Katahdin Engineering is proud to serve the residential market - no matter how big or small the project may be.  For many, a home is the most important and expensive asset that you'll ever own, and we know you want to take care of it.  See below for ways in which we can help you as a current or prospective homeowner.

Buying or selling?

Home inspections sometimes uncover potential structural problems which warrant an additional inspection by a structural engineer.   We perform on-site inspection by a licensed structural engineer, diagnose any structural deficiencies, and provide a written report, including recommendations for any required remediation.  We understand that time is of the essence in these situations - we will commit to a schedule to keep your home-buying or -selling process on track.  

We also provide foundation certifications for manufactured homes for VA- and HUD/FHA-insured loans.  For more information on this specific service, please click here.

Renovating?

Take out a wall.  Add a bonus room.  Convert an attic space.  Install solar panels.  We are happy to consult on the feasibility of any proposed renovations or to provide plans for modifying your home's structure to accommodate your needs.  

Damage?

If your house was damaged by a storm, or if you are seeing signs of structural deterioration such as cracking foundations, bowing walls, or sagging floors, let us inspect your home to determine the probable cause, provide a plan to stop the deterioration and fix the damage, and most importantly make sure your home is safe.
