M. Gillespie & Associates Consulting Engineering

BUYER BEWARE!! Hired this company to do plans for a new septic system in November 2023. As of Feb 27 2025 the only thing I have received from Gillespie was a bill and reminder when I didn't pay within days. I contacted the DOH who said they haven't received or heard anything since June 2024 and NO APPLICATION was ever submitted. Very unprofessional. Won't answer emails, rarely calls back.

Fast and professional

Great experience, fast and accurate thx

Timely and professional

I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience working with Mike Gillespie. It took twice as long as promised for him to send me his report, and that was only after multiple emails and calls to his office. Once he finally sent his report it contained very little useful information and some completely incorrect recommendations (for example, he stated that "LVLs do not come pressure treated for exterior use" which is just false and I have found several suppliers of this exact product). In my initial follow up to the report, he was quick to reply but subsequent questions have so far gone unanswered. In my view, the site visit and report was a complete waste of $2800 and delayed my project by several weeks. I know that the firm is well reviewed (which is why I chose them in the first place) but my experience did not reflect those high ratings.

Excelent service

Mr Gillespie examined my roof rafters and determined that they were the originals on my 55 year old house and had never been re;placed or repaired which was what I had asked him to determine.

Professional and attentive to my concernâ s.

Very professional.

Mr. Gillespie was thorough and offered viable options to remedy issues. His experience in a family company far surpasses regional conglomerates or local practitioners. The company serves the community well

My husband and I are residents of Salt Point, NY and we are building a shed/greenhouse on our property. Our town building inspector is new, undergoing training and was unavailable to inspect the foundation walls and steel reinforcements prior to the concrete pour. The town approved us to use a licensed engineer to inspect in his place the evening before our pour date. We called Mike's office the morning of the pour and his team, Candy, was able to get him in touch with us right away, Mike was out within an hour, inspected and approved our project, with an hour to spare before the pour! He got us the approval certification letter with reference images the same day. Mike got us out of a really time sensitive, stressful situation, and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative of his expertise and professionalism. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mike!

Although my project was quite small in scope, they were immensely helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond.

He came out for the first payment and looked around. So far so good. Now i havnt heard from him for over two weeks. I have sent emails asking when he will be done because he is holding up my schedule. I cant order or hire until i have the plans he is working on.

Drawing delivery was delayed by one week but staff personally deliver at home and explained details. Was able to get town permit. Waiting for parts to start and complete project. Hoping If needed this consulting engineering will guid thru to vet CO too. Staff is very courteous and friendly too. I will recommend anyone to this for their project. Shailesh shah

On time,courtesy, explaining details n time involved

Do not hire this guy. Wish I had looked here for reviews before hiring. The first week of April 2021 Mike came out looked at my project which is a garage renovation. Sent me a proposal and I paid his retainer fee. The next week he sent his architect who took photos and measurements and I gave him the only copy I have of my property survey. Since then, I have had nothing. Mike does not return emails or phone calls. The rare occasion that I have reached him by phone he makes promises such as **I will have something for you tomorrow** and then I do not hear from him again. It is near the end of June now and I have nothing for my money!

Do not hire. Does not return calls. Took 4 month to complete plans, still waiting. Overcharged by $2000 and had to be corrected. We paid on time every time and did not receive services. Does not return email, does not return calls. Did not attend a meeting in his office... left me in the office to wait for 25 minutes for an appointment and then had his secretary cancel it on me. Went to meet the next week and he was still late. Do not hire.

Very poor workmanship. Very unprofessional and overpriced.

I got M. Gillespie and Associates contact from HomeAdvisor. He came to our home to do the inspection on October 13th and we paid Mike Gillespie over $870 on that day. He promised to have a written report ready within 5 business days. He cashed the check 1 day after but I still have not received my report. He has not provided the work he was paid for. And from reading reviews on this site as well, it seems like I am not the only one.

I was matched with M. Gillespie & Associates. On October 5th. I paid Mike Gillespie at over $850. He initially promised to have a written report ready within 5 business days. Deadline after deadline, promise after promise, and Mike have not produced anything. He will not return my calls. He will not return emails. He has not provided the work he was paid for. And from reading reviews on this site as well, it seems like I am not the only one. By all measures, Mike Gillespie seems to be trading in his career as a licensed engineer for that of a liar.

I paid this guy 850.00 for an analysis of my basement and never got a written report, and he has not been returning my calls.

He was supposed to draw me a sketch so I can give it to my contractor, I have not received the drawing, paid him in full.

I contracted with the firm to perform a structural inspection on a house I planned to purchase-he took the money-but has not produced the report or drawing, DO NOT HIRE HIM

really good job
