"Pedro was great to work with! After multiple attempts to work with other structural engineers, his rate was the lowest while being the most responsive and informative. He made the process smooth and efficient, providing excellent service and clear communication throughout the project. Highly recommend!"

"This was BY FAR the WORST experience my husband and I have ever had with a contractor in Miami. STEER CLEAR. We saved up our hard earned money to finally do a major overhaul on our severely dated kitchen as well as several other upgrades to our AC unit, electrical and flooring. Lenny met with us first and seemed like the nicest guy in the world. We signed the contract with little hesitation and a good feeling, assuming we were in good hands based on all the good reviews. We were told the work would be completed in 5-6 weeks which seemed like a reasonable amount of time. Well, let's just say we started the process in May of 2018 and work was not finished until the end of September. Imagine being without a kitchen for almost 5 full months. We were introduced to Jose Vega who seemed like a nice guy and they started demo within the first couple of days of signing the contract. He seemed nice enough and would chat with us off and on about how things were going, putting our minds at ease. Things deteriorated quickly. The crew started not showing up for days at a time. The excuses started flowing and got more and more creative. I have to say, we believed Vega when he said, "my wife has cancer treatments" and even got really elaborate saying she had ovarian cancer. We felt terrible and I actually considered sending him a get well basket because I felt so bad, but I have to admit I believed him. Who would lie about such a thing? Then, I started finding beer bottles in my kitchen and garage with leftover food all around my backyard. During July, they didn't show up for 3 weeks. I had NO FLOOR in my kitchen whatsoever and was walking on a piece of plywood and exposed floor joists. Not to mention, the house was open to the wonderful Florida vermin that run around - cockroaches etc. My poor husband had to take off days of work and I cannot tell you how many arguments they got into. He would call Lenny to complain who often did absolutely nothing, clearly having no control (or care) over the situation and his subcontractors. Not to mention, once we finally got the floor put down and the work began to move forward, many of the things they did had to be done multiple times due to shoddy workmanship. For example 1) we told them we had a gas stove - they drill holes for electrical line and and removed our gas line - thankfully we noticed it and they had to fix it. 2) they installed the refrigerator with hot water connected to the water line so the drinking water would come out hot. Then, the water line broke and caused a huge mess and had to be replace. 3) the kitchen floor tiles were laid down completely crooked and incorrectly. I came home to a crew of 6 people (including Vega's extremely sick wife who look completely fine) just haphazardly laying down the tiles and then walking all over them when the grout was still wet! of course the next day the grout was cracked and tiles were lifting up. They had to send a tile guy out 3 times to redo them. 4) The center kitchen island had to be relocated because they decided to install the hood before the island making it look extremely off center. My husband even told them to measure and run the vent pipe in the beginning when the ceiling was completely open before the recessed lighting was put in. Vega decided to do it at the last minute after all the cabinets were installed so had to rig it to look right, it still does not. 5) the cabinets were installed by Mr. Magoo himself - almost comically crooked. Not to mention the cabinet guy left for Cuba for 6 weeks so the work halted again until he got back. Then I had to see him 2-3 more times to make adjustments. When they pulled one of the cabinets down, they put a huge dent in the new drywall which I need to look at to this day. 6) We noticed a leak in our patio roof and asked them to patch it. It took them several tries and the roof still leaks. 7) the tile guy attempted to install the backsplash but ran out of tile so left a gap about 2 inches from the bottom of the overhead cabinets. The ONLY GOOD THING Vega did was literally re-do the entire thing - he cut the tiles so they would fit perfectly and it actually does looks nice. The bottom line is, at the end of the day we were not happy at all and even entertained consulting lawyers. We are concerned the work they did will not hold up and we'll have major issues down the road. Ultimately they completed the work, 4 months behind schedule, but not without constant prodding and arguing. Vega would show up looking for advances for materials, but we told him several times they aren't seeing another cent until work moved forward. After telling Lenny we were unhappy, he offered us a $50 Outback Steakhouse gift card (laughable) which we never even received. I would never recommend this vendor to my worst enemy. STAY AWAY."

"Contracted 12/8/21. Work done in Aug due to supply chain (no concern there). They installed everything and after installation I pointed out concerns with screens, windows, and a sliding door. Project Manager Gino came and inspected. Validated scratches in glass were significant and needed to be replaced. Scratches impair visibility and are beyond 3" in and in multiples. Scratches caused from installation and not manufacturer. Well beyond ASTM "industry" standards. Said door was installed backwards and he would talk to Scott about how to fix. Over a year of emails and phone calls and this company shirks blame. Scott is a coward and does not return calls or emails. I am actively engaged with lawyers and am in process of fling to sue for this company to complete work. Oh, and their BBB record? They ignore complaints here just like their customers. Ref BBB #20606415. Read the negative reviews here and those are the honest ones. Do not use this contractor."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Miami, FL

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.
