Small business, self employed, use subcontractors that I can trust, minimum consultation and visit fee $295. That includes, site visit, inspection, and a verbal on site report and follow up with contractors as needed . The fee for site visit and inspection is a flat fee, basically it is the charge to drive to your location and provide a verbal report. This fee does not include a written formal report.

"Initial rep was great and informative. Felt comfortable with initial sale. Hardly had any contact from customer service except for the payments. There were several delays that we were not informed about unless we called to ask. Took 7 months before they showed up to begin project. Only 1 person was sent to build steps. Took a week. Hard worked, hardly took a break. Had to call again to see when they would come to pour patio. Never knew when they were coming, they just showed up. Hardly spoke with the homeowners. Inspection paperwork was just left on porch. Additional paperwork that is "required by the County" had to be completed by homeowner and taken to Court house to be notarized and filed and also provide a copy back to Long Fence. Time sensitive materials which added to homeowners to-do list. Gave this contract to LF on the surface of their history and appearance of a 'good local company' but should have stayed with original contactors in VA. Puddle of water forms when it rains"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Richmond, VA

The timeline for replacing a support beam varies based on several factors, including accessibility, length, and your home's specific structural requirements. The process involves multiple stages: planning, permitting, material procurement, and installation. Complications like discovering additional damage, electrical obstacles, or plumbing conflicts can extend the timeline. Consulting with contractors during the estimate process will give you a more accurate project duration for your specific situation.

Warning signs of a compromised support beam include noticeable floor sagging or bouncing, cracks appearing in walls (particularly near doorways), doors that suddenly stick or won't close properly, and visible damage to the beam itself. You might also notice unusual creaking sounds when walking across certain areas or gaps developing between walls and ceilings. Any of these symptoms warrants prompt inspection by a structural professional to determine whether repair or replacement is necessary.

In certain situations with limited damage, reinforcement techniques like sistering (attaching a new beam alongside the existing one) or adding steel plates can extend a beam's useful life. However, these approaches are only suitable for minor issues. Complete replacement is often necessary when significant deterioration affects more than half the beam or compromises its structural integrity. A structural engineer should evaluate the specific conditions to recommend the appropriate solution for your home.

Whether you need temporary housing during beam replacement depends on the beam's location and your project's scope. Many homeowners can remain in their homes during the work, particularly when the beam is in a basement or crawl space. The primary considerations are noise, dust, and access restrictions in the work area. If the project involves major demolition or affects critical living spaces, temporary relocation might be more comfortable. Discuss the project timeline and daily impact with your contractor before making this decision.

Support beams should be examined periodically as part of routine home maintenance. Pay particular attention to events that could affect structural elements, such as flooding, significant foundation movement, or pest infestations. If you notice any warning signs like sagging floors, wall cracks, or visible beam damage, arrange for a professional assessment immediately. Catching potential problems early can prevent more extensive damage and reduce repair costs.
