"Tony came to my home to inspect its structural integrity. First, he was rude and offensive. When he found out I'm not currently employed (I am disabled), he asked me how I could afford to pay for the house. It's an offensive question and not at all related to my hiring him. "

"Simply put, SHD Construction did an outstanding job making improvements and repairs to my home. I found Steve and Steve (father/son duo) via Angie’s list and was skeptical of all the great reviews. I found them to be extremely friendly, honest, trustworthy and most important, their workmanship was of a very high caliber. My design skills are lacking and they were both able to help me along the way with great design related suggestions. Additionally, they always left the house very clean. A summary of the work performed was as follows: 1. Complete gut and renovation of master bathroom - This included new lights, installation of exhaust fan, buildout of a separate bath, custom glass shower and radiant heat throughout. All of the electrical, plumbing and tile work was completely remodeled and redone to perfection. 2. Replacement of Trim and Stucco in front of home - My home is an older home and after the full demolition of the master bathroom, we noticed that the exterior wall (front of home) was completely rotted out due to a leak in exterior trim molding that was covered in aluminum. As a result, SHD was able to completely replace the trim in the front of the house and replace the rotted wood. This was a large surface area that needed replacement. SHD was able to complete the job from start to finish including stucco and painting. No more leak! 3. Complete gut and renovation of 2nd floor bathroom - This included complete renovation of bathroom including rerouting of plumbing, new electric, radiant heat, new window and new custom glass shower and shower pan. Upon demolition, it was very apparent that the previous contractors that replaced the shower did a very poor job. All of the floor beams were cut in half and the shower that was installed has a leak that rotted out the entire floor. As this was a hazard, SHD worked on correcting the prior mistakes by replacing all of the beams and rotted wood. As the entire bathroom floor has to be replaced, this resulted in the first floor ceiling also needing to be replaced. The work was done quickly and at the end of the work, the ceiling looked better than it did prior. 4. Removal of though-wall air conditioner and fill in of hole/Sheetrock. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the end result of the work performed. Both bathrooms exceeded our expectations. We have already recommended SHD to others and would definitely have them in for more work in the future."

"From this site, I've learned that Eddie has passed away. Most sorry to hear. Unfortunately, he recently did some work (basement waterproofing which is failing). I see that Kastina z. and Jason L. have situations where they need to get in touch with someone. I would be willing to speak to either of you or others. Please let me know."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Glen Head, NY

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.
