Isbon Engineering & Associates

Great service and would highly recommend. He is extremely thorough and will let you know what issues, if any, you have with your foundation. Will NOT tell you something is wrong when nothing is wrong.

David is knowledgeable and did great job with the inspection

Great process. At the initial contact we setup an appointment for the next day. David arrived on time and listened to our questions. He then took a lot of measurements. We have a 50 years old house so things were a little saggy in places. What we really wanted to know if some interior cracks were related to foundation problems and how to approach fixing the interior cracks. We found that we did have one corner of our house sagging a bit but not bad enough to do anything about it right away. Any foundation repair would likely induce other problems like broken plumbing which we didnt need. David spent a lot of time talking to us, much more than we expected. Great guy with a lot of information about the local area.

David, was professional, prompt and responsive including after the report. He responded to our calls and emails while considering our remediation plan. Highly recommend David!. He also has very strong positive feedback from contractors.

The tile in our breakfast room buckled/tented. Before we had the tile repaired, wanted to know if the problem was due to foundation problems or bad tile installation. David tested the foundation level and inspected the house inside and out and determined that the foundation is sound and no work needs to be done on it. The problem was how the tile was installed without the needed expansion joints required to let the tile "float" with the slab as it expands and contracts. David could not have been more professional or exact in checking the foundation. He provided a written report with drawings explaining what he found and his conclusions/recommendations. This is the second time David has checked out a house for us. The first house needed foundation work and his report showed very clearly where the pillars needed to be placed in order to correct the problem with as few pillars as possible which minimized our cost. While you might not like what he finds during his inspection, David could not be easier or more professional to work with. If you have questions about whether or not you really need very expensive foundation work done, David is the man you want to have check it out for you first. Highly recommend David to anyone thinking they may need foundation work done.

On time, professional

It went just terrific.

Excellent, David saved us money, time & lots of frustrations. He helped us to make a wise home purchase. The 1st two homes had foundation issues which we didn't realize how bad they were, the 3rd home he gave ups the thumbs up. We've been in the house 4 yrs with no foundation issues.

David was very punctual, extremely professional and friendly. He determined that we did not have issues that would require any foundation piers, but recommended that we have root barriers installed to address our issues.

Great! David is a super nice guy. He spent all the time he needed around and under my house to inspect it. His wife emailed me his completed Engineer Report and Repair Plan within a couple of days. I had much less issues than I thought I did. Money well spent!

Was trying to ascertain condition of foundation drainage after observing mortar failure around house. Decided to hire Isbon Engineering again to evaluate the condition of my foundation prior to attempting any other changes. I had contracted with David Isbon in 2014 to evaluate my foundation after having sewer pipe replacement in 2008 just to make sure it was still stable following discovering minor cracks in my drywall. Just as last time: -David was a little early -We discussed the reason for the evaluation -He quickly measured the condition of the foundation -We discussed the results of the measurement and his observations -He left and told me the results would be emailed to me shortly -True to his word, his report arrived the next day and detailed his verbal results Now I can contract someone to tuck point my failing mortar.

Mr. Isbon showed up right on time and was very calm cool and collected. He inspected the house both underneath (pier and beam) and inside and out. It was encouraging to learn that the house wasn't about to fall down around our heads. He sat down at the dining room table and discussed various options with us and what he thought what should and could be done. Cost came to $450.00, much cheaper then other outfits.

Easy appointment scheduling, prompt appearance. Shared lot's of knowledge, quick turn-around on results/report.

Excellent! David was very professional, courteous, and prompt. He examined my foundation and provided his professional opinion and report as a Registered P.E.

Davis was very knowledgeable, efficient, & professional. He went over all his findings & recommendations, as well as explained all the requirements & processes involved in foundation repair. Also had him come back out after repairs for follow-up evaluation to make sure repairs were done correctly & house was sound. I believe having his expert evaluations saved me from much more expense & inconvenience, as well as gave me piece of mind. Both evaluations totaled $400, but well worth it. Highly recommended vendor.

Mr. Isbon arrived at the scheduled time and went throughout the house taking measurements. When he concluded we looked at some issues he noted and then went over a rough schematic that he converted to a professional computerized image showing variations in the levels of the foundation throughout the house; the image accompanied a detailed report that he provided within 24 hours of his appointment. He concluded that the variances were within norms and recommended that no work be done. David was very personable and professional in his site visit. We highly recommend him for home evaluations where buying or determining repair needs.

Excellent, prompt, detailed, and trustworthy.

Very well He same in and explained what he was going to do. Very calm and quiet. He did a complete assessment with measurements of the outside and then did the same in the inside going in every room and testing every door. Then he sat with us and gave us his recommendation. I am so grateful to him as he made us understand why we only needed to do partial solution; he explained in our area it would not make sense to do a total foundation repair. We are so happy with his recommendations and then he gave us 2 referrals which we plan to call and interview. Best money we have spent!

David was AWESOME!!!!!! The inspection went really well!!!!!! Before he even stared the inspection David explained in great detail what the inspection was going to included. I had cracks on my walls and doors not closing properly for years in my house. I had two separate foundation companies tell me two different things. I chose Isbon because the price was great and I really needed to find out what the true problem was. I was actually going to spend $600 later on that week on gutters because I was told that would help with the foundation issues. David said I would receive his report/recommendations in three days and I did. Come to find out I didn't have foundation issues after all. My problem was a huge tree in my back yard that was too close to my house. David recommended that I remove this tree and put a root barrier around a tree I have on the side of my house. David was very professional and knowledgeable.

used his plan for repairs

Very good. Realistic. Explains situations well.

Excellent. David showed up on time and was in and out within two hours as we were told. He examined the house inside and out taking exact measurements. At the end he promised and delivered the next day a written report telling us the verdict on the foundation. For us, good news in that we do not have structural issues, just settling after 24 years. He is a professional in every sense of the word and we are appreciative for his expertise.

Can't recommend Mr. Isbon enough. He is a consummate professional and gave a very honest assessment of the foundation. Very deserving of the Super Service Award he was given. I called him on a Friday a month after the inspection (after he'd already sent the report and some drawings) with some additional questions. Not only did he spend the time to thoroughly answer them, he whipped up some additional drawings and sent them to me Monday morning at no cost. That's great service.

We found Isbon Engineering on Angie's List and called, David Isbon agreed to come over as soon as he finished his other appointments on Saturday. He took measurements, helped us to understand what those measurements meant, and talked to us about the options we had. Based on his guidance, we moved forward with completing the flooring installation without putting in more piers, but did take down a tree which was potentially impacting the foundation. It was such a relief to have an expert whom we could trust. We would highly recommend him!

Everything went great!!!!! David arrived on time, I was the only that was actually running late. He had performed an inspection of the outside while he waited for me. He told me in detail what his inspection consisted of. He also explained what to expect from him when he was finished. Well after years of thinking I had foundation issues and several foundation inspections by two different companies, David assured me that I truly didn't have foundation issues. In fact, he saved me $600 because I was going to have gutters installed around my house thinking that would help the foundation issues. He told me the huge tree that's just a few feet away from the back of the house was causing the issue. He suggested I remove it and put a root barrier by a tree that's on the side of my house. I received a complete, detailed e-mail from him three days later (like he said I would) explaining his findings and recommendations. David was truly professional and informative. He was a pleasure to talk to. We talked at least 20 minutes after he finished his inspection. I understand why he has an A rating.
