They were very helpful and I learned a lot during the review.

Very informative and the complete report was very well documented. Read like a thesis great value

Good crew workers, but absolutely terrible communication from the office staff and supervisors!…read more The guy who did the initial inspection and estimate didn't describe the layout of our crawlspace to the crew correctly, so our 1-day job couldn't be finished on Day 1 (and because the on-site crew couldn't reach any supervisors to get guidance on how to proceed with a new plan since the original plan wasn't right). So a 1-day job that started on July 20th didn't get done until August 1st because they kept saying the crew was coming on a certain date/time but nobody would show up, so I'd contact the office again and they'd say the crew was coming but nobody would show up, and when the crew did finally get back here they had been told that we had removed a bush that was in the exact spot they needed to put a drain BUT NOBODY HAD MENTIONED REMOVING A BUSH TO US! And, once again, the crew couldn't get in contact with the supervisor! When he did finally talk to a supervisor they asked him if we wanted to have the drain set up in a different way that would mean the job got done that same day BUT their warranty would be invalid!! UM NO are you serious?! Absolutely asinine way to do business, I am shocked that they still get customers at all! So yeah, nobody from the office had called after the first appointment went awry to explain the situation and what they would be doing to fix it, nobody called when we had complained of the lack of communication to explain what was going on, but you can be SURE they billed me immediately after the job was finally done! No delays or waiting around to hear from their billing department haha. We will take our business elsewhere next time we need work like this done, for sure.

Monday came and went no response by email, txt or voicemail. The entire week went by trying to contact her in different ways every day and no response. Even the county area plan inspector tried to reach her with no response. She has put us in a bad situation because we can't get our building permit without the engineered drawings and she knew that was the situation and obviously didn't care. A simple response saying she didn't have it done would have made the situation 100% different because we would know she was working on them at least. But to completely ghost us and cause us to be further behind schedule is very unprofessional and morally wrong!

Second, years later, when I hired Katahdin Engineering to verify if my fathers house was needing almost $20,000.00 of repair work. Before anyone believes a home inspector or one of these home foundation companies, hire a structural engineer. Elizabeth Woolf inspected my fathers home, told me what the foundation place probably wanted to do, and explained how what they wanted to do would end up costing us more money in repairs! My father didn't have a foundation problem at all - just a brick façade problem! She even gave me a name of someone that repaired brick issues. I can't say enough good about Elizabeth Woolf and Katahdin Engineering. She saved me and my family thousdands!!

As we watched the cracks multiply, we decided it was time to have a structural engineer take a look at the foundation of the house before having anything repaired. After reading reviews, and trying to find someone who specialized an older homes, we landed on Young's Inspections. Getting set up for the inspection was fairly straightforward and organized. It's quite pricey to have a foundation inspection at about $650 -from what I could read that's pretty close to the national average. Bob was thorough in his report and sent it our way the week after the inspection. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I felt confident in his expertise. If you need a structural engineer to inspect your foundation, I would recommend giving him a try. I hope you don't have to, though!
