The Critical Role of Structural Engineers in Home Renovations

Single family home converted to a two-family home in North Bergen, NJ. Collaboration between Architect, Engineers, and Contractor maintained throughout construction. The demolition and foundation work were completed and wood framing is going up.

Home renovations are exciting projects that can transform your living space, but they often uncover or create structural challenges that require professional expertise. As experienced structural engineers, we frequently encounter a range of issues during renovation projects that homeowners may not anticipate. These can include the removal of load-bearing walls when creating open floor plans, foundation problems in older homes, roof sagging due to age or poor alterations, and inadequate support for new loads from additions or heavy appliances.

Other common challenges we see involve structural damage from water infiltration or pest infestations, insufficient lateral support in areas prone to high winds or seismic activity, and complications arising from previous DIY projects or unprofessional alterations. Each of these issues can significantly impact the safety, stability, and longevity of your home if not properly addressed.
