The report was thorough and detailed and included photos and a scale rendering of my job. Neal's explanation was easy to understand and he answered all my questions. He gave me a straightforward appraisal of my situation without trying to 'sell' me something. I would easily recommend.

Neal was great. There were several variables that popped up after he sent me the initial plans for removing a load bearing wall. I had to reach out to Neal more times than he would've probably liked, but he was all over it, and he got me exactly needed. I would hire him again in a minute.

Neal worked quickly to help me plan for a support wall removal after a water damage incident. He was great with communication and letting me know my options. The drawings were completed faster than I was expecting as well.

This man seemed very professional, but I was somewhat dissatisfied with two things; 1) he told me after the inspection he would recommend businesses to do any or all repairs. I clarified this would include interior damage caused by the potential structural damage and he agreed. This was not the case. I felt like this was part of the service I paid for, since it was agreed upon prior to me contracting him. When I brought this to his attention, he stated he would not recommend anyone, and that I should check with the BBB for contractors to do the work. This just was not acceptable; however, I had already paid him in full, so there's little I could do. 2) he recommend a beam be removed under my sink area. This beam had recently been installed by another structural engineer hired by my association. I had two other companies agree that the beam should be placed there to prevent sagging under my kitchen counters. I inquired about this beam and asked if he was sure it should be removed. He did not care to elaborate, but only suggested that it be removed. You would think a detailed explanation would be possible, as this man is not inexpensive. Anyway, he seemed very detailed, and he was polite, but I would have hoped he would have fulfilled the terms he agreed upon prior to receiving payment. If I had to hire another structural engineer, I would not hire him again for this reason.

Neal was very practical, did not try to upsell us at all. He educated us on the issue we called about (cracked rafters) so that we understood our home better. Then he explained the type of tradesman we needed and gave us the specs for the tradesman to follow. Then came back to inspect the work and certify our roof as being in good shape should we ever go to sell the house. Overall, a very good experience.

I was so happy to find Neal at R4 Engineering. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. I just moved into a beautiful, grand, historic 100 year old home in East Nashville. But there are real floor issues from the house settling over time. I was concerned about proceeding with a renovation of this magnitude, until I knew what the extent and cost of repair could entail. In one visit Neal addressed all the structural concerns, and gave me a game plan. I would highly recommend R4Engineering to others embarking on a similar renovation. Thanks Neal!

Our neglected property needed a lot of work. He was able to clearly see the problems and organize the recommendations in a clear and thoughtful manner. His report was prompt and substantive. I especially liked his kind and thoughtful manner. His report has empowered us to repair our home.
Neil was great to work with! Very professional, on-time, and gave us exactly the information we needed, and the price was very fair.

Neil was very prompt and thorough. After getting the run around from 2 other companies that costed time and money, Neil researched our issues and provided the information and documentation that was needed to get the project back on track. I will be using Neil from this point on.
