While working on purchasing a home, I needed a quick and thorough review of some items of concern before closing on the house. Criterium's engineers and representatives were responsive, professional, and thorough. They took time to explain things in terms I could understand and they went above and beyond to respond on short notice.

Matthew was great! He was able to schedule my inspection and quickly turn around a WELL WRITTEN report that included practical solutions. For the eye of an experienced engineer and a quality inspection, I would definitely recommend Criterium Cincinnati.

I had a wonderful experience with Criterium-Cincinnati. Matthew Klein (PE) was really great to work with. He was exceptionally professional and personable. His inspection was thorough, and he answered every question I had, explaining everything clearly and making sure I understood. The official report was right on time and was very comprehensive. I feel much more confident about my decision on this property because of my experience with Criterium-Cincinnati.

The inspector was on time and very knowledgeable. I feel he gave a thorough inspection and evaluation of the retaining wall and patio area that we had some concerns about for a home we are under contract to purchase. The price was higher than I would have thought for a short inspection of a limited area, however, the inspector gave some value added time by walking around the house with me and pointing out some other areas of concern and recommendations.

My realtor recommended I hire this company to have a crack in the basement of the house I was buying. This was to get approval for FHA standards. The engineer came promptly and issued the needed report with 24 hours.

We were very impressed with Matt and Criterium Engineering. He was thorough and clearly explained everything. We were very glad we had them out for the inspection and I wish we had known about them when we did our general home inspection.

Response from Criterium-Cincinnati Engineers
"We were hired to perform a structural inspection of this home because it was being financed with a FHA -backed loan. These loans have guidelines for such inspections. FHA wants to make sure that homes for which it backs loans are safe. I personally have done nearly 3000 of these inspections. Unfortunately, I get clients like Ms. [Member Name Removed] who do not understand the purpose of this inspection. I also often get clients who believe that because their manufactured home has not had a structural issue, it is safe. I would rather that my clients not find out that the home is not safe. I believe that I provided the service that I was paid to do. I also feel better knowing that if Ms. [Member Name Removed] had the repairs done that I required, her home is now a safer home. Quite frankly, that one reason that I do what I do."
