Renovation and New Construction

Residential renovation projects often involve changes to walls, ceilings, floors, roofs, openings, or foundations. Without proper structural support, these modifications can affect the load path of the home and lead to future movement, cracking, sagging, or framing distress.

Riley Residential Structural Engineering can evaluate proposed renovations and provide structural recommendations for beams, columns, headers, rafters, framing, foundations, and other supporting elements. Calculations and written recommendations can be provided when needed for contractors, permit review, or project planning.

For additions and new construction tied into an existing home, structural design support can be provided for framing and foundations so that new work is properly supported and coordinated with the existing structure.
