"Crosstown Engineering recently inspected the slab foundation of my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and clear communication stood out.

ABOUT US: Maston Designs© builds personalized and innovative fences and outdoor structures. We specialize in the strength, elegance, and longevity of outdoor living areas with an emphasis on their user interfaces - the components handled and utilized the most. THE USER INTERFACE: We are the home of the Fence Door© - a highly structured fence access that dramatically outpaces the traditional fence gate regarding strength, aesthetics, and longevity, which also offers higher security than a traditional fence gate. It has been said that the Fence Door© is our greatest salesman. Once you experience one you will never be satisfied with anything less. At Maston Designs©, the Fence Door© is not an upgrade, but comes standard with every fence we build. Additionally, we build these, and other types of accesses, to either be obvious and ornate or inconspicuous and secret. IT'S PERSONAL: For a personalized look, we design and install customized trim to match each customer’s style. COST SAVINGS: We provide three ways for the homeowners' dollar to go further. First, we do not up-charge our materials. Customers pay the same discounted prices we pay. Second, because we do not up-charge our materials, we do not have to charge sales tax. Third, Maston Designs© can either build the fence for our customer at typical costs, or we can orchestrate a Maston Designs© Fence Party© U Crew which can lower the labor costs associated with the project. A Maston Designs© Fence Party© is like a good ol’fashioned barn raising. It's a fun, well-organized, skill building time that allows our customers to save on costs by recruiting voluntary labor (the U Crew) for basic activities associated with the project instead of paying for a full Maston Designs© crew to do specific work that most anyone can do. Similarly to helping someone move, a Fence Party© U Crew is comprised of volunteer friends, family, and neighbors. It is a community-building event with good food and fun while helping with some basic labor. OUR REASON FOR STARTING: Many fences have been built in the recent years throughout North Texas. Within a few months a large portion of them develop structural and/or aesthetic problems. A fence is an investment that is supposed to improve a home's value and security for years to come; however, an investment that prematurely deteriorates is an asset that quickly converts into a liability. Hardworking families need an alternative to spending their money on a design that doesn't last. This is why Maston Designs© was started. At Maston Designs© we build with the knowledge that process is as important as the ingredients. It is the difference between unite and untie - forward and froward. Maston Designs© engineers their structures to far exceed code requirements and the common practices of construction. With everything we build it is our pleasure to know we added strength, elegance, and longevity into the community and our customer's home.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Trusses and rafters each have advantages and disadvantages, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. For example, trusses are more affordable and often come in prefabricated kits, so they’re easier to build than rafters. However, rafters are available in a variety of designs, so it’s easier to find one that fits your style preferences. Plus, if you want to build an attic at some point down the line, it’s far easier to do that with rafters rather than trusses.

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.

Hiring a structural engineer costs about $550 on average. However, prices range from as low as $200 up to $1,500. Structural engineers may charge by project, hourly, or by the square footage, making it important to understand how your chosen engineer structures their estimates. Additional cost factors include project type, the scope of work, the size of the project, and your geographic location.

It’s possible to drill into an LVL beam, but you should always avoid it. LVL beams are major structural components of your home, and drilling into them can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you need to drill into an LVL beam, consult a structural engineer. They’ll know the bit size, depth, and directionality that’s safe to use when drilling.

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab can support around 4,000 pounds per square foot if a contractor reinforces the slab with rebar, while that same slab without reinforcements will support closer to 1,000 pounds. For the purposes of a patio, 4 inches in thickness without reinforcement should suffice unless you’re installing heavy kitchen equipment or a hot tub on it. In those cases, reinforcing your slab and sticking with 4 inches of thickness should provide plenty of strength.
