Comment: I have severe cracking on one of the walls in my basement. The cracking has become progressively worse - it started as a barely noticeable step crack, and is now a number of step, vertical, and horizontal cracks. I need someone to come in and tell me what needs to be done to fix it, and how much I'll have to pay a contractor to to do the work.

Comment: I have a large house with no garage and abundant basement space. How about cutting into the cinder block wall on the gable side to allow for a garage door? I believe your services would be required for me to know feasibility, how big to make the header afterward, what other construction rules apply inside and out, how to support that part of the structure while cutting out the wall, whether the huge I-beams to either side of the cut need extra support, etc. Our site is also unique enough that I may be tempted too hire you for landscape design too. It's 4000 Hunters Ridge Dr., the old clubhouse off Waverly just north of Holmes. Okay, give a call. Thanks xxxxxxxxxxxx
