Mr.Pat initially when i took appointment said he can do the drawings for us. Once he came he took measurements etc , and wasted 1.5 hours of time, but when asked to do drawings, he started saying, i have 6 weeks work etc etc, basically he looks like he is not someone who will draw the diagrams. Anyway at the end he took money for 3 hours , though including travel time, it was only 2 hours and 20 minutes. He took money for 40 extra minutes, saying if we ever call back for some suggestion, if we don't call he will refund. We never called him for suggestions , and asked for refund, although he sounded like he didn't wanted to give it back, still said i will mail it. He ever mailed it, i tried to follow up, still he says I mailed it, but we never got it, I even checked in post office as he rudely gave reply "I mailed it on July 7. call the post office". Summary: Guy is cheap and greedy, he is not for any serious jobs, even county inspector will give suggestions that this guy gives. Don't waste your money calling him if you want drawings done.

It was a pleasure to work with Pat on this one. Everything was smooth from A to Z. He does charge travel time, but he is local to my house, so it was not bad at all. Pat knew exactly what he was talking about, and even took the time to answer some additional questions I had about some cracks in the basement floor. I would definitely call him again if the need arises. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Inspected a wall for removal. Pat inspected the wall to determine if it was a load bearing wall and if so, provide information on how to proceed. The wall was determined to be a non-load bearing wall.

Pat Sweeney is very friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. He was able to assess our situation and provide us a diagram of the necessary repair in a matter of just a couple hours. He is perfect for small jobs like this, and his price was incredibly reasonable. We are grateful that he performs this type of "small potatoes" work that no one else is interested in.
Description of Work: Evaluated a portion of the roof support which a home inspection flagged as possibly inadequate. Created a diagram indicating what exactly should be done by a contractor to fix the issue.

He looked at the floors and basement beams and determined that the structure was fine but I could fix it if I dont like the way the floors look.
Description of Work: He was really nice and arrived on time. He examined my dipping floors and determined that there was no structural issues with them. He also told me how to fix them if I wanted to.

I was very happy with Pat's service and his expertise.
Description of Work: Pat came out and examined crack in foundation wall. Took some measurements that revealed the wall was bowing out slightly. After removing some plaster from wall, he discovered that part of the wall was not cinder block but gravel and dirt. He suggested a plan to repair the wall.
