Description of Work: They came to my house to give me a quote for some work on my foundation. The gentleman, Mark, seemed to be very nice. He said he would get me a quote the following week but never did. I emailed him weeks later, thinking maybe he needed more time, and asked him for the quote but didn't get a response at all. Really rude in my opinion. I've never encountered that before. So I chose a different contractor - who was much more thorough during the inspection process and gave me a quote the following day!

Response from Alpha Structural, Inc.
Dear Members Name Removed, I am sorry for your bad experience with our firm, that certainly was not our intention. There is no good reason for the delay in getting back to you so no explanation is sufficient. As a note though, our office has no record of a message or email coming from you requesting the proposal and my business card has my cell phone number on it and I do not recall any messages from you, could be my bad. Re our firm, we do excellent work and are well known throughout the Los Angeles basin and although we obviously did not get back to you promptly it should be known that we have never been so busy and overloaded as we are now with customers who are demanding our company to work for them. Again I am sorry for your experience. Sincerely, Mark Schlaich VP Engineering, Alpha Structural Inc.

Description of Work: I met Alpha Structural for a client. Alpha Structural did an in-depth assessment and bid. The inspection was time consuming and the inspector took all the time needed to answer any and all questions. The level of professionalism was amazing. So far my client has not had the needed work done, but I have advised them that in my estimation, Alpha Structural is the company for the job.

Description of Work: The company sent a man who did an evaluation of the structural integrity of my house. He climbed under the house and inspected the foundation etc. Because he said it looked solid, I did not have to hire the company to do anything. I felt that the company was very honest in their evaluation.

Description of Work: Alpha Structural provided a proper surface drainage system to the existing front drain-line system. They included a new reinforced concrete walkway to run along the side of my home, where a sidewalk is currently missing. Work included a 4" drain-line running underneath the new reinforced concrete to the existing line, with new catch basin drain boxes. Also, an 8' reinforced concrete block wall was installed. Thanks to Mark Schlaich, Rejean Guy, Arturo and Alex, et al for their professional courtesy, information and guidance. Super Job!

Description of Work: We got quotes from them for two jobs. A trench drain in the backyard and replacing grass in our driveway to make room for one more car. |The representative was professional and seemed knowledgeable, but the quotes were very high compared to others. Replacing grass with plain concrete on our driveway was quoted for about $7000. The size of the grass area is slightly larger than the footprint of my minivan. The drain in the backyard cost was about twice that of competing bids.

Description of Work: Contractor hasn't come to the side to evaluate the scope of the work and to provide the quotes. We have not been given a sufficient reason why Alpha Structural, Inc is not interested in $15,000 - $25,000 job. We have hired another contractor.

Response from Alpha Structural, Inc.
Hello [removed member name], I am sorry if there was any confusion. Can you provide me a few additional details so that I can look into it. Did you speak with someone at our office? Are you the homeowner of this property? Once I understand the project you were looking to have done I can explain why Alpha Structural would not do it if it is something that is not within our scope. Regardless, I apologize for lack of clarity and and confusion created because of that. We strive to help all clients. For those that we can't help, or feel we aren't best suited for, we try to help them get connected with an ethical, high quality contractor that can help them. Perhaps you can give me a call when you have a chance? Best, Max Oliva Alpha Structural, Inc. 323-258-5482

Description of Work: We got an estimate from Alpha. I was expecting to be told that I needed all sorts of work to get my 1919 home into sound structural shape. What a surprise when Alpha honestly told me that my house was in great shape structurally and suggested some options if I wanted greater security, but didn't push any immediate work on me. I will use them for sure when I decide to proceed with the work they recommended.
