"I would (and almost certainly will) work with AGGO again! We are buying a house and something came up where we needed a structural engineer to inspect something on very short notice. I reached out though Angi's to any company that might possibly employ structural engineers and Linda, a Structural Engineer with AGGO got back to me right away, first thing in the morning and was able to squeeze us in that very night. Linda was thoughtful and thorough. She careful looked over everything and even brought a large, bright light since it was after dark. She took her time, answered all of our questions, and gave us advice on other concerns and things to watch out for as well as reassuring us about things we didn't need to worry about in this situation. Even though she was probably working past her normal work hours to squeeze us in, nothing felt rushed or hasty. "

"Martin and Jake are the absolute best to work with. They were thorough, efficient, professional and so easy to work with for our basement structural work. They took time to explain what needed to be done, coordinated with different contractors (plumbing, electrical), and were able to complete our project on time while we were out of town for just a week(!!). I can't recommend Great Lakes Builders more - they were a pleasure to work with and we will absolutely be using them again for any future work we need. 5+ stars!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Thank goodness we found Faron & Associates, Inc. Our 97 year old home had structural problems that were out of the expertise of the 9 contractors that we had contacted. After explaining our dilemma to Home Advisor, they recommended Faron & Associates. Communication with Michael Faron was immediate. He returned our phone call the same day. We agreed to meet the next day and evaluate our problem. Mike arrived the next morning right on time and took measurements and pictures. He said that there were several ways to solve the problem and would prepare two alternative estimates. We received the estimates within the next week accompanied by a recommendation for contractors that could handle a very complex job. Mike was always available to answer questions and attended our meeting with the chosen contractor. Work was started within the week. Everything was done professionally and timely. The job turned out beyond our wildest expectations. The result was perfect and done start to finish in about 10 days with little disruption to our daily routine. Weâ ve already recommended Mike to a friend seeking a structural engineer. Thank you Michael Faron."

"When our remodel permit was delayed by our village we were required to get an analysis by a licensed structural engineer. In the middle of the summer remodeling season, it was difficult to find anyone immediately available. We received a reference for Jonathan and his business, Enginkeering. Most importantly he was available immediately and came out the next day. It took him a week to deliver the material. Subsequently our permit was approved. Jonathan was quick, thorough, and professional offering us two potential pricing options. We chose the more expensive one to give us greater confidence in a favorable outcome which we received."

"Mark was absolutely phenomenal. I specifically wanted someone with engineering experience and the owner of Domicile recommended I use Mark. He was beyond thorough and had exceptional attention to detail. He walked me through the steps he was taking and what he was looking for. If he found something deficient, he gave me suggestions on what needed to be done to make it passable. He also found that the sellers were dishonest about or unaware of some issues I specifically asked about. By the end of his inspection, I knew that we were not going to go through with the property so I told him to not worry about writing up the full report. As a result, he provided me a discount on the total, which was greatly appreciated."

"Our first project in our house was remodeling the first floor which was going to be a complete renovation.  I know nothing about <br /> remodeling or renovation. I asked a friend who recently had her kitchen remodeled. She recommended MB Design & Build.  My friend claimed that Martins was a creative and innovative designer.  She also said that Martins also was able to do all of the reconstructing with his crew of contractors and Construction Company.  When I called MB Design & Build I was able to speak directly with Martins. I was pleasantly surprised to be able to speak with the owner directly. Martins was professional and listened to my concerns and many questions. I began to feel excited about our remodel instead of feeling anxious.  Martins was <br /> able to show several designs on how to remodel our home.  We discussed costs and time frames.  I have to admit my friend was 100% correct that Martins Buka Design and Build are the best remodeling company.  My first floor is gorgeous. Everything from <br /> the floors to the ceiling lights to the walls and windows, but my new kitchen is the heart of it all!  Everything was done with the cost and time frames we set.  I highly recommend Martins Buka Design & Build for any remodeling home project. <br />"

"Stephen came back to my house several times to review the details of my project. I was quite particular about some of the design technicalities, and he was very responsive and attentive to all of my concerns. Stephen revised the drawings several times for me and offered a few different choices for how to proceed with the design. I am very happy with the final drawings and I would definitely use JSG Design again. <br />"

"I have had Tim inspect two properties in the past month as I search for a forever home. The first inspection revealed multiple issues and saved me from making a bad purchase. The 2nd home inspection was just finished and I had the report the same day and am ready to move forward with negotiations as the outcome was very different from the first property. Tim was very thorough and patient and I learned quite a bit. I read through the entire report and it was very clear and served to reinforced what he went over with me at the property. I can also use it as a guide line for maintenance going forward. Emma was also very helpful and thorough, and I came away feeling like we had known each other for a long time. Go Team Tim and Emma!"

FAQs for engineer structural projects in Willow Springs, IL

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.
