Customers say: True professional

"I was extremely satisfied with Josiah Overstreet of Crosstown Engineering, whom I think did a thorough and excellent job. Joe was punctual, professional, and personable. He took measurements throughout the house, documented his work, and later took time to answer additional questions that I had concerning his work and the work and reputation of Structured Repair, which he said was stellar. He answered every question I had thoroughly and in a way that I could follow and comprehend. I do not know what the cost of the service would have been, because the payment for Josiah and Crosstown were included in the price I paid to Structured Engineered for an independent review of their work."

"Montana’s did a superior job on the design and plans for my bardominium buildout project. Greg was very attentive to details, professional, timely and thorough. He made the process so much easier by bringing in his expertise of being a hands on builder for many years giving him a more well rounded understanding of construction. I highly recommend using them for your next residential or commercial project."

"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."

"We asked for several changes during the plans development process. Each change was incorporated with no problems. The value was great for the cost. I would recommend using Top Dawg again, or for anyone who needs Professional Engineered approved plans."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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)

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems. 

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.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Structural engineers are necessary for projects involving alterations to load-bearing structures, foundation work, and compliance with safety standards. This includes home expansions, retaining walls, and significant repairs that impact a property's integrity.
