"After an unusual situation arose at my home, I was concerned about the possibility of structural damage caused by drilling and new construction at an adjacent lot. After receiving a recommendation for Veitas Engineers from a trusted source, I called and scheduled an appointment. I am so thankful that I did. I continue to be impressed with the amount of time that the two engineers spent at my house, closely inspecting the exterior and interior. Within days, I received a 16-page detailed report which included drawings, photographs, recommendations, and action items. I was so pleased when I saw that the action items were categorized as structural and non-structural, that is, that the engineers included items beyond my actual structural concerns. I used the report when working with a contractor to follow up on the recommendations and action items. The contractor was impressed with the quality, clarity, and scope of the report. I am so happy that I chose Veitas Engineers!"

"The guys from Three Masons showed up and were already setting up when I was told to expect them. I talked with the guys a bit on the work to be done and showed them the different locations for fixing the clapboards on the house. The quickly took care of the issues and everything has been great since. One thing that had been happening in the past when a windy storm came through the area that the clapboards would shake and make a noise. All of that got fixed with the work they did. They then went on to fixing up the molding around my front door which had rotted and install the extension setup needed for my storm door. They were quick and everything was installed nicely. We did a quick tour around after the completed all the projects and I paid them the final payment. I was very happy with the work that was done."

"I had an experience with Neponset Valley Construction.  They did work about three years ago.  I would tell others that they're more for exterior jobs than they are interior jobs, the work is kind of shoddy.  The price was the reason we went with them. "

"The contractors quickly responded to our inquiry. And the leading engineer is very experienced. She walked through the house with us listened carefully of our concerns. She came up with repair solutions right at the spot and discussed with us all the options for each solution. And later she gave us a price well within our budget. All works were done within three weeks from the first walk through. The lead engineer kept us updated about the working progress almost daily.  She replied to our questions even during the weekends. So overall, it is job well done!"

"These guys are great! We had our driveway expanded and needed it paved and also wanted our walkway redone. The owner John came out right away to talk and go over the project. He gave us great ideas and explained the scope of the work and have us a very reasonable price. The crew started right away and were punctual and professional. They got the work done very quickly and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Definitely recommend and would rehire."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Lowell, MA

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.
