Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Nashville
- IDE Structural EngineersMarcel did a great job. He was very responsive. He was able to come out by the end of the week when I called. It was a time pressing issue. He was very thorough and professional. He did exactly what he said he would do. I would highly recommend his services.
- The Foundation SpecialistsI have never had any work done for me personally by Vintage Construction. I know the owner and he has an excellent work ethic. Many of my neighbors have used his company and everyone was very pleased. If I needed their kind of service, I would definitely call them.
- The Foundation SpecialistsThe experience with Vintage Construction was excellent from beginning to end. The representative who came to assess our situation initially is very knowledgeable, having worked years in the construction industry before working for Vintage. He did not hit us with a hard-sales routine or hit try to sell more than what we needed do right now. He explained the process well. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't going to cost more than it did, considering how critical the work was. Vintage, although very busy, worked with us on the date knowing that we needed to "get the house straight" (literally) before our new windows were scheduled to be installed. They were able to get us scheduled even before the promised deadline, showed up on time, did the work with a minimum of disruption. They did a good job of putting everything back in order (soil and bush back in place) and took more care than I expected in matching the concrete on the driveway. Most important was the results! Vintage was able to close the crack that had shown up quite suddenly and level the house significantly. If we had not addressed the foundation issue, I have no doubt that the house would have settled further, as it is essentially three storeys tall on that side, high on a hill, on deep clay. After the problem was fixed, we discovered we fixed some existing settling that we had not known about. We had only owned the house for a little over a year. Now the French doors to the living room that used to never open all the way swing freely and the front door that always felt locked when it wasn't opens easily. I am really glad that we had this work done
- The Foundation SpecialistsWe had foundation/water/ front porch issues. Our rep came & spent a couple hours inspecting the foundation, the slope of the land, crawl space, etc. VCI recommended taking care of the water problems first. They installed drainage pipes coming off the downspouts that lead to the front yard, a new sump pump & piers around the lowest corner of our foundation. VCI will come back soon to inspect the situation & make recommendations for the porch. I was very impressed by their promptness, calling ahead to let us know when they would arrive, how long the job should take & the final cost. After contacting other companies, I finally feel like I have found one that I can trust
- The Foundation SpecialistsExcellent presentation by Ed Adkins clearly showed exactly what work was needed. Professional crew arrived on-time and completed work in the time quoted. Everyone on the team was personable and respectful, and the team leader was very knowledgeable and had a good working relationship with his team. I was pleased with the outcome, and appreciated the clean up and reseeding of my grass (which is growing very well). Highly recommend TFS
- Structural Engineering & Inspections, LLCIt went very well. Engineer arrived on time and was very thorough in measuring everything. In a way, I would almost fault them for being too diligent for the problem at hand (and taking a bit more time), but as an Engineer myself, I respected the effort and the approach. While there is a minimum cost per visit, I was slightly uncomfortable with the large unknown of how long it would take to write the report. In the end, the price still worked out within the range I expected, and actually the final report was far more detailed than I expected it to be -- which I consider to be a huge value. Would definitely use again and appreciate the knowledge, professionalism, and diligence of this group
- The Foundation SpecialistsHad initially scheduled just the foyer support work, but added the fireplace work when I realized new family room flooring ready to be installed had to be held up because the floor in the area around the fireplace was far out-of-level. Although the company already had a full work load due to recent weather related work requests, they accelerated our schedule date to allow work on the new floor to proceed on schedule
- Structural Engineering & Inspections, LLCThe Service Provider came out promptly and gave walked around the affected area with us and explained what is going on, why the damage is happening, and what should be done to remedy the situation. He even offered suggestions of who to call to have the work done by people SEI works with often. We learned a lot about the house, the land, and why we should not settle for less work than suggested
- The Foundation SpecialistsWhen my home was remodeled 10 years ago, there were no additional support beams placed under the kitchen yet very heavy tile was placed on the floor along with granite countertops, appliances, cabinets, etc. Consequently, my tile started to crack. Greg Yarbrough came out to inspect my crawl space. He was very knowledgeable. Leslie & Quinn came to install about 1 month later and were very professional and knowledgeable. They called several days ahead to confirm, kept me informed the day of and Leslie took his time in explaining exactly what work was being done. This work is not cheap, however. Even with a discount, 4 smartjacks and (2) 10 ft beams, the cost was still nearly $3,000. I'm pleased with the work
- Oakhurst Geotechnical Services LLCThey were fantastic. In fact, we called several other firms who either did not answer their phones nor did they return phone calls; this firm was genuine, kind, and ended up looking a lot of things for us while he was there. Fantastic!

"Charlie Stamm was our home inspector. We have owned and sold several homes and we’ve never had a home inspection as thorough as this one. Charlie included pages of photos that have helped us with future home repairs as well as photos of things that were done well. Sadly, I became a difficult customer for a time because of my own error and he was a perfect gentleman, guiding me through my mistake in reading the report. We highly recommend Corum and particularly Charlie Stamm. The inspection was well worth the cost.
