About Karen

Karen is a licensed professional engineer who has designed and inspected foundation and structural repairs for 20 years across the expansive-clay soils of the Midwest. She evaluates cost by the engineering reality — pier type and depth, soil conditions, water management, and access — rather than a flat per-crack quote.

Her structural background also covers framing, demolition, and load-bearing changes, where safety and permitting drive cost.

Karen reviews the foundation, basement, framing, and demolition calculators to keep their ranges anchored to engineered, code-compliant work.
