Area Engineering, Inc.

Very knowledgeable i just thought it was a little pricey.

Faster response time, flexible, great customer service.

Professional, courteous, explains to you exactly what the issue is, if any, and explains your options for your home if necessary.

The work was done well. Bre prepared to expand the SOW if other problems are found once walls or ceilings are exposed.

Have proposal which easily confuses, also found confict of interest as they have their own construction company want make everything defective.

Very happy with their availability in a time-crunched situation. They were friendly and professional. Thank you!

They were prompt and gave great expert advise on a foundation crack and remediation needed.

Had heaving in the basement, concrete floor is cracked, and I was worried about a possible collapse. Area techs came out examined the structure and put my mind at ease. They were prompt and answered all my questions. Now I'm deciding whether to remove entire floor and pour a new one this year or next.

I will continue to use them, very prompt and professional!

Greg is supe. Answer the calls or call back in no time and price is so reasonable.

Very responsive easy to make an appointment and they showed up on time. I would use them again

I had some structural worries about a home I recently acquired and Greg completed a 2+ hour inspection, answered all of my questions, and gave me some great, honest advice about my concerns. I would recommend Area to anyone who needs good advice about any structural concerns on a property.

I needed someone in the NE to help me with a project to do a load calc for a project. I currently have one I use in other States. They were able to do the site visit and meet me which was very important to me. They were flexible with my time. They did a load calculation and advise on the structural support and work that would be needed. After advising the scope of work I agreed to have them do the work and it came in on target with the proposal. Last they cleaned up after their work!

Satisfied!

Very happy.

We requested that Greg perform a structural assessment of our rowhouse. Over the phone he said to plan for up to three hours. When he arrived, he immediately made a comment about how he wouldn't want to live in Mount Vernon. It also surprised us when he asked where we wanted him to start, since we expected expert guidance from him. He looked at the outside of the house for a few minutes, then went into the bottom story where our tenants live. He brushed off one tenant's concerns about cracks in the walls, and very obviously noticed a picture of our (male) tenants together, who have been married for about 11 years. At that point, he almost immediately exited the bottom floor WITHOUT EVEN GOING INTO THE BASEMENT. He came up to the floor where we (the owners) live, and without looking at any of the other floors, proceeded to imply that our house is about to fall down and we should immediately start looking for a new place to live. He said it would be cost-prohibitive to repair the home, but when he gave us a ballpark figure (which it was like pulling teeth to get him to give), it was an amount many people could afford. We had to talk him into going to the other floors to complete the inspection, for which he still charged us full price, despite maybe 15 min of actual work. He never took any notes or measured anything. As he ran my credit card, he asked if we subscribed to the "family sacrificial plan" which turned out to be an extremist Christian philosophy (try Googling "sacrificial love"). We asked him to stop, which he did, and he left soon after. We found his behavior extremely unprofessional. Since we found it hard to believe that this minimal once-over is what an engineering assessment should consist of, we hired a different engineer for a second opinion. This engineer completed a THOROUGH assessment, starting in the basement, and recognized many issues but nothing that would cause us to move out immediately. This confirmed our suspicion that Greg was utterly unprofessional. His "services" were a huge waste of money and we not only didn't receive what we paid for, but we were approached with an unwelcome religious agenda.

Did not hire but was going to. Insurance company's contractor stepped in at the last minute. Will be willing to work with this team on future projects.

I was happy with them scheduling and addressing my issues promptly.

Master at his work. very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Very professional, left a good impression. He told me what was done, and how to correct any problems in the future.

Greg did a thorough structural review of a property i was considering. He explained his inspection and observations to me (not an engineer) as he was doing the evaluation in terms i understood. he sent his report within 24 hours. great knowledge and service.

We removed a load bearing wall. Greg came out to do the inspection and analysis necessary to have the correct beam size, length, etc. to be structurally sound. He was friendly, honest, and described what needed to be done should we do the work ourselves. We decided to hire Area Eng. for the work in addition to the analysis. Darryl is a great guy, and allowed us to jump in and help with the work to reduce the cost. We are VERY pleased with the result, and would recommend this company to anyone.
