Chris came to advise and measure for a drainage system and was incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful about the project. His expertise and experience is valuable to us. In addition, we have to commend him for previous work. He is completed on our property on foundation work, including a retrofit. We will always have Chris come to the rescue. Way to go Chris. read more

Aldo had a break in his schedule and came and gave the house the once over with a smile. Clean and thorough, I recommend him, and Alpha Structural for your structural concerns. read more

Alpha is Super Duper Expensive, make sure you get other bids. That said, Alpha does provide quality work.

Aldo was awesome. Even though I didn't end up doing construction with Alpha (nothing to do with them), Aldo still treated me like a customer. Being helpful even if you might not win the contract is the mark of a great business. If I have a construction project in the future where I need builders, I'd happily go with them. read more

Aaron, as before in 2019, was very helpful and quickly determined the problem. The cracks in my interior walls and some on the exterior were being caused by a corner of the building that is slowly losing support. With his help I will be able to get our HOA to address the issue before it becomes a real problem. The info he provided for me will be invaluable in getting the ball rolling! Thank you again!! read more

Recently had Alpha complete a foundation inspection on my 1912 craftsman bungalow. Brad Nestler provided a comprehensive review of my house inside and out as well as detailed review of raised foundation by crawling under the house. He took pictures and afterwards reviewed his findings with me explaining issue, cause and solution. (Folks, this is such an important step. Explain what's happening to my house, why and how do we fix it.) Exceptional! His extensive knowledge and experience provided insight and solutions. If you own an old house you know that sometimes the problem isn't what you think it is. Thats why it's so important to engage with experienced people like Brad/Alpha to do the necessary investigative work. The next day Brad sent a detailed Observation Letter that documented his findings and outlining solution. I was then equipped to take next steps. Five Stars! read more

Just spoke to Steve who came out for an assessment and this was the first time during my current project where I felt like I will actually be taken care of. He was very good at hearing out my specific situation (this is quite a piece meal project) and talking me through the options available. I've paid architects for plans on a drainage project and they took no consideration of what I was truly trying to accomplish and what information I personally had available. Steve took a completely different approach and confirmed with me what he saw to work on what was highest priority. Much appreciated Steve! read more

This is a review for both the Alpha Structural office and for engineer Erinn Rusnack. The first time we booked them was for a Buyer's Inspection to determine foundation issues, they issued a thorough and accurate report that allowed us to ask for a reasonable credit from the seller. We needed them a second time for a structural beam issue. I spoke with Francesca in the office at the end of a Friday and she answered so quickly, was very helpful and kind, and booked me in for a Saturday morning appointment. When I reached out after the appointment, she remembered who I was and was helpful. Engineer Erinn Rusnack came by exactly when he said he would, 8:00 AM the next day, on a Saturday, no less. He was very friendly and knowledgeable, and made thorough notations on his report. He emailed us with the report within two business days and followed up with us, doing everything he could to drop the completion time of the project down because he knows we are experiencing an unexpected and major safety issue. We appreciate his professionalism and urgency in supporting us. read more

Excellent service - prompt and friendly - the technician was great. Highly recommended

Erinn was on-time, professional and wasted no time studying my particular structural issue. He was very knowledgeable and soon after, provided me with an assessment of whether certain retrofit modifications were necessary or typical of my type of building structure. I highly recommend calling Erinn if you have soft-story or structural needs. read more

Brad and Fabian were professional and friendly in addition to explaining everything well. Would recommend them as counselors in engineering, structure and foundations! read more

Highly recommend getting a consultation with Alpha Structural for your retrofit/foundation needs! I recently bought a new house and unfortunately didn't receive any CEA verification forms from the previous owners for insurance purposes, so was on the lookout for someone who could help with that, as well as give us additional peace of mind that our foundation was safe. Alfie was very prompt and thorough in the consultation onsite at our house, including pointing out any recommendations on items such as older wooden beams that aren't urgent to fix in our garage, but good to revisit down the road. He crawled through our basement/sub space to check our beams too. Very quick turnaround with the CEA verification form too. We'll definitely consider going back to Alpha Structural for our future upgrades to our garage too! read more

If you're looking for a company that's honest, professional, and truly cares about your home, go with Alpha Structural. We had foundation issues and started this journey back in November 2024. They sent an engineer, Alfie, out the next day, and he was super thorough and clear about what was going on and what our options were. He explained why helical piers were better for our situation (we have clay soil), and although it was more expensive than concrete pads, it made the most sense long-term. We took almost a year to decide and save up, and even then, Alfie honored the original quote; no hassle, no pressure. That really stuck with us. Once we moved forward, Alpha made everything easy. Their scope of work was laid out clearly, they kept us in the loop at every stage, and the office team (shoutout to Beverly and Kate) was always responsive. The permits and inspections were billed separately, which they explained upfront, and there were no surprises. Everything was transparent. Now let me take a moment to really highlight Francisco and his crew, Juan and Jared. These guys were INCREDIBLE! Seriously, I can't say enough good things. They were on time every single day, super respectful, and just really hardworking. The kind of crew you feel lucky to have working on your home. Francisco, the foreman, ran the project like a total pro. He made sure everything was done right and with care. He didn't just oversee the job, he was in it, hands-on, constantly checking his team's work and making sure everything was on track. You could tell he takes pride in what he does. And not just that, he was considerate. One day when we weren't home, he made sure to close our gate. They didn't leave trash, didn't move anything without asking, and even stacked the pavers they had to remove neatly off to the side. Little things like that go a long way. Juan and Jared were just as great! Super polite, focused, and respectful. They asked before touching anything, cleaned up after themselves, and left the space looking better than before. You'd never guess major work had just been done, that's how clean and careful they were. And in the middle of this California summer heat, too. Total champs. We were told the job might take 5 days, but it was wrapped up in 3, and done well. Brian, the supervisor, was also awesome. He kept us updated, answered all our questions, and even coordinated with our neighbors to get a dumpster placed out front. Everyone we dealt with (from office to field) was kind, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Bottom line: Alpha Structural is the real deal. If you're on the fence, take this as your sign. Their crew treated our home with respect, did the job right, and made the whole process feel way less stressful than we expected. Huge thanks to Francisco, Juan, Jared, Brian, Alfie, Beverly, and Kate. We're beyond grateful and wouldn't hesitate to work with them again in the future. Now we have a solid foundation that we can work it and not have to worry about the structural integrity of our home moving forward. Thanks guys, now my doors/windows won't stick read more

We had a fantastic experience with Alpha Structural on a challenging structural project. We needed to replace a 25-foot beam in our cathedral ceiling and sister lots of rafters--work that could have easily turned into a major disruption if done from the exterior. The team found a smart solution to complete the entire project from inside the house, which allowed us to avoid opening the roof and dealing with weather exposure. That alone gave us a lot of peace of mind. Aldo, the structural assessor, was especially helpful throughout the process--patient with our many questions, clear in his communication, and thorough. Erick was consistently responsive as things came up. On site, Gilberto did excellent work with the team and provided steady, capable support through the build. Overall, we're very grateful for their professionalism, problem-solving approach, and the quality of the finished work. read more

We had a great experience with Alpha Structural! After getting 3 quotes for work to replace the western wall of our foundation along with 15 posts and piers on our 1920's home, we felt Apha was the most reasonably priced and seemed well regarded. We were not disappointed. Juvi and his crew Edgar and Jose did great work clearing a ton of leftover debris under the house, replaced the posts and piers and western wall, and extended a girder that previously did not reach the length of the house. We could tell the team knew their stuff. They left the area clean and clear, and were mindful to put a gate back up everyday that they had to take down to work. They even put in a new crawl space access door so future work could be done more easily. Working with Sunn and Aaron was also easy. They kept us informed of the progress and answered our detailed questions along the way. In the end, we needed stucco replaced along the western wall where they did the work, and they called in a handy man they knew to complete the restucco so the final project could be approved by the city. We were happy to have one less person to call! This is the biggest job we will (hopefully) ever have to do on this house, so we're glad we hired Alpha Structural to ensure everything was done right. Thank you! read more

I went with Alpha Structural for my seismic retrofit and was not disappointed. They were openly communicative with me throughout the whole journey as I had a lot of questions along the way. The whole team was hands-on deck in going over any concerns I had while providing updates through every step of the process. On the day of the installations, supervisor Eny and his team of Ronaldo, Daniel, and Casimiro did a great quality job in less time than I thought it would take. I'd highly recommend this company for any foundational projects you may have! At least get into open communications with them and you'll learn a thing or two. read more

We had Damien from Alpha Structural come out for an inspection on a new home we had purchase. We noticed our ceiling was uneven about 1". Damien was extremely honest, knowledgeable, and straightforward. He took the time to explain everything clearly without any pressure or upselling. It's refreshing to meet someone who truly cares about helping homeowners and giving an honest opinion. Highly recommend Damien and Alpha Structural for anyone needing a trustworthy structural service. read more

Aldo, who is a structural engineer, came out to my house to give me a free estimate and he was on time to my appointment. He was very knowledgeable and professional! He took the time to answer all of my questions regarding how a wooden support beam behaves. In his professional opinion my problem was merely cosmetic and not structural. I definitely slept better that night knowing that my structure would not collapse. Therefore, I give them a 5 STAR RATING! I am a real estate broker and have been in property management for over 40 years. I was extremely impressed with them and would not hesitate to use them again! I would highly recommend them to any one in need of structural advise! read more

I don't like writing bad reviews but feel that it is my duty to try and help others make a better decision than I did when hiring this company. I hired Alpha Structural to "level" my home. I was coned into thinking that I had to spend a ton of money (adding pillars, posts, and a sister joint) on my home to keep my doors from sticking and my wood floors from bouncing when we stepped on them. Initially my wife and I were happy as everything seemed well but that happiness was short lived. My doors are sticking again (had to adjust a few so they could close), my floors are not only bouncing again but now I also have to deal with uneven areas where the posts Alpha installed are pushing up on the floors. I contacted Alpha and they seemed willing to look into things and actually sent out John to take a look at the issues. John went into the crawl space and took measurements of everything and verbalized to me that the house had to be corrected. He promised to provide me with the report a couple of days later yet nothing was ever received. I called several times and each time John is busy or out in the field. I was promised a call back but nothing happened. read more

Alfred is a class act! Thank you for a thorough and informative consultation today. Highly recommend!

We had someone come out and help with a quote. They were knowledgable and honest and let us know that, although they COULD do a bunch of work to help out structurally, and it would be very expensive, the work didn't necessarily NEED to be done. Therefore, we chose not to perform the work and saved a bunch of money. We appreciated their knowledgeable advice and would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the future. read more

Alpha Structural has really great customer service. I had witnessed a very minor incident where one of their employees was driving and had moved into my lane with no warning. I took to yelp to let them know that their brand was being represented by this driver and how it left a bad taste in my mouth. They responded immediately to get more details and promised to address the issue. If their customer service is this attentive and professional, I can only imagine their engineering staff would have to be the same. read more

Again dishonesty and unprofessional behavior. The Manager's response is a complete gaslighting fabrication. Now Alpha structural responds as If we spoke and resolved the issue and I'm happy again. No, it's all fiction. No one spoke to me, no one changed any report. It's all made up generic response that has nothing to do with my case. Definitely no positive outcome to anything related to my experience with this company. read more

Alpha Structural - Everything in the owners response is fiction. No conversation no resolution absolutely non of that ever happened. - General Contractors Near Me - Sunland, California

AlphaStructural got in touch promptly and got to the bottom of our strange permit issue. Once they tracked down the problem, they started the cancellation process and we know it's pending processing from the city now. Anyone can have a paperwork mistake. All things considered, we still think AlphaStructural's foundation work is the best and willing to recommend them to friends and family. They're a good value for the type of expertise they offer. read more

One of the contractors, Damien, came out to look at my sagging foundation. I expected expensive repair, but he identified a problem with drainage that can be fixed by my Gardener.

Alpha Structural - We did the final Cement pour today. Went smoothly, thanks to the hard work of Luis, Edgar and Gregorio; who worked tirelessly. - General Contractors Near Me - Sunland, California

I had mud slide on my hill side in 2022. It would be an expensive project anyway, so I prefer to pick a well representative company. I chose alpha because it has great star review and it is a big company. The work started smoothly, they covered my pool well and very organized. For somehow, after the work was completed and the payment was finished. There was something wrong in the concrete. I was worrying a lot because most contractors left the work after the payment finished. However, there's a quality control department in alpha. I talked to Alan Temps, he was listening to my concerns and solved my problems without delay. I really appreciate Alan that I felt they did not dump the project after the payment, very well customer service. It will be the contractor you can rely on. Thank you. read more

We're in the middle of foundation work with Apha Structural and things are going well so far. The crew shows up and leaves on time every day, keeps our yard reasonably tidy with dangerous areas sectioned off, and is laser focused on getting the job done. Eric, the foreman, has been great. He explains what's happening clearly, checks in regularly, makes sure our concerns are addressed, and even politely deals with my disgruntled neighbors (all of whom were made aware of the upcoming construction may I add). The job coordinator Juan was very kind to accommodate re: timeline, offering to work Saturdays in order to finish the job quicker and take some weekdays off, as I have a surgery scheduled at the end of the month and prefer to recover at home in peace in quiet. We're not at completion yet, but up to this point the communication and professionalism have exceeded my expectations. If everything continues this way, I will be happy to recommend this company to anyone with a hundred year old house who needs foundation work to prevent it from sliding down the hill like mine. read more

Have worked with several companies over the years. Alpha by far is the best. Fast response time and communication is important. They always come through. Highly recommend read more

Great interaction! Aarón came to look at my retaining wall drainage issue (spent an hour) and could have easily sold me tens of thousands of dollars or work to resolve moisture issues with new French drains. He told me to re-stucco instead because the moisture was only affecting the stucco (not the concrete) and new drainage would be crazy expensive. That kind of honesty is a rare thing indeed. Highly recommended without reservation. read more

I highly recommend Chris Olson, Structural Assessor with Alpha Structural, Inc : FIX IT RIGHT FIX IT ONCE Chris came to my rescue at a rental property to evaluate a foundation water intrusion problem. Chris conducted a very thorough inspection, assessment and estimate to repair my foundation. Chris took a lot of time to explain and helped me understand thru drawings my problem and the solution. Btw, no charge for the consultation! Chris has outstanding foundation expertise! I felt very appreciative and relieved thanks to Chris's solution to this awful water intrusion problem. Plus NO high pressure sales pitch as so many other contractors! Very refreshing! A great experience! :) Chris represents Alpha Structural's policy of wonderful customer service ! What a rare find! Chris Olson and Alpha Structural are #1 ! Chris you are the best ! Thank you! read more

Chris O. was a total trooper. Even though it was raining, he still crawled under my house to do a full inspection. It was wet, slippery, and definitely not ideal conditions, but he handled it like a champ. Our foundation situation is complicated with a very tight crawl space, and he took the time to explain everything clearly in a way that actually made sense. He was super friendly, professional, and easy to talk to. I had already done my research on the company checked out their website, license, insurance, A+ BBB rating, and reviews so I felt good going in. After meeting Chris, I feel even more confident moving forward with them on the larger projects we have planned. Highly recommend. Laural read more

Erinn was so knowledgeable and helpful. He took the time to explain things to me and provide context. Highly recommend.

Alpha Structural truly is the gold standard when it comes to foundation repairs. Fifteen years ago, Alpha replaced my brick foundation. My house is on a hillside and I recently went back to Alpha for significant structural work where they installed a new perimeter foundation wall and undershorings. It was one of the most seamless and positive contractor experiences I've ever had. Gabriel, the supervisor, did a wonderful job communicating with me every day - he sent me regular updates and photos every single day which gave me a lot of comfort. Gabriel is extremely responsive and professional. Armando, the foreman, is absolutely amazing. He is clearly an expert and trusted leader. Armando and his team of Mark and Carlos were incredibly in sync. They arrived early everyday, were consummate professionals, kept everything extremely clean, and did a stellar job. When Armando and his team raised my sloping floor, I felt like I was watching a magician in action. Brad Nestler also is absolutely fantastic. He assessed my home and was very patient and helpful in developing a plan in the first place. Truly expert at what he does. Overall I felt a lot of trust and confidence in the team and had such peace of mind the entire week that they worked on my foundation. There are just a couple of items pending to get final approval by the city to complete the project. I'm looking forward to finishing the project. I highly recommend Alpha Structural ! read more

Albert Biskalis is an excellent and highly skilled structural inspector. Very knowledgeable and respectful. A breeze to work with.

Had a wonderful experience with a woman named Talin, who came out and evaluated the drainage and foundation of a home in an incredibly professional and thorough manner. Everyone I have worked with at Alpha Structure has embodied the utmost of professionalism, and I can recommend you use them for your home assessments--and if Talin comes, you're in luck! read more

**************** The response from Alpha Structural below is laughable. The "substandard anchor bolts to be replaced" entailed moving 2 URFP plates that weren't even bolted into the foundation; they were only screwed into the mudsill with 5 screws each. Literally would take 30seconds to move. There were 10 other plates already screwed in that did not require moving at all, only bolting, which actually saved the laborers work. Alpha Structural even wrote in their quote that those plates just needed bolting. (Uploaded the quote) The notion that this project needed to be "fully engineered" with "structural calculations" is absurd. Standard-Plans/Details for 1-Story House were used. Don't believe me? I uploaded a quote I got from another licensed foundation specialist for comparison... Oops. Sorry I brought receipts. Speaking of receipts, did someone say permit expediter? Because Alpha's quote specifically states their quote does NOT include permit or plan check fees... hmm... Another cost coming your way probably. Also, what handyman is getting $1000/day? (lol Maybe it's the Project Supervisor and the Senior Project Manager for this two man, two day job that gets that much?) Like I say, these guys will talk nice and tell you about engineering, warranties, insurances (any licensed contractor will give you these, by the way). They might give themselves big titles too. But at the end of the day, they're overcharging you an arm and a leg. Plain and simple. Alpha, you can stand by whatever you want to, but if you're stealing from my neighbors, I'm going to at least let them know. read more
