If you have a structure that needs to be inspected - hire Tony! My husband and I were looking to purchase a property in The Bronx, which had many retaining walls that we were nervous about. Tony was extremely meticulous in his inspection and knowledgeable in regard to his observations. He also listened to us, answered any questions we had and made us feel extremely comfortable with our decision. Tony knows his stuff. You will not regret hiring him to inspect any structured you are feeling apprehensive about! read more

I am giving this inspector two star only because he showed up on time. During the inspection, I specifically pointed out concerns about sagging floors. However, after only about 15 minutes of inspecting the entire house, he concluded there was nothing to worry about. About a month later, a contractor had to remove all of the floors due to significant sagging and install new joists because of damaged joists in the basement. In addition, there was water entering the basement due to improper grading -- something that was also never mentioned in the inspection. As a new homeowner, I relied on this inspection to identify major issues. This is my personal experience, others may have had a better one. read more

What a service that Anthony provides within a day. We had a horizontal crack on side of house from the front to the rear, the Rebar was exposed in the foundation and Anthony took his time to review the property for us. We would recommend him to anyone and will keep him in our contacts for future inspections. Thank you. read more

I highly recommend Tony if you would like to get your property checked. Tony was on time and answered any question I threw his way. He would explain everything in detail and explained why things occur the way they did. He offered improvements were needed and made me feel at ease after he was finished. He was very knowledge and advised any future checks I may want to get, if I really wanted to but didn't push for anything that wasn't needed. Would continue working with him for any future services I would need! read more

I noticed I had some cracking on the exterior of my house and Tony was out within 24 hours to inspect. He is meticulous and a great asset for anyone out there looking for a structural engineer. read more

Called AFM and spoke with Angela needed a structural foundation inspection and report. They were super responsive and scheduled Anthony out within a few days. Anthony showed up, was very communicative on his arrival time. He was super personable and super friendly was very knowledgeable and caring. Can't be happier with them!! Look forward to working together with Anthony on our future projects!! read more

I found Tony's service online and through Yelp. I needed an engineer to inspect a basement and a garage of a property that I was purchasing. I'm glad I went with him instead of the other guys. His assistant/receptionist was the first point of contact and he was responsive. Tony seemed to have a full schedule, but luckily we were able to work out a weekday afternoon on short notice and in the same week. I sent the office my inspection report from the home inspector (who recommended I find an engineer). I didn't actually talk to Tony until I met him in person a few days later. He was on time and friendly. He carried a camera and took photos as we walked through the areas of concern. Hearing his advice gave me some peace of mind and allowed me to formulate a plan of attack. The inspection only took half an hour, but it was worth the cost. He has an option where you can opt out of a written report with photos. Luckily, the issues were not severe and his verbal consultation during the inspection was more than enough. read more

I am in the process of selling our home and the buyer's contractor sited significant issues with our foundation and quoted an exorbitant amount to fix. This is extremely disturbing as I did not suspect any issues prior. I scoured Angie's list and found AFM. Looking through their website and their certifications, I decided to reach out. I submitted a request late Friday evening and received a call early Saturday morning from Tony. I was very pleased by his expeditious response. We scheduled time for him to come visit on Sunday and he meticulously accessed the issued with our foundation. This turned out to be a minor issue that would require a small effort to fix. He explained in detail what needed to be done which I greatly appreciated. AFM also was able to turnover the inspection report within a day. I could not have asked for a better experience with AFM and Tony. If you are looking for piece of mind, AFM will not disappoint. read more

Prompt return of phone call. Person that answered phone was efficient ans polite. The engineer tht came to examine the structural issue was thorough, competent and detail oriented. He recommended several options as it relates to a structural beam issue. One mitigation involved a steel beam. When pressed he recommended a lical sterl beam fabricator /installer who was excellent. AFM was a great help to us in fixing our issue. Anthony has a good sense of humor! read more

Every part of working with AFM has been great. Setting up the appointment went smoothly, and they (Anthony?) even asked some thoughtful preliminary questions about the problem (a leak) that we wanted to be inspected. Tony knew his stuff, listened carefully, asked smart directed questions, and figured out right away what needed to be done. Even payment was easy: they accept every form (cash, check, credit card, venmo, whatever). read more

Reached out to AFM to help figure out if a wall I wanted to take down in my co-op apartment was loaf bearing or not. They quick and accommodating on time which was amazing. Anthony came out to check out the apartment and have to admit, he's hilarious! Asked his opinion about a few things in the apartment and his answers were funny but on the ball. The letter for the co-op board came as promised which was amazing. Great service, great guy, great firm. Would not hesitate to reach out to him again. read more

Professional and timely service. We were looking for an engineer to provide a professional opinion about the possible removal of a portion of floor joists for our 2-story house. They were very helpful and provided a satisfying review, also very pleasant to work with. read more

Tony was very helpful and aliviated some of the worries regarding the built of the home I am trying to purchase.

I needed an evaluation by a structural engineer after being advised by my home inspector the need to look at the home's structure. AFM had great reviews, so we took a chance. Tony was awesome. He was great and understandable when explaining structural concerns to me, my husband, my parents and the agents (we always arrive with an entourage). He was knowledgeable about NYC codes. He helped relieve any fears we had about the structure of the home. We received the report when he said. Great job! read more

I needed a letter for a wall removal in my coop. They were quick to make an appointment, sent the letter within a couple of business days, and were always easy to reach by phone. read more

AFM Inspections & Engineering has been wonderful to work with. I've had the engineer Anthony our to my home twice. The first time was to assess some sloping in the home as well as cracks in our basement wall that were there when we purchased the home. The engineer came out and then provided a detailed report. The second time we had the engineer look at a beam that was put in incorrectly by a contractor in place of a load-bearing wall. Anthony gave us and our new contractor detailed instructions on how to fix the issue. And when my contractor had additionally questions over the next several days, Anthony promptly responded with answers. He even agreed to review pictures of the work once it is complete for our peace of mind. The other staff at AFM have also been professional and competent every time I have called as well. Finally, AFM's prices are very reasonable compared to other companies we had spoken to. I highly recommend AFM. read more

I can't say enough about the service provided by AFM. Just a great company to hire for your inspection and engineering needs. I used them to structurally inspect a very old house and Tony offered a ton of advice and had plenty of his own funny stories to share. He inspected the way previous restoration work was done and was able to point out the things he believed they did right vs. wrong. AFM would point out areas of concern but also recommend various options in terms of how to fix them. Some were urgent, most were not. But you just don't get that type of advice from your average home inspection company. This is not your black and white inspection company. AFM puts color behind all their recommendations and takes pride on educating their customers. The staff in the office is exceptional as well. Always returning my phone calls and emails and sending additional materials as needed. Hiring AFM is the easiest decision you will make in your home buying process! read more

Highly Recommended! I have used Anthony for two home inspections and he made himself available with short notice and did an outstanding job! His reports are comprehensive and very helpful, I couldn't be happier. Thank you! read more

My wife & I had an excellent experience with Anthony/AFM Inspections & Engineering.

Will contact in the future for any renovation queries as well. Thank you! Best of luck. read more

I needed an engineer specializing in wood frame construction to assess a beam in an opening in my house. AFM was very professional and responsive.
