Description of Work: Assessed my foundation and cracks in external walls. Took measurements to determine how much change in elevation was in the level of the foundation. Gave me suggestions on things that I could do to help prevent foundation failure. They provided a written evaluation about 3 weeks after the evaluation was complete. Have already implemented two of the suggested fixes that were suggested.

Description of Work: The engineer arrived right on time and after I signed all the legal papers he started his tour around the house. He asked some questions along the way and had me assist in some of the elevation readings around the house. He was very thorough looking in each room and the attic. At the end of the inspection he said it would be a few days to get the report out to me and it would come in my email on a PDF. | |I followed up on the 31st thinking I would have the report by then and it did come on April 2nd. Again the inspector was professional and courteous. I would suggest anyone thinking they need foundation work to invest the $425 in a second opinion.

Description of Work: I was worried about my foundation due to cracks in the foundation, walls, and brick veneer. One of their structural engineers came and inspected everything. My foundation was found to be structurally sound. Saved me at least $40,000 as that was what a foundation repairman said it would probably cost to repair (without even coming out to look at the foundation.)

In their detailed report to me, they discussed the observations for the exterior and the interior.

Description of Work: "I called several times. I left a voice mail twice. Talked with an assistant the third time. The assistant confirmed she had my name and phone number and the engineer would call me back shortly. They never called me back. |At that point I did not move forward with this supplier. Very poor customer service. "

Response from A-1 Engineering
Hello, Sorry about your experience in not Hiring us because an Engineer never got back with you over the phone. Although many times we do have engineers returning phone calls to non-existing clients, in this case we were notified that you had specific questions concerning the Engineering of a system instead of questions regarding what the service consisted of. We had our friendly and knowledgeable staff talk to you about our services and how we could help you, but you insisted in talking to an engineer to answer a specific engineering question. I hope you understand we can't provide Engineering advice over the phone especially in regards to property we have not assessed. Also, to Avoid conflict of interest with our clients and the engineering advice we give, we do not receive commissions or referral fees from foundation repair companies, so the only way for us to stay in business is through Unbiased consulting fees. But even then, we provide tons of free information on our website regarding foundation repair. If you were an existing client and had questions on the details of an engineering report that we've provided, an engineer would be more than glad to answer any engineering questions you have. Please Ask all of our clients. As you can see by the Many, many, Angie's list reviews (and the many other review websites), We have received an "A" rating from everyone who has actually hired us to do the work. We trust if you give us the opportunity to provide you with consulting services we will provide the same "A" rated service that all the other reviewers have received. If not, I ask you please consider deleting the rating, since no service was provided and we cannot provide the free engineering service you requested. It seems unfair to rate us based on Never hiring us for a service or not being able to provide a specific service. Thanks again and sorry for the misunderstanding.
