"This company is amazing!! I had 3 bids, and they were by far the most thorough and competively priced. The other "big boy" in town was far far more expensive and did not even fully cover the engineer plans. Gaidish started ahead of schedule...much to my delight, had it done in 4 days, cleared out things in front of walls (other competitors told me I would have to do it), and completely removed debris and swept up better than Cinderella. The crew was super friendly and helpful. I actually had a power outage that day which turned off the heat in the middle of sub-zero temperature. They called me immediately as they were concerned the pipes would freeze (the house was vacant at the time). I cannot say enough good things about this company. Get your bids if you like....but trust these guys and choose them to do the job right."

"Dan from Construct Boss recently remodeled our 30 year old bathroom and brought it from hideous to absolutely beautiful. Dan was respectful of both our time schedule and our budget. He made informed suggestions when we didn't quite know what to choose and he walked us through every selection and procedure. He was skilled, professional and a genuinely nice guy. The end result was better than I ever could have imagined. He will now forever be our go-to guy for our future projects. If you're looking for an honest guy to do a fabulous job, Dan at Construct Boss is your man."

The price was affordable and the work was great, once finished he cleaned after himself and made sure we were satisfied. I would definitely refer this company to anyone I know who needs any home repair work. Chris met our expectations and beyond with the affordable price and high quality service along with a time frame."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.

Yes, an LVL beam is more affordable than the cost of a steel I-beam, totaling between $50 and $200 per linear foot as opposed to the $100 to $400 per linear foot you’d pay for a steel I-beam. Not only is the wood material more affordable than steel, but it’s also more similar to traditional wooden beams and doesn’t require as much retrofitting to connect joists.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.

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.
