engineer needed for advice
We have a few questions about our fairly new single family frame house in Brooklyn. We don't want to break the bank on a big firm, since I think the list of questions we have is short and specific.
Mainly, we are worried about a 10" crack in an interior wall, wondering if the slats on the wood floors are separating due to poor installation or indicate a problem with the sub-floor, and if the house was properly insulated since the developers keep refering to the house as "attached", but in reality it is only attached on one side, and only for one story. And those walls are cold!
Can anyone recommend an engineer/architect/local firm that can take a look and answer some of our questions, at a reasonable price?

A private building inspector is what you need. They are generally better at diagnosing flaws in multiple systems. They have the specialized tools for a thorough investigation. I have no one to recommend, do a little research they are plentiful.

Second the home inspector. They see this stuff everyday and will know what's happening. I can't remember the ones I used right now... they were good... I try to come back here if I remember. Search the forum.
