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!!!!!!

When we listed our home for sale we had a home inspector report issues with our structure. He had…read moreone company follow up with an estimate between 60-100k in repairs. We contacted a different company who reported different issues that would be 60k to repair. We decided since neither of these crawl space experts were engineers that we needed an expert. We found Structural Support and had them do an inspection. Thoroughly done with attention, when complete we shared the estimates we had for these alleged problems. We only had minor issues and most of the estimated services were not needed at all. We have a local trusted contractor working on the matter and due diligence. Reading the reviews of the big name contractors led us to believe we had major problems. When they all identified a problem, each of the contractors suggested totally different things that were relevant, but not needed at all. We strongly recommend using Structural Support, and are thankful for not believing these so called basement experts.

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.

They were kind enough to call me back and let me know there was nothing to worry about and I could find any local mason who could come and patch it up.

Should I ever, or anyone I know need major work that is in their wheelhouse I'm going to be sure to recommend. Thank you!
