"Very experienced structural engineer who could analyze our rooftop deck and give us a plan for doing the roof and hotub of our dreams!"

"Zach was very knowledgeable, friendly, and finely a Structural Engineer who pointed out the obvious with our structural problems."

"Excellent experience again with Alpha Structural. Charlie Rosenkranz came to see the 3-story apartment building in West Hollywood. We discussed what the soft story retrofit plans will likely include. He's knowledgeable and experienced. We appreciated his professional no-pressure approach and answering our questions. Alpha performed an exploratory investigation of the support structure, as architectural plans were not available. They engineered the plans with city approval. They then consulted with us and provided the approved THP (Tenant Habitability Plan) paperwork. Production Manager Dave Schlaich and Job Supervisor Seth Price met me before construction. Dave went over the approved plans and explained the work that would be performed, and the purpose. They both answered all my questions. Lawrence and Antonio were the main work team. They were very pleasant and answered all our questions. Both had great explanations with Lawrence being very detailed. Seth provided timely progress reports by phone and text. He answered all questions, and provided contacts for automatic shut-off gas valves and stucco work. Despite Covid-19, they scheduled and passed inspections, and completed the work in under a month. We've seen projects by other companies stuck in limbo for months with no progress, so we chose Alpha to avoid complications. They removed all debris, and left the property clean. The tenants and neighbors had no complaints. Daniel Aparicio also explained various issues. Communication with everyone, including the office staff, was excellent. We're very pleased with this experience."

"I called on a Friday evening and Jonathon answered. I needed a structural engineer inspection to satisfy an underwriting requirement of the lender for a house I was selling. Jonathon came out that weekend, was very pleasant and helpful and I had the letter I needed first thing Monday morning. I was quite impressed with his service and would definitely use him again."

"The best structural engineer that i ever worked with they saved me thousands of dollars in construction. Been working with them for a few years now and highly recommend them to everyone."

"I recently engaged Nick Engineering for a kitchen remodeling, and I must say, their structural engineering work was exceptional. Their design not only gave our house a stunning makeover but also made sure it is built to last. The teams professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to meeting our expectations made the entire project a breeze. I highly recommend Sam and his team for anyone in need of outstanding structural engineering services for their home renovation projects"

"Raj, is a stand-up guy full of integrity. We needed Structural Engineering Design and Calculation services for a retaining wall in our backyard- the wall is neighbor adjacent and retaining a slop, and would exceed 75LF in length and 4FT height. It needed to be designed thoughtfully; And we needed it to be prepared and presented to the City for a Building Permit, so it also had to adhere to our city's unique municipal codes and ordinances. And we needed it done ASAP. Raj, took the challenge and delivered! Raj, came over immediately, he worked over the weekend for us, and delivered all the necessary designs, calculations and drawings, such that it can go to the City by Monday morning. All while putting up with our countless questions, emails, and phone calls. And of course the Engineers at the City Planning & Building Department granted the permit without hassle. His patience, professionalism, and calm demeanor is why we will call Raj again for all of our Engineering needs in the future."

"Jonathan was great! He was efficient and thorough, easy to work with, and helpful at each step of my ADU project. I have never hired an architect before and Jonathan was completely open to my questions and suggestions. I never felt dumb for asking a question I was unsure of or that Jonathan wasn't taking into consideration the things I was suggesting from a design standpoint. I would say he is a customer-centric architect. He did what he said he would do when he said he would do it. He was always prompt in his responses and clear in what to expect next. I would hire him again in a heartbeat and couldn't recommend him enough for this kind of project. Thanks Jonathan!"
