"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."

"Pedro & his team have worked on several projects in & around my property. His team is FAST & provides high quality work at a fair price. I first received a quote to paint the exterior brick on my home. He provided an excellent quote, and my house was fully painted by the next evening. He has since completed a complete remodel of my downstairs, including removing a wall to open up my space. He was extremely flexible with us as we kept adding items to the original contract. We decided to add additional work to the outside of the house as well. His guy (Tony) even built a custom TV enclosure & decorative wood accent wall for my patio space. He also built a us custom mantle & installed a 27' high stone accent wall in our living room. I would highly recommend Pedro's team for: Interior/exterior painting, demolition, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, stonework & remodels. I will be calling him again the next time I'm ready for additional work."

"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

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.

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.

First, most contractors will have a structural engineer create a report and plan for your project to ensure it’s safe to cut into the load-bearing wall. The contractor will then excavate around the wall, if necessary, measure the opening—allowing for additional space to fit and level the door, and then cut the doorway out. They will likely install a steel lintel as a header over the door for support. Once the doorway is cut out, they’ll demolish the concrete using sledge hammers and masonry chisels, clean up the surrounding concrete, and seal around the door with masonry mortar. 

Structural engineers specialize in all aspects of a building’s structural integrity, including the foundation. Foundation engineering is a critical part of structural engineering, so structural engineers are experts in foundation design. Many foundation repair companies either have a structural engineer on staff or one they work closely with, so be sure you look for that when deciding who to hire for foundation repair.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
