Remodeling opportunities

Load Bearing Wall Removal

Many buyers purchase a home because of “The Potential” and are fully prepared to remodel. If walls will be knocked out, a structural engineer is essential to determine load bearing walls and to engineer new structural systems. Complete Building Solutions can inspect a home and help you plan and budget accordingly to achieve your vision.

Structural Alterations

If you plan to alter structural components of a home, you will need an engineering inspection. Examples of structural alterations are: egress window addition, removal of a column or load bearing wall or any form of addition where framing is altered.  Complete Building Solutions can analyze your desired changes and provide you with a report and scope of work for the project.

Structural defect or poor workmanship

It is important to cover your bases before purchasing or selling a home. Complete Building Solutions provides inspections and reporting for questionable items such as sagging beams, water intrusion, cracked foundations, temporary supports, or poor workmanship. Warning! Some of these items are not covered in a regular home inspection.

"Wow!! I was so impressed with the service"

“I put in an offer on a house and the inspectors found possible cracks in the foundation walls. CBS was able to come out on extremely short notice and give me a detailed report on the damage and advice on how to fix it before my inspection contingency finished...I recommend them to anyone who needs an engineer's report on their home.”

“Bought a new house and we wanted to remove the wall. Didn't look hard to do, but once I opened the wall, it didn't look good for me. This was the first time I called for an engineers input...They did it in such short notice, it was fantastic..."

"On short notice, we needed an engineer to assess the structural integrity of an old house we were buying. Stephen Hammill was our engineer, and he did a fantastic job. I took notes during the inspection for my own records, but Stephen emailed us a report the next day that covered everything. I would definitely hire Complete Building Solutions again."
