"Nick and Doug, two really great guys. Nick provided honest feedback and gave a really strong bid, I was impressed with his sales acumen and direct communication. Doug was punctual, communicative, and motivating for his crew, and really seemed to go out of his way to make sure the job was done right. Doug's crew worked their butts off and did an outstanding job, it was probably the most frustrating job the crew has done, a very hard excavating pier and beam job. I really appreciate them, especially in knowing the fact that my home and it's foundation is properly repaired and safe for my family."

"Willie was extremely helpful over the phone and offered to go over to the house and give me an estimate free of charge on the same day we spoke (a Saturday at that!). He's been nothing but responsive, professional and honest regarding what needs to go into fixing our issues with our crawl space."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

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.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

Dormers must be able to bear the load of their own construction and the added window. The style of the dormer, however, will determine where the weight loads onto your home's structure. A gable dormer bears the weight on the side walls whereas a shed dormer bears it on the front walls.
