About Us
It all began with a passion for helping homeowners, businesses, and municipalities make safe, smart, and practical structural decisions. After years of working on large-scale projects, our founder, James P. Hegel, realized that smaller-scale residential, commercial, and municipal projects often didn’t receive the same level of expert attention — even though they were just as important to the people who relied on them.
With a vision to provide practical, precise, and personalized engineering solutions, H&B Structural Engineers was established to fill that gap. Our goal from day one has been simple: deliver high-quality structural engineering services that are accessible, clear, and tailored to each client’s needs. Whether it’s a home remodel, a small business retrofit, or a local municipal project, we approach every project with care, attention to detail, and a commitment to safety and compliance.
At H&B, we’re not just engineers — we’re your partner in making sure structures are safe, functional, and built to last.
