Old slate-era homes in the heart of the Slate Belt. I help Pen Argyl owners with foundations, cracks, and structural questions.
Pen Argyl is Slate Belt through and through, full of older homes built during the slate boom. They were built tough, but a century-plus of settling, water, and ground movement leaves its mark on foundations and walls.
I’ll take a look and give it to you straight, whether that’s good news or a fix you’ll want to plan for. No scare tactics, just a real read.
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 Pen Argyl 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.
Depends on the crack. Some are just age, some point to movement. I look at the width, shape, and location and tell you which.
Yes. Send me the quote and what you’re seeing and I’ll tell you whether it fits the problem before you spend the money.
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.
