"A ligthning strike damaged my irrigation control panel and my insurance allowed me to get it repaired. After spending a while looking for reputable companies able to fix my issue, I opted to go with Fisherguard Water protection. Jason, the owner from Fisherguard was very responsive, friendly and competent. The repairs were extensive and not cheap but the insurance accepted to cover it all. Jason did a great job fixing everything as promised and I have not had any issue since. I will definitely keep him in my contacts for future repairs or maintenance."

"Was sold on having my chimney propped up because it was leaning. Salesmen were confident in the one day turnaround and strong warranty the company could offer after drilling down then inserting metal rods to stop the chimney movement. Workers arrived 7 hours later than scheduled and were polite and apologetic. After two hours of digging I was informed there was a problem. The man in charge assured me he would meet with his engineer, keep me updated, and have a plan to finish the job the next day. I never heard from them again. The workers showed up the next day (I saw on my RING), filled in the holes and left. 4 days later I received an automated email saying my CC deposit was returned. Absolutely ZERO contact or follow up by the company. Shameful. Do NOT use this company under ANY circumstances"

"Our business with this company was very disappointing. We have a load-bearing wall that needs to be removed with the new support beam recessed into the ceiling. I thought we were hiring a professional engineer; instead, we got a “technician.” He arrived at the scheduled time, seemed to do a thorough inspection, talked about a solution, and promised to "sketch it out." The next week we received the report. It was a one-page report. (Past experience with a professional engineer resulted in a complete, comprehensive, several-page report outlining the situation and the requested solution, including drawings.) After reviewing the report, we realized he had not given us a solution to the problem of having the support beam being recessed into the ceiling, nor was there the promised sketch. Numerous text messages with pictures, emails, and phone calls were made. One call even went to the owner of the company. Promises were made and nothing happened. Finally, the office manager got involved. Let me just say here that all the women in the office were great and that is the only reason for 2 stars instead of a 1 star rating. With the office manager now working on our problem, we got a call from the technician. He did not understand what it was we wanted despite the numerous text messages, emails, and phone calls. It was explained again (at this point we quit asking for the sketch and just wanted a corrected report) and a report finally came to us. This was now two weeks after the initial incorrect report. Because of this, our trust in this company is gone and another professional engineer has been hired. He said this company has a bad reputation. I would not recommend this company."

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
