"This was a small project involving an empty condo and I decided to try a new measurement technology and it did work very well and sent this project spiraling. I accept the bad job was trying to improve the quality of the data collection"
Owner, Louis, arrived on time. Walked through our house to survey the current condition. Easy going conversation as we asked questions and Louis answered to our satisfaction. Questions were regarding sagging floor and how to jack up, support and repair/replace floor joists and rotted flooring that had been cut to accommodate improperly installed plumbers box after a major leak which happened many years before we purchased the house.
Louis also made recommendations for safe removal of a short section of load bearing wall planned for future renovation and how to add support beam. Finally, he evaluated the condition of a basement cinderblock wall that is being pushed in by an old cement patio slab poured around a tree that of course has grown larger over many years.
We were happy to know that our house, even with all its issues, was in better shape that we imagined. Basically well built, good bones.
Our only disappointment was that Louis didn't write any of these recommendations down for us to refer to later. For $400 we think this should have been included. We don't know if it was an oversight or if it would have been provided if we had thought to ask. Didn't think of it until later because we were caught up in conversation and other questions. All in all a positive experience.
"I do not recall ever hearing from this client based on the name and address but I do get a lot of calls and occasionally calls fall through the cracks. I am sorry I did not call her back and would have gladly helped her. I hope she found someone to provide the service she needs"
"I am sorry that this customer was not happy with how the job she wanted turned out. First she was not the homeowner. Second other than stating that if a minor repair to fix the structural problem was what was needed I would add a plan the price for the report is always up front. I provided info on a possible solution but the solution is a new technology that I am not yet knowledgable on and I presented as such. I wish the law allowed me to present her with the plans but I gave a description of the repair that she could have asked a contractor to price out."
