"This is the second time I have used Don. I am a property manager and have been searching for a good/honest contractor for the last 6 years and I have to say that I found one with Quality Solutions. We had an apartment get totally flooded from walls to floors and Don came and did the work and you could never tell there was anything wrong. He did amazing work not only was the tenant impressed but so was I. I highly recommend him for any job big or small that needs to be done!!"

"Had a good positive approach to the task at hand and used a professional sub-contractors to rebuild my home to a higher standard. Provided complete loss assessment and followed cost compliant construction standards while interacting on my behalf with the Insuarance Company. This was a job which was most heartfelt and Tidewater Builders made me feel secure the whole way through the tedious process of dealing with the insuarnce co."

"This was a major design project in our second home, with a deadline for our daughter's April wedding. Marva Williams, owner of DWOTC, worked with me from the very beginning (Oct 2016) to give our house a much needed upgrade to "Coastal Chic" without being overly cutesy-beachy. As this was a long distance management project for me, Marva became my onsite eyes and ears, regularly sending text and photo updates. Her attention to detail in supplying detailed quotes and samples, room by room and item by item idea book, follow-up discussions and revisions, and personal responsibility for the security of our house was always professional and friendly with complete dedication to the success of the project and our happiness with the result. Always open to my ideas, Marva's own design sense and years of experience captured the style I desired for our home, and she worked out every detail with me, persevering until I was satisfied with the plans. Work began in early January 2017, and as I was not present for the messy interior work involving painting, flooring and bathroom vanity construction, and furniture deliveries, Marva managed her work crews efficiently and arranged for a thorough commercial cleaning after they were finished. She accepted my online purchase shipments at her office and brought them to my house in her almost daily 20 mi (one-way)commute. I was so pleased when I made my first on-site visit, about 6 weeks into the project. Marva had placed the new furniture and accessories, used existing bedding to make up beds, hung some existing art work, included a surprise custom embroidered sofa pillow, and even added a bouquet of fresh flowers to welcome me to my beautiful home. During my visit we worked together to identify punch list items and make new choices for the master bedroom furniture (Marva readily agreed to take back the first selections which were too big for the space). Additionally she worked with her specialty painter to redo the finish of the kitchen tabletop (650 year old cypress she had sourced!) The wedding deadline was achieved and the result is lovely-- a calm, cool, and charmingly comfortable home that we can enjoy for more than just summertime. Marva prepared all revised quotes and payment schedules, emailing scanned invoices and outside vendor (plumbing, electrical) bills to me for payment. Her initial deposit and agreement was fair and concise; accounting of payments to her were accurate and timely. At final project completion, sign-off and payment, Marva presented me with a notebook with room-by-room paint chips, information for furnishing fabric care, and warranties. Extra paint cans were labeled and stored in plastic bins. A delightful woman to work with, Marva has an endearing personality and good sense of humor, which contribute to her positive attitude. Her willingness to work long-distance and her trustworthiness were essential to the success of this project. I HIGHLY recommend Marva Williams and Designing Women of the Carolinas."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

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.

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
