Get matched with top structural engineers in Bailey S Crossroads, VA

"Peter Neubauer was very professional, explained his findings clearly and wrote a report on his findings for me to submit to a contractor's insurance co."

"My gratitude for Residential Engineering Solutions (RES) is sky high. Matt Rudy was most kind, professional and thorough in getting to the bottom of my problem. Multiple interior cracks have slowly been growing in size along the same wall in my house on both the first and second floors. It turns out the southeast corner of the two-story addition added in October, 2013, has vulnerability to a downward gravitational pull mimicking the topography of the street I live on. There is a creek at the bottom of my street which sets up a gentle but persistent downward pull toward the creek. To stop the interior wall cracks from growing the foundation under this corner of the house needs re-enforcement. More importantly, RES has given me, in writing, proof that this problem has been identified and will be resolved (soon) before I put my house on the market, whenever that may happen. Finally, after Matt toured the interior and exterior of my house, I was reminded of one of my favorite all-time movies starring Tom Hanks and Shelly Long called The Money Pit. A classic laugh-out-loud movie from the 1980s based on home renovations that never end, working with inspectors and contractors. Matt and I shared a good laugh."

"We needed a structural engineer to inspect the foundation of a home that we are purchasing and were recommended to contact Kemp. We are so glad that we did. Greg provided first class service. He was thorough and took the time to explain each step that he was taking, the purpose behind it, the potential results and what each could mean, and finally the actual results. He also took the time to educate us on some of the basic indicators of good and deficient or damaged home foundations. He was very personable and is great at making complex information simple enough for novices to understand. He also provided the inspection report almost immediately. We highly recommend Greg and his company’s services."

"The work is fine. We had two full baths remodeled. They began in late June and ended just after labor day. There were days and even weeks when no work was done at all. In fact one bathroom was demolished, and then sat for at least one week... There did not seem to be good communication among staff and each person who came to do work did not know what the other had done. One anecdote is that the electrician swore he had connected the light switch for a light in the laundry room. I was standing with the project manager and we were turning the switch on and off with no light going on while the electrician is on the phone at another job, swearing he had connected the light. The upshot of the whole fiasco was that it was not until I threatened writing to the BBB and online reviews that the owner got involved and then we were able to get to completion. Again - the work is ok. We have had to call on the 5 year warranty given to us a couple times to get small items repaired. But the lack of customer service and organization through the whole ordeal was not worth it."
