Old cement-town rowhomes and solid working homes. I help Northampton homeowners with cracks, foundations, and renovation questions.
Northampton grew up around the cement industry, and a lot of its homes are sturdy older rowhomes and twins built for the workers back in the day. They were built well, but decades of settling and a few rough basements come with the territory.
If you’ve got a crack, a damp bowing basement wall, or a floor that’s gone springy, I’ll come take a look and tell you what’s actually going on. No scare tactics, just a straight read and a plan that fits the problem.
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 Northampton 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.
Usually pressure from soil and water pushing on the wall over time. It tends to get worse, so it’s worth handling. I’ll confirm the cause and design a fix that stops it.
Bouncy floors usually point to the joists or supports. Often it’s fixable and not dangerous, but a quick look tells you for sure. I’ll size the right fix if it needs one.
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.
