"They were on time and did the job pretty quickly. After an hour that they finished the work, it rained. Until now, it's still raining so I can't say much about the quality yet. Their work was under warranty so I'll just call them if needed."

"The worst business I have EVER had the displeasure of working with. I have waited a long time to write a review to ensure I had all of the facts and would be less emotional in my statement. Originally they came out, quoted us a price for our basement and our garage. We signed the contract electronically with the representative. The first mistake they made was never sending us a copy of the contract, or emailing it to us. Next they came out and did our basement, which was an awful experience as well. They were rude, uncaring, and unprofessional. They left our back door open for the entire duration they were here (4-6ish hours) even though we repeatedly told them we had cats, they did not care (even though it was in winter/late fall and was cold as well). They did not finish the work, stating that the representative was wrong and they could not do it. Then they left a huge mess in our basement that they never cleaned up. Lastly they told us that the garage work was “impossible” and they had no clue as to why the representative would say that they could do it. Well they gave us a bill for that day, and processed it through Greensky. They billed us for ALL of the work, including the garage that they never did. Next the manager kept ignoring my husbands phone calls/texts, for 2-3 months. Finally I had enough and called the number several times until I got above him and made a report. Suddenly he could call me back and discuss things over! I was livid that they had been ignoring us, so he finally scheduled a follow up appointment to finish our basement. He also told us not to worry about the bill for now, since it didn’t take effect until after ALL of the work is done. Yet Greensky continued to hound me for 1-2 months. Finally they get out to finish the work (the second crew was very polite, cleaned up after themselves, kept the door shut, they were fantastic!). Well all the work is done, should be fine right? Wrong! Greensky is charging me interest on a plan that Foundation Recovery Systems said was a 5 year interest free plan! So I contact Greensky, they have no idea why the representative would offer that since they don’t even have that plan option. Naturally I look for the contract I signed…. Oh wait! They never gave it to us at all! I have hounded and they never gave us the signed copy! So I have to fight with Foundation Recovery Systems, I put in a formal complaint with Greensky about their business. Finally Foundation Recovery Systems is willing to work with me, however I need to remove my legal complaint or they won’t do anything for me at all. A very underhanded blackmail, if I say so myself. Now lastly, we have contacted them roughly 1 year and about 4-5 months after all the work was done. They told us they would need to come out every year to readjust the beam, they said it was a lifetime warranty and readjustment was free…. I’m sure you see where I’m going with this, another lie. It’s $240 each time, but don’t worry! They’ll waive the fee this one time because of their mistake. Everything they’ve done is a mistake and I waited a very long time to write this review out of fear of retaliation. (Since they’re okay with blackmailing people to remove complaints). I can NOT recommend this garbage dump of a company to anybody, I have told everybody I know to stay clear and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. Beware of these scammers! Lord only knows what else they will do at the readjustment appointment, since this review is sure to upset them very much. However I implore them to try underhanded tactics again, I will not be fooled as easily every again. 0/10"

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.
