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.

"The house is rather cottage looking, and we wanted to use natural material in a natural looking way. Chad was able to follow the idea of what we wanted and ran with it with some embellishments of his own.
He used gravel and rocks to create a pull over on a narrow driveway. He built a planting area next to the pullover and around a light post (his idea), which enhanced the look. We had rotting timber on some stairs, which he replaced and evened out the rise on the steps making them easier to use. He created a meandering, gently sloped path from midway down the back yard to those stairs, again, using gravel and rocks. The point at which the path begins had been a gravel and timber raised platform used as a sitting area/patio apart from the house. He put matching gravel and rocks around the area which ties the two structures together. With surplus gravel, he refreshed our front walk (gravel) and added some to the driveway so that the turnout and drive flow seamlessly. These last two he did on his initiative with the result that the overall effect on the front yard makes the new additions blend. We've had positive comments by neighbors on both the front and the back work.
We hope to connect the back path to the rear of the house, use preexisting steps leading from the patio as a terraced planter, and replace timber lining the front walk at a later date. We would approach him to do the work.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The National Association of Home Builders requires repair of any foundation crack of more than one quarter of an inch, although local regulations may vary. In general, any visible crack that is growing in size, allowing water through, or that you have just noticed, is a good reason to call a structural engineer. Cracks can be a sign of a sinking foundation, so an inspection is a good idea for your peace of mind.

Absolutely, as it ensures designs are viable and won’t compromise structural integrity.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.

If your home's foundation was damaged due to shifting soil, the same problem will reoccur unless you stabilize the structure by adding posts in the bedrock.
