"I retained Pat to prepare construction drawings in late 2020 for our new home on the Oregon coast. As a retired Structural Engineer, I can tell you that I was very happy with the entire drawing package prepared for our house. There was no problem getting a building permit. Pat used her usual structural engineering consultant to provide the necessary engineering for our house. I reviewed the architectural as well as the structural engineer’s drawings in detail. The entire package was very professional. I would recommend The Design Department, Inc. to any person wanting to have plans prepared for a custom home."

"Josh has always been prompt and communicative with every interaction we've had. I initially got in touch with him about new construction design questions, and when we discovered that our current home porch posts had rotted through due to faulty design by the original home designer, Josh jumped into action. He had his engineer and construction crew to our door within 24 hours to take a look and put together a plan. He took my design ideas and brought them to life. He was transparent about all parts of the cost (to include his profit), and gave us to option to lower the cost by hauling away debris and painting the porch (which we were more than willing to do). Any delays with the work were met with a phone call and followup email if he didn't get through to either my husband or I immediately, and the construction crew did very high quality work. We were beyond pleased with his customer service! We will definitely use Revival Home Designs in the future when we decide to build our forever home."

"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."

"Heirloom Homes, led by their foreman Jason, exceeded our expectations in every way. What started as a simple trim and wall painting project quickly evolved into a full-scale home remodel—simply because of Jason’s commitment to quality and craftsmanship. From the beginning, his attention to detail and high standards were obvious. He was very firm with all the contractors he brought in in a way we could NEVER do. As we saw his work come to life, we kept adding new projects, confident that he would deliver nothing short of excellence. Before we knew it, our entire home had been transformed. Jason seamlessly blended old with new, ensuring that every addition fit perfectly with the vintage farmhouse aesthetic we love. The kitchen remodel was especially impressive—he custom-built additional cabinets to match our existing ones, applied a beautiful patina finish, leveled the floors, installed new flooring, upgraded the sink and lighting fixtures, and even designed a custom dining table to complement the space. The bathrooms were just as stunning, with completely remodeled spaces, crazy good tile work, and a breathtaking floor-to-ceiling steam shower (we LOVE it!) Beyond the big projects, Jason and his team handled everything from custom motorized window shades to new stairs, complete interior and exterior painting, and countless other details that elevated our home to a whole new level. If you’re looking for a contractor who truly cares about quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction, we can’t recommend Heirloom Homes enough. Jason has an incredible eye for detail and the ability to bring a vision to life while maintaining the character of a home. We are beyond thrilled with the results and grateful for the care and expertise he put into every part of our renovation."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

Foundation cracks that are 1/8 inch wide or less, aren’t uneven across the gap, and don’t continue widening over time are usually just normal settling cracks and don’t suggest structural issues. Horizontal cracks and stair-step cracks on foundation walls, any cracks that continue widening, are wider than 1/8 inch, or where one side juts out beyond the other, are often indicative of structural damage.

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.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.
