Description of Work: Whitley Engineering came to examine our home for settlement concerns before we remodeled our master bath. We couldn't have anything structural done without the engineering report. |A very thorough inspection was done, a full report given with suggestions on additional piers needed along with some shims. We were very pleased with the service and the report provided.

JOEL WHITLEY WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. HE TOOK TIME TAKING NECESSARY MEASUREMENTS OF OUR PROPERTY AND FAXED BACK A DETAILED PLAN FOR CORRECTING THE WATER PROBLEM. HE DOES NOT DO THE CORRECTIONS HIMSELF, BUT WILL PROVIDE REFERRALS OF QUALIFIED WATERPROOFERS IF YOU NEED THEM.
Description of Work: JOEL WHITLEY CAME OUT TO GIVE US HIS OPINION OF WHERE OUR WATER DRAINAGE PROBLEM AROUND AND UNDER THE HOUSE WAS COMING FROM, AS WELL AS HIS SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

JOEL DOES THE WORK HIMSELF AND IS VERY DETAILED. HE WILL SHOW YOU EVERYTHING HE FINDS AND TELL YOU WHO TO CALL FOR REPAIR IF YOU ASK. IT''S BETTER TO GET THIS WORK DONE BEFORE YOU PAINT YOUR WALLS, OR YOU COULD BE REPAINTING AGAIN SOON. PLUS YOU COULD AVOID WATER-RELATED STRUCTURE DAMAGE DOWN THE ROAD.
Description of Work: INSPECTED THE ENTIRE SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF HOUSE, WHICH I NEEDED, BECAUSE THERE WERE CRACKS APPEARING AROUND DOOR FRAMES AND NAIL POPS IN WALL. HE ALSO INSPECTED THE WATER DRAINAGE AROUND THE HOUSE, LOOKING FOR ANY SIGNS OF STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. CHECKED ATTIC FOR STRUCTURE, LOOKED IN EVERY ROOM FOR SIGNS OF CRACKS AROUND DOORS OR IN THE PAINT.

OUR LIVING ROOM, DINING ROOM, AND ENTRY FOYER HAD DEVELOPED SEPARATIONS IN THE SHEETROCK OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST TWO YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY FOR US, WE HAD SOME REPAIRS DONE BY OTHER COMPANIES, AT GREAT EXPENSE, PRIOR TO HAVING A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER INSPECT THE WALLS. WHEN MR. WHITLEY CAME OUT, HE TOLD US THAT, BASICALLY, THE REPAIRS HAD ALL BEEN UNNECESSARY. THE PROBLEMS WERE CAUSED BY POOR DRAINAGE IN OUR FRONT YARD, WITH WATER GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE CRAWL SPACE AT THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE. ULTIMATELY, WE NEED TO HAVE OUR FRONT YARD RE-GRADED BEFORE ANY OTHER REPAIRS TO THE WALLS ARE ATTEMPTED. I FEEL THAT MR. WHITLEY IS VERY EFFICIENT AND HONEST--HE IS NOT IN THE REPAIR BUSINESS, AS WERE THE OTHER COMPANIES WE CONSULTED, SO HE HAD NOTHING TO GAIN. I WOULD RECOMMEND HIS COMPANY TO OTHERS.
Description of Work: JOEL WHITLEY, OWNER OF WHITLEY ENGINEERING, MADE AN INSPECTION OF OUR HOUSE BECAUSE WE HAD SEVERAL SETTLEMENT CRACKS IN INTERIOR WALLS.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE THOROUGHNESS AND HONESTY I RECEIVED WITHIN HIS REPORT. HE WAS ABLE TO MEET ME AND PERFORM THE INSPECTION THE DAY AFTER I CALLED. HE WAS EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL.
Description of Work: JOEL CAME OUT AND GAVE ME A STRUCTURAL OPINION ON A HOUSE I AM PLANNING TO PURCHASE. THE INSPECTION THAT WAS PERFORMED ON THE HOUSE ORIGINALLY RAISED SOME CONFLICTING OPINIONS REGARDING THE RECOMMENDATION AND INSTALLATION OF ATLAS PIERS.

JOEL WILL CALL IT AS HE SEES IT! LONG-TERM THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST $200 I EVER SPENT. HE CAME HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY OTHER THE SELLER WAS IN PART DISMISSING. WAS PATIENT AND PROFESSIONAL IN EXPLAINING HIS FINDINGS TO ME AND ANSWERED MY QUESTIONS. PROVIDED THOROUGH WRITTEN REPORT FOR ME TO SUBMIT TO SELLER. HE MADE IT CLEAR TO THE SELLER''S CONTRACTOR THAT HE REPRESENTED ME AND WOULD NOT DISCUSS VARIOUS ASPECTS OF HIS INSPECTION UNTIL SUCH TIME AS I EITHER WALKED AWAY FROM THE TRANSACTION OR APPROVED SUCH DISCUSSION. PERSONS IN THE BUSINESS. HE DID A GREAT JOB FOR ME AND OTHERS I HAVE RECOMMENDED HIM TO. WILL DEFINITELY CALL HIM AGAIN WITH ANY QUESTIONS RELATED TO THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF A POTENTIAL PURCHASE.
Description of Work: HOME PURCHASE INSPECTOR RECOMMENDED A STRUCTURAL INSPECTION BY AN ENGINEER DUE TO SAG IN FLOOR, WALL CRACKS, AND UNSUPPORTED FLOOR JOIST IN CRAWL SPACE. CONTACTED JOEL BASED UPON A RECOMMENDATION. WAS EXCEPTIONALLY RESPONSIVE. MET ME TO CRAWL UNDER, AND WALK THROUGH THE HOUSE. IDENTIFIED VARIOUS STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS
