Frequently Asked Questions

We've gathered answers to the questions we hear most often from our valued clients. Our goal is to provide you with clear and concise information about our services, process, and values.

What is the first thing to do when designing or remodeling a home?

Prior to meeting with us, we recommend making a list of your needs and wants. This includes needs and wants for square footage, function, budget, timeline, and aesthetics. It is also a good idea to think about what you do not want as well. Instead of buying plans, bring us photos of floor plans, inspiration, and other items you like will help us start your project.

What is the process to work with Home Solutions?

We do our best to make the process as easy as possible for everyone. We start with getting to know our client and the goals for their project. We prepare a contract and once it’s signed, we guide our clients through a process of design, engineering, drafting, and then submitting plans for approval to get the project built. This process can be just a few meetings for small projects or longer for larger projects. If you have a time frame goal to achieve, please have that information ready for us at the beginning of the project.

What sets Home Solutions apart from other businesses?

We are a husband & wife team that gives you the best of both of us: creative problem-solving, engineering and money-saving, efficient design. We love thinking outside the box to offer solutions that haven’t been thought of before. One of our unique services is to draw homes in 3D so our clients can really visualize their project.

How much does your services cost?

We charge an hourly rate for our time, so it is very clear to our clients what they are being charged for. We do our best to guide our clients in a way that will meet their budget, however, there is always the possibility for the unexpected change in plans.

What areas do you serve?

Our business is based in Chico, California. We serve Chico, Orland, Willows, Paradise, Gridley, Live Oak, Yuba City, Red Bluff, Redding, and Chester. We serve Butte County, as well as the surrounding areas of Northern California.

How do I get started working with you?

That’s easy, just contact us! Either by phone or our website and we can schedule a phone call and then a consultation. Starting a project with us gives you benefits that other businesses cannot offer. By starting with a designer and engineer together, we can guide you in a way to design efficiently that can save money and time.

What our friends have to say ❤︎

We worked with Jeremy and Jen to design our new home in Durham. They are an amazing team to work with. They are super responsive. They put up with me changing my mind 1,000 times throughout the design process. I love Jen's creativity and really appreciated her helping us visualize the project in the design phase through 3D modeling. Jeremy always has cost efficiency in his mind during the design phase and worked closely with the construction team to create a cost-effective design without compromising the utmost quality. When we ran into issues during construction, Jeremy was always available to help answer questions or come up with creative solutions to keep us moving forward.

Structural Solutions did a great job with engineering our house, with creative solutions that saved us money. Our foundation sub commented on the efficiencies in our slab, and our framer stated that the house was engineered very well, which simplified the build. They were very easy and fun to work with and had great communication. Thanks Structural solutions!

Nate

We worked with Structural Solutions for our kitchen remodel. They helped us with every step from design to developing a plan. They turned what had been a stressful situation into a pleasant experience. I would and will recommend them to anyone looking for design or engineering consulting.

Stephanie

Working with Structural Solutions made our ICF house project a pleasant and stress free process. Not only did we find a great engineer but also a great designer who provided wonderful ideas. Communication is key and they were spot on, always returning calls and/or messages promptly. Jeremy solves engineering problems with innovative and cost effective solutions. We would not hesitate to use Structural Solutions again. Thank you for the excellent service.
