"I recently bought a house and prior to the purchase I had Bob come out to the and provide an evaluation on the overall structural soundness of the home. He came out, said everything looked great and he would send me a letter stating as much. After I received the letter, we proceeded with the closing (mid-May). Around mid-October I noticed there was separation in the mortar of a course of bricks in the front of my house. After looking over the situation, we discovered the front of my house is sinking. I called a company I had recently used to level my porch and wanted their opinion as they also do foundation work. When they arrived, they gave me options for what they can do, but that they would not touch the job until they had an engineer sign off on the project for liability reasons. I asked them for a suggestion and they gave me Bob's number. I said I knew who that was and a few days later had Bob come back to evaluate the sinking and give me a letter saying the process the foundation company wants to do would fix my problem. While Bob was there he took notes, listened to all my concerns, and said that he believed the foundation contractor was correct with their assessment. He also told me that when the foundation contractor was there fixing the problem, he would also be there to make sure the previously mentioned porch leveling wasn't the cause of the foundation dropping. I also wanted him to confirm a wall in my kitchen was not load bearing as we are going to be renovating the kitchen soon. He said no problems with everything and he would send the foundation letter in a few days. After two weeks, I called Bob (10/28) and he apologized and said he would get the letter out that day. No latter came, so I called back 11/9 with no answer. 11/23 I called and he messaged while it was ringing asking if he can call me later - I messaged back stating I still need the letter and if he didn't want to do business to please just say so. No call back. I called again this past Friday, 12/2 and received the same "Can I call you later" text. No call back. I called later that afternoon to no answer. Every time I called and he didn't answer, the mailbox was full and I couldn't leave a message. I texted him this Monday 12/5 and asked when he can talk - no response. I called both Tuesday and today (12/7) with no answer. At this point I will still try make contact with him, but I will also be looking for a much more professional replacement."

"A team of 5 came the day after I hired Gray’s to remove an aging magnolia tree and its stump, trim another magnolia, a lilac and a forsythia, and remove overgrown greenery encroaching on my backyard from the park behind my house. It took about an hour and I was quoted $1800 with a $100 discount for cash. This team did not remove the stump and fill in the hole with dirt and sod within 2-3 days as written on the work order. They told me to hold back $200 to be paid upon completion of the work. No one came to complete the stump removal. After a week I texted, emailed and called (left a voice message). No response. I believe they never intended to remove the stump."

"Justin at MiScape is an absolute pleasure to deal with. He made everything so professional by writing me up a work order and giving me a professional detailed assessment of the work that needed to be done unlike other companies that came to my house that made me feel like I wasn't a priority to them or my money wasn't important to them. Miscape wasn't the cheapest nor were they the most expensive but after getting a few estimates Justin absolutely had the most integrity and enthusiasm to do the job not only was he going to actually pull the weeds instead of torching it or whipping it as the others told me he would go above and beyond to make my yard look better than it ever has. Miscape exceeded my expectations on every level from professional curiosity to exceptional work.

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Sterling Heights, MI

The timeframe for installing an LVL beam depends on your project's complexity and scope. Factors affecting the timeline include whether walls need removal, the beam's size, and whether electrical or plumbing modifications are necessary. Your contractor should provide a specific timeline estimate based on your home's unique circumstances and the specific requirements of your installation.

Financing options are available for structural improvements like LVL beam installations. Many homeowners use home equity loans or lines of credit, often offering favorable interest rates for home improvement projects. Some contractors partner with financing companies to provide payment plans directly. When gathering quotes, ask potential contractors about financing partnerships they maintain or recommendations for lenders experienced with home renovation projects.

LVL beams become necessary when you need to span greater distances without support columns or when supporting substantial loads. Traditional lumber can't span more than eight to 12 feet without support, while LVL beams can extend up to 30 feet. LVL provides the necessary strength to create truly open concept spaces or support upper floors without columns. Consulting with a structural engineer helps determine the appropriate beam type for your specific requirements.

Beyond the core installation, the budget for build-back costs totals $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of affected finishes. If foundation reinforcement becomes necessary, allocate $1,000 to $3,000 per pier. Permit fees ranging from $100 to $500 should also be anticipated. For installations affecting utilities, factor in electrician rates of $50 to $130 per hour and plumber rates of $45 to $200 per hour if rerouting is required.
