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'.

I had the pleasure of having Grant himself come out and look over my basement. I had bought the…read morehouse two weeks ago and knew there was water in the basement. I had patched up the one main hole but had concerns about the cracks in the walls (which the foundation inspector told me I needed to dig out and fill in with epoxy). Grant spent the next twenty minutes with me schooling me in the simplicity of "how water gets into a basement." He walked around my basement and outside and pointed out the things that needed to be addressed (window wells, grading, guttering, pitch of driveway, etc.). All in all, he was very straightforward in telling me that I needed to work on those things and work backwards. That this was a simple process of eliminating the issues of why water is coming into a basement and there was no need for his company to do anything at this time. I could have hugged him. I had been preparing myself to ask whether he wanted an arm or leg as payment and he let me keep both along with dignity. It is such a blessing to find a company in a trade that is so honest. I plan on making a point of telling anyone who will listen about my experience and if and when I still am having issues with my basement I know exactly who I will be calling.

Deeply Disappointed - A Cautionary Tale…read more If you're a new homeowner looking for reliable sewer work, I strongly urge you to look elsewhere. Our experience with Jonathan Jennings and his company was nothing short of a nightmare, and we feel compelled to share the details so others can avoid the same frustration. The project was initially estimated to take one week. In reality, it dragged on for nearly two months. From the very beginning, communication was abysmal. We were repeatedly told that our water would be turned back on by the end of the day--only to return home to a house with no running water. This happened multiple times, and each time we were left scrambling to make alternative arrangements. Jonathan's bid on the project was inaccurate. He assured us that the work could be completed without cutting into the driveway. That turned out to be false. Not only did the driveway have to be cut, but Jonathan also refused to complete the concrete repair in a reasonable timeframe. To make matters worse, he demanded full payment before the driveway was restored, claiming it was a "separate job"--even though the need for driveway work was a direct result of his own miscalculation. As the delays mounted, so did the excuses. Eventually, Jonathan began screening our calls and refusing to respond, even while our home was still without water. This level of unprofessionalism is unacceptable in any industry, but especially when dealing with something as essential as a home's water and sewer system. To top it all off, near the end of the project, we discovered that no permit had been filed with the county. We had to personally call and confirm this with the county office. Only after we confronted Jonathan did he finally submit the permit. When the inspector came out, the project failed inspection due to multiple errors--further delaying completion. There were other issues as well, but frankly, this review is already long enough. The bottom line is this: communication and honesty are the foundation of any reputable business, and this company demonstrated neither. What should have been a straightforward project turned into a stressful, drawn-out ordeal that left us without basic utilities for far too long. I would not recommend this company to anyone--especially not to new homeowners who are already juggling the challenges of settling into a new place. Save yourself the stress and hire someone who values transparency, accountability, and customer service.

Fast forward and we are selling the house and decided to use this gentleman's company again. On the day I reached him he was out a few hours later to give a bid. He used a ladder. Many contractors don't, which is surprising. The following day the estimate was received. It's best to obtain several estimates. This company had provided quality work but they are extremely expensive. Yes, I've heard the saying "You get what you pay for." However, when estimates are priced based on line by line items instead of per project; it can become unclear if someone is trying to take advantage of a project or is providing a high bid because they are too busy to accept a new project. Make sure when hiring a contractor you purchase the materials for the identical cost that the contractor would have purchased them, too.

I am sharing my firsthand experience with this business to help other consumers…read more In late April, I hired them to inspect a water leak located where the mantle and tile meet near the fireplace doors. They diagnosed the issue and recommended replacing the chase cover. Based on their expert recommendation, we paid them $2,625 for the replacement. Unfortunately, during a heavy rainfall in early July, the exact same leak returned. We called the company back, and they sent out the same technician. During this second visit, he performed a water isolation test between the siding and shingles. This test successfully proved the leak was coming from that specific area, which I have documented in the attached photos. Looking at the documentation they provided me, a clear contradiction stands out: *First Report: Listed the flashing condition as "Fair" and recommended the $2,625 chase cover. *Second Report: Listed the exact same flashing as "Poor" and resulted in a new quote of $7,100 to fix the actual source of the leak. Because we paid thousands of dollars based on an initial inspection that failed to resolve the issue, I am in the process of filing a formal complaint with the Kansas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division. I highly recommend potential customers carefully review my attached, redacted inspection reports and photos before hiring this company. I have attached pictures of the reports and quotes on google. UPDATE: OWNER of full service chimney co., Thank you for your response. I have reviewed call recordings, transcripts, and read your email. Let me be perfectly clear: attempting to deflect accountability by implying a communication disconnect between my husband and me does not alter the physical evidence, your own written reports, or the signed contract. You have explicitly confirmed our case in your own email. You stated: "Our repair technician noticed that once the chase cover was removed, he was able to see from the inside of the chimney that the flashing showed signs of allowing water in." If your repair crew saw active flashing leaks and visible wood rot while the chase cover was off, re-assembling the chimney, taking our $2,625.38, and leaving our home to suffer structural water damage for another two months is the absolute definition of a negligent repair. Furthermore, our signed contract explicitly mandated: "While the chase cover is off, we will inspect the areas we can see around the roofline and flashing for water entry." Your team completely failed that contractual obligation. If they performed a proper inspection as promised, work should have been halted the moment the old cover was removed and the rot was visible. Instead, your company chose to finish an ineffective repair, collect our money, and wait until July to present an outrageous $7,100.85 upsell to fix the actual issue. Pointing to boilerplate fine print about a "1% surface area" to excuse an aggregate failure to stop the leak we hired you to fix is completely unacceptable. We will not be bullied or manipulated into paying $7,100.85 for your company's failure to properly diagnose this in April. As requested in my previous email, provide the line-by-line itemized invoice for the April work and the itemized breakdown for the new quote immediately. We are currently acquiring competitive estimates from licensed roofing and siding professionals in Overland Park, and we have fully initiated our complaint documentation for the Kansas Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division.
