Best Home Structural Engineers Near Ashburn

Structural Engineers In Your Area

Structural engineers are licensed professionals who analyze the forces on a building to make a determination as to whether it can hold up (withstand) those forces. They are an absolute must if your contractor or home inspector detects the early warning signs that there may be a problem with a home's structure or if you have any questions about whether a wall is supporting the weight of the floor above it. Some reasons you may need to call in a structural engineer near you include:

  • Building an addition or altering a room's layout (which may require tearing down walls)
  • Installing solar panels on the roof
  • Buying a home where a home inspector has indicated there may be a structural problem
  • Noticing cracks in foundation walls, bowing walls, uneven floors, cracks around windows, and standing water in your basement
  • Observing termite, fire, wind, or water damage

When it comes time to hire a structural engineer, be sure to get quotes, read reviews, and interview multiple candidates. HomeAdvisor can help with this process.

"The engineer showed up without a ladder. I would have thought that since the work was assessing if a wall was load bearing based on roof structure, that he woud have brought a ladder to get into the attic loft. We just bought the home and moved from a condo so we did not have one, which was a bit frustrating. But the expetise was spot on and he gave a full detailed report that I was able to submit to the city planners when applying for my permit. Very happy with the quality of work. Just bring a ladder next time...."

"Mr. David Hall was able to quickly come and assess the foundation of our home that was in question during a sell. He put us and the buyer at ease and gave us the confidence we needed to move forward with the sale of our house. He made himself available, even after hours when I called with a question. Mr. Hall is a punctual and ethical professional and I would recommend him to anyone in the DC Metropolitan area that needs a structural engineer. "

"Awaiting report and plan for structural stabilization. Firm very prompt, professional, and courteous. Seems to be an internal communication problem in that the principal has called twice inquiring whether to keep our case open, although we understood that the engineer who did the actual inspection would be away for two weeks, and that the report and contract would not be formalized until early June."

"Working with Jesse was a very pleasant experience from the start. He presented himself as very knowledgeable, experienced, highly qualified professional in every aspect of the project. He came over to our house at a very short notice, provided his recommendations and drove the paperwork to County's approval in a very expedited manner. If you are looking for a structural engineer who knows how to get the job done, I would highly recommend working with Jesse."
