Level Engineering- CO

n/a

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!

Scott was very responsive. Had my report to me as promised. Professional in every way. Note that there are two prices: one for verbal inspection and one for written inspection. Greatly appreciate his service.

Scott was a great guy who went out of his way to make sure our project was done on time and done well. Really appreciated his knowledge, experience, and assistance. Will definitely hire him again.

Scott listened to our concerns and what we wanted and came up with a great plan. Easy to work with, knowledgeable. Maybe a bit pricey, but worth it to have a professionally designed structural floor.

Scott was really easy to work with, showed up early and gave us a great plan for how to fix the issue. I felt like the price was a little high for the amount of work done, but having the piece of mind of an expert and a professionally designed plan was worth it. We ended up doing the work ourselves, but Scott said he would be available for any questions which was nice.

Scott came out very quickly, and he was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He gave estimates for repairs that were within a wide range, which made me feel like there were several ways to address the issue, depending on an individual's level of comfort. I would definitely recommend Scott for structural issues.

On time & friendly!

He analyzed my sagging porch roof, determined that a supporting post had sunk several inches over time, and drew up a plan to jack up the beam, shim the post and attach metal brackets to brace the post and beam. Very nice solution at a fair price.

They were on time and offered ideas that I never would have thought of - and neither did some of the contractors that looked at the job!

Hired them to take a look at a house we were considering purchasing. they were very prompt with their service and worked with my schedule (i was on a time crunch and they came asap). they also completed the write up over the weekend for me, as i needed it by a Monday and it was a Friday. Really great service and i would totally recommend/hire again.

Fast response. Worked around my schedule. Provided me with everything I needed to know. Explained my issues in a easy way. Great value and saved me a lot of time and energy.

Scott was great, receptive, professional and responsive!

Scott came out and not only assessed the specific request regarding opening a load bearing wall for my kitchen remodel, but also provided insights into additional items that I probably should take under advisement and address. Scott provided a clear explanation of the situation, what was happening and a general approach regarding how to go about resolving the issues.

We were concerned about a sunken slab in our family room and hired Scott to evaluate this and check our foundation for any issues that might need to be addressed. He explained to us the probable reason for the sinking and steered us to the appropriate course of action for repair.

Scott arrived on time, actually 20mins. early, did a through evaluation, made recommendation as to appropriate remedies, and suggested measures to help prevent future problems.

Very professional delivered structural drawings so we could continue on with the renovation immediately.

Very professional! He showed up on time and delivered exactly what we needed for our remodel.

Scott was very knowledgable and professional. He went out of his way to work with my schedule and he was right on time. Thank you!

They were great
