Phil was very responsive, inspected the site, analyzed the situation and gave me several options. The old brick columns were not even touching the beam over the slab and had been placed there as decoration more than load bearing which would be the thing to do if large snowfall got on a short section of the roof. I had the concrete folks dig 3' plus piers with rebar installed so that new metal adjustable poles could be added on top of the porch slab to support the beam and would have more than an 8" slab under them to support it. Then with the beam properly supported, two new brick columns could be added as decoration to hide the multi-ton metal poles that support the short roof section. Henderson Engineering did a great job and Phil was very helpful. I'd definitely use them again if I need structural engineering work done.
Description of Work: In preparation for a porch that had settled that needed to be replaced, I wanted a structural engineering company to look at the two brick columns that were on the front porch that appeared to support a long large beam that held up part of the roof. The existing two brick columns as it turned out were not load bearing, but perhaps should've been. Phil Henderson came out before the porch demolition took place, analyzed the situation, gave me options for what I could do, and then returned to inspect the piers that would be dug before the slab would be replaced and where I would eventually put two new metal adjustable poles surrounded by brick columns.
