We are a family owned and operated Public Adjusting Firm that has been open since 1987. For over 30 years we have assisted homeowners through the property claims process and have bolstered our business based on our efforts to not only get the greatest settlement possible for our clients, but also by conducting ourselves as courteous professionals who treat our customers with a great deal of respect and consideration. Unfortunately the time when we usually meet for the first time is after some sort of tragic or catastrophic event in the life of a homeowner, i.e. a collapsed roof or burst stack pipe. However, given our attention to detail, knowledge of construction and vast amount of experience we are fully capable of walking you through these no doubt difficult to deal with situations and we can help you come out of it with a great sigh of relief and often a notion of surprise at how great and quick a settlement can come from the claims adjusting process. Give us a call for a free home walk-through and policy evaluation!

"I am a construction attorney who worked for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 32 years before I retired. I also maintained a par-time practice throughout that time. and represented many home buyers. I found Mr. Muehlbronner from AHI, Inc., to be by far one of the most, if not the most competent and rigorous inspectors that I have had the pleasure of working with in my career. He uncovered numerous problems in the 1st house that was under contract . We had to walk away from the first house. This was the second house that he inspected for us within a month. Mr, Muehlbronner was well worth every penny spent on his consultation and inspection services. I would wholeheartedly recommend him without reservation."

"After noticing some cracks in our walls, I reached out to Paul to schedule an inspection. He was professional and went through our whole home, including the attic and scrawl spaces to get some closer looks, explaining each area. Luckily, Paul informed us that 99% of what were were seeing was cosmetic and what to just keep an eye on over the next several years. Best money I've spent for peace of mind and more importantly, honesty. We will definitely call Paul again in the future if needed."

"Mr. Graci provided a perspective buyer of my home with a report that indicated numerous serious problems with the house. He only came into the garage and never went to the first and second floors of the home and never climbed a ladder to throughly investigate the upper areas of the outside of the house. Despite this he made claims about interior floors and outside walls. His report was so disturbing that I hired another structural engineer to inspect the house. This engineer entered every room in the house, climbed a ladder to inspect the outside walls, and took measurements of cracks. His report refuted all but a small fraction of Mr. Graci’s report. I also had a contractor inspect the house, areas of his expertise, and his findings refute Mr. Graci. Therefore, I would be very careful and hesitant to hire Mr. Graci! He did not do professional work as it related to my house."

"Horrible sloppy work! Don came out and told me I needed a new sump pump because Radon was run into my current sump pump. Told me the sump pump he installed would drain outside into my drain spout. I approved work and when sump pump was installed they did not run it where they stated because the wall was thick concrete (should have known before). As a result they ran the pipes from the sump pump in the air and drilled a hole through the outside of my house. They did not secure the pipes properly and did not use the proper joints. Loud banging noise kept me and my neighbors up all night! Don came back out and agreed job was sloppy and he would fix it. Suggested running pipes from new sump pump into my current sump pump that he previously said we couldn't use!!! I pointed out to him that workers did not use the negative air which was promised, hence my basement was covered in dust, pipes were dangling, and outside stone landscaping and wall were in disorder from worker trying to drill through foundation wall. Pipes are now run across ground (eye sore), joints are still wrong and leaked. I was told I would have money refunded which I have been pursuing for over 2 months. Don, owner is rude, arrogant and hot headed! So much more went wrong!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Structural engineers can perform various inspections on different structures in your home. These inspections usually include a report detailing the engineer’s findings and recommendations for repairs so you can determine your next course of action for repairs, replacements, or new builds. Some of the most common structural engineering reports include:

  • Full home inspection: $350–$1,000

  • Foundation: $300–$800

  • Load-bearing walls: $300–$1,000

  • Roof: $150–$600

  • Chimney: $200–$500

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Trusses and rafters each have advantages and disadvantages, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. For example, trusses are more affordable and often come in prefabricated kits, so they’re easier to build than rafters. However, rafters are available in a variety of designs, so it’s easier to find one that fits your style preferences. Plus, if you want to build an attic at some point down the line, it’s far easier to do that with rafters rather than trusses.

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
