We have some joists with wood rot that need to be professionally assessed. Can anyone make some recommendations for an engineer? We are in N Durham. Thanks!
The only structual engineer I know is Gregory Tierney of Tierey Engineering in Apex. He would probably go to Durham. He has gone from Apex to Raleigh for me. I will PM you with his number.
If you just have rotted joists all you should need is a licensed contractor though. Structural engineers are more for foundation cracks, cut engineered trusses, etc. PM me with specifications of the problem and I will be glad to help you out.

Thanks sacredgrooves. You helped me out as well. I'll have to keep him in mind.
Is he Atef Takla? He did some work on our house via our builder in certifying a floor adjustment. Floor is still holding!!!! he must be good.
yep...he may be slow to respond and not very personable but there is not another engineer that know framing better than atef.
ps: i have used every enginer mentioned above and probably all in the area
