"This man seemed very professional, but I was somewhat dissatisfied with two things; 1) he told me after the inspection he would recommend businesses to do any or all repairs. I clarified this would include interior damage caused by the potential structural damage and he agreed. This was not the case. I felt like this was part of the service I paid for, since it was agreed upon prior to me contracting him. When I brought this to his attention, he stated he would not recommend anyone, and that I should check with the BBB for contractors to do the work. This just was not acceptable; however, I had already paid him in full, so there's little I could do. 2) he recommend a beam be removed under my sink area. This beam had recently been installed by another structural engineer hired by my association. I had two other companies agree that the beam should be placed there to prevent sagging under my kitchen counters. I inquired about this beam and asked if he was sure it should be removed. He did not care to elaborate, but only suggested that it be removed. You would think a detailed explanation would be possible, as this man is not inexpensive. Anyway, he seemed very detailed, and he was polite, but I would have hoped he would have fulfilled the terms he agreed upon prior to receiving payment. If I had to hire another structural engineer, I would not hire him again for this reason."

"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."

"Mark was great! He was very thorough and helped us identify what most critically needed to be addressed in our home. Having him offer a neutral 3rd party opinion helped ease our minds regarding the various projects that need to be completed. Highly recommend."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

A freestanding brick wall that's only one brick thick can usually stand six to eight feet high. If you need a higher wall, it should be at least two bricks thick for adequate stability, and it might require a footing to support the added weight. Additionally, some areas have regulations and codes dictating how high a brick wall can be, so check with local code enforcers to ensure your proposed wall complies with any regulations.

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. 

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
