Triangle, NC - Wake, Durham, Orange Counties

Residential Structural Engineer

We do residential. That is the entire business. Homes - not high-rises, not bridges. The depth that comes from doing one thing all day is what you feel when we walk your foundation, your floor system, or your wall removal.

When to Call Us

A residential structural engineer is the right professional for any home question that involves load, deflection, or movement. That includes foundations and crawl spaces, load-bearing wall removals, additions and second stories, decks and porches, retaining walls, and storm or impact damage. We have completed thousands of residential inspections in the Triangle - depth that turns into faster diagnoses and better recommendations.

Common signs and scenarios

  • Visible cracks, settlement, or movement in your home
  • A renovation, addition, or wall removal that needs an engineer
  • A home inspector recommended further structural evaluation
  • An insurance claim that requires PE-stamped documentation
  • A real-estate transaction that needs a clean structural answer
  • A deck, porch, or retaining wall you are not sure is safe

Frequently Asked

Inspects, analyzes, and designs the structural elements of homes - foundations, floors, walls, roofs, and everything that carries load. We diagnose problems and design fixes, then deliver a stamped report or set of plans.

A home inspector flags concerns. A licensed PE diagnoses them. If the home inspector recommended 'further structural evaluation,' the next call is to a residential structural engineer.

Most residential structural inspections in the Triangle range from $750 to $1,250. Wall removals, additions, and stamped designs are quoted separately - always flat fee, always upfront.

Most reports are delivered within 1-2 business days of the on-site visit. Stamped design work usually takes 3-5 business days.
