Michael showed compassion…read more I called Michael after I was a victim of a scam. A fraudulent waterproofing company that I unfortunately hired. They started the escavation and then half way through started trying to extort more money out of me. It was at that point that I made a decision to rid them from my property and accept the loss and damages. With my house now exposed to the elements and in imminent danger of collasping. I needed to find a reputable company fast. I called Structional Engineering and Design and spoke with Michael. He came out the same day to survey the area that had been partially dug out by the scammers. Due to the urgency, Michael got me on his schedule and started the work the following week. When you are going through a devastating and life-changing time. You need a compassionate and meticulous group of individuals working for you to restore your home. You can rely on Michael for prompt assistance. Michael and his team worked from early morning into the nighttime hours completing the escavation and underpinning. It was a big job and a lot of hard work. All of the guys were professional, hardworking and did a wonderful job restoring my deck after the escavation. Michael kept me informed and explained each step to me. From begin to end the Michael and his guys were simply top notch. From the start with Michael's honesty, fairness and transparency was a level above everyone else I'll had dealt with. The only thing better than the quality of his work is Michael's character. They even hauled the tons of dirt and rock with no extra charge! I'm very happy I found this company to do business with. It's been almost 4 months and I have not had a drop of water in the basement and it feels great not having to worry about it. What began as a nightmare was soon met with sit back and relax, WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

Greg and his staff are super qualified, professional, responsive and practical. He bothers to…read moreunderstand your goals and concerns and then conducts a very thorough, honest/fair, and timely inspection followed by a report in plain English that most people can follow. We found it helpful to be at the inspection with him as you can learn a lot about the building or structure that he is inspecting by just listening to his comments and viewing exactly what he's talking about at the site. That said- he provides great photos and explanations in his reports but we just found it useful from an educational perspective to be there. We have used him a few times for our condo building, I am on the board, and his advice really helped us to prioritize and triage the work on deck to best serve our residents. I will never use anyone else in Philadelphia as long as he's around!

He took the time to examine damage to basement joists and determine the extent of the damage as well as to recommend a course of action to prolong the life of the house.

He had his detailed report forwarded to me in a timely manner and I was ready to move forward toward settlement with confidence. I highly recommend this company.

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.

We are first time home buyers purchasing a home from out of state. When our inspection report came…read moreback showing some cracks in the basement walls of the 17-year-old home we were planning to purchase, I contacted Halo Engineering for a professional opinion. 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.
