1.0 David B. Ann Arbor, MI
3/23/2026

He seemed like a knowledgeable guy, did the inspection, and said he would draw up plans for a permit. I reached out a few weeks later and he told me he'll get the plans by "the end of the week," then 2 weeks later I called him again and he said "by tomorrow" and now weeks later he's not returning calls, texts, or emails (despite getting read receipts from text messages...). I guess he decided he didn't want the job, but the lack of communication and follow up is just so unprofessional. We are now months behind schedule because we have to find a new structural engineer.

Hired David for a consultation at my home. He is knowledgeable on the subject and provided very good advice. However, after paying him, he cut off all contact and did not send the report/ written instructions even though we aligned on this being done when he was present. For residential customers, I would request a written agreement and itemized receipt from him for what items were done and will be done before paying him so you dont risk running into this issue

Mr. Arnsdorf, was able to fit me in to his schedule the same day and it was seriously a blessing! He was on time and very well versed on things I could do and needed to do to protect my property. Mr.Arnsdorf, provided a detailed report the same day as well! Great job!

We hired Dave to look at our house(2/2019) before removing a load bearing wall, and are extremely happy with the structural integrity of our home after following his advice. He gave us a detailed plan that was easy to follow, and we were able to meet our goals with his knowledge. He was very professional and easy to work with.

HomeAdvisor allows Service Professionals to post information about themselves and their business on their profile. HomeAdvisor does not review or verify the information representations set forth in those profiles as they are self-reported by the Service Professional.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
