"When we came close to the completion of our new build I remember feeling daunted at the thought of furniture placement especially with our front entrance, dinning room and family room as they were all connected with no division, very open concept. After moving in, we were overwhelmed with where to start. We contacted Valerie to assist us in making our house a home. Valerie has an eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. She created design boards that reflected a blend of mine and my husband's styles. She really listens to her clients’ needs and preferences. We worked with her to pick out pieces that fit our space and budget. She will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, and she is always available to answer questions and address any concerns. It was a pleasure working with Valerie and her company, Brexton Cole Interiors. She is committed to quality and customer service. We highly recommend Valerie!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

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.

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.
