Inspector was late. He was not prepared to complete an inspection. He did not bring any tools at all. I had used this company back in 2008 and they did a great job. The inspection they completed in March 2024 was a joke. Do it yourself before you use them for an inspection. What a joke. Richard B. read more

Short story: I got scammed. Long story: I hired Corum to evaluate several structural issues on my property. John Graf came out and evaluated the issues, and answered my questions. After payment, they supplied a report concerning the problems they found and potential solutions. After providing the report to several contractors, I was told I should contact Corum again to get clarifications about a couple of the recommendations. I contacted Corum for clarification on their recommendations, and after many calls, many texts, and many emails I have not received a response. To date, I have not received a response despite trying to contact them for two months. The purpose of hiring Corum was to get an evaluation, and instructions that were detailed enough to supply to a contractor to get the issues fixed. However, since I paid Corum, apparently they have no motivation to clarify a small mistake made in their report. Basically, they wrote some incomprehensible things in a report, and then vanished. They do not stand by their work. It is a terrible way to do business. Don't use Corum - if you have issues you will have to hire another company anyway. read more

It has been an overall disappointing experience with Corum. They were misleading with the payment and what came with it. Communication was less than adequate. Constantly were promised things and then never received. We trusted a recommendation from a friend and wish we had found these reviews prior. Hoping to help anyone considering using Corum and strongly advise going another route. read more

For approximately 2.5 weeks, I attempted to secure Corum Enginnering P.C. for a deck/sunroom project. After several phone calls where I was informed I would receive a follow-up call from Mr Corum (never happened) and a few unanswered emails, I finally received an email advising they were too busy and unable to assist. In my estimation, they truly are so busy that they can't/won't effectively communicate with potential customers or they simply lack a customer-centric focus. Either way, I'd say folks looking to use their services should pack their patience and prepare to run the gauntlet in order to have the privilege of spending their hard-earned money at Corum Engineering P.C. read more

When I was shopping for Structural Engineers in March of this year (2021) I did not see a single, negative review for Corum so naturally, I chose them. Ron & John came to my house and we went through it together from top to bottom. When they finished, they assured me that it was "not so bad!" They were friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. They explained everything that needed to be done. They sent me a report in a timely manner. When the work was completed I called Corum to come out and check that the work was done correctly. John came out, assessed everything and even texted me information about measures I could take to prevent further problems. I absolutely recommend Corum Engineering for their excellent service and expertise. They are my forever engineers! read more

Sellers beware! This business is highly unscrupulous and borderline fraudulent! As sellers we requested a home inspection. The tech came out and asked if we needed a consult (~$325) or a full report ($525) and we said we needed only the consult but needed it within the next 48 hours to meet the buyers deadline. After numerous attempts to reach the technician, we finally received an email. The email contained a link to the report but we had to plunk down the full $525 to access and read the report (we only wanted a consult) Because of the delayed response,, we were forced to pay the $525. Then, once we opened the report, we see the report wasn't even addressed to us, it was addressed to the BUYER! So what they had done was performed the inspection for the buyer (unbeknownst to us) and then took our money (as sellers) without informing us of the conflict, Then, they forced us to pay for the full report (we had wanted a consult) and then trotted out the exact same report for both parties while taking money from both sides! When we called to see if this was a mistake (it's a professional engineering company after all) they not only said it was not a mistake but insisted they were within their rights to do this. I was stunned because it was clearly a conflict of interests for them to take money from both sides and use the exact same report (they hadn't even taken the minimal effort to change the report to our name!) So I asked to speak with the owner because in my mind there was no way a business would operate like this! Well, I spoke with Ron Corum and his response and tone were stunning! Not only was he emboldened in his position but then went on a rant about his position and justification that this was done to protect the privacy of the buyer! His reasoning is that they can't share the report they created for the buyer. What?? They sent us the exact same report and in fact it was addressed to the buyer! He said that was a clerical error, it should have been addressed to us. So when I asked where was OUR report he said it was the same report! What?? That's right same report! So it's the owner telling me they use the same report (for the sake of "consistency") for both the buyer and the seller, change the name on the report and charge both parties full fees! Wow! Shame on you Mr. Corum! You should all steer clear of this rude and unethical organization! read more

Terrible. Stay away. Absolutely horrendous communication. Texts, calls, or emails and the owner, Ron, will not get back with you on jobs HE is responsible for. Unrealistic turn times that were never communicated. Over 4 months and still no reports back. Front office staff cannot even get in touch and can't give any updates because they are never told what is going on. read more
