Testimonials
Rene and his team were very professional and prompt in their replies to my last-minute request for a foundation inspection. My wife and I are first-time homebuyers, and when foundation damage turned up on our initial inspection report, we took seriously the suggestion to get the opinion of a structural engineer. Rene was very direct and clear in his communication, and answered all of our questions.
He covered the whole outdoor property and the basement. He pointed out some additional problem areas that were not on my radar. He also provided some info as to how to go about working with the town on possible storm drain access. Then he followed up with a report that detailed his findings. He’s been doing this for years and his experience shows. Appreciated that he didn’t try to upsell me.
Rene came to my house and listened to my concerns, then proceeded with a thorough structural inspection of my home, both outside and inside. He explained his findings very well, recommended solutions. The entire experience was great. I fully trust and respect his opinion based on the interaction with him. He proved to have extensive and solid knowledge.
