"I called a few different companys for them to come out and give me an estimate on what i had in mind to be done. (3 total) One company made me feel dumb for not being sure on what i wanted exactly done. The second company give me a crazy high bid even after i told them im working with a budget, and the thrid company was copperhead contracting which turned out to be the company i went with. They game me an estimate that was lower then the first two and even helped me decide on things i didnt have picked out like the type of windows i wanted, even down to the knobs for the cabinets! Now i felt better after talking with them so i did hire them as my contractor. It took them a couple of weeks to get it done however it turned out better then i had imagined! The crewmen came across a few difficulties but they handled it well. Id like to say it was worth hiring copperhead contracting. Id love to work with the same guys for any of my future projects."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

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.

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.

Through proper drainage solutions and compacting the foundation soil.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.
