David was on time and very professional. He spent an appropriate amount of time evaluating the 2 areas we had requested. He documented the inspection w/ photos, measurements, and sketches. He provided a verbal preliminary report and is to provide a written final report w/ specifications for the mods we are proposing. (Removing a wall upstairs and a post downstairs.) We were happy to hear that our mods were going to be less complicated than originally thought and consequently less expensive. We have the peace of mind that the proposed changes are structurally sound and will be done correctly.

"Working around the house initially made us nervous but it was clear then and throughout the project that Suncrest?s engineers are incredibly skilled and excellent builders. Work started in June and finished in September. We were sad to see them go! Bryan, the foreman, was fantastic throughout, and communicating regularly and making sure that our lives were minimally disrupted. He answered every question we had ? even going out of their way to research energy issues not relevant to the work they were doing. 
Although there was an expected hiccup of a re-design based on what they found after starting, Suncrest tackled those as timely as possible. They responded to every request or question with a can-do attitude.  In fact because of the extra time spent waiting for plans to be re-done and re-assigning crews to finish the job, they elected not to charge us some of the overrun charges that come with a job of this scale. 
The stairs far exceeded our expectations; we were completely blown away. To say they installed new stairs is like saying Michelangelo painted a church ceiling. Every detail was addressed with top-of-the-line materials. When we explained we were concerned about paint fumes, they didn?t hesitate to specially order water-based stain. They matched our existing stairs as much as possible (handrails, paint color, floor molding, even bar railing) and covered their work throughout the house so that it actually looked better than before. 
All in all, I would highly recommend working with Suncrest.  They are professional, ethical, friendly and will work with you to find the right design. They do it all, from electric, to woodwork, to plumbing.  We would not hesitate to use them again.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most lenders and homeowner’s insurance companies don’t mandate a structural engineer’s inspection, so in most cases, it’s not required. However, it’s a good idea to have one done anyway to ensure you know what you’re buying. You can use the report to carry out repairs after closing or even to negotiate the sale price before closing.

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

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.

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.
