They assessed project, did preliminary design, got helical pile subcontractor. We paid for soil and test drilling, and for topological survey as requested. The sub contractor hired to do scaffolding never did it, so we had to arrange that. So after 4 months of all the prep and 3 or 4 site visits by the engineer, we were ready to go. They never produced the design. After 2 months of emailing and calling we never got a single response. So we were out a couple grand engineering fee, and lost the entire build season. Had to start all over. (This was for a collapsing Livingroom on piers, so it was kind of urgent.) Trying to decide if it is worth going to small claims court to recover our feet. But the big problem is it just did not get done and the engineer just ghosted us, very unprofessional.
Response from

"This review is for work in 2018 and is untruthful and false. Client stop responding to our calls. We have no history of emails or voicemail follow up from them. We performed a site visit after we had no response from the client and found illegal, dangerous and improper work started without permits and not according to any engineering drawings or instructions we provided."

Greg is very professional and has great customer service skills. We hired him to do a structural inspection for a home we are looking to purchase. He gave us a detailed report within 24 hours after asking him for an expedited report (typically 5 days). He teamed up great with the other home inspectors and really helped us understand his findings. Would highly recommend his serives

Greg worked closely with us to identify and understand several structural issues on a home we were purchasing. Ultimately, Gregs expertise allowed us to identify issues that the town inspectors and our home inspector did not flag, but which were critical issues that would have become major problems down the road. Greg went above and beyond with his time, assisting the contractor in proper implementation of the repairs and continually flagging issues when they arose during the work. We would highly recommend Gregs services for new or seasoned home buyers conducting structural repairs on their home.

Amazing!!! It was a great experience with Greg. His charges are very reasonable and affordable and don’t even think twice to go with him. He is amazing at his job, he explained me the report in very much detail and the best possible solution to fix those problems. He pointed out things which my Home Inspector missed completely, even though my Home Inspector did a great job too. I will highly recommend Greg for any Structural Inspection or Structural drawings. Thanks Greg!

Not a great salesman, and modest about his skills, but once he is at the job site, he really does know his stuff. (I'm a retired Registered Professional Engineer (Mechanical), and often worked with Structural Engineers like Greg on major Industrial buildings).

Greg was very thorough and spent close to 3 hours going over the different areas of my house that needed attention. He took numerous measurements and photographs and took the time to explain to me exactly what was going on so I could intelligently convey it to the contractors. He also provided a written report with photographs, although that was a little delayed. He also made me feel that I can follow up with questions if need be as the project progresses. I would definitely recommend Greg and SEAS.

He was on time and very professional. I also appreciated the fact that he took his time and sometimes reexamined an area that he already looked at. He was patient and explained what he saw and provided me with clear recommendations. For instance, he recommended extending my drainage tubes so the water flows away from the house. I checked a few other companies and his price was reasonable.

Greg contacted me me right away and was able to squeeze my inspection in under short notice. He was prompt, professional, informative and thorough. Pricing was very good. I received the final report sooner than promised. I would recommend SEAS for sure.
