They were very responsive via email communication, but it was nearly impossible to get through to them on the phone when we had more detailed questions and wanted to discuss in "real-time", though we did get everything arranged via email without issue. We had requested a Buyer's Inspection, Radon Inspection and Infrared Inspection. Turned out not all inspectors can do the Infrared Inspection, and our inspector would let us know if he "recommended" one to be done after he did the Buyer's Inspection, which would have to be done by another inspector, on another date. As we were under the wire to make a go/no-go decision on buying the home, we skipped the IR inspection. The request for the Radon Inspection must have gotten lost in the shuffle of email communications, as it was not performed (we were not charged for it, so no-harm, no-foul?). The Home Inspection was quite thorough, taking nearly 4 hours to inspect this 2600 sq ft split-entry (5 BR/3BA) suburban home. We were very comfortable with the inspector's (Duane Erickson) knowledge and experience. The Inspection Report amounted to 44 pages, with nearly 50 full color, high resolution photos embedded within it to highlight areas of concern, or to affirm areas that commonly have issues but were "OK" in this home. Alongside the actual photos taken of the home, were illustrations of how certain things "should" look or be constructed for comparison/reference. A large portion of the report was clearly boilerplate content, outlining proper building techniques and recommended maintenance and care, but this was helpful to us as buyers. The Structure Tech website also has additional reference content on all aspects of home construction, things to look out for, etc. which is a useful resource as we take on maintenance and repairs. For each area of the home inspected, there were comments as to the:
*function or lack thereof
*issues that would require immediate attention due to structural concerns, safety issues, or building code violations
*areas that would need to be periodically inspected to ensure that issues do not arise in the future
*areas that require regular maintenance and upkeep to prevent future issues
Despite the communication challenges and not getting all of the services performed that we were looking for, we are overall very pleased with the results of the inspection services performed by Structure Tech and the thoroughness of the inspection report. Using the report, we were able to negotiate in our favor additional concessions from the seller and have some key items addressed before closing on the house. We felt much more confident in purchasing 30+ year old home thanks to this inspection and report. Now, after nearly a month living in the house, we still have that same confidence. The cost of the inspection was well worth it.

Our home is over sixty years old. After consulting with an independent engineer about obvious foundation problems that had exisited for years, we contracted with Ace Pier and Beam to essentially rebuild the house from underneath. The work was extensive and took more than four weeks to complete. The cost was significant but we got what we paid for. The knowledge of older homes and the complexities of repairing them is not something I have found anywhere else. The owner, Mike, was very thorough in his communication and provided us with constant feedback on what was being done. Additional deterioration was found after work began and they were more than fair in pricing the additional work. The crew cleaned up completely every night after work was completed and left our property neat and clean at job's end. I would use this company again except that I don't anticipate any foundation problems for years to come, thanks to their good work!

Kent Tompkins was referred to me as the engineer that RS Foundations used for their foundation assessments. He showed up on time and billed a fair price for an engineer's report on the foundation but in no other way was this a positive experience.
If I had been more informed about subjects like post-tensioned concrete slabs, I likely would have turned him away before work began as his first comments showed his lack of knowledge on the subject. When the foundation contractor showed up (with alcohol on his breath) to "assist" with the report, it became clear that the engineer's report was going to be used as a sales tool instead of an unbiased report. To further reinforce this, Mr Tompkins sent his report to RS Foundations instead of the customer (me). Only after 2 requests did I actually receive my own copy to review.
Contact an independent engineer if you are considering foundation repair and I would not recommend including Kent Tompkins in your search."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/carrollton/tompkins-and-assoc-reviews-4120677.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"78 Backyard Concepts","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"TX","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"CLINTON C."},"reviewBody":"Great folks - VERY professional - very informative and REAL engineers.
