"Mina is extremely knowledgeable, clear, patient, and upfront. I never hired a structural engineer before and was feeling intimidated by the process. Kiro Engineering understood my issues and home renovation desires and provided me several solutions to make sure the result was safe and properly executed. Through conversation it was clear that Kiro is equally at home dealing with a homeowner like myself as well as very high end extensive and commercial projects. I can’t recommend Kiro enough for any structural engineering projects."

"Don't let Contractors take advantage of you, and hire an independent professional engineer. We did have several cracks around the house including the foundations walls, interior walls and ceilings. We hired many contractors for estimates for the repairs, we did have huge difference in quoted starting from $7K to $35K, then we hired an independent engineer to do a full structural assessment. We hired Kiro Engineering to do the structural assessment. They have three options for the assessment. We chose the highest option with a full assessment and structural integrity for the entire house. The report was very detailed with photos, observations, and recommendations. We like the way it was organized. The report was simple to read and understand for a "layman" who is not a professional contractor. This report gave us the right cost estimate. We almost saved $25K."

"I had a great experience working with Glenwood Engineering LLC. I was in the process of selling my home and the buyer's mortgage company was requiring a structural engineer to certify the home was structurally sound as the joists in the basement had some previous termite damage. An engineer was able to come out in less than a week and although the initial report indicated some repairs that would be necessary everything needed was clearly stated. I was able to get a contractor to come do the repairs and Glenwood Engineering LLC was able to send the engineer out for a reinspection only two days after the repairs were complete. The customer service was outstanding and thanks to how quickly they were able to send an engineer out both for inspection and for reinspection we were able to close on time. I would definitely use their services again."

" I had the pleasure of working with Structure Professionals for the renovation of my kitchen, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results! They expertly help design the space by incorporating a load-bearing beam, transforming my kitchen into a beautiful open-concept layout that flows seamlessly with the rest of the home. They were responsive, on time, and always ready to answer any questions I had throughout the process. I highly recommend Structure Professionals, A fantastic experience all around! "

"Very well! I was extremely pleased with the workmanship and the time it took to complete the job. Working with Duane and his men was a pleasant experience. He answered all my calls and texts within minutes (which is extremely rare with contractors). His prices were very fair and his office staff was great to work with. I was especially impressed with the workers. They showed up everyday 7:30 a.m. and worked through till 6:00 everyday until the job was done. They were hard working, friendly, courteous, and very knowledgeable and talented. You can’t ask for more than that."

"We examined the entire house, from basement to attic. <br /> In the basement, there was one issue: there are four steel columns that support wooden beams that run the width of the house. Those columns are rusting away, and thus they require replacement or reinforcing. It is possible that many houses in my neighborhood have a similar problem. <br /> He inspected the rest of the house very professionally, pointing out anything that he found unusual. The major item of interest that he mentioned is that the roof is supported by trusses. The trusses move vertically, by their nature - so, for example, I have "nail pops" in some ceilings in the second floor rooms due to truss behavior. <br /> He sent me an email report, briefly summarizing what he examined and commented on. <br />"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
