Frank is very personable, explained all areas of interest which would raise flags, which items should be given immediate attention and others which were normal settling such as vertical/horizontal cracking. His suggestions of benefits such as additional attic insulation, drainage away from the foundation, etc., put us at ease that nothing serious was noticed, just maintaining good maintenance practices. Frank made sure all our questions were answered and stated not to hesitate to contact him for any issues in the future prior to hiring someone. Highly recommend 'PST ENGINEERING'.

She also lectured me about the training that engineers receive after I told her about another company that I have coming to inspect my home. She was incredibly rude and patronizing. The lost a potential customer for no good reason. Sad.

Relocating from the socialist city of Portland Oregon a year ago, my wife and I were looking for a…read morehome and were introduced to Gayla Hiatt and Kerns Homebuilders. One thing led to another and our new home was move-in ready in November 2020. We couldn't be happier with the build. We found Kerns to be easy to work with, flexible, and responsive. We were new to homebuilding and thus had numerous questions throughout the process. We didn't always get the answer we wanted but we always got an answer. Of importance was the quality of work and although I am neither in construction nor design, I can attest to the quality workmanship thanks to friends who are. Worth noting is that Kerns employs an in-house designer and we found her profoundly helpful. Contrast that with run-of-the-mill builders who instruct you to go "pick out what you want" and you can see the value in having someone dedicated to that space and willing to guide you. As one would expect, we have had minor issues since moving in but they have all been addressed in a timely, efficient, and effective manner. Again, we couldn't be more pleased with our new home and highly recommend Kerns Homebuilders for all the right reasons. Trust me - you'll feel right at home.

He inspected every space, crawled in the crawl space and took at least two hours assessing everything. He did not rush at all he took the time to really investigate everything.

The very costly job ( $20K+) was performed quickly ( in winter). Since they offer a 3rd party free…read moreinterest payment for 2 years, which most customers would take, and we would expect that they were paid in full right away However, the crew NEVER came back to tamp down the soil in the area where the foundation around the house was dug up and piled up for months. The initial explanation was that the soil is too wet due to the spring rains. This is May and the rainly season has past. However, after multiple contacts, and phones, the crew never came out, even after a schedule was set. The yard in front and back is a MESS and we are still waiting for them to come out and tamp down and level the dirt. There are 3 very heavy 3 ft long concrete down spout blocks that were moved out of place and NEVER put back. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO SAY THAT THE TAMPING DOWN AND LEVELING THE SOIL IS NOT PART OF THE JOB OR COST WHEN THE WHOLE JOB COST OVER $20k+. The salesman seems very nice and did a great job of selling. However, the company crew never came back to " finish" the job, because I think they were already paid. Another friend of mine had similar job done about a month before this job close to the end of last year (2025), she is still waiting and trying to get them to come out to tamp down and level the dirt. NEXT BUYER BEWARE!!!

I would never recommend this company - go somewhere else! I hired them to install a septic system…read morefor a new construction home. They designed and installed a system which I've had nothing but trouble with over the last 14 years. Each time I've informed them of an issue, it is difficult to get them to come look at it. They talk as though there is nothing wrong with it even though the alarm is going off continuously. When they've finally come out, they've discovered float switches have gone bad causing an actual problem. This last spring and summer (2019), we initially got quite a bit of rain and my septic alarm was going off constantly - I was told it was just because of the rain. Mid-July the rest of my yard was dry, but my lateral field was like walking on a sponge - I couldn't mow in that area at all (all summer) had to use a weed eater for the entire area. I contacted them again and once again they acted like they didn't want to have anything to do with it. When they finally showed up, they said they think it is ground water getting into the system, and that they didn't dig the curtain (interceptor) drain deep enough when they originally designed it. They said they'd give me a bid on digging it deeper - which should fix the problem. I waited over a month before contacting them again since I still had not received a bid, and my next correspondence was that they would get me a bid within the week. I then was contacted saying they wanted me to pay $500 for them to dig a "test pit" to make sure that the problem was in fact ground water. I questioned the pricing because I didn't want to just pay $500 for them to troubleshoot and then be charged thousands for repair and have the trouble shooting be completely separate when the two could be combined at a reduced cost (dig part of the deeper interceptor drain and use it as part of the fix once verified that ground water was in fact the source of the problem). The response I received from Scott Gann is posted below. They designed and installed the system but they won't stand behind their work. I'd never use them and recommend you do the same.
