We hired Dave to look at our house(2/2019) before removing a load bearing wall, and are extremely happy with the structural integrity of our home after following his advice. He gave us a detailed plan that was easy to follow, and we were able to meet our goals with his knowledge. He was very professional and easy to work with.

Structural analysis was simple and well explained. Was approved, we will have the city inspection soon. I’m sure it will pass. Everything looks great. Thank you!

The knowledge of Mr. David Arnsdorf regarding structural engineering was excellent. He arrived on time as scheduled, which was appreciated. In fact, he accommodated me with a schedule time change with relative short notice. After agreeing on a price during the initial consultation, which was five hours at $125.00 per hour, I discovered Mr. Arnsdorf had raised the price to six hours at $125.00 per hour without any advance notice or explanation on his invoice. After several unanswered e-mails regarding the unexpected price increase, I was finally informed by Mr. Arnsdorf that the extra time charged was due to the fact that he needed the extra time to design my job, so it would be easier for me complete the work. It would have been better had he explained the price was not final and could go up in advance at the outset of our initial consultation. In fact, when Mr. Arnsdorf found it necessary to raise the price, he could have at least explained why in his invoice or informed me via e-mail or telephone call, which would have helped avoid the confusion and minor dissension that followed. Overall, I would recommend Mr. Arnsdorf for your structural engineering needs, just beware that the price could change from the initial quote.

David was easily reachable, flexible to schedule, (understanding of our inspection timeline), and clear on pricing. He evaluated the house structure from the basement and living level, addressed all of our questions, and took us around the outside of the house to let us know tips of what we could do to mitigate any potential long-term risks. Very happy with his service, knowledge, and report.

we bought a house last year and over the winter we noticed what could have been some foundation issues . David came out the next day after we called him. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He set our minds at ease and his suggestions for changes to the property will keep our home safe from damage.

We had some structural challenges with a large remodeling project and hired David because we were getting all kinds of competing information from builders. He was absolutely fabulous. The best money we've spent so far.
