I think it's important to give credit when credit is due. The entire team at Reverence Engineering…read moreis dedicated to providing a professional product and experience. I reached out to Reverence for my custom home build. I had purchased architectural drawings from another company and needed Brett and his team to provide the structural set of plans. The first thing that stood out to me was the ability for Brett and his team to listen to exactly what I needed from them. They took every bit of information from me and set expectations and timelines that were adhered to met. The next thing that stood out was their communication. They have weekly updates they send you in order to keep you up to speed on your project's progress. I never at one point felt that I was left out of the loop or forgotten about. Whenever Brett had a question he would reach out via a zoom call and give me a visual idea of what his questions where based off the planes that where in front of him. All in all if you need structural engineering big or small give Brett and his team a call. They will meet you expectations and deliver results on time.

I submitted a request to Reverence for an Architect in early January 2026, I received a call back…read morefrom Brett to go over the services Reverence provides and their approach to support the clients. At the end of the call, Brett stated he would work on the contract and send over for review. The following week, I called Reverence to better understand the timeline for contract creation so I could maintain realistic expectations; I was told I should have the contract that day (January 13) or the following day (January 14). I contacted Reverence on January 20, after not receiving a response and was advised a message would be sent to Brett for an update. I again did not receive a response (no callback nor email) and contacted Reverence on January 22 and again on February 2, and was provided a similar response (that I should receive the contract soon if not today or the next). I subsequently left a message on February 4, indicating that I no longer wished to proceed with their services and would look elsewhere. I have no doubt that Reverence provides customers with solid service once contracted, however, I find it is equally important to effectively communicate with prospective clients to ensure transparency. I would have gladly waited a few more weeks if that was the standard and was communicated to me. Hopefully future clients will have a better experience.

From start to finish, the level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail was truly outstanding. The engineer demonstrated a deep understanding of structural integrity while also respecting the design vision for the space. He carefully evaluated the existing structure and developed precise plans to safely support the load while allowing us to achieve the open, modern kitchen we wanted. His calculations and documentation were thorough and well-organized, which made the permitting and construction process much smoother. What impressed me most was his ability to balance technical precision with practical solutions. He communicated clearly, answered all questions patiently, and ensured the plans were easy for the contractor to follow. The result was a seamless transformation--our kitchen now feels bright, spacious, and beautifully integrated with the rest of the home. If you need an engineer for structural modifications, especially for projects involving load-bearing walls, I highly recommend his services. His expertise, reliability, and commitment to quality truly set him apart.

The estimate was astronomical and would take months to complete. I brought in Distinguished Structural Engineers to give me a second opinion. They give me a written analysis with lots of pictures pointing out some issues, but they gave us peace of mind that the structure was fundamentally sound and only needed attention in a few areas. We used one of their recommended roofers and spent a tiny fraction of the first roofer's estimate to correct the issues. I highly recommend Distinguished Structural Engineers for any work you're considering.

After pointing out the areas of concern to him, Ken offered a couple non-serious possibilities for the phenomenon, and was able to assure me there was no threat to either the structural integrity of the house or the cement slab foundation - and pretty much bottom-lined it, saying there's really nothing to worry about. I really appreciated Ken's easy-going demeanor, and sensed zero interest in him trying to sell me a repair service that wasn't needed. Ken is just an honest guy offering his experienced opinion - in no doubt, putting yet another homeowners' unwarranted concerns to rest. Would be nice If all companies sent inspectors who operated the same way as Ken.

David Thomas is an incredible engineer. I've been working with him (I am a designer) for about 3…read moreyears on about 20 projects per year, both commercial and residential. He's smart, personable, works quickly, and does a great job. I have stopped getting bids from other engineers because David completes the work faster, more accurately and without any hassle. For instance, we just worked together on a new restaurant that was structurally complicated. The plan checker at the city only had one structural question after reviewing the plans. This is unheard of. The result is that your project will be permitted much faster if David Thomas engineering generates the structural plans and calcs. Unlike other engineers, he is responsive and always answers the phone, and he is fun to talk to. I highly recommend David Thomas Engineering, you should give him a call if you're looking for a great engineer.
