Remodels & Additions
Additions, second stories, and layout changes all load the existing house in ways it was not originally designed for. The structural set proves the new work is safe and gets the permit through.

- Existing-condition verification and framing repairs
- Coordination with your architect or designer

Straight answers
Remodels & Additions — common questions
How much do stamped remodel plans cost?
From $2 per square foot of affected area, delivered in about 2 weeks. You get a written quote before work begins.
Do you work with my architect?
Yes — a large share of the work comes through architects and residential designers who use us as their structural bench.
What if the city sends plan review comments?
Responding to structural plan review comments on our own set is part of the job, not a change order.
