"I wish could give a rating higher than a five! The Complete Building Solutions Team provides a excellent service. Their structural engineers give an honest and professional assessment of the issues and remedies for your house. They supplied me with a detailed 12-page report that was filled with specific instructions for contractors, diagrams and photographs. From Michelle, the friendly and helpful woman at the desk, to the clear and understandable advice given Steven, the licensed professional engineer who worked with me, The Complete Building Solutions Team radiated friendliness, honesty and competence! Several issues were found that were minor. However, one was very important and must be fixed within a year. I firmly believe that hiring them was the best decision about my home that I made in the 24 years that I have owned it. Their advice will likely save me many thousands of dollars!"

"We very much appreciated the services of Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers. Their engineer was knowledgeable, listened to our concerns and put us at ease. We had noticed an uneven floor in a basement bedroom and a small crack in the exterior cinderblock as well as some deterioration in cinderblocks at soil level at the rear of our house. We had 4 foundation repair companies give us free estimates: American Waterworks, Innovative Basement Authority, SafeBasements of Minnesota, Inc and DBS Residential Solutions, Inc. All recommended push pier installation but different numbers ranging from 4 to 10 piers with a lift procedure. This is not an inexpensive procedure. All said they had engineers at their companies who would review the plan and be sure it was appropriate but we felt there was a conflict of interest in favor of the company's assessment. We had our home insurance field adjuster come out and he felt that there were no serious problems that would require piers. We decided to hire an independent structural engineer to give us an unbiased opinion. We chose Criterium-Schimnowski based on online reviews; looked on the Better Business Bureau but found none. Additionally, the fact that this firm has several engineers on staff gave us more confidence than companies with just a single engineer because there is more wisdom with many heads than one. The engineer determined that our foundation was structurally sound and no piers were needed. He recommended the deteriorating masonry be repaired, foundation landscape grading be done and that masonry gaps consistent with settling be sealed and closed. With his assessment, we have peace of mind and will save considerable money, not needing pier installation, and will use those savings instead to have the masonry and landscape grading done. Thank you, Criterium-Schimnowki, for helping us sort through the free foundation repair company estimates to learn what repairs were truly needed."

"It went very well, this was not an easy task due to the attachment point for the rail was not ideal. However Andy and his fellow co-worker used their creativity to secure a strong practical rail. These guys were very professional he kept me informed about his arrival time and encouraged open communication. He was willing to work with me financially and the price was very reasonable. He was concerned about my satisfaction. I would definitely use this company again and refer them to others. I think reviews are important when finding someone to do a job that meets your expectations, Again you won't be disappointed with this company. Also his time from me contacting him to doing the job was 3 days. Thanks again for a job well done."

"White Crane did a wonderful job from the moment they came to our home for our initial meeting through the final walk through of the work! They presented us with design options that were totally suited to what we described as our needs. All of the White Crane staff we worked with with highly experienced, professional, prompt, courteous and responsive. The design staff provided wonderful options for all of the materials and accessories and the project manager was at all of our meetings and coordinated and executed the project on schedule and within our budget. This is the third time we have worked with White Crane and have always found their work to be outstanding and their coordination, communication and consideration during the remodeling work made the process a pleasant experience! We have a gorgeous new master bathroom and love everything about it!"

"Peter is very thorough with every aspect of his work. He worked with me and my husband to design a deck that would suit our <br /> needs, complement our house, and stay within our budget. We were very pleased with the results of the project and love our new deck. Being a structural engineer, we were extremely confident with his expertise. A safe and attractive deck was paramount for us. He did run into an issue outside his expertise and he guided us in finding another professional to correct it. We can't speak highly enough on our experience with Peter, and would hire him again. <br />"

"Highly recommend and excellent person to work with!! Responsive, detailed, honest, and does the job right. We had a complex job of moving our staircase and adding a basement window. Staircase required structural engineering and was a project many people turned down as they felt it was too complicated. In addition, he cut a 5’x4’ + hole through foundation to add a window. He was priced well, and did excellent work. We can’t recommend him enough and look forward to completing more projects with him!"

"We called Cady Handyman Services and a pleasant gentleman discussed our deck project. <br />Cady Handyman scheduled one of his service tech to come out the follow morning. <br />The tech arrived promptly at the scheduled time with a friendly ready to fix our problem attitude. <br />We have raised nails and screws on our deck that always seem to reappear during winter months. <br />These raised nails and screws made snow removal just horrible.The Cady tech recommened that we remove many of the bad loose fastners and replaced with a new non-corosive styles of screws. <br /> After a complete walk through of our project we were extremely satified. <br /> <br />With our project completed we are now looking forward to the winter to come. <br /> <br /> With our total satisfaction with Cady Handyman Services we have again committed to them for our up coming basement project <br /> <br /> <br />The Fosland's <br />Bloomington, Mn."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Maple Plain, MN

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.
