Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Pittsburgh
- ENGINEERED FOUNDATION SOLUTIONBrian came over to look at several issues. He gave us good advice on how to set up drainage to avoid too much water being dumped in one place from our only downspout, good advice about our porch that’s separating from the house, and also about a detached garage wall that’s bowing. There was nothing that would make sense to offer us at this time, and he did not try to sell us anything that is not actually necessary. This level of integrity if rare in the business, and we truly appreciate it
- Baker's WaterproofingAnthony, Hieu and Allen arrived on time, began work immediately. Finished all of the work they were contracted to perform quickly and efficiently. Cleaned up before they left. They were professional and knowledgeable. I will hire again.
- Advanced Basement SolutionsABS was terrific. They came promptly for the estimate, didn't try to oversell, and scheduled me promptly. The estimate was given right then and there, and much more reasonable than the competitor. . They were done early and cleaned up well. Very pleased with them and will use them for another project in the near future
- Advanced Basement SolutionsThese people are very professional in the work. They are communicative in explaining the product and how it works. We got what we had ordered and so far are happy with it.
- Advanced Basement SolutionsAdvanced Basement Solutions were professional and helpful from the first phone call through the initial estimate. Although, we couldn’t use their services at this time, I highly recommend their company. ABS is informative, punctual and very knowledgeable. Thanks for your honest evaluation.
- Baker's WaterproofingWe moved into a new house this past fall knowing we would need a wall repair with anchors. I called Baker’s to ask if they could help! That evening they sent out Jon M who was a fantastic help with the process. Explained everything in detail, showed us what needed to be done, gave us the right price amount, set us up with the appointment and a few weeks later we had a new wall! Whenever Ive had questions with anything even to this day Jon has always been able to answer any questions and even get paperwork together that we needed. The guys who came to do the work were very nice explained what needed done did it in a timely manner and did a really good job! Thanks Baker’s!!
- Engineered Foundation SolutionsBrian came over after we had talked with several contractors about a concrete porch underside (in basement room) and one of those contractors made us think the concrete was in such a bad state of "imminent failure" that it needs a full replacement.So, while we continued to get quotes for a full replacement, we also asked a retired architect friend to give his opinion. He did not think concrete was so bad and he was glad we were having a structural engineer (Brian) coming over a few days later. Brian explained why he did not think the concrete was in need of full replacement (very expensive!) and also the damage was not a foundation/structure integrity issue (not "imminent failure"). We had spoken to several contractors and the cost to fully replace is upwards of 15-20 thousand dollars. From the state of the concrete, Brian did not believe the "symptoms" warranted a full replacement and that the more likely issue was simply that we never "sealed" the concrete with epoxy (and only painted the concrete porch). Given the sky-rocketing costs to do any home repairs, it seems more reasonable for us to do first level repair (not replace) that Brian suggests. Brian's honest and informative consultation (for free!!!) is piece of mind and a HUGE savings. We greatly appreciate Brian coming over to educate us - on his own dime. We will definitely ask Brian to come over again if/when we think we need an honest assessment of our home foundation needs
- Keystone Basement Systems & Structural Repair IncEvery went perfectly. Charles showed up exactly at the appointed time. He explained everything he was going to do then repeated it entirely to my husband who arrived a few minutes later. The work was done very quickly and neatly. Charles stated he didn't mind if we wanted to watch. Any questions were answered without hesitation. All in all a good experience
- Keystone Basement Systems & Structural Repair IncFrom working with Brian on the estimate through working with Tony and his crew on the 2 day project everything was great! Below are a few specific things that I think every customer will want to know as every job is different. + The pricing was good for the work that we needed done. + Tony and his crew finished early which was unexpected. + Even though the initial plan that was discussed needed to slightly be tweaked, the finished overall job was made sense and and was secure. + Tony and his crew answered my questions at the beginning of work and through out. + Most importantly, they were respectful of our property and maintained a clean job site
- Keystone Basement Systems & Structural Repair IncAfter noticing the formation and rapid growth of cracks in both the interior and exterior of the house, we hired Keystone out of a group of three contractors. Of the three, they proposed techniques that were less invasive to our house and property and, most importantly, arrested the shifting that were causing the cracks to grow. Two years after the work was complete, the cracks have not budged

"Clint is exceptional!!!! He took my old, dark, 1940's kitchen and now its absolutely beautiful. The kitchen of my dreams!!! No hidden cost at all. Same price I was quoted was the same price I paid. Clint's craftsmanship coupled with his attention to detail shows in the extraordinary end product. If you want the highest quality workmanship and a finished product that exceeds anything you could even imagine then look no further! I would highly recommend him to my family, friends, or anyone looking to remodel their house.

"I was given an old pressure washer. When I tried to use it , it kept shutting down. I took it to Workhorse to get it running. Joe cleaned up the engine and had it running but when he tried using it, the pump kept kicking out. The pump needed a new part . But when Joe tried to go online to get it, the pressure washer was so old they didn't make parts for it anymore. Joe went out of his way to search online for a similar part that would work. With this level of customer service, Workhorse is a company you want to use for small engine repair.

"The salesperson David was very honest and had no interest in upselling. He strongly advised against any interior drains for my basement, and he instead recommended an exterior drain called HydroBlox for my backyard. The estimate for the HydroBlox was $3,400. The installation occurred a few weeks later. Three employees used a machine to dig a trench in my backyard, and then because of utility lines, they hand-dug another trench in my side yard. They installed the pieces of HydroBlox and covered them with dirt. I expect the HydroBlox to properly drain the water from my yard, but if they do not, then I will update my review in the future.
