"It went great! Mr. Kamran responded quickly and professionally to visit a property we were selling that the buyer was trying to have us concede thousands for issues that were minor. For our piece of mind we hired Mr. Ohi who providedus with a verbal assessment which was very thorough and indicated only minor repairs were needed. When we had purchased the house the settlement cracks were already there and they had not changed in 13 years. What we did not know was that those cracks should always be filled in. It was an $800-1500 repair and the buyers had been told it could be $5000-25000 by their unprofessional home inspector, exaggerating hone inspector. Having Mr. Ohi’s evaluation, which he allowed us to videotape gave us strength to negotiate from a position of power. If we were buying a home with any suspected structural issues, we would definitely call upon him again. Very reasonable, accessible and accommodating. Wish all providers could be so professional. The key with Mr. Ohi is that he isn’t in the business to offer repair services so give so you get an independent and unbiased opinion. In short he was a terrific provider. Highly recommend."

"Bashir and Noorullah were a pleasure to work with. They were very detailed, providing a full set of plans to have a load-bearing wall removed in my home. Bashir was attentive and he and Noorullah answered all my questions. I would have no problem providing a strong recommendation for Structurist for any structural engineering needs especially when it comes to your home."

"Paul is a very knowledgeable and experienced structural engineer. He helped us to understand the build structure of our home and how to approach some improvement projects the right way, as well as what to avoid. It was great peace of mind to have him come out before hiring contractors to begin projects because we now understand build code and safety requirements associated with our big ideas!"

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

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

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.

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.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.
