"Alex did a great job with structural plans submitted to the city of Austin for permitting. Job was a complex roof reconfiguration. They completed everything quickly and made all appointments on time. Highly recommended!!"
"My wife and I were very pleased with Balal - prompt, professional, extremely detail oriented. He walked us through every step of the process and treated us like a true customer - not just a number. I would recommend Balal for any structural engineering needs - design, review, recommendation."
"It was a good experience during the 2 days inspection. The problem was that I was never told that the price of the inspection did not included a written report. I found out after calling inquiring why the engineer had not called back and not answering my call which she said she would do as soon as she completed the report. After calling multiple times for the engineer to call me back (as she said she would), it never happened even after speaking with the person in charge. So please make sure you ask what is included with the quoted price."
"Excellent job! Josiah preformed the inspection and was very professional - he identified areas in need of repair, and explained to me the results of his inspection during a walk through of the areas in need of repair. The final written report was very professional and issued promptly. I highly recommend Crosstown Engineering. Well worth the cost of the inspection."
"They were very prompt. We hired them to inspect the foundation of our home and certify it has not structural problems. They confirmed it did not putting it in writing for the future."
"Mr. Deavers returned my call promptly and was transparent on the cost of evaluating my townhouse building structure. He made an appointment with me within a couple of days. He was very professional and was reasonable on the value of his services for the money I paid Deavers Engineering, LLC.."
"RT Construction did an excellent job. My house flooded and the whole downstairs had to be remodeled. RT construction stayed in communication with me regarding what was being done and when each step would be completed. The workers showed professionalism the whole time. I was very very please with the result. The house looked new and the remodel looked better than what the original builder did. Mr. Turner always followed up to make sure everything was going well. I would 100% recommend RT Construction to anyone. It was the quality of the work that pleased me a lot. Great company and great owner."
"Greg was an absolute professional who knows his job well. He completed the work I requested from him faster than I expected. I would recommend him to anyone needing structural and blue prints work done."
