Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Louisville
- United Dynamics IncThe front left corner of my house had some minor foundation settling that caused the basement wall foundation to crack. Patrick Lockhart quoted to dig the basement wall outside corner 8-10 ft down to add 2 foundation piers and anchored to bedrock. His crew, Nick (leader), Jose and Cesar arrived on time and quickly and expertly dug the 8' deep hole (including a tree stump that needed to be removed) and set in the two piers and tuck pointed up 2 stories of the brick wall where the crack gap had been. Prior to filling the hole, I requested a 4" drain tile be placed to aid me with a French drain I plan to add. Without batting an eye, Jose immediately agreed they would handle this task. Jose and Cesar made certain the yard was clean and ready for me to tackle my landscape stairs project. I was very impressed with the total job and would recommend them for your foundation pier project
- United Dynamics IncTHEY are soooo wounderful......even repaied a crack I had out side of the home which they never said they would be fixing along with stablization of my basement walls. AAAAA++++++++ WORK. Cleaned up after their work....The basement was more clean than I left it!!!! I have friend that also used them and said they were tops
- United Dynamics IncTheir warranty lasts for the lifetime of the dwelling. Their field representative is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was reassuring and he worked with my wife quite a bit to make sure it wasn't falling down the hill. They are extremely professional and extremely neat and tidy. They are a very strong company. They are very friendly and very professional. They clean and pick up after themselves very nicely. I can't say enough of good things about them
- United Dynamics IncWork was completed in a professional and cost-effective manner. Mr.Byrd and his Project Manager Mr. Decker and associates, performed magnificently. They thoroughly planned the job and attacked it zealously. It was impressive to see the magnitude of the task and their complete comfort dealing with it. They were here on time every day until completion. I was very impressed by the the work ethic of everyone. Every crew member had his assignment, went immediately to work and conducted themselves impressively. It had the appearances of a well executed military operation. The job was completed on time and on budget. The few matters, that needed touch up after completion, were done promptly and superbly. I have no hesitation in recommending this company and its personnel for any work. This particular task came with an excellent warranty. Also, lest I forget, their home-office personnel are terrific. Telephone calls are handled promptly, professionally and in a most friendly manner
- Garber-Chilton Engineers & Land SurveyorsAfter getting quotes from 4 different foundation repair companies I decided to invest in the expertise of a structural engineer. Enter, Dave Chilton and assistant Harley. Both arrived promptly and Dave advised me and examined the situation. Harley took tons of photographs of the building and surroundings. After thoughtful consideration, I chose a company to do the work and got Dave's approval. You get what you pay for. Peace of mind is priceless
- Garber-Chilton Engineers & Land SurveyorsGarber-Chilton Engineers and Land Surveyors gave a very professional and thorough investigation. We feel very confident in his capabilities and expertise.
- Jaimes Masonry LLCIsabel was patient with me, meeting with me several times to discuss what needed to be done. He also met with the insurance adjuster and the engineer the insurance company sent out. While the insurance company did not pay a claim, they did provide agreement with Isabel aas to how to do the repairs. When I got past the sticker shock, then pulled together the funds, Isabel and his men came and did the job. Isabel took time regulary to show me exactly how things were and also explain to me what he was doing. We consulted together, and were able to save some money in the process which savings he passed on to me. His employees were all cordial, hard working, and diligent. I have not seen any collateral damage from sloppiness or carelessness. A couple little things unrelated to the main job came up or were observed by him and they were addressed at no additional charge. In the process of the job, I had occasion to talk to others in general construction work and everyone I spoke to about Isabel James of Shelbyville said they either knew him or had heard of him and everyone had nothing but good things to say about him. The only thing left to do in a couple days is pressure washing once the mortar sets. Otherwise I am completely satisfied with the work
- Garber-Chilton Engineers & Land SurveyorsThey were thorough. They came in and did what they needed to do. It was a good job. I chose them partly because they returned my phone calls and showed up.
- BIRD ENGINEERINGMr. Bird was very professional and punctual. I appreciated his advice and tipped him kindly for his brief visit. Mr. Bird offered to look further into our problem, but was not pushy or over bearing in his sales approach. I would definitely use him on other structural engineering services in the future
- Garber-Chilton Engineers & Land SurveyorsI was very pleased with the report and the specific details on how my problems needed to be remedied.

"To Expert House Movers
<br /> We wanted to let you know just how pleased we are with the work you did on our house. Before we contacted you, we had several other contractors look at our home. We actually had hired another contractor, who took such a long time, never returned our calls, missed meetings, and took months to even get us our bid. And when that contractor did get us our bid, it was more than doubled our previously discussed budget!
<br /> That is when we called you, you came out immediately, was extremely professional, but more importantly, you had a personal interaction with both me and my wife throughout the entire process. You answered all our phone calls, all of our questions, and talked with us throughout the entire process. We felt extremely confident and assured through the entire lift. This house is our dream house and we are going to live in it until we die, and you knew how much it meant to us, and you took care of it as if it were your own.
<br /> As you know, my wife ended up in the hospital with some complications with her surgery while you were working on our home, and you took such great care of our house. You knew she was very disappointed that she could not be there, as she designed the foundation window placements and had a big part in the doors and steps. Your crew was so kind and so professional and meticulous, that they knew that two particular windows were very important to my wife. Your crew wanted to get them perfect and asked me some questions about them, that I could not answer. My wife was feeling better, but still in the hospital, and I called her on the phone, while your crew waited for me, as she and I discussed for several minutes the exact placement of the windows. Some minor changes had to be made and your crew could have easily just slapped the two windows in the new location, which was only slightly off of the original plan, and be done with it, but they stopped and pointed out where my wife originally wanted them and the new location difference and wanted to be sure that my wife understood the change, and wanted me to talk to my wife first. I was so very impressed that they made the adjustments on the spot that my wife suggested over the phone. I don’t think any other company would have gone through this much trouble to please their customers!
<br /> You also were very respectful of our property, neighbors, and your crew were always very willing to stop and explain the process of what was going to happen next. Not one time did we ever feel like we were in your way. Actually, it was the opposite, we felt like you and your crew were very excited to show us your equipment and how it worked and actually wanted us around so we could see how it all worked and so we could see for ourselves how everything was perfect - and it was!
<br /> We will always remember you and think of you so highly. Thank you for making the beginning our home building so easy and off to such a perfect start. There are so many things that can go wrong when redoing a home, and having it go off with such a perfect start gives us such great hope. You have certainly set bar very high for the other contractors that will be coming in for the other parts of the home! Your company and its crew should be very proud of its work. You do a job that is very difficult, complex and tedious, but you do it with care, expertise, and perfection. We actually miss you guys and wish you were around. You are like family to us. We only wish we could rate your service and staff A++ , if there were such a rating.
<br /> All our best and blessings,
<br /> Randy and Elizabeth
