Reviews
Write a ReviewVery helpful. Provided me with drawing and advice on the materials to use
I hired this company to get a structural report for a house I was trying to purchase. The report was incomplete and did not address the needed repairs to the property to make it structurally sound. I lost the deal on the house because the engineer sent his incomplete report to the listing agent and then went out of town the same day and was unable to revise it.
Licensed engineer's opinions are sought after and valued for the very reason that they are licensed by the State. Such licenses require, in addition to a proven expertise - honesty, integrity and a high ethical standard. The reason an engineer's letter of findings has value is that it can be relied on. It is an honest, expert opinion of the facts. When someone's intention is to pay (buy?) an engineer to manipulate the facts on a property for financial gain and attempt to coerce falsehood or a stretching of the truth in order to make out financially (and damage other parties), they should pass us by because they will be disappointed in the result. We don't modify our findings for a price. If we did, we wouldn't be licensed engineers ? To be clear, we want to help identify structural issues that impact the value of a property so that our client is aware and can make better decisions. We are here to help, to be your advocate; however, we will not overstate or misstate the truth. Lastly, we have been in home building, construction, civil & structural engineering for 30+ years. I think the phrase is: we didn't just fall of the turnip truck.
Very thorough and honest. Assessed the damages to my home and offered me a variety of options. Recommended the one he thought would suit our needs best.
Very helpful. Exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

Scott Z. came to my home to give recommendations on removing a load bearing wall. I paid him $250 for his time, visiting and as payment toward future work. He told me that for another $100 he'd give me a design for permitting. All that was required of me was to send him measurements and a drawing. It took me a few months to get to it. Once I did, he informed me that he completely forgot about my project and hadn't saved any of his measurements and had no photos of my house. Those were for me to provide, again. And he raised his price to $150 despite what we discussed. Nevertheless, I did what he asked. When I did send him the info, he ignored my emails. I never heard from him again even when I asked if he got the emails or if he was still interested. Thank goodness he flaked because I have found a much better engineer who has done a thorough assessment of my home's unusual make-up. The new engineer did not require me to send drawings or photos. If Scott had tried to calculate a beam or posts based on what little I could provide, it would have been wrong because he didn't have all the info an engineer needs. Either he never collected it or he lost it. And he sure wasn't going to come back to redo his assessment even though that would have been the right thing to do. My $250 was wasted on his advisory visit because nothing he told me was based on calculations or a thorough assessment. What he told me about the beam jutting up to a window was wrong and it wrongly influenced my decisions. What a relief to be free of him and not spend more good money toward bad. What a rip off!
