Kiro Engineering LLC

Nice job, arrive on time, answer the questions promptly. Very helpful

Mina was great--pointed me to the type of contractor I actually needed to hire first and gave some helpful info about my house. Didn't charge me!

Advised what we need to move forward. Came out quickly. I will be using if we get zoning approval

Excellent service! Mina conducted a structural inspection for a home my wife and I were considering buying and provided an exceptionally thorough report. When our initial home inspection revealed some concerning foundation cracks, Mina’s expertise was invaluable in assessing the issue and outlining the necessary repairs. He was professional, highly competent, and responsive, even on a tight timeline. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!

My appointment was very informative and well explained. The inspection was thorough nothing got overlooked. I would recommend Kiro Engineering to anyone who's on the fence about any structural problems this company is the way to go! Also very accommodating to the time crunch I was on. I’m so thankful

Mina is the most customer oriented person I have seen regarding home services. He always communicates and keeps you updated regarding appointments and changes in schedules, if any. He was able to make it to my appointment even though he met with a minor accident and it could have been easily rescheduled. Highly knowledgeable and honest and makes recommendations where required. He explains clearly if the observation made was minor, or major concern and how it can be rectified. He is very patient and answers any questions during inspection. I hired him to assess the work done by a contractor and he told me there were many things that were not needed to repair by the contractor but they did for getting money. Had I hired him before the work, I would have saved thousands of dollars. I highly recommend him before doing any major structural work so you can get an expert opinion and if the work /charges by contractor is required or they are doing to just get money. We get stressed and panicked when it comes to structural work, so spending few hundred dollars for an expert inspection before doing the work may save a lot of money.

I hired Kiro to do a structural assessment of my house. Mina listened to all my concerns, took time to explain everything, and told me what I could fix myself versus hiring a contractor. He also gave me a heads up about some expensive solutions that I didn’t need, but might be recommended by contractors. He offered to answer any questions I have down the road, and review any work done via photo. Overall great experience!

Engineer was very professional and very precise with inspection of the structure of the building. He provided enough information verbally to understand what was going on and what was needed, also a well written report for the issue.

Highly recommend. Extremely informative, professional, quick and very kind!

Mina is extremely knowledgeable, clear, patient, and upfront. I never hired a structural engineer before and was feeling intimidated by the process. Kiro Engineering understood my issues and home renovation desires and provided me several solutions to make sure the result was safe and properly executed. Through conversation it was clear that Kiro is equally at home dealing with a homeowner like myself as well as very high end extensive and commercial projects. I can’t recommend Kiro enough for any structural engineering projects.

We are extremely pleased with the engineering survey Kiro did of our home. Mina was thorough and eager to explain in great detail all of the engineering findings. We would highly recommend his services to one and all.

Mina and his team worked with me through tons of questions and requests. They were patient, up front, worked with me to get everything I needed, and the price is the absolute best. Highly recommend.

Mina did a great job! A foundation company said our house is sinking and will cost $30,000 to fix the issue. Someone told us to first call a structural engineer to see if it’s true. We called Mina and he told us it’s a minor issue and there’s nothing to worry about. Thank you Mina. You saved us $30,000!

Mina did an excellent job. He explained everything in detail and that I could understand. He is very courteous and professional. If I needed him again, I would not call anyone else. He's top notch!

Very pleased with Kiro Engineer's quality and responsiveness. Mina was flexible with our schedule. He answered all questions thoroughly, very professional and detailed - which we appreciated. Highly recommend

We were very happy with Mina. He was professional and knowledgeable. We would definitely use his services again.

Mina is amazing! We have completed 4 different types of inspections on our possible new home -- and Mina has provided us with the best experience. 1. Patience and Care: As first time buyers, we feel very new to the process. With other inspectors, I often felt like my questions were irritating the inspector. Not with Mina. Mina spent time to walk around the exterior and interior of the house with us while thoroughly explaining why the issues arose, the different methods of rectifying the issues, and the costs that come with each method of repair. 2. Honesty: When we hired Mina, we felt like he was there for our best interest. Everyone else in the home buying process - the seller, the realtor, the possible contractor - has a vested interest in the buyer making the biggest purchase of his/her life. It is so essential and helpful during this time to have an experienced structural engineer like Mina at your side. Mina was not interested in referring us to contractors that would find needless work for us to do. If you are a buyer and you feel lost about the quality of your biggest possible investment, Mina will give the honesty you need. 3. Promptness Mina has been the most prompt inspector we have gone through during this process. He worked us into his schedule and sent us the report after 1 day so that we could meet the seller's deadline. 4. Quality Service Mina has told us to contact him at any point in time if we need additional advice. If we need a contractor in the future, Mina has offered to look over the contractor's plans. If we need to okay a specific material, Mina has offered for us to reach out to him and double check if the materials are up to standards. We will most definitely continue to seek counsel from Mina if we end up purchasing this home. Give yourself the peace of mind of hiring a structural engineer like Mina!

We hired Mina to do a complete assessment of our new home. During the initial home inspection, we had noticed several stairstep cracks in the basement walls, and had recently also been noticing cracks above the door frames in the plaster. As we are certainly not experts in structural engineering, and our google research was making us fear that something could be substantially wrong with the structural integrity of our home— we hired Mina to do a walk-through from top to bottom and let us know what we were dealing with. We honestly expected to hear that it was going to require a $20,000+fix, but like other reviewers have commented, Mina spent a substantial amount of time patiently explaining to us each subsection of our home and what we were seeing. Thankfully, there was nothing that was majorly wrong and couldn’t be easily fixed. We were extremely impressed with the amount of time that Mina spent with us (greater than two hours) as he carefully and patiently walked us through what he was seeing as well as all of our follow-up questions. He also shared context about what we could expect in terms of prices from other contractors, explained what they should do to fix it, and even shared what we would want to steer away from in terms of fixes that could be quoted to us. In short, he educated us as the buyer that would be then dealing with additional contractors. Mina is a kind, well-educated professional and we would absolutely do business with him him. Thank you, Mina, for putting our minds at ease in our new home.

Mina was absolutely wonderful. He was thorough, patient, highly knowledgeable, and extremely informative. I showed him every crack and issue in my home and he explained the what and why behind it. He even saved us from having expensive, unnecessary work done in our basement by identifying the actual cause of our problem AND he helped with a mold issue. Will always rely on his services going forward.

Mina was great! Very thorough and explained everything to me along the way. Report was thorough and he came back out to check the repairs after the work was completed.

Mina was very fair and knowledgeable about our options and was able to help us on extremely short notice. Would definitely recommend and hire him again.

Very comprehensive examination by Mina that included cost savings recommendations and options. He is a very honorable and forthright businessman who gave me solid information and explanations of what needed to be done and what didn't. I had received conflicting reports from contractors that were going to charge me 20K to 45K. Mina helped me save over 40K. He is professional, kind and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and comprehensively and was a pleasure to deal with!

Mina was friendly and very professional. He addressed all structural issues and gave great, detailed advice. I highly recommend Kiro Engineering.

Mina came out to assess some cracks in our basement wall. I can’t say enough about how thorough and professional he was. After determining that the wall didn’t require any action at this time, he inspected the rest of the basement and pointed out some areas of concern. He kindly followed up with an email detailing how repairs should be done. I would highly recommend Kiro Engineering.

We hired this company in the context of buying a home because the home inspector found some wall and foundation cracks. Overall, the service and the insights provided by structural engineer Mina were absolutely fantastic while the price was very reasonable in comparison to other quotes we obtained. Arranging a site visit and having an initial discussion about the problem on the phone was an easy and friendly experience. On site the engineer inspected the cracks and potential other structural issues very thoroughly, explained the underlying reasons in great detail and also provided advice and cost estimates on how to fix it. Luckily it turned out that the cracks do not represent significant structural damage and can be fixed fairly easily. This was a big relief for us and gave us the peace of mind we were looking for. Moreover, the engineer gave us lots of tips on how to keep the home in good shape going forward. Overall we highly recommend this company, Mina absolutely deserves the highest rating.
