I was very worried because I had started to see cracks developing along the edge of a wall and along where the new pad interfaced with the old pad. I looked for a foundation inspector on Angie's list and selected SML based on their grade. I spoke to Peter and we made an appointment to review the damage. Peter arrived at my house on time and took a look at the damage and took pictures. He then let me know that I was looking at cosmetic and not foundation damage. He also gave me some recommendations regarding the best way to address the cosmetic damage.
Description of Work: I had had my porch enclosed and I started to see cracks developing. I was worried that the additional concrete poured to raise the floor was causing problems to the foundation. Peter came out and took a look at the cracks and told me that they were cosmetic and not due to foundation problems. He also gave me some guidance on what needed to be done to address the cosmetic issues. Then, since he didn't need to complete a formal report for me on the inspection, he just charged me for time and materials.

Description of Work: I had a small job that the firm couldn't get into their schedule for a month. However, one of the engineers referred me to an associate who was able to do it right away. I was very impressed with their professionalism.

AAA+ - WE WERE SO PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM AND RESPONSIVENESS. WE WANTED THE SERVICES OF A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER TO HELP US ASSESS THE PROBLEMS OF SOME MAJOR LOOKING CRACKS ON A HOME WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING. THE HOUSE WAS ON A HILLSIDE AND WE WERE UNSURE IF THE PROBLEMS WERE DUE TO SETTLING, WATER OR A COMBINATION... THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WAS EXTREMELY AND WAS ABLE TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM AND COMMUNICATE IT TO US IN LAYMAN'S TERMS. HE WAS ABLE ALSO TO PROVIDE US WITH MULTIPLE SUGGESTIONS AS TO SOLUTIONS ON HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. HE GAVE US REALISTIC TIME LINES AND EXPLAINED THE STEPS AND THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN TO DO THE JOB PROPERLY. WE WERE VERY PLEASED.
Description of Work: STARLING AND ASSOCIATES PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES OF CIVIL & STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS. HIRED TO DO A STRUCTURAL INSPECTION OF A HOUSE ON A HILLSIDE AND REPORT ON FINDINGS AND RECOMMEND POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO MAJOR CRACKS IN FLOOR AND WALL.
