- Free Estimates
- Decades of Experience
Overview
A residential structural engineer is the licensed professional who designs the structural changes behind a successful renovation. Removing a load-bearing wall, cutting a new opening, adding a second story, building a new addition, or finishing a basement all involve altering load paths in your home — and all require engineered drawings to be done safely, legally, and durably.
Engineering Solutions provides residential renovation structural engineering for homeowners, architects, designers, and contractors. We perform on-site evaluation, design the structural modifications, produce permit-ready PE-stamped drawings, and remain available during construction to answer questions and respond to field conditions. Our drawings are clear enough for your contractor to build from and rigorous enough for your building department to approve.
We provide residential renovation engineering across Florida and New England, with engineers fluent in the very different structural challenges each region presents — including Florida's hurricane wind-load and coastal construction requirements, and New England's snow-load demands and the structural considerations of older and historic homes.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a structural engineer to remove a load-bearing wall?
Yes. Removing a load-bearing wall alters the load path of your home and requires engineered drawings sealed by a licensed structural engineer to be safe and to obtain a permit in most jurisdictions.
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
Only a licensed structural engineer can confirm whether a wall is load-bearing. We perform on-site evaluations to determine which walls carry load and how those loads can be safely re-routed.
Will I need a permit for my renovation?
Most structural modifications require a building permit. Our PE-stamped drawings are formatted to meet the permit requirements of your local building department.
Can you help with a second-story addition?
Yes. We design second-story additions, dormers, and major additions — including the foundation reinforcement those projects often require.
Do you work in both Florida and New England?
Yes. We provide residential renovation structural engineering across both regions, with engineers fluent in the regional code and climate considerations.
