StructuralMD

The team was professional and knowledgeable. Everything was done within a day and a half and all was cleaned up in the end.

Elizabeth at the office scheduled George to come out for the inspection. Both were very professional. Received a call from George when he was running a tiny 10 minutes behind. Very courteous. The advice on the fix was just what I needed and the letter to the potential buyer regarding the house settling and the structural integrity being intact helped me sell the house

They were very good and professional. I was happy. They were very responsive and I felt they knew what they were doing.

We were in the middle of a major renovation and our contractor, for structural reasons, had to place a pole towards the entrance of our home in our living room . He told us it would most likely be $8000.00 to remove it. We were very frustrated because we didn't have the money to remove the pole. A friend had recommended Lallygone. We called and they were EXTREMELY responsive and professional and did the job immediately. We were thrilled when George came to estimate the job and it was less than half of what our contractor said it would be!!! His team was polite, courteous, super clean and did an impeccable job. I would absolutely recommend Lallygone to anyone!

Watch out! Do not use this company as they will put your structure at risk. George Nader the owner is a con artist. He came to my home in NY this March, presented himself as a NYS licensed engineer and lied about schedule, plans, permits, licenses throughout our project. Eventually his team carried out the work without a permit or license, the work was not supervised by an engineer and eventually didn't pass our town's building department inspection. They didn't build footings under load bearing posts, rested beams on partial support, didn't block posts where necessary and caused massive delays to our project. In the end we had to remove their posts, build footings, add blocking, add additional posts, hire a third party engineer to approve the safety of the structure after his recommendations were implemented and do another building department inspection. Do not assume that by removing a post or a wall this company does great service. They undermine the structural integrity of your structure! George Nader will attack this review like he has done on the multiple bad reviews on other sites. Be warned!

We called Larry and he came right over and told us what was wrong and what needed to be corrected. He is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely caring. A+++

It was fantastic! George and Larry know their stuff. The quality of their work is amazing. Their crews are so knowledgeable and I had a very pleasant experience working with both. I highly recommend them to everyone I know that needs their services. Interviewed so many companies and was so thankful that I found them.

Extremely well. George and Larry were engaged during the whole project. When issues arose, we discussed possible solutions. The final bill was the same as the initial estimate.

The system was installed in a week and worked flawlessly until the time that we sold our shore home. The home was purchased by an engineer who told us that the deciding factor in he and his wife purchasing our home, was the thought and engineering behind the system. Once completed, we were the only ones in our neighborhood that did not have a problem with water. Larry Stoll made it happen when other companies appeared baffled at our problem.

We were in the final stages of an already difficult basement remodel (broken sewer pipe) when, after a moderate rain, we awoke to two inches of water in the basement. Our re-modeler, Better Basements, called Larry Stoll. Larry dropped everything to inspect my job. He carefully explained why we were getting water, what to do about it and what the remediation (he taught me big words too) would cost. His presentation was thorough, enthusiastic and easy to understand. I was surprised to hear him say that he would stop the job he was on and take care of our basement (by then a swimming pool). His team showed up the next morning and started work. I was amazed at how qiuckly and efficiently they moved the walls (yes my walls were already up) squeezed behind them and jack hammered the trough, laid the gravel and the pipe. We needed a dry well installed too and they handled it with no problem. It's been nearly two years and I couldn't be happier with the job. This kind of quality, honest businessman is what we need more of in this world. Thanks Larry for the rescue, a great job and caring about your customers.

Larry's team were very thorough and did a fantastic job of turning a damp unuseful basement into a room that we could confidently finish and use. The work was done quickly and with very little mess. I was very impressed with the workmanship. Larry is incredibly knowledgeable and inspected our entire property before advising on a suitable solution. He is very personable and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend as the client would be in very safe hands.

George came by and gave me price estimates as we walked the house. After a few days, he sent me a formal proposal and we scheduled the work during thanksgiving weekend. The crew was great, knew what they were doing and instead of asking every little question they got the job done.

It went very well. Arrived when they said they would and completed on time. Cleaned up after the work was done.

Prompt, courteous and professional. Larry explained exactly what he was doing and what he was looking for throughout the inspection. I learned a lot from him during the visit. He made a structural inspection a very pleasant experience. Elizabeth who set it all up was a great communicator – quick to respond and easy to deal with. I would recommend them highly to anyone and I will certainly go to them first if I need any similar services in the future. Wonderful experience.

George came and provided a quote. They came on the scheduled day and time. Put up protective barriers, removed the structure and cleaned up really nicely. They did a great job! If had know this would have been so easy, I would have had it done years ago! Team was very professional! Highly recommended!

George was very thorough with the inspection and clearly explained the root cause of the issue as well as corrective actions required to fix it.

I had contacted StructuralMD as I had a sagging floor in my kitchen and I was worried that it would sag more and cause more damage. I had contacted some home improvement guys who had advised putting smart jacks and jacking up the floor.All of them used aggressive sales tactics trying to scare me into buying their services/products.However I thought of showing it to a structural engineer. Larry came on time and had a careful look at the beam and suggested that it wasnot going to sag any more.He advised not to waste money trying to support it .He also said that jacking up the floor will do more harm than good as it would mess up the doors nearby. He also inspected entire house for structural defects and explained everything in great detail. The house was built in 70s and certain rooms were added in 2001 and some more additions were done later by the previous owner. Larry could easily tell that.You could say he is very experienced and knowledgable. The best part is that he did not try to convince me into spending money for things that were not needed to be done,although their sister company does home improvements. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get a structural inspection done.

I initially reached out to LallyGone's StructuredMD for $495 structured Inspection package while I was buying a house. One of the engineers Larry came to inspect the house and he did a great job in explaining what went wrong. In front of me, my wife and realtor, he gave me a quote of 2200 and 600 for repair of each crack between addition and the original house. I told the seller that it will be $2800 for the total repair. Interestingly, the cost estimates on structural report came out at 4400 instead of 2800. Larry's email was not provided so I asked George, but George did not reply to any of my email on why the cost has changed. Seller was freaked out by $1600 increase and refused to provide any credit toward repairs. Waste of $495. Thank god my realtor gave me 500 credit for structural inspection out of her commission so I let this one go. After the house closed, I didn't want to waste another time or money on structural inspection of the house so I ended up calling Lallygone again. Larry said he couldn't remember 2800 quote but decided to give me a little discount on 4400 and make it 3500. It look Larry almost a week to get back to me on the paperwork and I had to be the one calling him throughout the whole week. He kept on saying he was busy. Finally after two weeks we finally got the structural issue remediated. They came and worked hard throughout the entire day in the midst of rain and I was impressed that this 3 day job was completed within a day. They found out that house didn't even have a connection underneath so they added a brand new beam. Everything was cleaned and it was all done properly so that repaired wall can just be painted over. Larry and George finally actively reached out to me when it came the time to make payment and time to write a review. I would personally want to give F for poor communication and deceptive pricing how 2800 became 4400 but overall they got the job done professionally and always responded professionally IF THEY happened to pick up the call. I would definitely use them again one more time primarily due to their work quality and not due to their communication. If you do hear any quote from Larry or George, I would have him give you a written quote or write it down so that it doesn't magically increase again. I hope this is as objective it can get since it was a mixed quality transaction. They are busy and was not perfect but in the end tried hard to make up for what they promised. I give them more credit for that.

Inspection was relaxed and conversational, which was fine until we weren't provided the followup price quote and detailed findings document. Disappointing. We got what we wanted, an understanding of our current situation but we would have likely moved forward with 2 floor levellings (~7k) if he had followed up. He also took several personal calls during his 20 minutes in our home b/c his wife was out of town. We excused it at the time, but now kind of wish we were more particular.

We're going with another contractor. He's very nice but I don't think he was as thorough as the other contractors we had over. We found another contractor that was more thorough so we didn't hire them for further work. He was responsive.

It went GREAT! Extremely responsive, easy to work with, about 3 weeks from the first call to the removed column and freedom. Professional attitudes, from everyone involved. I will look for reasons to work with lallygone again in the future.

When looking to buy a house in Kinnelon, we discovered a horizontal crack in the foundation and a slightly bowed wall during the normal home inspections. We were then advised to retain the services of a structural engineer before continuing with the pruchase. We found Lallygone on Angie's list and because of their glowing reviews, purchased an inspection package. We were soon contacted by Elizabeth at Lallygone, LLC, and we were able to quickly and efficiently schedule a structural inspection of the home we were looking to purchase. Larry Stoll, the structural specialist arrived on time and performed a thorough multi-hour of the structural aspects of the home from the basement through the upper floors. He went through every last detail, pointing out red flags, potential causes, and the consequential effects of the problems in the basement foundation. He ran moisture readings, took photographs, and made more measurements and level-inspections than I could count. He was able to zero in on the most significant problems, expanded upon some other areas that we had not anticipated, and ultimately gave us the information we needed to go back to the sellers with the full scope of the issues at hand. After presenting those finding to the sellers and making a new offer, Lallygone even worked with us to put together a potential repair/financing scenario that would have allowed both the sellers and us (the buyers) an extremely beneficial situation in terms of financial risk and out of pocket costs. They had no reason to offer this to us besides great customer service and an honest effort ot provide quality services. Unfortunately, we had to terminate the contract on the purchase of the home because the sellers were unwilling to budge to their own demise, but without Lallygone and their help, we may have found ourselves in a very serious financial situation with a home that could have cost us years on our lives. If anyone reads this in regard to 11 Cedar Trail in Kinnelon, NJ ? be aware that the house has serious foundational problems. I would never hesitate to recommend this company or the people that work for them. They were true professionals. Though I cannot comment on their actual work since we never got to that point, I can vouch for their knowledge and business practices, as well as their ability to communicate quickly and efficiently ? even on nights and weekends when I never would have expected them to be so accommodating.

Initial review has been retracted pending further action by Lallygone.

Larry came over and took out his laser level and it was impressive as to how it's measured. Said the header was fine and everything was within tolerance. Actually took the time to check the door, said there was enough room to lower it and showed me how to. He didn't have to do that. Great customer service. Door now slides perfectly. Some businesses will sell you something that you don't need. LallyGone does not work that way. There was no charge at all. Very impressive. Between the knowledge, professionalism and honesty...you can't go wrong with LallyGone. I highly recommend.!!!

We just bought the home and were advised to repair the garage fairly immediately due to structural issues (think of a pentagon! Walls were bowing). Larry, Jerry and the team arrived on time and began working within seconds. Seriously, the hardest working crew I've ever seen. For at least six to eight hours for four days, they drilled, hammered, jacked up the roof, poured concrete, etc. so that our garage could be structurally sound ensuring that it would be safe for our family (and more importantly to our kids, their bikes)! Throughout the process, they explained what they were doing, showed us how they were strengthening the walls and took great care with our property (we didn't even need to be home and they cleaned up every day). In fact, I didn't even know that they were done until I went to check on them and saw an immaculate garage (cleaned, all debris, tools, etc. removed). What a relief. The idea that the garage could collapse and either hurt us or our neighbors was daunting. Within four days, all of those concerns were gone and we feel like our home is complete. Thanks George, Elizabeth, Larry, Jerry and the team!!
