"From the minute they got out of the truck to check our project, to give us a bid we knew they were the company we would hire. They seemed to know what we wanted by way of design and finish, before we spoke. Where other companies had said flat out “We won’t do this.” “Too much work removing old concrete.” Poor access.” Moli said, “Yes, this old concrete gotta go. But, it’s no problem. We bust it up. We take it out.” At the end of the first day all of the old concrete had been removed and taken away. At the end of day two all the forms were set. Day three was rebar and detail work making all ready for the pour. Day four The concrete was poured stamped and finished. On day five everything was picked up cleaned up and they were gone. These are good people. They do good work and they are as honest as the day is long."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

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

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.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.
