"We wanted to keep the original maple floors and hardwood cabinets in our kitchen, but still have it be transformed into a modern, beautiful, and functional kitchen. In the end, everything looked as if it were designed to go together. More than that, our kitchen looked like a picture from the kitchen design website that my husband and I visited for inspiration. The renovation was done in the timeframe that we requested and with a budget that met our needs. I would definitely work with Kristi and her team again."

"A building inspection I had done on my lovely lannonstone home (built in 1939) suggested there might be structural or drain tile problems in the basement. Jeff scheduled a wuick appointment and honestly told me that the leakage could be solved by mudjacking portions of the driveway adjacent to the area of leakage, a much less experienced and messy solution. I very much appreciated his honesty and fair dealing. He also walked the entire perimeter of the house to evaluate the landscape grading and emailed me a written report of his visit the next day."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on desk size, labor, included features like drawers or motorized height adjustments, and required wall anchoring.

The best way to determine if ceiling cracks are structural is to hire a ceiling contractor to inspect the cracks and provide a professional opinion. That said, you might be able to make an educated guess based on the size and appearance of the crack. Larger cracks, cracks accompanied by sagging or discoloration, and cracks that travel from the ceiling down the walls are all signs of structural issues.

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. 

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.

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.
