Get matched with top structural engineers in Chinatown, NY

"We had 2-3 years of constant road work as a result of storm Sandy (gas line and water line replacement) and there was a crack that expanded over time in the living area on the second floor. We needed to know if it was structural or cosmetic. Anthony arrived on time and began to examine the crack as well as take measurements to determine any significant changes. He was familiar with the land issues in this area, which I appreciated. He explained as he went along and also went to every room in the home and outside for any other evidence of cracks. He was extremely thorough in his inspection and advised how to correct the issue. In addition he also gave tips regarding procedures for any renovations on the property which was extremely helpful. There was a fee for the inspection and an additional fee for a written report. I would definitely hire again if I have any issues."

"Zach did plans for 2 homes for me and he did a wonderful job. One was a complete tear down and rebuild. He was meticulous with details and has true design talent. I would hire him again in a minute."

"Neil was thoughtful and took his time to look at everything we wanted to show him. As he looked around he also made verbal suggestions on things that needed to be fixed that was not necessarily a part of the structure of the house, but to be safe; that was appreciated."

"While the project I needed Scarano Architect for did not end up being necessary (so I ultimately did not need to hire them), they were incredibly responsive and proactive with my potential needs, talked me through what they could provide me, and quickly gave me a quote. I would definitely reach out to them again if I ever do need an engineer on a project!"

"Evan is a professional. He is readily available to answer any questions and works with you to get the project completed. In addition to a comprehensive list of drawings for my room enclosure, my Condo engineer asked 37 additional questions about the project. Evan took the time to answer these questions to their satisfaction and we were able to file for the DOB permit. He also suggested to us an expeditor AHT Expediting that worked out very well and everything went as planned. I highly recommend Evan Wiskup."
