I was in the process of purchasing a home, and the initial inspection turned up some potential…read moreissues with the foundation. I hired Liang (Andy) Cheng as a structural engineer to inspect the property. He was running late, so we told him to call/text when he arrived at the property. He didn't do that. Instead, he performed the entire inspection with the listing agent (aka not our realtor), not calling until he was done. When I got there, he told me that "everything was fine" and that there were "no problems". He took no photos and said it would take 2 days to have the report. Later questions uncovered the fact that he neglected to inspect many of the problem areas, for which I have attached some helpful reference photos. When I asked why, he said that he "didn't know he had to inspect [those areas". I reminded him that if he had done the inspection with me, instead of with the SELLER'S REAL ESTATE AGENT, he would have known. He seemed put off by this notion. Since he had an incomplete inspection, no photos, and no ability to generate a written report before our deadline, we were left with no choice but to terminate our professional relationship. I have no way to judge the quality of his work, as no service was performed. I can only recommend not hiring him.

We hired Mugnier & Associates to provide structural analysis on a specific portion of our house…read morethat we were concerned with. We discussed our concern over the phone, received a quote to come by our house, write up a detailed report/analysis and provide a few Contractors who may be able to assist in resolving the issue. Mr. Mugnier came by our house and looked at the issue. He answered our questions and, in addition, he insisted on inspecting our basement (which was unrelated to the issue). When we received his report one week later, we were quite surprised to read just three sentences with general comments about the issue we hired him for. We reached out to request a more detailed report and received a few lines back which simply stated the area in question was "presently dangerous and cannot be used". Yeah we knew that) In addition, we requested the names of Contractors, and as of yet (we are just over a month out from his visit) we have not received any. Since Mr. Mugnier insisted on payment after his visit/before the report the written we have little recourse but to share our experience with the hope that others will take note.

I contacted him after, unfortunately, hiring another contractor only three months earlier who did a sloppy job and left me looking at crooked doors every day. Serge and his team came in, replaced all of them, and the workmanship was outstanding. Our project involved replacing 13 interior doors (including 3 double door closets), and because our home has non-standard door sizes, it required extensive measuring and planning. Serge took the time to carefully measure everything multiple times and even researched the best sources to find the right doors rather than taking shortcuts. He also replaced a bathroom threshold and completed a few other projects, all with the same attention to detail. Throughout the project, Serge was exceptionally communicative, professional, and reliable. His crew was hardworking, respectful, quiet, and left the house clean at the end of each day. Most importantly, the quality of the workmanship was exceptional. Serge is a true perfectionist, and it shows in every detail. The doors fit perfectly, operate smoothly, and the finished product exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for someone who takes pride in his work, communicates well, and delivers outstanding craftsmanship, I would wholeheartedly recommend Serge and his team.
