Mr. Ward was very easy to work with. He was thorough when going through my home, and answered all of my questions. I have already recommended him to people I know, and would not hesitate to use him again in the future.
Description of Work: Mr. Ward came and viewed areas in my house where I had trouble with cracking plaster. He also went through my basement with me and gave advice on areas where we had water seepage.

This is an example of an informal Site Visit/ Initial Consultation to take a first look at structural and foundation concerns with our clients. Depending on the conditions observed and the needs of our clients, we can offer a full range of follow-up services including field investigations, analysis, detailed studies, professional reports, construction drawings, and engineering documents.

The insurance company agreed to some of the issues raised.

Response from Structural Elements LLC
The service provided in this case illustrates our Site Visit Consultation, which includes an informal inspection and off-the-record discussion of the Client's structural concerns. In this instance, our Client was handling his own insurance claims process and sought our opinion and insight on certain issues. With our input, he was better able to successfully resolve some of the issues with his insurance company. As noted in the review, we are very thorough in what we do - even for an intial, informal consultation.

I contacted this firm with some significant questions about a home I was considering purchasing--primarily about issues concerning the crawl space of the home. I had very little time to make some major decisions about the property. On very short notice, Bo Ward, P.E., the principal of Structural Elements, made arrangements meet with me on his day off--which was also a major holiday. Needless to say, I was surprised and incredibly grateful that he was willing to make the time for me. He spent several hours looking over the scope of the problem, took several photos, and prepared a high-quality report, which was very helpful to me in taking next steps. In many years of hiring various professionals to undertake different tasks, Mr. Ward's professionalism, punctuality, thoroughness, expertise, honesty, and simple willingness to be helpful truly stand out. He is great at what he does and has impeccable character. I would highly recommend Mr. Ward and his firm. He did not do a design project for me, but I am hopeful that if I am ever constructing a home from scratch that he will be available to work on the project.
Description of Work: Examined crawl space underneath home. Looked at structural and foundation issues, floor framing system including floor joists, and floor beams. Took photographs. Prepared written report.
