"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 a fantastic experience working with this drafting firm. From the very first phone call, Kirsten?our drafting consultant? was clear, professional, and incredibly helpful. She explained the entire process in detail and made sure all of my questions were answered up front, which gave me immediate confidence in the team. This firm partnered with engineers and architects to get the best quote for me on a stamp for my plans after they did an exceptional job on drawing the prints that met all the requirements for permitting. Their coordination and attention to detail made the process very simple on my end. If you are looking for a highly capable drafting firm that knows how to get things done right, I highly recommend them!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In Yakima, worsening cracks after irrigation or freeze-thaw cycles, sticking doors or windows, and persistent drainage issues near the foundation are warning signs. Watch for stair-step cracks in masonry, shifting retaining walls, or water intrusion in basements. Changes in rooflines or concrete spalling may indicate deeper problems. Address these signs promptly with a structural inspection to prevent more extensive repairs down the line.

Helpful?

In Yakima, structural engineering projects are shaped by the region’s clay and volcanic soils, which affect foundation stability. The area’s moderate seismic activity and wide temperature swings require careful planning for expansion and contraction. Irrigation systems and hillside lots often demand specialized drainage solutions. Local building codes, the mix of historic and modern homes, and utility layouts all play a role in project design and execution.

Helpful?

Homes in Yakima with post-and-beam construction, multiple additions, or hillside locations often present unique challenges for structural engineering. Features like basements, crawl spaces, or proximity to irrigation canals can complicate access and assessment. If your property uses mixed materials, has undergone several renovations, or is located in a rural area with limited access, expect more detailed planning and possible structural inspection needs.

Helpful?

In Yakima, structural engineering maintenance often includes regular foundation monitoring due to shifting soils and seasonal moisture. Inspect for cracks after freeze-thaw cycles, check seismic connections following tremors, and maintain drainage to prevent water pooling. For homes with retaining walls or crawl spaces, look for movement or moisture. Scheduling periodic structural inspections ensures early detection of issues unique to Yakima’s climate and soil conditions.

Helpful?

Before requesting structural engineering services in Yakima, gather your building permits, previous inspection reports, and any original blueprints. Document visible issues with clear photos, especially cracks or uneven settling. Note your home’s construction year, foundation type, and any additions. Include past structural inspection results, insurance claims for damage, and details on seismic retrofits. This thorough documentation streamlines the assessment and helps engineers recommend the right solutions.
