"Very professional experience with Mina, the engineer who thoroughly explained his findings and suggested remedies. He confirmed house settlement suspicions and causes in a lengthy, detailed report complete with photos. I trust Kiro Engineering and would highly recommend them for structural engineering consultation and peace of mind."

"I had a small amount of water seepage in my basement and I wanted the expertise of a structural engineer to evaluate the possible cause(s) and to recommend remediation approaches. Glenwood Engineering was prompt to contact me as soon as a match was made and a structural engineer came to do a visual field visit. He identified a couple of causes and gave recommendations, giving priority to the easier solution first, observe the results and then if necessary, try the more radical solution. I feel that the suggestions were reasonable and appropriate. I paid for a written report which included photos taken on-site. I feel like I had a good experience."

"I called this company to inquire about their services. The call was returned promptly. I have never needed a structural engineer and did not know what to expect. Gary was very knowledgeable and explained the process very simple. When asked to schedule an appointment, I was able to get an appointment the next day! He showed up on time, as promised, and performed the inspection. My report, as promised, was delivered on time."

"Dee finished the drawings in a timely manner. He made revisions to fine tune and included an optional alternate floor plan I requested for a very reasonable up charge. I’m sure I’ll be using Dee again in the future."

"We are so glad we decided to go with F&D Development for our 2nd floor remodel project blueprints. What a great experience! We came to him with a vague concept of what we wanted and he worked with us to design something that was much better than what we were envisioning. I have zero hesitation recommending him for any structural engineering project or home build/remodel/addition project. We could not be more satisfied with his effort, ability, and results. Steve was always on time for meetings, quick to respond to email/phone, and is well priced."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Lehigh Valley, PA

You should replace floor joists as soon as you see clear signs of structural trouble—sagging floors, wide wall cracks, uneven door frames, wet or rotting wood, persistent squeaks, or windows that no longer latch. Tilted or sinking supports in the crawl space are another red flag. If you notice any of these signs, call a pro right away to keep your home’s structure safe.

If the joists are exposed from below, a pro can swap them out without touching the finished floor above. In an unfinished basement or crawl space, you’ll often see the joists and can easily reach them. When insulation, subflooring, or finished flooring blocks access, the crew must remove these materials before repairs can begin.

Sistering allows a pro to reinforce a cracked or undersized joist without tearing up the entire floor. The contractor slowly raises the frame, then fastens a new joist snugly against the damaged one to share the load. When done correctly, sistering restores full structural strength and keeps the floor level without the cost of a complete replacement.

Floor joists installed correctly in a stable environment can last for 100 years or more, often outlasting the house itself. However, termite damage, moisture, leaks, and other problems can significantly reduce a floor's lifespan. For instance, if the floor is exposed to consistent moisture, you'll likely need to replace the joists every 20 to 30 years.

Homeowners' insurance covers floor joist damage resulting from sudden and accidental events, such as fire, windstorm, or water damage from a burst pipe. It will not cover repairs resulting from gradual deterioration, poor maintenance, or termite infestations. Review your insurance policy and consult your provider to verify the conditions that guarantee full coverage. Doing so ensures you are fully aware of your responsibilities and can plan your repair work with complete confidence.

Floor joists are essential structural components that provide a stable foundation for your home. They directly transfer the weight of floors, furniture, and occupants to the foundation, ensuring stability and a safe living environment. Without these robust beams, the structure would face compromised load distribution, leading to potential safety hazards and costly repairs. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for long-term durability and safety.
