Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Services

Q: What do you design?
A: If it’s aluminum and built to handle sun, wind, and rain—we design it. From elegant pool cages and sleek carports to cozy lanais, screened rooms, and both pan and insulated roof systems, we make it look good and make it last.
From backyard shade to full outdoor retreats—we’ve got it covered.

Q: Can you work on existing structures?
A: Yes. We handle beam checks, tie-ins, and light Category II modifications so your upgrades are as solid as your original build.
Upgrades and retrofits that feel like they were always there.

Engineering & Certification

Q: Are your plans really stamped by a PE?
A: Absolutely. Every set is reviewed, approved, and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer—because “almost to code” isn’t in our vocabulary.
Certified strength. Guaranteed compliance.

Q: Do you cover the foundation and anchoring?
A: Definitely. From post sizing to uplift checks, we make sure your structure stays put—even when Mother Nature gets pushy.
Built to stand tall—no matter the storm.

Process & Turnaround

Q: What do I need to send you?
A: A sketch, a few photos, and your project details. We’ll turn that into a fully engineered plan set ready for permit submission—no drafting degree required.
You dream it, we’ll draw it.

Q: How fast can I get my plans?
A: Standard turnaround is 2–3 days, but if you’re racing the clock, we have 24-hour and even same-day options. We’re faster than the weather can change.
Plans in days—or even hours.

Permits & Approval

Q: Will my plans pass the first time?
A: That’s the goal—and we hit it nearly every time. If the AHJ asks for changes, revisions are on us.
First-time approvals. Every time.

Communication & Support

Q: Can I talk directly to the engineer?
A: Always. No gatekeepers, no “we’ll get back to you”—just straight answers from the person actually designing your project.
Direct answers. Zero runaround.
