Minneapolis Retaining Wall Installation

I was facing a sagging floor due to a cut joist in my basement. Wayne and his partner were on time, masked up, friendly and courteous. About a week later I received a detailed assessment with a solution to cut joist, plus a few other issues I hadn’t seen yet. Hire Wayne with confidence.

Wayne did an amazing job with his calculations and after 15 years I finally have an open kitchen into my dining room. His plans are so detailed and easy to read that I was 100% confident that the contractors could not make any errors and they didn't. The structure is the most important part of any building project and I am so glad I found someone that I trust.

Great guy- fast service and competitively priced. He was able to design a solution & solve my particular issue with readily available products making my job easy.

My business is residential design. I've worked with Wayne on several projects. He is knowledgeable and very easy to work with. I highly recommend Wayne to anyone looking for structural engineering services.

I've worked with the team at Complete Building Solutions on numerous residential construction projects. I really appreciate their "common sense" approach. They always find the most logical, and ultimately, most cost effective solutions to every challenge I present. Their honesty, professionalism, and dedication to efficient structural design leaves no doubt that I will work with them on all structural engineering projects in the future.

Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers promptly replied to my inquiry. While they weren't able to assist with my current needs, they were very helpful and recommended two other engineers, one of whom we selected to go forward with.

I contacted Rob regarding an overhang that we had built at a customers home. Rob was very energetic and very helpful on getting someone out as soon as possible. We look forward to working with everyone at Complete Building Solutions again and forming a great business relationship.

Work needed was completed within our timeline, and found the engineering team responsive and very professional.

Paul called me back the same day I left him a message inquiring about his service. We played phone tag for a day or so but connected eventually in person. We were in a situation where we needed the inspection done fairly quickly because a potential buyer was being led to believe by the home inspector that there were potential foundation/structural issues with the home. So, we wanted to hire a structural engineer to clear up the concern fairly quickly. Paul is a licensed PE which is what we were looking for. Thankfully, Paul leaves room in his schedule for more time sensitive situations like this so he was able to schedule the inspection within a few days which was a great relief. We walked through our entire home with him and pointed out potential items that may appear to be questionable on the surface. In addition, he inspected all other areas he felt were necessary to formulate an opinion both inside and outside the home. He was able to tell us that day that we did not have foundation or structural issues and recommended a few items to repair that would fully alleviate any visual misunderstandings. We got a detailed report of his findings the very next day complete with many pictures that completely eliminated any future questions regarding the home that could arise. We had some follow up questions and asked Paul to include a little more detail in the report related to a few items that we had been most concerned about. He revised the report very quickly and sent it back again the next day. Being able to resolve this so quickly was priceless. I was very grateful I found Paul on Angie's List and hired him due to the excellent reviews I read. They are all true and he exceeded my expectations. Paul also does home inspections and I would hire him to do that as well on a future home purchase. Look no further for a PE or home inspector.

Paul came to our 1942 California Rambler. We were particularly interested in an assessment of the roof as we have a tile roof and there was some sag. Paul spent a considerable amount of time looking at the structure of our house and attached garage. He was very thorough and took a number of pictures. He answered questions along the way and then spent some time after discussing our structure. He also offered an assessment of how it was compared to some new construction and other structures he has assessed. He looked at a bid we had received for repairing our roof and offered his opinion on that, also. Paul did not limit his review to the roof but answered other questions we had, such as which walls were load bearing. Paul then prepared a report, including pictures, for our use.
