"John came out and looked at several issues, determined them to be cosmetic not structural and wrote a certified letter to that effect. We got great peace of mind from his visit."

"This project went very smoothly and we were extremely impressed with Ryan and his crews. He was always great at communicating with us about the schedule and answering all our questions. I was greatly impressed with his attention to detail and the level of quality with everything from the tile installation to the lighting and electrical work. I would highly recommend Johnson Custom Building for their remodel/home upgrade needs. We definitely plan on using their services again for our next remodeling project."

"We hired Char to help us design an addition to our home in Burien, WA. Our addition adds a 300 sq. ft master suite to our 1100 sq. ft house. Char built our trust quickly. She listened carefully to our concerns, and used her own creativity to make huge improvements to our original plans. Our project wouldn’t have looked the same without her input. Char incorporated very specific requests from us concerning noise reduction, and went above and beyond to research many solutions for us to choose from. Char communicated her schedule clearly, we always knew exactly what she was working on, her deliverables, and what we would discuss in our next meeting. We never had a meeting that wasn’t useful. Char helped us navigate the Burien permit process, making sure the drawing package was complete enough to pass the first time. She reached out to specific city officials ahead of time to anticipate any issues before permit submittal. Char created very detailed drawings and has exceptional drafting skills. She added more detail than required at every stage of the design to help us make critical decisions earlier in the process. Our hired GC complimented Char’s drawing package when we put it out for bid, saying it was better than many that he’s seen. We also hired Char to meet with contractors and review estimates. She was able to help us navigate what was a reasonable price and weed out any weird or misleading estimates. In summary, Char has been a fantastic resource for us and has helped make our first major home improvement project much less daunting."

"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."

"Ward Engineering began working with Jared of Cornerstone Home Designs approximately 3 years ago to perform residential design work using Chief Architect design software. I find Jared to be the most capable Chief Architect designer I have ever worked with. Jared is very efficient and thorough at developing the residential Chief Architect models. In addition to being competent, Jared makes himself available to provide personal 1-on-1 training over the internet, which has been a huge blessing to our company and clients."

"I had the pleasure of working with Bryson on a recent project, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their work. From start to finish, Bryson demonstrated extensive knowledge and expertise in structural engineering. They took the time to understand the project’s unique needs and provided clear, practical solutions that ensured everything was both safe and efficient. One of the standout qualities was their excellent communication. They kept me informed at every stage, answering questions promptly and offering advice when needed. Even when challenges arose, Bryson approached them with professionalism and a problem-solving mindset, ensuring that the project stayed on track. The quality of the work was exceptional. Every detail was carefully considered, and I felt confident in the structural integrity of the design. Bryson truly went above and beyond, offering both technical skill and a genuine commitment to the project’s success. Thank you and I look forward to working with you again."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Seattle homeowners should factor in the city’s variable soil types, high groundwater, and risk of earthquakes when planning structural engineering work. Properties in neighborhoods with steep slopes or near bodies of water may require specialized drainage solutions. Additionally, historic districts may have unique permitting requirements. Scheduling projects during the summer helps avoid rain-related delays, and working with local experts ensures your plans suit Seattle’s distinct geology.

Helpful?

Combining structural engineering projects with upgrades like insulation, plumbing, or electrical work in Seattle can minimize disruption and maximize efficiency. For example, if you’re opening walls for seismic retrofitting, it’s a great time to update wiring or add vapor barriers. Coordinating projects during Seattle’s dry season helps avoid weather delays, and bundling improvements can streamline the permit process and reduce the overall construction timeline.

Helpful?

Your Seattle home may need structural engineering if it’s older, especially pre-1970s, or located in areas with soft soils or steep grades. Signs like uneven floors, gaps around windows, or visible foundation cracks often indicate underlying issues. Homes in neighborhoods prone to landslides or with a history of flooding should be professionally evaluated, particularly if you’re planning a remodel or have noticed new settling after heavy rainfall.

Helpful?

In Seattle, structural engineering maintenance should include scheduled foundation inspections, especially for homes in neighborhoods like Queen Anne or Magnolia with steep slopes. Annual checks of seismic retrofitting hardware and regular assessments of crawl spaces for moisture intrusion are vital due to the region’s wet climate. Pay close attention to wood framing in basements and retaining walls, as these areas are especially vulnerable to rot, shifting soils, and water seepage.

Helpful?

Completing structural engineering projects in Seattle offers immediate benefits like improved home safety and better protection against earthquakes and heavy storms. In the short term, you may see increased property value and easier insurance approval. Over time, these upgrades help prevent major structural damage, lower maintenance needs, and ensure your home remains compliant with evolving building codes, contributing to a safer, more resilient neighborhood.
