"We contacted Mr. Hood after several foundation companies (with great reviews) gave wildly differing solutions for moisture in the crawlspace. Mr. Hood quickly identified an issue with the gutter downsplashs and possible grading issues. Boom! Problem solved and thousands saved. Thank you for inspecting, evaluating, and recommending a reasonable solution. Kudos to Mr. Hood. "

"On 6/1/2022 a technician shows up for a water leak under my home, the tech was friendly, on time, and professional, in appearance. I point out where the leak is, after 30 minutes he says the main pipe is probably plugged which created additional weight, possibly stretching supports and as a result the shower drain pipe had been disconnected. He said he would write up a quote, and I was shocked to find it was for 10k. I refused service but asked for a detailed write up for what needed because I was paying an $89.00 Regular Service Fee (29-89) and another fee, MISC level 1 1 which was $97.00 for god knows what. Here is the write up I received from the technician.(More commentary below) "END TASKS*/ upon arrival customer had leak in crawl space and shower has disconnected the reason this disconnected is due to the weight of the sewer line this line is full of water and when wisher is ran it backs up out of this line causing a leak this line has fallen in ,multiple spots and is sagging in multiple spots this is abs piping. I gave options to repipe both bathrooms and then after run camera to locate septic tank. The reason customer is not backing up into house is because everything comes out this shower drain. I gave customer the options for repipe he did not want to continue with any work there is not a cleanout outside for me to camera this line and cannot locate where line exits home for ability to locate septic tank. Options were provided customer did not want to proceed with any work inspection fee was charged. Repipe and camera locate septic Camera Locate Septic Tank from Clean Out 1x $369.00 2 bath/kitchen/laundry drain only L1 1x $9,552.00 Deposit on Ben Society Agreement 1yr $99.00 Start date: 06/01/2022 Subtotal: $10,020.00 Discount: - $315.00 Tax: TBD $9,705.00 I asked how long this work would take and was told 2-3 days. Simple math tells me I could pay a guy 100$ an hour for 97 hours, or 2 full weeks and then some at that rate. I thought to myself, ok, he does not want to do the work so he priced himself out. I am ok with that, but the business owner should be made aware of what is going on and cut these guys loose because there are plenty of other options out there. I am also shocked at the lack of detail for pricing, for 10k I need know specifically what is being done, on a line by line basis. After all, I paid almost 200 dollars and I would like to think I am owed that much. One last detail, I did call in and spoke to "Angel" who said she would relay my concerns and that someone would be calling me back. I am not holding my breath."

"N&L planted a redbud tree in one of the 2 planting beds in my small enclosed patio, and installed river rocks in both beds. Because my patio is only accessible by foot, all materials had to be brought to the patio by wheelbarrow, and all work had to be done manually. N&L did an excellent job, and for a reasonable price."

You’ll want to consult a structural engineer if you’re making changes that include altering your home’s load-bearing properties. You should also hire a structural engineer if your architect, realtor, or local home inspector recommends it. You may want a structural engineer to help modify a home in an earthquake, hurricane, or flood zone, modify the locations of doors and windows, or add additional floors to a home.
You'll need to choose whether you need an architect, home inspector, or structural engineer, depending on what you need. Architects work to design the form and function of the home, including structural elements. Structural engineers focus on the home’s load-bearing and functional aspects, while home inspectors assess a home’s condition during real estate transactions, after natural disasters, or during appraisals.
During a site visit, residential structural engineers near you inspect the foundation, infrastructure, curtain wall, insulation, and building envelope. Through careful inspection and comparison to the approved building plans, the pro ensures the actual building meets the drawings provided or advises corrections. They must approve the completion of each stage, often required before the next development phase can begin.
A structural engineer makes approximately $68,000 to $147,000 per year or around $70 to $250 per hour.
Structural and mechanical engineering are both subdisciplines of civil engineering. Structural engineers specialize in loads and forces put on structures and often work in residential and commercial settings to create load-bearing structures like walls, foundations, and bridges.
Civil engineers work on infrastructure projects in both public and private settings. These include roadways, sewage systems, bridges, and tunnels. Mechanical engineers design and maintain power systems such as generators, engines, turbines, refrigeration systems, escalators, and elevators.
