"The service was very reasonably priced in comparison to other quotes that I had received. The service was prompt and I received a formal report days before the initial estimate of completion. I would definitely recommend hiring Ista Engineers for any type of structural work!"

"I purchased a big deal coupon for this company. As far as I can recall it seemed to have gone well.  I don't recall of having any issues.  They did their job quite satisfactorily.  They identified a number of times a problem, we were very busy so we were constantly out of town so they were trying to get a hold of us and we weren't able to talk to them, but we eventually got the final report and that was just fine.  It worked well."

"Metro Construction is an all around fabulous company to work with!!  They replaced our roof in July 2013.  The sales person, project manager and crew were all around professional and wonderful to work with.  The work was done in a timely and well manner.  Since last summer we have contracted with Metro again to replace all of the windows in our home this spring and paint the exterior of our home this summer.  The windows are very good quality and the price was very comparable to the other bids we received.  The crew that installed the windows did a great job and again were very professional and cleaned up very well after the job was done.  The paint crew that painted our home were very meticulous and detailed.  I would definitely recommend Metro Construction to any one needing home renovations done! <br />"

"Have not yet received written report, but due tomorrow. This was consult only so no work done. PE informed that if work was to be done my HOA must approve and choose company to perform work. HOA also pays for work if determined necessary. I personally paid for consult because wanted outside opinion from that of HOA maintenance engineer."

"My husband and I just bought a home, Sept. 1, 2015. and both bathrooms had to be gutted and remodeled.  The sellers did not disclose to us, the buyers, how completely useless the upstairs bathtub/shower unit was because of their decision to use Re-Bath. Looks beautiful on the outside, but Re-Bath uses inferior products and moronic installers. When their product and installations fail, your problem. They will fix the mess with another mess and charge you again. They do not stand behind anything. <br /> In addition to the upstairs being useless for bathing, that left us with only being able to use the downstairs shower stall, located in the basement laundry room and (big enough for a small child only) But because we used the realtor's recommendation for the highly overpaid, useless , can't really be bothered, I'd rather be golfing, home inspector,  to do his job correctly for the amount of money that is paid, he also didn't catch the fact that the downstairs bathroom had a leak that had damaged the walls for years. So that had to be gutted, down to the framing and remodeled. Ironically enough, we were only going to have the walls painted downstairs and the painters were the ones that alerted us to the water damaged walls.  <br /> After contacting several companies and getting several bids for both bathrooms, that needed to be done ASAP, we found Dave and he gave us a time frame and bid for both bathrooms to be gutted down to the framing and complete remodel with a bid that couldn't be beat. Both him and his son worked very hard and were very considerate and respectful. Dave was always on board with our ideas, without any questions,  and was also very intuitive and smart at giving us the option for his ideas which we really appreciated.  <br /> He's a good, honest, hard working, nice guy. Highly recommended.  <br /> My husband and I both will definitely use him again for any project. <br />"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Colorado Springs, 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.
