Although my project was small, William agreed to help. Professional and punctual, drawing delivery was on time. Thank you!

Professional and Thorough.

If you are expecting a written report, forget it. William just comes out and says you have issues. Then he proceeds to verbally tell you what the issues are using words you have never heard before. I would not recommend using this person and I will never contact him again.

I was referred to William from Homeadvisor. He was professional, prompt, very knowledgeable, and reasonable. I would diffidently hire him again and recommend him.

My project was small, but WL McCarthy was very professional, timely and provided the information that I needed

William went above and beyond what was expected of him for the structural inspection. I have had structural inspections for properties all over the country and his was the most thorough report I have ever received. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

We needed a structural engineer to tell us if a wall we wanted to remove was load bearing. William came out right away, showed up on time and charge a very modest fee. I would highly recommend using him, if you need a structural engineer. 6 out of 5 stars.

William provided me with a Architectural and Structrual set of plans for a kitchen expansion. He was very knowledgable, professional and fast. I would recommend him to anybody that needed this type of work done.

The man is fair, but he thinks his designs are best and when question on them he dislike it. He took the completed plans to the city which were approved, I never got to review them with him before submitting them to city. When I ask questions about the plans it offended him. I believe I'm paying the bill and can make any decision or change I want ! There were many of them. I well not recommend to any one.

Find More Pros

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.

To find more licensing information for your state, visit our Licensing Requirements page. Note that some states require local or county level licensing and you should verify whether or not your pro is properly licensed.

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.



NOTE: Member service professional information confirmed as described above may change or expire over time; while HomeAdvisor attempts to maintain accurate and up-to-date information, and confirms changes when notified, we cannot guarantee that profile and screening information is accurate. Therefore, we recommend that before working with a service professional you verify that information presented is still current and/or acceptable to you.
