Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Birmingham
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsIt went great, as much as these things can go. And I apologize for being so tardy with this review, as their work was done in spring of 2015. They did everything they said they were going to do, and they fixed the inevitable "surprises" that popped up. They only issue we had was that after the new flooring was laid, we discovered that there was still a slope in the floor. So they came back out, adjusted the jack, and repaired the part of the floor that cracked due to that adjustment. I really couldn't ask for more. I thought the price was fair, given the amount of work they had to do
- Southern-Home Structural Repair SpecialistsSouthern Home Structural Repair Specialists repaired a major damage in our basement walls. The Owner/Founder, Mr. Garland Caudle was the person who attended to our needs. His knowledge, punctuality, and customer service can be overshadowed only by his competence and professionalism. This is one contractor who is a cut above all others I have dealt with over the years. His integrity is impeccable, the work of his team is top-notch, and dealing with him has been a pleasure. I highly recommend this contractor for anyone who needs foundation repair. Afif Kanafani Hoover, A
- Southern-Home Structural Repair SpecialistsWe could not have been more pleased with the job that was done. 17 steel beams were installed along the wall. Everything was done in a timely and professional manner and the crew did a wonderful job cleaning up when the project was finished. Our only regret is that we did not have this done sooner!
- Southern-Home Structural Repair SpecialistsIt couldn't have gone better; they did a magnificent job. They are not cheap but you get what you pay for. I can't say enough good things about them.
- Southern-Home Structural Repair SpecialistsI contacted Garland Caudle for an inspection and estimate. I had some support installed in 2006, but had seen indications that this initial work was not sufficient (hairline cracks in walls, etc). Setting up the appointment was easy, Garland was on time and we had a thorough discussion of the required work. The three supports installed earlier needed replacing and the floor area under the kitchen and laundry room needed additional support. Garland gave a formal proposal within a day and we set up two days for the work...first day to prepare the area and pour concrete footings and the second day to install the supporting structures.The crew arrived on time both days and quickly did the work. They also left the area very neat. The crawl space is encapsulated and they ensured minimal disturbance of the moisture barrier and SHSRS coordinated follow up repair of the barrier with the encapsulation company.The total experience was outstanding. I got good value for the money spent
- Southern-Home Structural Repair Specialistsinstalled three support beams. the crew was professional, nice and quite and punctual. Mr. Garland has been in this business for 40 years so he knows what he is doing. And he is super nice, like my grandpa. They made two trips, the first one was to dig holes and pour concrete and the second one was to install the structural parts. I absolutely recommend their service
- Timber Products Engineering, Inc.Mr. Edwards met me and my realtor to take a look at the foundation. He looked for cracks in the walls upstairs to determine if the house was shifting. He evaluated the block walls in the basement, walked the perimeter of the home to assess the slope and water condition, and examined the steel columns and beams in the basement. Within 2 days I had a report detailing his findings and assessment of the structure, as well as suggestions for mitigaiting any issues
- CRITERIUM CARLYSLE ENGINEERSIt was an excellent experience. The engineer was timely and took a lot of time to explain in detail. I was very impressed by Mr. Carlysle.
- AFS Foundation & Waterproofing SpecialistsTheir price was reasonable. They were courteous. It took them 9 days to try to get the order right and get the right equipment which was supposed to be a half a day job. It wasn't exactly what we thought it was going to be because the communication between us and the supervisor and the team that came out to do the job was not good

"Although I did not purchase the Duralook material for my patio, I might for my pool area later. I was impressed with their professionalism, they were on time for three meetings and had a state of the art mobile computer system to show work for the bid. As a female client, I was treated very respectfully and and business like. I recommend them for anyone who needs their type service and special type materials.

"I called Barry Jones. He was thorough and he did it really reasonably on the price. I put together a 20 page document on all the structural elements already described and gave this to him so he didn't have to look stuff up. He went through my documentation and wrote his calculations. He gave me a cover letter for my city stating it was built well beyond the structural requirements for my building.
