"I highly recommend Huneke Engineering. They are very honest and know what they are doing. They saved me a lot of money when a foundation company tried to bid me something that didn’t even need to be done. ALWAYS get a second opinion! I started noticing cracks around my windows in my living room. The windowsill was visibly not level and when I put a level on it, the bubble was very far to the left. I have a bowed foundation wall directly below my living room which has been stabilized by wall anchors before I moved into my house 9 years ago. Long story short. I needed to replace my foundation sill on the bowed wall. You can feel the sill from the outside and it’s hanging off the wall, so all the floor joists were not sitting at the same level. The first structural engineer that I hired before Huneke didn’t even notice this. The company that installed the wall anchors said that my right side of my house was sinking and they gave me a bid for $7,000 to install 5 foundation piers. I asked them if we should use a laser level to be sure and the guy said he used one on the outside of the house. I was with the guy most of the time and was only away from him for a few minutes. There is no way he used a laser level. You are supposed to use the laser level on the inside of the house anyways in the basement for a better measurement. They also said they felt a slope walking into the master bedroom. Liars! I called around trying to find a structural engineer who would be willing to use a laser level in my basement to confirm if the right side of my house is sinking or not and most of the companies I called said they did not do laser levels. The engineers at Huneke Engineering said they could use a laser level so I hired them. They used the laser level in my basement and showed me that the right side of the house is NOT sinking. It’s in code. They noticed my floor joists were uneven. Some of them only measured 3/4 of an inch between the foundation wall and the floor joist, when they should all be at an inch in a half. They also pointed out that my original sill was hanging off the foundation wall on the outside. You can’t see it because of the siding, but you can feel it and see it with a camera. They recommended I jack up my house and place a new pressure treated 2x4 on top of the foundation wall as the sill replacement. They said it was ok to leave the old one on there. They took plenty of time to explain everything to me as I had a lot of questions, so I really appreciated that. I first got a bid from a company to replace the sill but they wanted to charge me $4,000 and I couldn’t afford it at that time. They did use a laser level in my basement and said the right side of my house is NOT sinking. That is two separate companies who confirmed the right side of my house is NOT sinking, so ALWAYS get a second opinion! I installed the new foundation sill with my brother-in-law and his cousin. It required 3 bottle jacks but we got it done and all of the floor joists sit at the same level. The window in the living room is a little more level. It's not perfect, but it's more level than before. Thanks, Huneke Engineering, for your recommendation to replace the foundation sill and for your honesty!"

"I was playing around on HomeAdvisor looking for a structural engineer around 8PM and within a couple of minutes Dr. G called my phone. He was very professional and at the end of the conversation he texted me his information to contact his Administrator in the morning. I called Heather and had an appointment to meet with Dr G at he house that same day at 2PM. I arrived on time and he was already there looking at the outside of the foundation. He was able to answer all my questions and reassure me that the house would be a good purchase, but also recommended work that needed to be done most likely in the future. We had our letters from him written that same day and we were done with everything in less that hour. If you are buying a house and are concerned about the foundation, I highly recommend Dr. G. He works for the buyer and makes sure you know everything and every problem that might arise in the future with your new home purchase."

"Two years ago my wife and I noticed that our foundation was beginning to settle.  We had huge cracks in the dry-wall and our front door wasn't opening and closing properly. We decided to contact Advanced Foundation Repair and Replacement, owner Frank Matyiko.  He got a structural engineer to our house.  The engineer recommended that we needed twelve piers in order to fix our foundation.  the entire construction project went as planned.  Advance Foundation provided us with a transferable warranty in case we decided to sell our home. 
The overall experience was wonderful their crew was very professional and we would use them again and recommend them to anyone!!

"I cannot speak for the company as a whole (they are headquartered in St Louis), and I have yet to receive their official report (which is to come from their home office). But the engineer himself clearly knew his subject matter, was highly observant and even addressed my drainage issues (water management being his specialty), a tangential topic. I liked the man very much."

"Contractor was very professional.  Great communication, returned calls promptly and met appointments on schedule.  Work was completed within a very reasonable timeframe, earlier than expected.  Work was done above expectations, especially carpentry on back  porch.  
Contractor was very familiar and experienced with particular construction and common problems with the houses in the area.
Explained what needed to be done and made very helpful suggestions as to what should be done by the contractor and what could be done by home owner.  Along with making suggestions on how to save money on the projects and what to do to make the home last.  
Very pleasant experience.  Would definitely work with them in the future."

"The job was done very professionally, with excellent results. The worker was quite friendly and professional and explained everything quite nicely.  He included the hall leading to one of the rooms as part of the package, which I thought was nice of him.  All in all, I was quite pleased with the results."
