Do NOT hire John. He is a CON ARTIST!!! We paid him $400 up front for some work. He did not perform the work and won't respond to calls, emails or texts. Read other reviews. He has done this to many people. I've filed a complaint with the board of engineers!! He needs his license revoked!!! If he has scammed you, here is the link to file a complaint. https://www.ncbels.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ComplaintForm.pdf read more

Scammer!! Takes and ask for money without providing the drawings you need! We were lucky by using PayPal, we were able to recover $900 of our monies paid to him. read more

DO NOT USE! He requires payment upfront and NOT deliver the plans he promises, just doesn't respond unless he's asking for money! Just Google his name.. his reviews speak for themselves! We are out of $1150, next step licensing board & small claims. Just wished we would have instead of taking a recommendation from an accredited builder, who now is embarrassed of the recommendation! STAY AWAY!!!! read more

Unprofessional! Cashed my check in 5 mins, then made me wait WEEKS for my report!! I had to call three times to get it

Hired John to provide a structural engineering assessment of a house I had after hearing from a general inspector that there may be structural issues with the house. He provided me a verbal assessment upon finishing his inspection during which he stated that there were some issues, but specifically that helical piers were not going to be necessary (which was a big relief). Upon learning of another structural engineer's report (which we received AFTER he verbally gave me his own, supposedly independent, verbal report), John point blank REFUSED to put his report in writing, even going so far as to accuse me of trying to withhold information (which I did not have). He then decided that, in fact, the other structural engineer's report was perfect and he agreed with it completely - the other engineer's report said that there were a HOST of other problems with the house, including the necessity of helical piers which is a material difference. Bottom line is that John was unwilling to stand behind his own assessment and work and provide me with an independent opinion about the structural characteristics of this house. I suspect he is either buddies with the other engineer or intimidated in some fashion by him, but either way the complete lack of professional integrity was both frustrating and disappointing. Do not use John Plummer if you want an independent opinion on structural engineering. (BTW, I did hire a different engineer whose report largely confirmed what John had told me over the phone, but which he refused to provide in a written report...) read more
