I was considering Top Renovations as the GC for a renovation. They sent their structural engineer,…read moreHristo "Chris" Hristov of HH Consulting, to my home to assess whether a wall was load bearing. Chris showed up an hour and a half late and didn't offer an apology or even acknowledge his tardiness. He looked at the wall and said he didn't 'think' it was load bearing. I told Chris that his 'thought' is not good enough; I need confirmation. I asked if he planned on going into the attic to assess the wall from there. Well, he showed up without a ladder and asked to borrow one from me, so perhaps he didn't plan on going into the attic. His conclusion, "it probably isn't load bearing." I never received a letter from him certifying the status of the wall. I looked him up to see if he held an engineering license in the State of Nevada. Nope, as of Dec 2024, he doesn't. And he doesn't have a license with the contractor's board either. I know that it's illegal for a licensed contractor to "aid and abet an unlicensed person" (language of Nevada law) NRS 624.3014. I don't know why Top Renovations would risk a reprimand and sanction by the contractor's board by using an unlicensed engineer. I would not hire HH Consulting and for a multitude of reasons, I will not be hiring Top Renovations.

I was in process purchasing a home in Las Vegas. HH Consulting was retained by my wonderful real…read moreestate agent on my behalf who said she had worked with the company prior, and they would be perfect for a structural review of the home prior to final negotiations with the seller. HH came to the inspection on time, and after their review, said their inspection report would be forthcoming in 72 hours. Five days later, we still had no report, and were beginning final negotiations, and told them timing was crucial. HH said we would have the report within 24 hours. Two days later, we still had no report, and now it was a weekend so we had to wait two more additional days. The following Monday morning my real estate agent called again and literally begged HH for their final report. They said we would receive it by the end of that day, and late that evening the report was finally received. Not ideal, but communication could have been substantially better. YMMV.

I found this firm on a Recommended List from Yelp. I called the phone number and spoke to the…read moreowner Julio for 10 minutes. He asked me to send him some plans for the proposed project and told me he would get back to me in 2-3 days. When i hadn't heard after more than a week, I sent an email confirming that he received the initial e plans. No response. I tried calling and leaving a voicemail. Nothing. I've been ghosted.

I called JCAndray Engineering on Friday, Oct 25, & spoke to the owner/Engineer, Julio. We had a…read moregood and informative conversation about a possible foundation issue I was dealing with at a property. Besides having no reviews on Yelp, I decided to give JCandray Engineering a try. I felt confident of his ability and expertise given that his inquisitive enquiries were so right on with the "possible issues" I had called him about. I also told him that time is of the essence with getting the possible issue, if any, resolved, and if he had any time soon to come walk-thru the property and do a visual inspection. He was accommodated my urgency. We scheduled and agreed to meet the next day, Saturday, Oct 26, the day after our initial conversation. On the day of the appointment, I called to confirm but no answer. I couldn't leave a message as his voicemail had not been set-up yet. I texted him twice as well. I called 4 more times after my initial call and still no reply to the text nor a call back. I would think that to be on the "Top 10 Best" on Yelp, that he would've earned that privilege through a proven record of a job well done and professionalism but alas, it is not so. Its a real shame to deal with supposed "Professional" who do not come through, or at least be accountable for their actions or lack thereof.

They stated this process would take 6 months to a year and it has now been three years. The contract price to date is $17k more than what was agreed to and they are holding up finishing our project until they receive more money.

Do not use this engineering firm if you would like to start building your house in the next decade or want to pay almost double what they tell you it will cost.
