us a quote. Ed generated a computerized lay out of the structure of the house and then crawed under the house and made pictures of the structure. He indentified one problem area which was minor and a potential problem area. He explained
what was happening to the foundation and because it was so minor, he told me how I could fix it myself. I told him that I would
pay for the inspection, but he said it was not necessary. If I ever do have problems with my foundation, I will certainly use them
for the repairs. I would recomend CNT to everyone. They are very professional and honest.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

The 10 10 rule describes the formula most contractors use to determine how much to charge for a job. Allowing for 10% overhead above the total projected cost to do the work and 10% profit sets a contractor up for success, even if there are delays or other problems on the project. This formula isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, but it is a ballpark figure to begin with when estimating your expenses on a job.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.
