Customers say: True professional

"Daniel Nerf, structural engineer for Crosstown came out last week to inspect our attic and today came out and performed a very thorough foundation inspection on our house. We’re planning a complete renovation but wanted to identify any structural issues, if any, and fix such before beginning renovation. Daniel was very knowledgeable and completely professional with a great personality. He also has a tremendous amount of experience. I learned a lot during the course of the inspections and in our discussion afterwards. I received the written report within a few days on the attic inspection and expect an equally quick completion of the written report on today’s foundation inspection. The first report contained both recommended and necessary work that should be done on our house in specific and clear language. I’m very glad I chose Crosstown Engineering for this very important work and most happy with Daniel’s performance of these inspections."

"We are planning on removing some walls in our house. I contacted Crosstown Engineering to see if they could help. Their engineer, Angel, came out to take a look. Angel was very professional, right on time, and did an awesome job explaining everything to me. He pointed out the changes we would need to make, helped me to understand the process to tear down our walls, and provided an excellent written report for us. If I need structural work or any other type of engineering, I am coming back to Crosstown Engineering."

"The best engineering company I’ve ever worked with, without question. They have completed both civil and structural design services for me on several projects, and every single one has been handled with a high level of professionalism, attention to detail, and technical expertise. Their team brings a tremendous amount of real world experience to the table and it shows in the quality of their work and the practicality of their solutions. They are responsive, easy to work with, and always willing to take the time to explain things clearly and work through challenges as they come up. Mr. Marques Hall is an outstanding engineer and a true professional. His knowledge, responsiveness, and problem solving ability have made a big difference on multiple projects. I will absolutely continue to use them for future projects and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high quality civil and structural engineering services."

"LIGHTHOUSE ENGINEERING not affiliated with any foundation repair company so felt i could rely on their evaluation to be unbiased. All steps along the way from inspection to submission of written report were done efficiently, quickly, and professionally. Fortunately I do not need foundation repairs, but they did make some recommendations for some minor masonry and dry wall repairs that i will have done."

"We are really happy with how thorough our inspection was. Our inspector was a pleasure to work with and very informative. We would definitely use Greenworks again. Definitely recommend selecting one of the packages available on the website. We were able to include the pool, structural engineering report and reinspection in the price. We are also very happy that they offered an Angie's List discount, and it was not a hassle to have it honored."

"Marcus went out of his way to work our repairs into his busy schedule. He came out himself as all of his crews were busy and performed our repairs. The work looks terrific and I feel very fortunate that we found Adams Structural/Marcus. Marcus is a real gentleman and treated us extremely well. He was respectful of our time and budget and a pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend him and his company!"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Waxahachie, TX

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.
