At Level Engineering, we are committed to common sense, real-world engineering solutions. We started Level because, after years in the building industry (Civil, Structural, Home Building, etc.) we continued to see something missing in our industry that cost homeowners untold stress and frustration, lost contractors time and money, and real estate agents and lenders were left unable to satisfy their client's needs. We decided to do something about it, and Level Engineering was founded. We serve your interests and provide knowledgeable expert inspection, analysis, recommendation, design, and reporting. So whether your need is for permitting, forensics, foundation problems, new or repair engineering designs; or just for your peace of mind, let us help you navigate your structural engineering projects. Our headquarters is in Colorado and we are currently expanding into many other states.
"I initially rated Level Engineering as 1-star; however, all issues have been remedied. Maybe my experience with a local engineer and the local office was a one-off because I do see many positive reviews. My issues with the engineer assigned to my project was he was a poor communicator and lacked accountability. There was also an issue with the structural drawings, something I didn't know to catch, but the City of Henderson caught during permitting. How the local office reacted to the discrepancy was unsatisfactory, but with the support of Customer Relations and the company's CEO, the issue was resolved. 3 star rating is more than fair for the Las Vegas office of Level Engineering."

"Happy to be the first to leave a review. I'd give 10 stars if I could! Todd and his team were OUTSTANDING from start to finish. Not only does he have an amazing eye but he's a great human being!! Fair price and no-nonsense. I told Todd from the beginning he could have full creative control. We had some ideas that he turned into something we never could have imagined. INCREDIBLE!!! I added a "Before" photo of what the backyard had become after the weather and our dogs ruined a lush St. Augustine yard over the last couple of years. I would recommend Todd and the Heroes team to anyone looking for quality work from a respectful crew."

The timeline for basement ceiling modifications spans four to 12 weeks, with the specific duration depending on your chosen method and project complexity. Floor-lowering projects often require more time due to careful excavation and foundation reinforcement processes.
Weather conditions, permit processing, and unexpected structural discoveries can extend the projected timeline. Most homeowners should prepare for some disruption to normal household activities during critical construction phases.
Converting previously unusable basement space into a functional living area often increases your home's assessed value, which may impact property tax obligations. Tax assessment practices vary significantly between municipalities, with some jurisdictions basing calculations on finished square footage.
To avoid surprises, contact your local tax assessment office before beginning construction to understand potential tax implications and budget accordingly for any anticipated increases.
Engaging a qualified structural engineer represents an essential first step for any basement ceiling project. These professionals evaluate foundation integrity, soil conditions, and load-bearing requirements to determine feasibility and recommend appropriate approaches.
Their expertise helps prevent potentially catastrophic structural issues while ensuring compliance with building codes. Although this consultation adds to initial expenses, it provides crucial guidance that may prevent costly mistakes or safety hazards.
Historic or aging properties present unique challenges when modifying basement ceiling heights. Older construction methods, outdated materials, and accumulated settlement issues require specialized assessment. Heritage designations may impose additional restrictions or requirements on modification approaches.
House-raising often provides advantages for older homes with compromised foundations, as it allows simultaneous foundation repair or replacement during the ceiling height modification process.
While professional contractors must handle all structural modifications, homeowners with appropriate skills may complete certain finishing aspects independently. Tasks potentially suitable for DIY include non-structural elements like painting, trim installation, or basic finishing work.
However, all excavation, foundation modification, and house-lifting operations require specialized equipment and expertise. Attempting structural work without proper qualifications creates significant safety risks and potential property damage.
