Garth is nothing less than phenomenal! Normally people write reviews for inspectors and engineers to talk about how grateful they are to have been saved from a bad house but I am the opposite in all of the best ways possible! My husband and I were on the verge of walking away from an old house in Marmalade District and Garth came in with his expertise and put our minds completely at rest. He was very thorough, patient, and advocated for me as the buyer of the house! I was able to ask him very straightforward questions about the state of the house and he answered each one confidently and in a way that helped me understand the why. He was so great that my real estate agent took down his name and number as well as a bunch of business cards to use for future clients. This is your sign- hire Garth. He is the one you are looking for, I promise! read more

Garth is very professional, easy to work with and personable. He helped me assess a home with severe cracks in the garage floor and explained the reasoning behind his concerns in language that was easy to understand. Appreciate his down to earth approach and his recommendation ultimately to not purchase the home (truly dodged a bullet). For the price, it's definitely worth it considering the cost of a property. I'd totally call Garth again if I have any structural questions. Thanks, Garth! read more

Garth helped me assess cracks in my concrete foundation after another company quoted me an expensive and probably unnecessary repair. He explained the cracks were not structurally significant and saved me an expense, but more importantly provided peace of mind. His background in structural engineering, civil engineering and home inspection makes him uniquely qualified. Garth is professional and courteous. He also answered a few other practical questions about home maintenance and provided handyman references he trusts. Highly recommend. read more

What an amazing company! I would actually give it 10 stars if I could. Garth explained the report to me in plain English, and I he answered all of the questions I had with no hesitation. read more

Garth is great! I bought a home constructed in the 70s with a number of cracks in the foundation and plaster that has cracked and broken away from the foundation on the outside of the home. I've worried for years about these cracks, even more so after the earthquake a few years ago. I finally contacted Garth to do a structural inspection. Turns out these cracks are all normal for a home built in the 70s and not a structural concern. Garth has a ton of experience, and as a bonus, he's a very likable guy. He's also very dependable and communicative. He really put me at ease and I can finally stop worrying and just enjoy my home. Definitely worth the peace of mind. read more

Garth does not just want to earn a buck. I felt he genuinely wanted to give me the best advise for my sake. He was well informed in the area of structural engineering. read more

We were in UT for a short time to see some houses. We had noticed some basement slab cracks in photos of one house of interest, and had gone by the house prior to our scheduled tour and looked through the windows and sliding glass door. I was concerned and did a search for local Structural Engineers. I found Garth Haslem's website and called him. He answered on a Saturday morning and I had a great discussion with him about my concerns. He agreed to meet us later that afternoon when our tour was scheduled and give us a verbal assessment for a reasonable price. He ended up spending more time with us as we went around the outside and through the inside of the house, looking closely at the foundation's footing from outside and through the inside looking for signs of any foundation issues. He gave us some detail in his explanation, and an easy to understand, "If it were me, I'd make decision 'X'.", which is exactly what we needed to know so that we could decide if we should further consider this house or not. He also recommended a Home Inspector to use when the time came for a full inspection. Thanks, Garth! read more

Garth is amazing! He's incredibly knowledgeable, he took the time to walk us through the problems, and also gave us tips on how to fix them. We walked away super confident that we knew exactly what we were in for with our new home. Besides that he's just darn good company. This is the guy you trust with your house. read more

Garth and Crossroads Engineering has been my go-to for home inspections for years. He is thorough and takes the time to explain how things work, especially great for first time homebuyers. His experience with structural issues, meth and radon are invaluable. I highly recommend Garth for any and all your home inspection needs Karin Jessen ERA Brokers Consolidated read more

My name is Sue Chappell and I'm a realtor that used Garth for many, many years. His background in engineering is so helpful especially when it comes to structural issues. He has alot of experience in just about every aspect of a home inspection. He has helped with radon, mold issues and so many other things. I highly recommend him as someone you should hire for your home inspector. Sue Chappell, IProRealtyNetwork read more

As a Realtor, I have used Garth over 100 times over the years for home inspections, and he always does a stellar job for me and my clients!

I've had two homes inspected by Garth of Crossroads Engineers. One house was a complete disaster and he helped me realize how much I was not into the task of turning it around. I highly recommend using him and not using an inspector recommended by a realtor or one who doesn't insist that you be with them for the inspection. You need one that has no motivation for you not to close on a property and one that will educate you where you may not have any knowledge. (Also bring your spouse so he/she can get the low down on the faults a home they may be passionate about actually has.) Garth is a veteran in this trade, he takes his time, is very thorough and was a civil engineer in his prior work. Thanks Garth read more

Garth with Crossroads Engineers was a wonderful! He takes his time and is very thorough. He explains everything to you as you go through the home. He was a wealth of information and obviously really knew what to look for. We got the report quickly and it was very professional the thorough. We have bought and sold quite a few homes and he is by far the best inspector we have ever used! read more

I am buying my first home and Garth was recommended to me by my agent. I am so glad I chose to use him. Garth was fantastic to work with -- thorough, and great sense of humor. I was really comfortable with his attitude and my ability to ask questions when I had him. It took us about 2 hours of walking around and I really appreciate how he explained what he was looking at, why it mattered, results, and and if it was a big deal or not. In addition, the completed report was delivered by the next day. I would definitely use him again, and refer him to others. read more
