We replaced our unit when we noticed that several neighbors had to replace theirs. So, we had plenty of time to look around and shop prices. Rite-Temp was not the lowest bidder. We chose Rite-Temp because of his expertise. I'm an engineer and I have a good understanding of the principles of air conditioning and heat pumps. Leo (the owner) knows a lot more. We arranged to install a switch that would allow us to operate our heat pump more cheaply. (A sales rep from another company could not even understand the problem.) The installers showed up on time. They were quiet, professional and knowlegeable. When they were done, the removed the old unit and swept up the mess. The new unit (an American Standard) performs beautifully.

The workmen who came were extremely talented, had a great attitude, and were very hard working. The awnings were replaced on schedule. The the work began on the carport installation and Murphy's Law saw a totally new lease on life as problems arose with connections of carport to the roof, non-closure of space between roof and house, etc. There was a missing middle support beam that, while specified in the engineering print, was absent when the framing structure was attached to the house.The holes for the support posts were dug about half of what was specified, no re-bar was installed, and after four visits by the city inspector, the holes were dug to the specified length and breadth with re-bar attached as specified. Today the footers were finally poured,ostensibly to spec, but the surrounding area was not kept clear to allow the inspector to visually determine that they were installed to spec. Meanwhile the drainpipe along the top of the carport pours water down onto the driveway beneath rather than carry it to the ground nearby. With anticipation I await the arrival of the City inspectors to see if the job gets a pass or...we will see. Remaining, if it does finally pass will be significant re-landscaping of the areas around the posts holding up the carport. In summary...the workmen are great and they work their butts off! The are directed, however, by supervisors who, at least until earlier last week, had not bothered to come out to scope out the progress of the installation. Clearly there appears to be a major disconnect between top management and the workers doing the job. That is sad because the guys at the end of the shovels, wrench, drill, and screwdrivers really know what they are doing and, had the supervisors bothered to come out with regularity, all of these issues could have been avoided. Oh yes, I asked them not to send in the charge on my credit card until the job was done...guess what...that charge went through last week! I called my bank and told them the story; they said to tell the folks at the Awning Factory to reverse the charge or they would put the transaction in the hold-and-investigate category. We will see what happens next as we await the final inspection by the City of Casselberry. I really want the Awning Factory to succeed, in every way, but, if their performance on my house is typical, they need new management, for sure, startng at the top!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/fl/orlando/the-awning-factory-reviews-2077001.htm"},"position":8}]}

These professionals will bend over backwards to make sure you are satisfied. Excellent price. Fast and efficient work. Had our entire roof and support structure finished in 12 hours. Worked non-stop until it was done and I was happy with the work. You can't beat these people.
The insepection went well. Compared to other home inspections I'd had done in the past, Honor seemed much more professional & thorough. What I found comforting was the fact that one of the owners was there & has construction experience; thus I felt he knew more about structure integrity...

"We called Lou to come and meet us at the home we are purchasing to help us determine how we could work with removing a load bearing wall in the kitchen. We called to make an appointment four days out, then called him back the next day to confirm the appointment which was a few days out. We then texted him again the night before to confirm the time, at which point he told us he’d lost our information. But we were able to confirm and had our realtor schedule to meet us at the home so we could have the meeting. On the day of the meeting, 15 minutes after the appointment time, we called to see where he was. The phone rang a few times, but we were put to voicemail. At that time, I called using my number, Lou picked up and then said he was busy and he forgot about our appointment. He said he could get there in 40 minutes, but with two small kids in tow, a husband that took off from work and a realtor sitting there, that was not an option. I am floored at the unprofessional and just lack of consideration of our time and mismanagement of his business. And to think he was going to charge us $300 for today with another $1,500 - $2,000 for the plans. Praise God we didn’t enter into this business relationship. Would not recommend."

FAQs for structural engineering projects in Sorrento, FL
No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.
Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.
The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:
Do you have experience working in my specific area?
Do you have professional indemnity insurance?
What will your structural report cover?
Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?
How long have you been in business?
Do you have a list of customer references?
Structural engineers typically charge between $100 and $250per hour, but many jobs won’t be based on a per-hour fee. Instead, the structural engineer will offer a flat rate for the inspection and structural calculations. The flat rate for a structural engineer costs an average of around $550, but you could see prices ranging from $300 to $800, depending on the complexity of your project and how easy it is to access certain parts of your home for the inspection.
Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.
