I contacted this company for a last minute structural engineer report for a residential home I was…read morepurchasing. They were quick to give me an estimate on how much the report would cost. Helpful items for them to process request: send them the inspection report with any photos. Repair requests if needed. The lady was able to give me a fairly reasonable estimate by the afternoon. If want the service, you basically provide an e-sig like a DocuSign over email. Apparently they have officers near Charlotte, NC and also Anderson, SC area which would cover the upstate. The lady I spoke with (Courtney) was very friendly and understanding of my situation. I highly recommend checking them out if you're in need of a real structural engineer who will provide a stamped report. TIP: they also do commercial.

I called Medlock and Associates for my project in Mars Hill. We renovated a 1930s rock schoolhouse…read moreand they were the only firm that got back to me. They ran the load to determine the added supports needed to complete the loft apartments in the previous gymnasium. From then on, they are the only firm I call. I'm also an active real estate agent in the area. They provide accurate information to my clients on the homes they are under contract on to help them make the decision whether they want to buy the property or not based on the needed repairs. They also share their list of contractors in the area that can repair any structural issues. Their skillset is invaluable to anyone who comes across a structural issue. I highly recommend to my friends, family and clients.

I was working with a contractor on an issue where the screened in porch on my house was coming away…read morefrom the main house so he looked at it and said that he recommends an engineer to be involved. Sounded good to me and he had an engineer that he has worked with before. He sat up the appointment and I met him and the employee from Medlock who both the contractor and Medlock employee led me to believe that he was an engineer. The Medlock employee took photos and some measurements and the contractor told me that it would be $500.00 then when we were all leaving the contractor and the Medlock employee said it would be $750.00. Then I get a bill where it showed that the person who looked at the house was a Project Manager and the letter had an engineer stamp on it and a hand drawn picture of the deck with what appeared to be supports to take it down. I called the office to inquire why a project manager and not an engineer looked at it and charged me $750.00. The Office Manager said that is the way they do it, send employees out and then they stamp it with an engineer stamp. I questioned had an engineer looked at the property as it was my house with a very serious issue, her reply was that the project manager talked to the engineer. I am new to Asheville but feel like this is very deceptive practice and when I called the Operations Manager she said that they do it all the time. My concern this was a very serious issue with my house and the Operations Manager said that there is a seal on the letter even though the engineer never looked at it. I have never had an serious issue with my house like this before but I do not feel like a 1 paragraph letter with a hand drawing on a serious issue that didn't give me an option to repair or a plan to rebuild.

Jamie was scheduled to inspect a house that I put an offer on back in February. My realtor decided…read moreto call him because he inspects structural issues and my realtor was worried that we had a structural issue with the attic. So the first thing that Jamie did was go into the attic and verified that we did indeed have an issue. Since he was only there about 10-15 minutes, Jamie did not charge me for this visit. I really appreciated that gesture because I was already upset about not being able to get this house. Jamie did come and inspect the next house that I put an offer on. He was very thorough and provided a lot good, clear information and clear pictures. He's very personable, professional, and polite. I will be recommending his company to everyone I know!
