My name is Blake Shadid and I have been working as a structural engineer for over 10 years with a wide variety of experience.  I spent the first 7 years of my career at a large global engineering firm working on anything from electrical substations to oil and gas terminals to food manufacturing plants.  I was fortunate to gain a great deal of knowledge due to the complexity of the design for these structures and foundations.  For the past 4 years, I have been solely focused on residential structural engineering and have performed thousands of home inspections and developed plans for new homes, remodels, home additions, covered decks, load-bearing wall removal, retaining walls, and so much more.

I created Resolve Engineering because I have seen the amount of frustration that homeowners and realtors go through by receiving separate bids from contractors that have contradicting opinions. I want to provide clarity to clients as to what is actually going on in their home, and what they need to do to solve the problem. Repairs to homes are not always black and white, and multiple solutions can oftentimes resolve the same issue.

I enjoy working with clients on engineered plans because I take pride in providing a smooth project experience from start to finish. Long lead times on engineered plans at larger firms unnecessarily increase costs on projects and understandably adds frustration for clients. I want to alleviate that frustration by working closely with clients to provide quality deliverables while meeting all deadlines.

As the founder of Resolve Engineering, my top priorities are responsiveness, consistency, and accuracy.  If you call, I will answer and if you email, I will respond.  Most importantly, if you schedule with Resolve Engineering, I will be the person that comes to inspect your home and the one to develop your plans.  I am a licensed Professional Engineer and will always work to give you transparency and reliable information.
