Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Atlanta
- Falcone Crawl Space & Structural RepairI truly appreciate their honesty. It is great to know that I can save some money by hiring a different service. I would absolutely use them in the future. They were extremely professional, polite and quick. Thank you.
- Falcone Crawl Space & Structural RepairThey replaced some rotted subfloor that was beneath a bathroom. They did it from the crawlspace, so had to cut and then re-install joists as part of the process. My reason for doing it was because when we bought the house the home inspector said it should be done so that the toilet would have a secure attachment point. The install went pretty good, and they had a guy come a few days later to check the work. However, I realized once I had a plumber come to install a new toilet that they did not install subfloor right up to the toilet sewer pipe, but had a left a large gap there. I was disappointed that it was not correct for toilet installation since that was the whole reason I got it done, but they sent somebody else out and resolved it and it seems to be good now. I would recommend this company, everybody I've dealt with has been nice and they seem to stand behind their work
- Falcone Crawl Space & Structural RepairRonnie Watkins arrived on time for the appointment. He inspected all areas of concern in detail and advised that the house is structurally sound. He told me what to look for in future settling and how to address cosmetic issues. I am very pleased with the professionalism and helpfullness provided.
- Engineered Solutions of GeorgiaTeam was polite & professional. ESOG got us in earlier than anticipated & the results are great.
- Southern ContractingWonderful! The rotten wood was discovered during the demolition for two bathroom remodels. Once discovered the bath remodeling contractor was not equipped to repair the underlying structural damage. A local engineer highly recommended Jeff Hall and Southern Contracting, who promptly came out to assess the extent of the damage that had likely been there for decades hidden behind the walls that were now exposed. He designed a rebuild of the bathroom stack (1st & 2nd floor) to include wall plates, flooring and ceiling structures. He assigned the construction work to a very experienced superintendent, Jeff who has been with the company for 7-years. He came with a crew of three men (Dev, Hunter and Andy). First and foremost, they did a great job! The structure is now stronger than when the property was built in 1929. Plus they were all very polite and very considerate of us as they performed the work. They put paper down on the floors to minimize the mess as they came in and out and also cleaned up well afterwards. It was a really good experience from the first call to their office all the way to the finish. I would highly recommend Southern Contracting
- Engineered Solutions of GeorgiaEveryone was professional from the estimator to the workers who pumped the concrete. My worry was the heating /air conditioning ducts also in the slab(floor). They monitored the ductwork with cameras during the operation to ensure concrete did not ooze into the ductwork. I was a nervous Nelly during the procedure and the guys were so professional and reassuring. Great job and no more rats
- American Crawlspace SolutionsThe company's field supervisor listened to my needs, made recommendations, worked out a plan, provided a quote and scheduled the work. All went very well.
- Engineered Solutions of GeorgiaWent great. Clark came to my house and was extremely professional and gave trusted advice and recommendations. Suggest to anyone needing help with settling housing/foundations. Talked about capabilities around engineering department as additional steps as well. Was nice to know I can get multiple areas of expertise and help from Clark and Engineered Solution
- Engineered Solutions of GeorgiaHe arrived on time. I showed him the crack in my foundation. He measure the slope of my floor and told me I had a slight slope but not anything outside of normal. He said he was looking for a different slope on each side of the crack which would have indicated a structural problem. We then went outside to see if the crack was transferring through to the outside. It wasn't. He suggested I put crack repair tape on the crack prior to tiling in order to decouple the area from the tile to allow for expansion and contraction. I asked him if he was an overall structural engineer or if he just looks at concrete. He said he looks at all structural elements, so I asked him if he could tell me if certain walls in my kitchen were load bearing. He crawled up in my attic and was able to determine they weren't load bearing
- Engineered Solutions of GeorgiaIt went well. The entire perimeter of the basement floor was opened and a drain was installed and routed to a sump pump to remove any possible basement water. There was much jack hammer work to break the concrete and dust was everywhere. I was left with the clean up of the dust. This was the only negaive of the work

"It went great! I had no experience contacting a structural engineer or what needed to be handled. I wanted to make sure my desk was reinforced, so I contacted Engineers Here and was in great hands with Neda Sharifaei. She redesigned and replaced the porch columns and footings. I really had no idea how to go about this, so I am glad I was in the hands of an expert! It looks great and I feel so much safer!

"Excellent. Mike at Desert Dry Concrete responded to my inquiry faster any other foundation company.

His quote was reasonable and the work is quality. We will def call him again if needed.

"I called Georgia Drainage Specialists for a poor draining and standing water area beside a retaining wall / storage shed location that was always a muddy mess. Jarod came out quickly to look at the project. He provided a solution to my problem right away and even made some other suggestions to help move water away from the downspouts as part of the solution. Quote and work was scheduled quickly.
