Elmore & Associates Structural Engineering PLLC

Save your money and look elsewhere. Dave and Kim are not concerned about your best interest. You will spend at least 500 and have nothing to show for it. Lots of empty promises and miscommunication. If I save 1 person money this review is worth it.

We took his advice and tore down the structure built with railroad ties and not try to make it right.

David Elmore is very good at what he does and is very responsive to the needs of a project. So far I have only had him out to look at site but when the time comes to move forward with structural improvements I will use his services. He is very mindful of his time and cost to his customer and upfront about those costs.

The engineered beam was fine, but the wall will require replacement using engineered specifications. This will require an additional topographical survey.

Provided with options and costs to remedy defects found from prior fixes performed by previous homeowner. Good, clear options and discussions ensued.

He offered a phone consultation. After chatting with him we were kind of in a holding pattern until the builder of our home had his own engineer come out. We may still be in need of outside engineering services and if so will definitely be calling Elmore Associates. We appreciated his honestly and time and direction.

Great! Very thorough. Provided written report.

I was very happy with the work done my Mr. Elmore. He came across as very knowledgeable as well as very thorough and careful. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of structural engineering services and will use him in the future should I need this type of help again.

David & Kim showed up promptly & diagnosed the problem. It turned out to be much more minor than I had expected. They were prompt, professional and very easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

They showed up on time, in fact, a few minutes early. They listened to all of the issues and went through each room taking pictures and measuring. After completing the inside, they went underneath the house to check things out. The end result was there are some structural issues, but no code violations although our builder pushed the limits on some things. Elmore and Associates gave me a very thorough write up on what they found and we have since hired someone to make the suggested changes. In the end, with their invoice and the work we are having completed, they saved us almost 15K! They are completely professional, honest folks and I will be using them again when we move to either check the pre-existing structure or to help us plan the structural support if we build a new home.

Due to Mr. Elmore's expertise, his meticulous approach to his work and his willingness to go the extra mile for his clients, a potentially very dangerous problem was finally fixed to our satisfaction, and we were able to buy the house.

I had two jobs for them. We are doing some kitchen remodel and I needed to have some structural change. Their engineer advised on changes and he also checked up on another contractor to make sure they did it correctly. He was excellent, knowledgeable and very responsive.

It did not go well. The engineer was unwilling to commit himself as to whether he judged the wall to be structurally sound as it stood. He was also unwilling to commit himself as to whether his recommendation for excavation, followed by replacement of existing waterproofing material as well as replacement of gravel-encased foundation drains, were likely to mitigate any potential future problems. Try as we might, we could not elicit straightforward answers to straightforward questions.

Excellent. Performed a detailed and thorough investigation and told us how to resolve the issues. Arrived on time. Professional and courteous.

He gave us several options, then left it up to us to decide how much to do, without pressure from him. He was willing to do as much or as little as we wished him to do. He was courteous and pleasant.

It was great. He was very helpful and he explained things well and complete. He put levels and took pictures. The work was an A rating but the price was high. He’s very professional and very excellent. They could not believe what the home inspection company said about my walls leaning in. It cost me $800 to prove that this other company was crazy.

Mr. Elmore came out and took some pictures, and performed an evaluation. The evaluation made sense and it was well prepared. There are no Professional Engineers that do residential work, Mr. Elmore was the only one I could find. And I am grateful that he doesn't use this to his advantage to charge ridiculous prices, he was in fact very open with his pricing. The problem is that he has to do significant travel and that cost gets passed on to the customer. Also, no structural engineer is going to give you written guarantees. Mr. Elmore can perform some load calculations and is knowledgeable of industry standards, but nothing in the reports for a residence are going to be overly technical. You're basically paying for any kind of paperwork from someone with a P.E. after their name. But no engineer is going to make guarantees or promises regarding a home's structure, so the report will not be definitive. This is not to say Mr. Elmore isn't a good engineer, I just write this to help potential clients manage expectations. I've seen this in the housing industry multiple times. Home inspectors will flag a bunch of things that re not really problems, and say they 'may be a problem, advise engineer to evaluate'. Then homebuyers freak out and demand an engineer's report.. The engineer will evaluate it and say it 'probably isn't a problem', which is ambiguous but they don't want to be liable if anything actually does fail.

He helped us understand what was happening with our house. He researched and gave us a very detailed report that explained the situation and gave us recommended solutions

Mr. Elmore was very helpful and professional. I could tell that he knew what he was doing and we were relieved that he could help us. Our previous roofer was a nightmare!!

He was right on time and completely professional. I would not hesitate to contact him in the future if the need arises.

Elmore & Associates Structural Engineering PLLC was fine. I was not here but my husband said it was a fine experience. He was professional. We had a crack on the wall. The process was long enough. It could have been longer. He did his work as far as what a structural engineer does. I think he was very knowledgeable and courteous.

He is a a structural engineer. I wanted professional advice on what he thought of my problem. He gave me a report that would certify, I guess he's licensed by the state to do so.

David arrived on time, was very professional and personable. He inspected the house from top to bottom and gave an honest assessment of the building. Although his opinion was not what I wanted to hear, he saved me a considerable amount of money and heartache. I would highly recommend him as he is honest, thorough and very knowledgeable.

It went fine. We set up an appointment, he came out twice, and he his knowledge met expectations.

Mr.Ellmore was very professional and provided information in a format that was understandable. He not only explained things to me but showed me where the deficiences were. He provided a written report for my records.
