WARNING! BEWARE! BE CAREFUL!
I had a home inspection done on a house I was purchasing and the home inspector recommended that I get a structural engineer to check for a POSSIBLE problem with the main beam in the crawl space, and in the attic for a POSSIBILITY that some trusses might have been removed.
I contacted Roy Dedeic for him to come out and evaluate the structural integrity of the stated above areas. I had bad vibes from the start when I met him. When Roy came out to the house he brought his son that he introduced to me as head of the building division of the company. That alone didn't seem right because it was not certain that there was any problem with the structural integrity of the house.
They were evaluating the structure for almost 3 hours. When they were done Roy promised that I would receive an emailed report in 2 days. Two days later I did not receive the report. The next day I called Roy and asked about the report and he rudely shouts at me that he had emergencies and did not have time to complete my report. He then promises that I will get the report by the next end of day. The next day he still hasn't sent the report. At this point I am having real bad vibes about him and his company.
I decide at this point to contact the town building codes dept to see if I can get someone to come and inspect the attic, and crawl space main beam. I was lucky to have the head of the Township building codes and construction to come out and inspect the above areas. I was very happy and relieved to find out that the Township found NO structural problems with the attic or the main beam in the crawl.
Finally a WEEK LATE Roy emails me his report . The report states:
MSD REPAIR ESTIMATE
* MSD #1 (Affected roof rafters and truss bottom
chord members) repair $5,000.
* MSD #2 (Affected/damaged crawl-space joists
and beams) repair $10,000
* Engineering design and supervision $2,000
Total: $17,000.
Thank God Roy the deceiver was late with his report and I was able to get the truth from the Township and was able to get the house I really wanted.
By the way, Roy also made an insult about my beautiful dog. read more
