Recent Structural Engineering Reviews in Jackson
- AquaGuard Foundation SolutionsCraig and Jason did a fantastic job and as soon as I set foot on the the porch I felt as if I were standing on level ground. They exceeded my expectations. Both Craig and Jason were very respectful and kept me informed of what they were doing, what needed to be done and how to finish up the project myself. (The entire area needs to be repainted. I knew that even before the project started. ) I am grateful for both men and highly recommend them and AquaGuard to anyone who is looking for a great Company with great employees
- Crosstown Engineering and Home InspectionExcellent. The work was done quickly and expertly. The Engineer provided excellent feedback and technical information.
- AquaGuard Foundation SolutionsPretty seamless, was a little less than we were expecting, which was nice. Raised the floors over an inch, and while it’s not completely even, we knew that was just not realistic, and overall very pleased with the whole process. Would definitely use them again.
- Grubb Engineering and Design, PCI was very pleased with the amount of detailed questions and final drawings for this project. They we're very open to answering any questions I had while being flexible in assisting on other aspects not directly related to the job at hand but would affect the final outcome.
- STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTIONMy roof held up for years and it was supported my wooden columns but over time the columns rotted out from water that ran in from the sidewalk. The beam from the driveway to the front door that was keeping the roof level was sagging and had a sink in it. I asked the to straighten it out for me and he took it out and put in a new piece to hold up the roof again and he supported it and welded a plate on the top and on the bottom. He went out at my request to get a decorative plastic to cover the new beam to give it a nice finish. It really looked good
- STRUCTURE CONSTRUCTIONMy bedroom is held up by a lever beam in the basement supported in a concrete block wall. Over time the wall cracked so the beam began to sink down into the basement about 7 inches. It was causing havoc upstairs, the doors wouldn't close and there were gaps between the baseboard and the floor in the bedroom. I saw what was going on and I called them. He charged $1500 and he stuck with that price. He fixed it by jacking up the beam so that it was level again so the bedroom was back where it was supposed to be and the doors rectified. He also reinforced the beam with some posts. They should've been there from the house was built. He underestimated the weight of the bedroom above because one of the posts began to twist and crack before he left. I think he should have put a 4th post there. I bought a pipe jack from the hardware store and jacked it a bit higher and slipped in another post and now its doing quite well. He solved my problem but he didn't fix it as I would have liked him to do
- HC Construction & GradingStay away from this company. Hired them 7 years ago to replace a shingle roof with a metal roof. Had a few leaks that were due to what we thought were screws popping out. When a significant leak appeared in 2020, we contacted them to find out what the problem was and they came out to "fix" the issue. Owner stated that the roof was improperly installed but that he fixed the issue 100%. Two weeks later, had massive leaks in new places. Contacted several different roofing companies for estimates all of which stated they have NEVER seen such a botched job. Nothing was put between the metal and the plywood causing major moisture issues, screws were put in on top of old washers that cracked allowing water to come in, flashing was missing ALL OVER THE ROOF causing water to penetrate thru into the house. Screws were completely missing where they just left holes, screws were screwed in sideways at an angle allowing water through. The metal roofing was cut too short to where the water didn't even reach the gutters causing water to run down behind the gutter rotting the facia boards away and the strips to attach the metal to the plywood weren't even screwed into the rafters of the roof so they were completely loose. I tried to give them the opportunity to fix the problems and to consult with another roofer about the issues going on and he refused and said to take him to court. A judgment has been issued against him and have been told that they have done this to several people where we live. I would highly advise not hiring them for anything unless you want to have to pay for it to be redone again. I now have to replace my entire roof after 7 years when it should have lasted me at least 25 years! Apparently they aren't licensed as well even though homeadvisor states that they verify the proper licensing
- Grubb Engineering and Design, PCSame as above. Three calls over a two week time period, none of them were returned. Wasted my time.

"Expert House Movers brought a crew of 6-8 & came in late August 2013 to start the process of raising & moving the house. My husband had done all the prep work of disconnecting the utilities & removing the furnace, etc. They dug access ramps to the old foundation/basement with bobcats. They poked good sized holes around the foundation so they could put in steel beams and jack up the house. Our foundation was from 1917 & built from old creek gravel cement, so it was pretty tough. It took three & half days to jack the house & move it over the driveway. It seemed really fast to me. The only thing to fall in the house was a picture off the piano. We still had access to the house through a tall ladder to get clothes, etc. that we needed.
<br /> We took over the process of arranging excavation, concrete pouring, and carpenters with more local contractors. Expert does have concrete people & others they use in the St Louis area that know exactly the requirements needed for the new foundation.
<br /> After the basement was poured & cured (curing takes about 3-4 weeks), Expert returned in October 2013 to move & set the house. They had been in contact with the concrete man for specifications, but there were no slots for the beams when setting the house down. A concrete worker had to come & cut those slots. We had a carpenter on hand to finish the sill installment & make sure the sills for the permanent beams was correct & set the support posts in the basement. We also had a friend's tractor help Expert's bobcat pull the house back over the foundation. While all this was going on, Expert was jacking and moving supports & placing slider beams & raising & lowering the house. The process was complete in about 2 1/2 days with care & precision. Some of the cracks in our house even disappeared. Great job guys.
<br /> Our carpenters returned to build a staircase & some other requirements. We are working on re-connecting utilities & returning the furnace, water heater, etc. to the new basement. We plan to move back into the house in the first week or so in November 2013. It's been a long process, but well worth it. Made possible by Expert House Movers!
