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.

Fabulous service and I never I hired them. I had a concern with respect to a property I was…read morepurchasing and he explained the issues to me that two home inspectors had failed to do. Another inspector wanted a lot of money to come out and probably would not have given me any more information.

He charged a fair fee (much cheaper than other companies on yelp), provided thorough explanations, and certified a letter with his findings.

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. I really appreciated that they took the time to even call me and let me know. That alone shows intgrity. 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!
