Arrived on time, was very polite, and very detailed in going over his assessment of our home and even the proposals the other contractors sent us. For significantly less money than the work proposed, he was able to put us on the right track and avoid costly work that wouldn't have addressed our principal concerns. Will definitely be calling Jeff again if we need any future structural work.

Lionel and his team are extremely professional and quite helpful. Their services included a site visit as well as all the necessary calculations and plans needed for the city permitting process. They also took care of responding to the city planner's questions all the way to the finish line.

Highly recommend HMS to anyone who needs engineering they can trust. Will 100% be using them again.

They have been the most responsive and provided the most transparent quote outlining everything that we would be provided by them for the cost. We even inquired about an adjustment for the service required and they provided an amended quote before a couple others even sent their first quote in. Our circumstance may have changed, due to external reasons not needing to be mentioned, but if we do need to hire a land surveyor it will 100% be Denn because of how professional they were and how they actually value your business.

We needed…read moreto replace a 25-foot beam in our cathedral ceiling and sister lots of rafters--work that could have easily turned into a major disruption if done from the exterior. The team found a smart solution to complete the entire project from inside the house, which allowed us to avoid opening the roof and dealing with weather exposure. That alone gave us a lot of peace of mind. Aldo, the structural assessor, was especially helpful throughout the process--patient with our many questions, clear in his communication, and thorough. Erick was consistently responsive as things came up. On site, Gilberto did excellent work with the team and provided steady, capable support through the build. Overall, we're very grateful for their professionalism, problem-solving approach, and the quality of the finished work.

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.

I specifically requested a civil engineer to look at the drainage situation at our house, along with the waterproofing at our exterior doors. Their web site states that they have civil engineers on staff, and I therefore thought they'd be able to help. In my case, however, they sent a structural engineer and he didn't have a whole lot to say and was apparently unable to comment with any level of detail about the concerns I had regarding drainage or waterproofing. It was honestly just an $1100 waste of time.

We wanted three walls removed and our 8ft ceilings vaulted to 11ft. He spent about 4 hours on site and covered every square foot of our home to make sure he had all the necessary dimensions, pictures and details in order to make an assessment. He presented three options to me for vaulting, discussed pros and cons of each and left me with a digital packet of all of the notes and pictures he took. The turn around time for drawings was one week and required one re-submission to the city with a minor note correction. Overall we are thrilled with the vaulted ceilings which would not have been possible without FJ engineering.

They took the time to fully understand our vision and translated it into a thoughtful, well-executed design.

Even when we encountered constraints due to city regulations, they worked closely with us to develop a revised design that both met approval requirements and aligned with our needs.
