Everstead

Our house had some major settling issues with the garage and two attached rooms on concrete slabs. I contacted 3 foundation companies for bids. After 2 companies gave me bids I was so confused on what they were proposing and on the prices they were quoting, I turned to Google to try to take a crash course on piering and foundation repair. The advice I found on Google was even more confusing except for one recurring suggestion: Hire an independent Professional Engineer (PE) to evaluate the structural problems in the home to advise me on the best way to fix the problems with the foundation. I did another Google search for local companies doing such an evaluation and came across Everstead which had great reviews and history. I hired them to help me decide how to fix our issues. Jeremiah, my PE, was terrific! He measured settling all throughout the house, suggested the best solutions to fix the problems I had with three areas of the house, and was extremely patient with my questions and answered all in a way I could understand. His evaluation visit was about 3 hours long. After he left I had a plan of action that I took back to the foundation contractors to revise their bids by adding some things and taking away some things. The bottom line is Jeremiah saved me a lot of money on work not necessary at this time, on things that weren't a priority now but might be in the future, and on the best methods to fix our various issues. Jeremiah also answered several questions on several occasions after talking to my three companies about his recommendations. That REALLY helped because one company balked on some of his suggestions and another had different approaches that didn’t quite match his approach. His evaluation and answers to my questions after getting feedback on his evaluations from my selected companies helped me decide on which company to select, not by name, but by that company’s solution which more closely matched his suggestions. I highly recommend getting a PE and I highly recommend Everstead!!!!! P.S. –Jeremiah was totally an independent advisor to me. He had heard of the companies but never gave me an opinion on them as a company or which to choose. He only provided a PE’s advice on the best way to fix our problems

Excellent attention to detail, Kim is very thorough. I highly recommend!

Went great! Brad was helpful and professional. He answered all our questions, clearly explained what was going on with our foundation, and laid out exactly what was needed to fix it. He also told us what we didn't need, which saved us thousands in unnecessary repairs. So happy that we brought him in!

Brad was awesome and potentially saved us several thousand dollars with his recommendations of how to address the water issues in our basement. Very professional and knowledgeable.

Awesome, very happy! Nice people, very family oriented.

It all went very well.

Brad was incredibly professional, personable, and very thorough. He spent probably 30 minutes after he finished inspecting the house to answer my questions (and I had a lot of them). He was honest about his recommendations and explained exactly what was causing some of the sloping in the floor. I then received the complete stamped report the next afternoon. Would absolutely use their services again!

Very well. The engineer was knowledgeable and professional.

Great they give you a letter with the stamp to get your building permit

We were able to schedule Brad to come out on relatively short notice. Brad was punctual and professional throughout and delivered the report a few days later.

Job was completed as requested.

Brad the engineer was extremely knowledgeable and professional.  He explained things well and was very honest with us.  He even gave us some advice on some foundation issues we are having.  I would highly recommend Residential Engineering and specifically Brad.
