It seems like this post should start with a joke. Well . . . What happened when the patio heater…read morewas placed too close to a load-bearing wooden beam? I think you know the rest of the story. We burned a hole into our covered patio wooden beam and we weren't sure what to do. We contacted our contractor, and they said contact an engineer. I found Bill's organization online. BSM Engineering - talk about a professional organization. From the moment we started interacting through email correspondence to multiple telephone calls, to a final verdict on what to do next, Bill was the highest degree of professionalism. Throughout the whole thing, Bill guided me in the process and helped me to understand the complexity of the issues. Add a proverbial cherry to the top of this otherwise phenomenally smooth process; and guess what, Bill didn't charge us a thing. He did the whole thing pro bono. Talk about a phenomenal company. The highest degree of professionalism. The best customer service. An incredibly well trained and highly ethical engineer. What more could you want? I can't think of anything better. If you ever need an engineer, and I know this for certain as far as our engineer needs in the future are concerned, go with Bill and BSM Engineering. You will be 100% satisfied.

Our house is built in the SW hills of Portland originally in 1938, with a 2003 addition. TerraFirma…read morewaterproofing product has been a significant update to a shoddy home remodel that the January ice storm exposed. After this unexpected remodel and damage was exposed we had a delay of several months to get on their schedule. When the project date arrived, they showed up on time, cleaned well after the demolition/addition of interior floors to allow drainage and a sump-pump. My original review (4 star due to not adjusting the cost when less product was used) they owned the mistake and recognized their communication gaps. I do appreciate that attention and feel more confident in the company. I look forward to many years of DRY basement/master bedroom living.

Living in a 30-year-old home for the past two decades we've had several phases of upgrades, but one…read morething has always been absent from a 10x10 slab on our back porch: a hot tub. So, this summer, we decided to move forward with the plan to be "soakin' for the holidays" three months away. The only thing standing in the way of that dream: the slab and its neighbor had sunk a few extra degrees, roughly three inches, at the far edge. We were going to need to shore up and permanently stabilize this slab if our hopes of the (3-ton when filled) tub were going to materialize. I made a quick call to Terra Firma and they had an estimator out within a few days. The pricing was reasonable and had the standard 50% up front 50% when complete-type contract. Casey arrived spot-on at 8:00am yesterday morning and began doing his magic (the process involves boring 1/2" holes through the slab, then using high pressure and heat to inject a molten expanding foam under the slab.) The foam is rated to support about 5 tons (10,000 pounds) per pound of foam material, and....100 pounds later that whole slab is back to following the prescribed slope perfectly, raising almost three inches on the sunken side. He did a great job and was a great rep for the company, explaining what little was left to explain. He kept me up on the status of the (4-hour) job as he went along--because our slabs had previously cracked, he had to gently lift it up in small sections so as to not have the sections separate further. Perfect job. 24 hours later and the patched holes have dried to almost-invisible (see photos). Unless you know what you're looking for, you can't even really see that repairs were made. Now I just need to fill in the pre-existing cracks with concrete patching caulk and we're ready to schedule the hot tub delivery! Yippee! Thanks Terra Firma!

I had concerns over a basement wall and the work done by previous owners of my home. I called MCE…read moreand they agreed to send over an engineer. They were upfront about the cost of an assessment. Unfortunately, when the engineer arrived he concluded that the walls needed to be opened up completely for him to provide the assessment and that I should call them to come back again once I opened up all the walls. So I have basically paid hundreds of dollars for 20 minutes of their time and them to say "We don't know." It would have been nice to have known that completely open walls were necessary to do the eval. The only other feedback is that the engineer was polite, professional, and on time. My two stars are for the waste of time and money which i don't have a lot of. I have since worked with a couple other companies that were much better with communications and gave me great evaluations.

Jordan & Ron were amazing and helped explain what was going on and what possible could happen, as well as several options for monitoring the situation and solving the situation.

I highly recommend them for any/all structural engineering work you have.

I do not recommend using this company for several reasons…read more First, they were very slow and not proactive in moving the project forward. I frequently had to follow up to get updates or any progress. Second, Randy initially gave my wife a quote to perform a private road compaction test, and we began moving forward with him based on that price. After two weeks with no progress, I called to check on the status. During that call, Randy doubled the original quote. He explained that the project would require significantly more work than he initially anticipated, including multiple soil compaction tests and a more detailed report. When I asked what the soil compaction testing would involve, he told me they would be using a machine that drives a rod into the ground to measure the force required in several locations. He also stated that the report would need to be much more detailed than originally expected. Because of the sudden increase in price, I became suspicious and asked to be onsite when his technician arrived. When the technician showed up, he simply took photos and dug a small section on the side of the road. There was no soil compaction testing equipment used as described. Three weeks later, I finally received the report, which was only one page long and essentially stated that the road was compacted and capable of supporting a fire truck. After receiving the invoice, I gave Randy an opportunity to adjust the price, since the additional work he described clearly did not occur. Ultimately, I paid the full amount, but based on my experience, I would strongly recommend choosing another company.
