Why Hire a Structural Engineer?

A home inspector identifies potential issues. A licensed structural engineer determines whether they are truly structural — and what to do next.

Our inspections provide:

Clear explanation of structural conditions
Verbal findings or a written engineering report
Repair recommendations (if needed)
Documentation for real estate transactions
Stamped letter available when required

We do not perform repairs — so our assessments remain objective.

Our Structural Inspection Services

Foundation Inspections

Expansive and poor soils along Colorado’s Front Range commonly cause:

Foundation cracking
Settlement
Slab movement
Bowing foundation walls
Uneven floors
Cracking of exterior facade and interior drywall

We determine:

Is the cracking structural or cosmetic?
Is movement active?
Does it require repair?

Load-Bearing Wall Inspections

We evaluate:

Structural framing performance
Beam and column alignment
Concerns raised during home inspections
Wall removal feasibility for remodels

You receive clear documentation explaining the structural significance — or lack thereof.

Deck Inspections

We assess existing decks as well as inspect existing structures for deck additions or deck covers, this includes:

Ledger board attachment
Beam and joist integrity
Posts and footings
Structural hardware
Signs of deterioration
Structural condition of supporting structure

If deficiencies exist, we outline practical next steps.

Roof & Framing Inspections

We evaluate:

Sagging roof lines
Rafter and truss systems
Snow-load related concerns
Structural modifications
Leaking roofs
Roof inspections required by the building department (mid-roof, final roof, etc.)

Our goal is to determine roof performance and safety — not cosmetic appearance.
