"I did not have the same good experience as other reviewers. Abraham Miller of Green Age installed my solid hardwood floor and within a few months the floor started separating. Some boards started moving back and forth and huge gaps appeared between the boards. Gaps wider than the width of a quarter. You could actually see the nails or lack of nails in the boards. During the install he seemed very concerned about his time and getting the job done as fast as he could which resulted in lack of care for the quality of his work and it’s outcome. He did not follow manufacturer’s installation recommendations or industry standards. The nails were too short and nail spacing on some boards were 15” to 33” apart and some boards had no nails in them at all. He used less than half the number of recommended nails in just about every board we pulled. When contacted about the problems, he just didn’t respond. He didn’t honor his contract warranty on his work, was very unprofessional and didn’t take responsibility for the issues he caused, placing blame everywhere else. Finally, after being contacted by a lawyer, he agreed to fix the floor and gave his word that he would, but never showed each time the work was scheduled and never bothered to call. He was given many chances to resolve the issues. He was finally sued and on Nov. 15, 2018 we were awarded a judgment against him for the cost of a new floor. I would not recommend any dealings with a person of this integrity."

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.
