"Tom at TAS Engineering was professional, friendly, helpful, patient and highly competent and efficient. He did the assessment of my attic structural issue and identified the simplest and most cost-effective solution. He ensured that my contractor did the work to his specifications and provided the certified engineering letter that all had been addressed properly. This was exactly what I needed. I would highly recommend him and would hire him again."

"Darren was professional and courteous. He called to let us know he was running a bit late. He was great at explaining things and very thorough. He got an official report to us in a timely manner. But most importantly he assured us the house we were about to purchase was structurally sound. He even suggested ways to keep the small structural shifts in the older home from occuring."

"After a nightmarish experience with a crooked contractor, I was left on my own to obtain plans and a permit for my unfinished deck. I reached out to ISTA - their structural engineer Pedram has been nothing short of amazing. He came to my property to verify measurements to make sure the drawings would meet code, spent a great deal of time observing all structures and pointing out in great detail everything that needed to be fixed for safety reasons (things that were missed by my city inspector), offered alternatives to costly fixes, then worked very quickly to draw plans as he empathized with my situation. He even called the city's building department and got everything resolved on the spot. Five minutes after his call, my permit was approved!! And through all this, Pedram was so friendly and empathetic. Everyone in that office I spoke to has been very nice as well. I will definitely use ISTA again for all my future projects."

"When I discovered that we needed a structural engineer, I was overwhelmed by trying to seek out a reputable engineer. I happened upon DL Engineering, Inc. on Home Advisor and decided to give them a shot; I'm very happy that I did. Garrett came out to observe a residential property for movement of the foundation. He was extremely professional, thorough, and personable. He answered all of my questions and didn't hesitate to show me various findings and explain why or why not it was an area of concern. Garrett provided me with a very detailed evaluation and I would highly recommend both Garrett and DL Engineering."

"Dan was one of 3 engineers that I contacted for a structural change to the first floor of my residence and to the crawl space below. He was the most knowledgeable, the most reasonably priced, and promised to do the work in the most timely manner. If I could, I would give me 6 out of 5 starts for this. I read one very negative review on Angie's list along with the great reviews. I took it on myself to communicate with Dan just befor the due date for the drawings. Also, there was a small issue in one of his drawings which Dan corrected in 2 days. I can only think that the one negative review was caused by this lack of communication. An easy thing that a client can remedy for an excellent engineer."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Boulder, CO

To determine if a wall is load-bearing, start by checking your home’s original plans or asking a structural engineer. Exterior walls always carry weight, but interior ones only do if they sit over a beam or run perpendicular to floor joists. If a wall lines up with posts in the basement or falls directly under the roof ridge, assume it’s load-bearing and call a professional before attempting to remove it with a sledgehammer.

Calculating the wall load and sizing the beam must be performed by experts to ensure structural safety. You need a structural engineer to evaluate all load aspects and determine the proper beam dimensions. A professional engineer performs precise calculations and advises on any necessary enhancements, such as larger footings for support. An inspector then verifies that the revised structure meets all safety and code regulations before the finishing work begins.

Hiring a structural engineer is essential for ensuring your home remains structurally sound during any major renovation. Their responsibility is to deliver expert assessments and design recommendations for load-bearing modifications. The average cost to hire a structural engineer is $500, with rates ranging from $350 to $800. Consulting a licensed, experienced engineer guarantees that every structural project, whether constructing a new home or remodeling an existing one, is completed safely and efficiently.

Almost all load-bearing wall removals require a permit as they support everything above it, and building departments want proof that the new beam can handle the weight. Pulling a permit triggers plan review and inspections that confirm the work meets local code and safety standards. Skipping this step can lead to fines or being forced to rebuild later, so have your contractor pull the permit before work starts.

Removing a load-bearing wall to create an entrance for a carport or covered patio is a task that comes with defined cost implications. This modification requires extra structural adjustments to ensure safety and proper integration with the adjoining space. When you convert a wall into an entryway, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. The additional work required for this conversion reinforces the home’s integrity and ensures compliance with applicable building codes.
