John S. Apolis, P.E., President of C, offers over 30+ years of experience in Structural Engineering Design for almost every type of construction project. We have provided design many types of structures. Our design costs are often lower because as a smaller firm, we have lower overhead costs. In addition, our turn-around times often are faster, because of the way we organize our work schedule. We typically provide full structural design for additions and remodel projects for 100 or more satisfied architects and homeowners each year, as well as a similar number of smaller "one day" or even "two hour" projects. We try whenever possible to give you what you need, when you need it. No project is too large or too small. If you are looking for a structural design firm which will stand behind their work, and provide you with timely and cost-effective structural design for your remodel, look no further.

I am very reasonable and open to discuss prices. I guarantee you will be happy with the price we can agree on for quality hard work. We offer free on-site estimates as well. Our goal is to keep an ongoing relationship with each client and maintain positive communication with the upmost respect. Which is one of the reason's we decided to add "Family" to our company name. We hope to hear from you soon !
"Referrals are everything in this business and I must thank the man who referred Thalia to me. Thalia is on top of things like nobody else. When the team comes though it's like they can read my mind and then some. Every time they do a job on our property, it's finished better than I wanted it and I'm pretty particular about what I want. In fact, I just asked for an estimate on storm damage to my fence. Even though I hired them as landscapers, they are so fastidious that I had to see if they would be willing to do other things for the house. But back to the initial landscaping, my backyard was transformed from a spacious but uneven, boring mess into a magical, balanced space I'd be perfectly happy to have a wedding at. Just fantastic and the quote would've still been reasonable for a job 25% smaller than what they did for me. And they just did the fall cleanup too. if a yard could have that new car smell, mine would have it still. Sincerely, Kristen and family. Briercrest neighborhood."

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.
