Let me start by saying all I did was call this business to ask about them leveling a house I am…read morerenovating. Once the phone was answered I was greeted with the name of the business but not the name of the person I was speaking with. I asked and they responded with the name of the business again and then said you called us, who are you? I was taken aback but responded with "I'm a potential customer, and my name." Still no name as to who I was speaking to. As I was making the call for the gentleman I am doing the work and their is a language barrier as the homeowner doesn't speak good English I was told their would be a 400 fee just to apply online for someone to come look at the house. If I was the homeowner on the other hand it would have been free. I explained this and he said that's how it is. I am retired disabled Veteran and this man was just plain rude to me. He needs some customer service intervention skills and should not be answering phones.

Total scam business…read more Contracted with him to design a kitchen to include design plans, structural design work to remove a bearing wall, and design front and rear porch with steps. From the get go, plan dimensions were wrong and never verified in the field, cabinet sizes were not standard and to the height we selected. We even told him the sizes we wanted. Being a retired carpenter by trade, I knew what I was talking about. The owner said he was a registered architect in Kentucky when he was not, nor registered in Florida. He has no structural engineer that works for him either. Architectural and engineering plans, along with a building permit that was to take eight weeks total was still in a schematic phase after seven weeks. He blamed me for a difficult design and that was why the time took so long. Problem was he didn't know how to design cabinets. For example, he called for a standard sink base cabinet which is 36" to be 37". Other base cabinets in plan were not standard sizes and had multiple filler strips attached. Poor design. What took him seven weeks to attempt to design was done by a local cabinet store in five hours. When I complained and wanted money back I was told my $4500 dollars was non refundable as per my contract. Now I have to take him to court to try to get my money back. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. This was nothing but a scam business with no experience. I tried to resolve this amicably with him but all I was told is money is non-refundable.

They have the absolute worst customer service. When I hired them they told me the project would…read moretake a total of 10 business days. The project actually took approximately 2 months. Workers would come and go as they pleased, and there would be some weeks where workers did not show up at all. I would have to call and complain before work would start again. No one called and provided me an update as to what was going on with the project and whenever I called the office the receptionist would indicate someone would call me back later that day. No one ever called me back, not once. I probably called upwards of 6 times with questions to no response. Moreover, I had the contractor come out to give me an estimate for another project. He came out weeks after my request and after meeting never sent me the estimate. They are also insanely expensive. I will never use this company again. The only positive thing I can say is that the work was done correctly.

Here's the deal. I was buying a house with a crawl space. In addition to my general home…read moreinspection, my realtor recommended I get a structural inspection since the house was built in the 30's. Just to be proactive and double check. For only $100, they'll give you a report and piece of mind. NOT. They came out on a Monday to do the inspection. My "inspection period" on my contract ran out on Thursday...I was assured by the inspector that I would have a report by Thursday and at least a phone call from the engineer by Wednesday evening with at least some general info (i.e. the house is falling down don't buy it) After at least 6 phone calls and conversations with Linda (receptionist), and an angry e-mail to the company, I finally received the report Friday at 4:45pm. Their customer service was AWFUL the entire time. Even after 3 phone calls, I was STILL explaining my situation to Linda (did she really not remember??), and the engineer Scott, basically called me a liar several times. At one point, they actually stopped answering my calls. On top of that, the report indicated $20,000 worth of damage and repair. Cue: panic....especially considering it was now the weekend. That following Monday, my dad and I both put phone calls into Wisdom for more information on the report, and no phone calls were ever returned. I hired another structural company (Dansco) to come out and do another inspection on Tuesday. (it was more expensive...but totally worth it)...and their report was starkly different. Only about $5,000 of repair. Kind of convenient that Wisdom actually does the work and Dansco only does inspections. Clearly this is a case of Wisdom trying to scare me into unnecessary repairs for their own benefit. Pay the extra money for Dansco to do your structural inspection.

Condescending and rude. I emailed EMA for some information…read moreand pricing. I wanted to remove a partial wall dividing my living room and kitchen, and I needed to know if it was load-bearing or not. Their quote for consulting and providing papers for permitting was $2,250, triple the price of what multiple contractors told me it would cost to ACTUALLY remove the wall ($750). I was surprised. I thought for sure they thought I was a big commercial place or it was a bigger job than it was, so I emailed back to confirm. Their response was awful, condescending and really rude. Here are the emails word for word: Hello, I'm trying to find a structural engineer to tell me if a wall in my home is load bearing or not, and if it can safely be removed. Do you do that kind of work? I'm in Clearwater, FL, and I'm having a really hard time trying to find a professional to look at it. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. All the best, (my name) ________________ Yes, we do this type of structural work.
