Know What’s Under Your Home – Expert Foundation Assessments
Engineering Services
I provide professional Engineering Services through a partnership with Noble Engineering Services. These services are designed to give you clear, expert insight into your foundation’s current condition and any repairs that may be needed now or in the future. A thorough foundation assessment is critical for protecting your property, guiding repairs, and supporting financing decisions.
Engineering Services
Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation - $500
The purpose of an Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation is to have an Engineer investigate and determine, to the extent possible, the foundation's current condition and any necessary repairs that may be needed immediately and/or in the future.
I, through a partnership with Noble Engineering Services, understand that foundation issues can be a cause for concern for property owners, and we aim to provide clear and concise information to help you make informed decisions about any repairs needed for your property.
The evaluation by our team generally includes:
Documenting visual observations made during a physical walkthrough
Observing factors influencing the performance of the foundation
Conducting an interview of occupants/owners/managers regarding a history of the property and foundation
Reviewing pertinent information including Geotech reports, construction drawings, field reports, and repair docs
Providing elevation, deflection, and tilt calculations to assess foundation performance and establish a baseline
Providing a detailed conclusion and Executive Summary.
HUD/ FHA Mobile Home Structural Engineering Inspections - $265
I, through a partnership with Noble Engineering Services, can perform a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) structural engineering inspection to meet the requirements under the Permanent Foundations Guide for Manufactured Housing (PFMGH).
Our team will visually assess the existing foundation and determine if a permanent foundation is present, attached, sound, and fully supported per the PFMGH requirements for HUD.
Our team can then customize an engineering report for you and your lender (depending on VA, FHA, or Conventional financing).
Engineers Inspection Review - $150
The purpose of an engineering inspection review is to assess the home or condo inspection report for signs of structural or foundation deficiencies. An Engineer will analyze the visual evidence presented, such as cracks, sloping floors, or other potential indicators of foundation movement, and provide a professional opinion on whether there is justifiable concern that warrants further investigation.
If the findings suggest the possibility of deeper structural issues, the Engineer may recommend a full Engineer’s Foundation Evaluation where actual elevation measurements are surveyed for the purpose of calculating tilt and deflection.
This Engineering review is based solely on the visual information included in the inspection report gathered by highly trained inspectors.
Engineer’s Cost Segregation Analysis - $725
Cost segregation is a powerful tax strategy that helps property owners unlock hidden cash flow from their buildings. By identifying and reclassifying components of your property into shorter-lived asset categories, you can accelerate depreciation and significantly reduce your tax liability in the early years of ownership. This process involves a detailed engineering-based analysis of your building’s systems, finishes, and land improvements. If you’ve recently purchased, constructed, or renovated a commercial or residential rental property, we can help! Our team will evaluate your property and provide a fully documented cost segregation study to support your tax position through partnership with Noble Engineering. Don’t miss out on valuable tax savings.
Load Bearing Wall Evaluation - $450
Load-bearing walls are a critical component of your property’s structural system. These walls support the weight of your building and transfer it from the roof to the foundation. Changing the layout of these walls is a complex process that requires the expertise of a licensed structural engineer. If you are planning a home renovation or expansion project and are unsure if a wall is load-bearing, we can help. Our team will evaluate your wall and determine the best course of action for your project through partnership with Noble Engineering. Don’t risk compromising your property’s safety, contact us for a load-bearing wall evaluation today.
Damaged Truss or Timber Evaluation - $450
Roof trusses and structural timber play a key role in maintaining the stability and integrity of a home’s roof structure. When these components are damaged, altered, or repaired outside of standard methods, questions often arise during inspections and real estate transactions.
This damaged truss and timber evaluation assesses observed conditions during inspection, reviews prior repairs or modifications, and helps determine whether the structure appears to be performing as intended. If not, an engineer provides framing solutions necessary to restore structural integrity. The goal is to clarify structural concerns, support underwriting decisions, and help reduce unnecessary delays while prioritizing safety.
Defect Cost Report - $75
A Defect Cost Report provides an organized, itemized opinion of repair and replacement costs associated with deficiencies identified during a home inspection. This report is commonly used by buyers, sellers, and real estate agents to better understand the potential financial impact of observed conditions and to support repair negotiations or budgeting decisions.
The Defect Cost Report reviews documented inspection findings and applies industry-based cost data to estimate individual repair costs, full replacement costs when applicable, and duplicate costs where overlap exists. Estimates may also reflect practical repair approaches intended to restore functionality, safety, and overall condition. The goal is to provide a clear, high-level budgeting tool that improves clarity, reduces uncertainty, and supports informed decision-making.
