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
  • 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.

From Our Clients

Jason C. – Aurora, CO

“We contacted Cronin Engineering to inspect our home for the installation of a new roof type and they were easy to communicate with and responsive.  Luke came to our home within 2 days of talking to me and we had the engineering report in the same week.  If you need a structural engineer, I recommend contacting Cronin Engineering and Inspection.”

Steve J. – Cherry Hills Village, CO

“I had a great experience with Cronin Engineering and Luke Cronin.  They provided structural engineering for a residential remodel, and Luke went above and beyond-literally crawling through the attic and crawl space to ensure everything was done right.  The service was excellent: professional, efficient, and reliable.  Pricing was fair and transparent, which I really appreciated.  I’ll definitely be using them again in the future!”

Jay Y. – Greenwood Village, CO

“Luke and his team designed the structural elements of a pop-top addition with two covered patios and a second-floor walkout deck.  He was professional throughout, from pre-design inspection of the existing home, through the design process, including a round of revisions driven by our design changes.  He worked closely with our architect and general contractor to handle the details of the structural requirements and set us up for as smooth a construction phase as possible.  We’ll gladly work with Luke again if we have future projects requiring structural design.”
