"I have known Chris and Sheila for a few years now. My husband and I selected them to be our designers and structural engineers. What a great team they are! They have taken the time to come to our site, have zoom meetings with us. They have the most updated 3D system so you can imagine yourself walking into the house. Chris and Sheila pay attention to the smallest details. They have listened to our concerns and requests. When you work with them you can tell they truly care and are passionate about what they do. It reflects on how they deal with their clients and the quality of work they do. If you are ready to build and you want the most beautiful design, no matter if it’s traditional, rustic, contemporary, go with Chris Grubb. He has the perfect combination of analysis and accuracy for perfection and the soul of an artist with gifted skill to design the most beautiful home you can ever dream off. I will recommend Chris and Sheila to all of my clients. I can’t wait to build now!!!"

"P.K. Masonry arrived at my home on three different days on time, ready and willing to start the work. I was impressed how carefully he measured and drew out the plans for the fireplace. On my fireplace install PK was always concerned with what I was asking for, and listened to what I had to say. We didn't always agree, but he showed great patience dealing with me who knows nothing about what it takes to build a fireplace. I love my new fireplace that he built and will enjoy owning it for years to come. I definitely would hire PK again and have a job for him, planned for the future."

"It is guaranteed for the life of the home. They gave us it in writing. They were out there for 3 and a half days. They left everything pristine from the day they were there, they cleaned everyday. They were very nice to work with, there for a long time and the staff was just wonderful to work with us. They made a scar situation easier to deal with.  They were more expensive then some other quotes, but no one else had the lifetime guarantee and no one else was providing a life time solution. They were the best solution for our problem.  They were early every day, wonderful. They did not want to use our baseball chairs because they did not want to get them dirty and so they sat on the concrete floor, I was like not they can be cleaned off. They are awesome. Highly recommended. You can trust them and I recommended them to friends and family in this area. I would absolutely trust them with my family home.  We have some other stuff we want done and talked to them about it."

"Last year my wife and I had enough with our foundation problems.  Our back basement wall and side wall was cracked form the top of the foundation to the basement floor.  The cracks were so big that water constantly came through during and after heavy rains.  We called several different foundation repair companies, but none of them could provide us with what we knew we needed.  We needed a sixty foot section of our basement wall replaced, but none of the companies that we contacted could provide that service.  It wasn't until we contacted Frank Matyiko, owner of Expert House Movers, that we were able to get the assurance that a section of our foundation could be replaced.  Our friends asked us how they were able to hold our two story home up while taking out such a huge section of our foundation wall.  I tell them like owner Frank Matyiko said to me "we combine over 50 years of structural moving experience with 30 years of foundation repair experience and that's how we get it done."  He provided me with a structural engineer and obtained  the repair permits needed for the job, which no other company would provide.  Frank Matyiko oversaw the entire project from day 1 to completion.  Thanks for saving our home, EHM is awesome. <br />"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in East Ellijay, GA

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.
