LUKOFF ENGINEERING ASSOC

In October 2023, I hired this company to determine the condition of the foundation and repairs made, and to determine what other repairs, if any, are required. Their report, provided without photos, included only general recommendations and stated that everything was stable. In October 2024, as I prepared to make upgrades, several general contractors informed me that the main beams supporting the house were completely rotted and needed replacement. I then consulted a contractor specializing in structural repairs, who confirmed this assessment. After learning this, I contacted Lukoff Engineering to request a follow-up inspection. On October 22, 2024, Mr. Lukoff and his associate, Vinnie, visited my residence and informed me I would receive an update within 24–48 hours. However, as of today, November 10, 2024, I have yet to hear back. Despite multiple calls, emails, and voicemails asking for an update, I have received no response. Eventually, I requested only the photos from the October 2023 inspection, which I paid for, as well as any photos taken during their recent visit, if available. I should have done my due diligence by reading some google reviews before hiring them as they are doing the same thing they did to many others.... Please steer clear of this company.

I hired Rich to do a job for me , we agreed on a price , I was on a deadline , was promissed we would make it we didnt , when he finally did get plans , he bumped me $800 dollars day before I was to pick up plans , he had me ,I need plans so I had to pay . Plans needed revision , I took plans to twp engineer , he gave me all detailed revisions for Rich to easily do , missed two more meetings waiting for plans , when I finally did get them he gave me 15 copies of Plans that were not to twp specs, STAY AWAY . AND 0 COMMUNICATION , NONE I TRIED TEXT , EMAIL CELL PHONE BUSINESS PHONE.

Rich came out and did an inspection for a structural issue at a rental property. He showed up on time and made his evaluations. It then took over 2 months and repeated requests for him to produce the report. After finally receiving the report I had contractors come out to do an estimate to make the repairs. Both contractors disagreed with his report and thought more work was needed to be done to do the repairs properly. When I questioned Rich on this he said it's possible that he could be wrong and that he would be willing to meet with a contractor onsite to go over the job. After another five weeks and numerous unreturned emails and phone calls and I finally gave up and decided to move forward with the project without any further consultation from Rich.
Rich is a very nice person, but I would not recommend doing business with him.

They were prompt and professional.
