Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered by our experts
Answers to the Most Common Questions For Property Owners, Contractors, and Condo Boards
What is the difference between a milestone inspection and a 40-year recertification?
A milestone inspection is a statewide requirement under Florida's SB 4-D for buildings three stories or taller — due at 30 years (or 25 years if within three miles of the coast). A 40-year recertification is specific to Miami-Dade and Broward counties and applies to all buildings once they reach 40 years of age. Depending on your building's location and age, you may need to comply with both. We help you determine exactly what applies and handle the entire process.
How quickly can you respond to a restoration or emergency structural assessment?
We understand that restoration companies and property owners operate on tight timelines. Our team typically responds within 24 hours of your initial call and can schedule on-site assessments within days depending on project urgency. For active fire or water damage projects, we prioritize turnaround so your restoration work is never waiting on engineering.
Do I need a structural engineer for a home remodel in Florida?
In most cases, yes. Any renovation involving load-bearing walls, roof modifications, second-story additions, or changes to the building's structural system requires a licensed structural engineer to provide sealed drawings for permitting. Even if you are unsure whether your project requires engineering, a quick consultation can save you significant time and money before you start.
What areas does Hoyos Engineering serve?
We serve all of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties — including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, West Palm Beach, Hollywood, Boca Raton, Coral Springs, and surrounding communities. We are also expanding our structural engineering services to Tampa and Orlando for restoration and inspection projects.
