"We hired Total Craftsman to put on a porch and wheelchair ramp combined. We wanted something not looking like an accessible house . The project turned out perfectly and our homes looks like a different house now . We were so happy with them ( Dec 2022) that we hired them for windows , roofing and new siding too in Spring of 2023 ! Our home looks fabulous. All the work was done timely and professionally and clean up was excellent as well. John did much of the work and oversaw all the sub contractors as well ! We’d hire them again when needed ! 5 stars for sure"

"The installers were professional, the sales people were nice, however we were misled from the beginning on how much glass loss we would get. We were told 1 inch, we got 4 inches because the windows were large. They also did not put nearly the amount of insulation in that they showed in their videos. When told of these issues Thompson Creek was very polite and very sorry but has not offered to do anything to fix it. The larger margins are due to structural issues they should have, but didn't, tell us about so there is no easy fix. The only thing we can do is fight with them to get our money back and put in a different type of product and we haven't decided yet if that is worth the pain. In addition, they did not show up with the wood molding we were promised they were going to replace although they did run to a lumber store and purchase the molding so that issue was the only one resolved."

"I contacted this firm with some significant questions about a home I was considering purchasing--primarily about issues concerning the crawl space of the home. I had very little time to make some major decisions about the property. On very short notice, Bo Ward, P.E., the principal of Structural Elements, made arrangements meet with me on his day off--which was also a major holiday. Needless to say, I was surprised and incredibly grateful that he was willing to make the time for me. He spent several hours looking over the scope of the problem, took several photos, and prepared a high-quality report, which was very helpful to me in taking next steps. <br /> In many years of hiring various professionals to undertake different tasks, Mr. Ward's professionalism, punctuality, thoroughness, expertise, honesty, and simple willingness to be helpful truly stand out. He is great at what he does and has impeccable character. I would highly recommend Mr. Ward and his firm. He did not do a design project for me, but I am hopeful that if I am ever constructing a home from scratch that he will be available to work on the project. <br />"

"Tom responded promptly to my inquiry through Angie's List. He is a a structural "Professional Engineer" and also a member of the NSPE. They are of the highest caliber. Although I went with the contractor's PE, Tom was very easy to deal with and honest about pricing and how he works on assessing matters for insurance agencies. If I had another need for a structural engineer, I wouldn't hesitate to call him back."

"The Crack Man promptly gave an estimate for repairing a crack in my poured concrete basement wall. He responded promptly to all of my questions. He arrived on time and the repair was done so well that the repair is barely visible. He was kind enough to do my job on short notice in order for me to put my house on the market. I wholeheartedly recommend him."

"I had three structural experts come out to do an inspection in a crack in the basement. Two did free estimates, only Sam charged. I felt that was fair, and I'm glad he came out. Both other inspectors wanted to charge me $8,000 to do the fix - the only problem was that they both stated the problem was COMPLETELY DIFFERENT and suggested different fixes! Sam on the other hand came out for an actual inspection - not an estimate! His result was that the crack was fine, he could patch it up if I wanted but he stated it really wasn't needed. Honesty! Can't pay enough for solid advice! Thank you Sam! <br />"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Jarrettsville, MD

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.
