"Tyrell did an excellent job correcting the mistakeS of the people who installed my basement waterproofing equipment. There was a terrible rotten egg smell and that's gone now. Tyrell cleaned up after himself, if any water spilled he made sure to vacuum it up and to dispose of everything in the proper place."

"Horrible sloppy work! Don came out and told me I needed a new sump pump because Radon was run into my current sump pump. Told me the sump pump he installed would drain outside into my drain spout. I approved work and when sump pump was installed they did not run it where they stated because the wall was thick concrete (should have known before). As a result they ran the pipes from the sump pump in the air and drilled a hole through the outside of my house. They did not secure the pipes properly and did not use the proper joints. Loud banging noise kept me and my neighbors up all night! Don came back out and agreed job was sloppy and he would fix it. Suggested running pipes from new sump pump into my current sump pump that he previously said we couldn't use!!! I pointed out to him that workers did not use the negative air which was promised, hence my basement was covered in dust, pipes were dangling, and outside stone landscaping and wall were in disorder from worker trying to drill through foundation wall. Pipes are now run across ground (eye sore), joints are still wrong and leaked. I was told I would have money refunded which I have been pursuing for over 2 months. Don, owner is rude, arrogant and hot headed! So much more went wrong!"

Structural engineering services FAQs
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250 per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
