Residential structural work only — that's the specialty. Every service below ends the same way: drawings your contractor can build from and your jurisdiction will approve.
Structural design for second stories, room additions, wall removals, deck additions, and garage conversions. Designs account for what the existing structure can carry and what it can't — so the solution fits the house you have, not a house on paper.
Fits the existing house
Many Western Washington homes predate modern seismic code. Retrofit designs anchor the house to its foundation, brace cripple walls, and strengthen the load path — targeted work that addresses the region's real earthquake risk.
