A small borough of older homes packed onto the hill above south Bethlehem. I help Fountain Hill owners with cracks, settling, and renovation questions.
Fountain Hill is a tight little borough sitting up on the hill above the south side of Bethlehem, and most of its homes are older twins and singles built close together on sloped lots. Age plus a hillside means settling and the occasional cracked wall come with the territory.
If something’s got you wondering whether it’s serious, I’ll come out and tell you straight. And if you’re updating an older Fountain Hill home and want to open up a wall or add on, you’ll get drawings the borough will approve.
Whatever you are building or worried about, you get a clear answer and drawings that pass the first time.
Cracks, sagging floors, or foundation worries inspected and explained, with a clear fix.
Find out what can come out, with a stamped beam design that carries the load safely.
Engineered, code-compliant plans your contractor can build and your township will permit.
Conformance letters and reports for permits and real estate deadlines, turned around fast.
I come to your Fountain Hill property and look at the real conditions.
I find the cause and tell you how serious it is, in plain language.
You get a repair plan or signed, permit-ready drawings.
Sometimes the slope plays a part, sometimes it’s just age. The crack pattern tells the story. I’ll look and tell you whether it’s movement worth addressing or cosmetic.
Yes. I work with older construction all the time, figure out what can change safely, and give you stamped drawings to permit it.
An engineer tells you what is actually wrong and what the right fix is, then your contractor does the work. Getting the engineer first means you do not pay for the wrong repair, and for structural work most townships require stamped drawings from an engineer anyway.
It depends on the job. A quick assessment is on the low end and full stamped drawings cost more. Either way you get a clear price up front before any work starts.
Tell me what is going on. I will get right back to you, usually the same day.
