Will definitely be calling Jeff again if we need any future structural work.

They were excellent. I can't begin to express my gratitude to them. They did an excellent job with managing expectations, pushing back at the City when appropriate, collaborating with an HOA (not fun or easy), and communication. The JSA team is diligent with time tracking and the use of Asana to track tasks internally and to provide outstanding customer service. They have experience bringing projects to the City's Architectural Review Board, but in our situation, they argued convincingly that our project (which sought to complete an emergency repair to address safety and water intrusion issues) should get a waiver. I found JSA originally by perusing meeting minutes for projects using James Hardie plank.

First off we are super happy with Tolga and the team at TY engineering…read more We were doing a simple restucco, repairing framing and window replacement. We decided to change the balcony wall from all stucco to a base pony wall and glass on top. A simple change triggered the need for full building plans for a triplex from the early 1960s, engineering for wind and load calculations and the dreaded California coastal commission review as we are changing a design element. TY came on the next day to walk the project and and the following day, one of the engineers came out to climb the scaffolding, take photos and measurements. Within a short time TY had two different options on how we could do the glass on top of the pony wall TY helped us all through the process when both Coastal and the city wanted additional information Very happy with the service they provide.

Whenever I had questions, he and his team took the time to answer them clearly, and when something needed more explanation, they invited me in to go over it instead of brushing me off.

Tolga also went above and beyond by helping me with referrals. I highly recommend them.

Jeremy was informative, responsive and customer service oriented. I first called him when I noticed…read morecracks in the stucco on the outside of my house and hairline cracks on the interior drywall. He came over and did some quick measurements and was able to tell us which direction and roughly how much our foundation was settling. He explained that in our area, clay-rich soils expand and contract with the wet/dry seasons and our issue was likely due to poor drainage in our backyard that allowed water to pool and seep under the foundation prompting one side of our house's foundation to settle (sink) incrementally over the years until the tension started to cause the cracking we observed. Based on the amount that our house had settled he said we were right in the gray area between just needing to improve our drainage and monitoring for further settling, or going the more expensive route and having helical supports installed under our foundation to prevent our foundation from settling further. Jeremy was not pushing us in either direction, just presenting us the information and allowing us to make our own decision. After doing a significant amount of research on foundation settling, we looked into getting some quotes and Jeremy provided multiple contractor references. We had four contractors come out and found that they each provide free quotes that included measuring with advanced equipment to determine precisely how much the foundation has settled (only around 1-2") throughout all sides of the house. Their mapping was more detailed, but fairly consistent with what Jeremy had originally told us which provided us some level of comfort that they weren't manipulating the numbers to sell us on needing more piers. There was one contractor whose measurements came in more significant than all the others, but it was not one of the contractors that Jeremy had referenced. Even though we weren't an extreme case, for peace of mind to stop the house from having any further settling, we ended up going with a contractor that Jeremy had referenced who had proposed a middle-ground approach using a limited amount of helical supports and expanding polyurethane foam to support our problem area. We were very happy with their work and it was a solid reference from Jeremy. Jeremy did also offer to help us draw up plans and assist with permitting if we opted to go that route, but due to the smaller size of the job, we chose not to pursue that option. There is a lot to navigate with evaluating foundation issues and deciding what route to take for each individual situation. It is helpful to have a knowledgeable resource like Jeremy who helped get us started and provide some helpful guidance along the way. Thanks Jeremy. *Note - photos are of third party contractor referenced by Jeremy to give Yelpers an idea of what final work ends up looking like.

Jeremy and his crew are extremely knowledgeable and thorough in their analysis. Furthermore, he explained to me in great detail with various drawings what was happening to the house, with the final conclusion that there wasn't a significant issue at the moment. His explanations were detailed and easy to understand. I would highly recommend Jeremy if you have any questions about house settling or foundation issues, and would certainly call Jeremy again if I have any further structural concerns.

He is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. I would say the same about Brian and Nadir, who were the leads on my job. Brian especially, went above and beyond. Anytime I reached out to him he responded immediately, and was on site whenever I needed him. My garage was a nightmare scenario. I contacted just about every contractor who works on this kind of thing, from LA to San Diego. Not one of them could figure it out. Not one. This went on for 2 years. Alpha Structural took on a very tough job, and did what no other company could. They completely solved my garage flooding problem with a very strategic and comprehensive plan. Do yourself a favor and use this company! Don't waste time with others. Alpha Structural won't let you down.
