"Hunter and his team are far and away one of my favorite contracting companies in town. I’ve called on them for help with numerous homes that I’ve renovated, and as a realtor, I recommend APP to any clients that need structural repair, waterproofing, etc. Not only do you get a prompt response to your initial inquiry, but Hunter comes out quickly to view the job and provides accurate estimates. Unlike so many contractors I work with, there’s no evidence of their crew having been in the home- except for the actual repair! No muddy shoe prints, no dust, no cigarette butts laying around. They are prompt, tidy, and polite! I’ve learned so much just from having Hunter on these jobs- he is a wealth of knowledge and can explain in simple terms what is wrong and how it’s repaired. He really takes the time to show me exactly what’s going on every time, which I appreciate so much. Structural issues are never fun, but when they do arise, I’m grateful I know who to call!"

"Luis and his team did an excellent job on our 107-year old farmhouse.  Weather delayed the start of the project, but once underway, it went smoothly and quickly.  Of course we are extremely happy that our house is now resting on a solid foundation (and you can feel just how much more solid it is, which gives us a great sense of security), but the best part for us is how comfortable the encapsulation and insulation has made our home.  It's no longer cold and damp; the floors aren't cold; and the air quality is dramatically improved.  Luis promised that there would be a dramatic difference in the comfort level of our home and there is.  It is so warm and cozy -- just in time for the delayed winter.  We had a competitive bid from another Angie's List provider, but we are very happy we went with Xpert.  Luis has had decades of construction experience, which showed on the job.  He notices everything and stays on top of all of the details.  He also graciously helped us with advice on other projects we are planning that are completely unrelated to the foundation work he was doing.  In terms of cost, while an expensive project overall, we feel that we got our money's worth.  When the project was underway and hidden problems that required additional work came to light (literally), Luis worked with us to keep the cost as low as possible.  We are very glad we chose Xpert and highly recommend. <br />"

"<p>Just wanted to drop a line or two and let you all know how impressed we were with both your workmen and their work.  In today's society, you just don't find companies that really do a great job, they usually just do enough to "get by".<br /> <br /><br /> <br />At times, without their knowledge, I was home and could hear some of the men talking.  Much to my surprise, their language and subject matter were always appropriate.  Don't find that much in the labor force today!  It spoke volumes to me.  When they did speak with us, they were always very kind and informative.<br /> <br /></p> <p>The work that was performed consisted of excavating the dirt to gain access to the footings on both sides of the foundation.  On the inside, they had to bust out the concrete floor and hand dig to the footing in order to install their brackets for the "unified lift system".  After installing the brackets, they attached special hydraulic equipment to the brackets which drove 3" diameter<br /> <br />pipes down to bedrock.  Next, they attached a hydraulic jacking system to each pier location.  Using their special vehicle with a unique hydraulic pumping system they attached hydraulic lines to each location and were able to do a controlled lift.  From what we understand, your company is one of the only ones that can perform this "unified lift".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />We were taking pictures daily and emailing them out to family and friends who could not believe their eyes!  They started out making our basement look like a bomb went off and when they were done it was swept and looking very nice!<br /> <br /><br /> <br />All this to say that the work done was absolutely astonishing!  We will highly recommend EHM to everyone that we hear may need this type of work completed.<br /> <br /><br /> <br />Thanks so much again.  We were dreading having this work completed, but you all made it so much nicer by your<br /> <br />expertise, kindness, and professionalism.</p> <p>Mike and Cheryl <br /> <br /></p> <br />"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Roanoke, VA

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.
