"DO NOT LET THEM IN YOUR HOME WITHOUT PROOF OF LIABILITY INSURANCE! BEWARE! This company and its inspector, C. Scott Burns, do not follow accepted home inspection standards and caused thousands of dollars in damage to my property during a home inspection. Despite providing pictures, documents, and fulfilling every request, the owner, Jeffery Donaldson, refused to pay for the damage. He only communicated through a generic customer support email and repeatedly refused to identify himself. A quick search of court records in Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties will show that he has been involved in numerous lawsuits. I have been forced to seek legal action as well. STAY AS FAR AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY AS POSSIBLE. If you are buying or selling a home in the Charleston, SC area, ask who the inspector is and ensure you get a copy of their insurance policy before allowing them into your home. They will refuse to repair any damage caused by their incompetent inspectors. I am extremely disappointed in this company and its owner, Jeffery Donaldson. I will never let this shady business near any of my homes or my clients’ homes. I want to warn everyone to avoid the same painful process I and many others have experienced. There are many other reputable, knowledgeable, and well-trained inspection companies in the Charleston area, such as Cardinal, Hometeam Inspections, or literally ANYONE ELSE besides ACE Preferred Inspections."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.

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.

Many horizontal cracks in home foundations result from water and soil pressure from outside of the building or from a footing that is shifting. Under those circumstances, horizontal cracks are a structural problem that requires repair before they become worse and more difficult to fix. However, in very specific cases, thin horizontal cracks may simply be a cosmetic blemish due to concrete shrinkage.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

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.
