The important clues are often out of sight.
Hands-On Investigation
Crawlspaces, foundations, framing connections and soil conditions can tell the story behind cracks, movement and uneven floors.
Why start with an engineer?
When you see a crack, uneven floor or other structural concern, the first question should be:
Ground to Structure approaches inspections as an engineering investigation. We evaluate the available evidence, identify the likely cause of the problem and recommend appropriate next steps.
When repairs are necessary, recommendations are developed with both engineering requirements and real-world constructability in mind.
Structural Engineering
Foundations, framing, walls, structural modifications, repairs, decks, docks and specialty structures.
Geotechnical Insight
Experience with soils, settlement, bearing conditions and slopes helps identify when underlying ground conditions may be contributing to a structural problem.
From the Structure to the Ground Beneath It
Structural problems do not always begin with the structure. Ground to Structure uses structural and geotechnical experience to recognize when soil conditions may be contributing to settlement, cracking or foundation movement, determine when additional investigation is warranted, and recommend appropriate next steps. When specialized geotechnical testing is needed, the appropriate scope can be identified and coordinated with qualified geotechnical professionals.
Trusted by Homeowners, Buyers & Realtors
We had Jeremy come out to our home and he was great to work with. He was quick to respond initially and made the process easy. We've also used him on many work projects. Highly recommend!
We hired Jeremy to inspect a house we were in contract to buy. He was able to schedule us in within a week. He thoroughly inspected the foundation and home then called me same day with a very detailed explanation of what was going on and how to move forward. An emailed report was also sent several days later to keep on file. He was very professional and explained things in simpler terms. We will definitely be asking him to come back out for any future concerns or projects.
Jeremy was great!! He came to help when I was in a bind and was there throughout the whole process. He made several site visits to make sure we were in good shape and county compliant. Pricing was more fair and he will be my first choice in any projects I have in the future!

Jeremy with Ground to Structure Engineering & Inspection, P.C. consistently provides exceptional service, detailed assessments, and clear explanations that help both buyers and homeowners feel confident and informed.
I truly appreciated the care and attention he gives during the inspection process, as well as the peace of mind he provides by confirming that the home did not have any structural concerns.
His professionalism, expertise, and ability to clearly communicate findings make a significant difference during what can often be a stressful part of a real estate transaction.
Jeremy’s recommendations and honest evaluations have been extremely valuable, and it has been a pleasure working with someone so reliable and experienced.
I highly recommend Ground to Structure Engineering & Inspection, P.C. to homeowners, buyers, and anyone needing a trusted structural engineering professional.
Jeremy came to my attic to assess trusses that were damaged from a tree. Jeremy spent over an hour assessing and discussing how to best repair each truss. He had a separate print out for each truss and detailed exactly what would be required to make it structurally sound. Jeremy referred me to a framing company and coordinated with them to ensure trusses were repaired correctly. He then came back to inspect and provided a sealed letter confirming the building is now structurally sound again. I would highly recommend calling Jeremy for any structural issues.
We hired Jeremy to provide an engineer’s report on a property we were buying and found him to be very responsive, thorough, and honest. He was easy to schedule with, showed up on time, and was quick to answer follow-up questions. He sent his report within about 24 hours after his inspection.
I am currently rebuilding the structural members of a 1940’s home .Jeremy from Ground to Structure did an incredible job inspecting and drawing up the plans/blueprints for the job. He thoroughly determined the severity of the issues and had the plans ready very quickly. Highly recommended to all who need a structural engineer.
Jeremy did a thorough structural inspection of my house and gave me an easy to understand repair plan. I appreciate his expertise, kindness, and professionalism. I'd recommend him to anybody.
Jeremy was outstanding to work with. He provided a clear, detailed assessment of our structural needs in a timely fashion and explained everything in straightforward terms. Jeremy is kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable.
We had an outstanding experience with Jeremy, our structural engineer. From start to finish, he was genuinely professional while also being very down-to-earth and easy to talk to. He explained everything in a way we could clearly understand, which made a stressful situation much easier to navigate.
What really stood out to us was how thorough Jeremy was. He inspected every part of our home from top to bottom—under the house, in the attic, on the roof, and even walked the entire property. He also took the time to walk the land behind our home to evaluate water flow and drainage and how it may impact our property, which we greatly appreciated.
At several points, when he noticed areas of concern, he would actually reference his building code book to double-check and confirm his findings. That level of care and integrity really spoke volumes about his commitment to providing accurate, code-based recommendations rather than just personal opinion.
We also appreciated that Jeremy is an independent structural engineer and not tied to any contractors. That gave us full confidence that his recommendations were truly in the best interest of our home and not influenced by any outside agenda.
On top of all of that, his pricing was very reasonable for the level of detail and professionalism he provided. We truly feel we received exceptional value.
We highly recommend Jeremy to anyone needing a thorough, honest, and knowledgeable structural evaluation.
