What to check when hiring structural engineers in the United States
MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.
- Contractor licensing in the US is set by each state (and sometimes the city or county). For electrical, plumbing, HVAC or any major build, confirm the trade is licensed on your state's licensing board before hiring. Unlicensed work where a license is required can void permits and insurance and leave you no recourse.
- Ask for a lien waiver as you pay each stage: in most US states an unpaid contractor or subcontractor can place a mechanic's lien on your home even if you already paid the main contractor, and a signed waiver is your protection.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
- Get a written, itemized quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.
How to judge a structural engineer
Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each contractor’s public evidence above.
Verify before you hire
- A structural engineer must be a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in your state: some states also issue a separate Structural Engineer (SE) license; verify the license on your state board.
- Their stamped (sealed) calculations and drawings are what your building department needs for a permit: confirm they will provide a sealed set.
- Confirm professional liability (errors & omissions) insurance.
- Ask about direct experience with your specific issue (foundation, removing a load-bearing wall, an addition) and ask for references.
Warning signs of a rogue contractor
- No PE license, or won't seal the drawings your permit requires.
- No E&O insurance.
- The same firm that 'diagnoses' the problem also sells the repair, with no independent calculations.
- Pressure to sign off on major underpinning without a proper site investigation.
Questions to ask before you hire
- What is your PE (or SE) license number so I can verify it?
- Will you provide sealed, stamped drawings for the permit?
- Do you carry professional liability (E&O) insurance?
- Have you handled this exact problem before, and can I see references?
Frequently asked questions
- How do I choose a trustworthy structural engineer?
- Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. A structural engineer backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
- Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend structural engineers for payment?
- No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Structural engineers are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
- Where do the reviews come from?
- They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
- What should I check before hiring a structural engineer?
- Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the structural engineer, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
