"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."

"We contracted Greg Pappas, Pappas Enterprises LLC to resurface/rebuild our very large (approximately 1200 Sq Ft) elevated deck. The scope of work included removing/replacing existing wooden decking material, handrails, and three sets of stairs and stair rails as well as 3 gates. The project scope was broadened shortly afterwards to include replacing 3 of 15 support posts, as well as the deck joists supporting the lower level of the deck. Greg and Jeremy preformed the work completely, exceeding our expectations; which is probably because they both believe in placing QUALITY before QUANTITY as it relates to their work. The jobsite was well maintained throughout the process, to include cleaning up the area daily; saw cuts were tightly fitted to each other. The obvious question is would we hire Pappas Enterprises again? The answer is YES and without hesitation. If we could give them a 'SOX STAR RATINGS', I would. That said, they've fully earned a 5 Star rating. Call them, you WON'T be disappointed."

"Brad is very skilled. He's professional and works in a timely manner. He did amazing work at our new build home. Trim, figuring out how to do custom install for unique doors, hidden bookcase door, outdoor work with the CAT (he actually helped fix a mechanical issue with the CAT), building closets, specially designed staircase railing that was very custom. He did it all. We will use him again and again. he's wonderful!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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 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.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.
