R Walter Engineering, LLC

We were purchasing a home and during the inspection a very expensive structural issue was discovered. The seller agreed to fix and hire a licensed contractor for the repairs. 6 Days before closing the seller's contractor performs the repairs. I arrive at the job site 90 minutes after scheduled start to review the progress and no one is at the site. To my surprised, there are a few cosmetic repairs to hide the damage and other locations no work was even performed. I took pictures, a video and contacted my agent to ask what's going on. Late that evening I'm informed the seller and their contractor are saying all repairs are complete. 5 Days before closing, I'm scrambling for an experienced and licensed structural engineer to review the work performed and advise if repairs resolved structural issue. After spending half a day googling, researching reviews and calling engineers, I come across Bob. Bob was already booked out till mid afternoon Friday (We are closing Monday). So I schedule an appointment. Thursday morning, I reach out to Bob to see to see if there was anyway possible, if he could squeeze us in today. Lucky for us he had a cancellation and was able to make it out early afternoon. Bob arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule and had a very professional demeanor. Our agent and the sellers agent was on-site while Bob performed the inspection and handled the bombardment of questions from the seller agent like an experienced pro. Bob quickly assessed that the repairs were cosmetic and did not resolve the structural issue. He was able to communicate in common language what was needed to properly repair the problem and provided a written report a couple days later. From start to finish our experience with Bob has been fantastic and would highly recommend. FYI: The bids coming from qualified contractors to repair the structural problems are exceeding 20k. Thank you Bob for saving us from a nightmare.

it was so easy to work with Bob. had my plans in a few days!

Bob was prompt and easy to work with.

Worked with Bob to draw up structural plans for removing load-bearing columns from a garage. He was responsive, professional and timely. Pleased with the results.

Like the other reviewers, I found Mr. Walters to be very professional, knowledgeable and competent. My project was a bit complicated, but he went the extra mile to get it done - at a fair price. The written materials he produced were very impressive. I would definitely work with him again.

Robert was very professional. All his service costs were sent via email so there were no extra or hidden charges at the end of service. He was easy to contact and I always received a reply within 24 hours. Robert was very easy to work with and his price was very fair.

Very easy to work with and solution met my requirements! I would work with Bob again on a project.

We required a quick inspection of a roof repair prior to closing and Bob was extremely flexible and worked quickly with a very high quality product to turn over to our contractor for bid. I would highly recommend them and will use again if needed.

We were removing several interior walls to open up the area between the living and dining rooms. Mr Walters was prompt and courteous. He arrived on time, answered all our questions and sent us his recommendations. We are satisfied with the quality of service we received and would gladly recommend to others.

We surprisingly received the final report only two days after the structural inspection. I thought Mr. Walter was just going to look at the basement, but he checked the whole house, even the attic.

Prompt professional service.

Honest and very reponsive

Bob Walter did an excellent job performing a structural evaluation of a roof truss which was cut by the previous owners of a home my wife and I just purchased. The truss had apparently been cut in order to make room for installation of a pull-down attic access door and ladder without considering the structural implications of doing so. Scheduling with Bob was quick and easy, and after he visited the house to perform his evaluation, he delivered a very nice high quality certified report and repair drawing within a reasonable amount of time (and at a reasonable price). The repairs were relatively simple and inexpensive, and Bob was very responsive and helpful with all my questions that came up as I was performing the repair. Now we can rest assured our closet ceiling will not cave in and we will not have trouble selling the house in the future due to the cut truss. Bob is very skilled, professional, and courteous and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for similar services in the future.

was very knowledgeable.

Bob is very responsive and great to work with. He got out to look at scope of project quickly and delivered in the timeframe he originally told me.

thank you for the report

Prompt and through at a reasonable price.

Prompt response to request. Mr. Walter answered all my questions and explained his findings in an easy to understand manner.

Outstanding to work with! Great attitude and very knowledgeable. Robert was also excellent in explaining things and his report was clear and easy to understand. I would absolutely work with him again.

R Walter was prompt, and did a quick analysis of our request. The only thing was that he was a little late on his report, but delivered it quickly when I asked about it.

Bob's response time to my inquiry on HomeAdvisor, and the fact he was able to come to my house within a couple days and assess my situation was terrific. He knew exactly what to look for, explained things well, answered all my questions. He even followed up in asking me to take pictures of trusses where I had opened up holes in ceiling and walls, just to double-check and confirm his assessment. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

They were fast and efficient in his work

Service was great. Very professional and also helpful with questions between. I have already recommended him to others.

He was very attentive, listened well and provided report in timely manner
