"From start of the job to completion everything went very smooth! Tarek the sales representative for Holeman, Inc. followed through with everything needed and everything we asked about the process! Tarek called, emailed, texted us to keep us informed! We are very happy with Tarek, Tarek went above and beyond as did Andrew the contractor for Holeman as well! Andrew also followed through and kept us updated with process!

"Contracted 12/8/21. Work done in Aug due to supply chain (no concern there). They installed everything and after installation I pointed out concerns with screens, windows, and a sliding door. Project Manager Gino came and inspected. Validated scratches in glass were significant and needed to be replaced. Scratches impair visibility and are beyond 3" in and in multiples. Scratches caused from installation and not manufacturer. Well beyond ASTM "industry" standards. Said door was installed backwards and he would talk to Scott about how to fix. Over a year of emails and phone calls and this company shirks blame. Scott is a coward and does not return calls or emails. I am actively engaged with lawyers and am in process of fling to sue for this company to complete work. Oh, and their BBB record? They ignore complaints here just like their customers. Ref BBB #20606415. Read the negative reviews here and those are the honest ones. Do not use this contractor."

FAQs for engineer structural projects in West Palm Beach, FL

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.
