I found Jim through Yelp while super stressed about some aspects of my home. He was responsive and…read morewas able to come out quickly to do an inspection. Jim was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He took his time reviewing every single thing that I had on my list. He never once scoffed or brushed off even the tiniest of drywall cracks or nail pops that I was nervous about. I shared with him I was a first time home owner and he even offered some tips on how to repair some of the unsightly cracks or poor workmanship that I was asking him to review. He helped me understand some of the specifics of how the home was built, clearly outlined what was normal, and things I can watch out for in the future that would elicit more concern. I found his price to be extremely fair for his expertise, and I appreciated that he had a separate, optional price for a written report, so for those like myself that didn't end up needing to do any remediations, I didn't end up paying for that additional service. I highly recommend Jim to help stomp out things that are making you toss and turn at night like me, and to be used during the inspection process for a new home. Thank you, Jim!

Alex has been crucial in our inspection period on the home we're looking to purchase. He and his…read moreemployee, John, thoroughly evaluated the property and weren't afraid to get into tight crawl spaces to ensure they had the full picture. He provided a quick turnaround for the report after I let him know that we were under a time crunch for the inspection period. He took our calls when we needed clarity and even spoke with the seller's contractor to let them know what needs to get done to meet the demands of the report. Not only did this all provide peace of mind, but the process has also saved us tens of thousands of dollars and potentially a disastrous safety issue. I can't recommend Alex enough if you need a professional engineer.

Lou talked to me on the spot which was awesome because the other two SE companies I left messages with never even got back to me. Lou didn't want us to spend the money sending an engineer out if it wasn't necessary. He asked me to send him a copy of the inspection report so he could determine if a visit to the property was needed. I spoke to Lou the following day and learned we had nothing to really worry about-just typical settling. He spent 15 minutes on the phone with me answering all my questions and gave me and my husband peace of mind. And he didn't even ask me to write this review! He's a professional and a really nice guy therefore you should totally hire him.
