I hired Liang (Andy) Cheng as a structural engineer to inspect the property. He was running late, so we told him to call/text when he arrived at the property. He didn't do that. Instead, he performed the entire inspection with the listing agent (aka not our realtor), not calling until he was done. When I got there, he told me that "everything was fine" and that there were "no problems". He took no photos and said it would take 2 days to have the report. Later questions uncovered the fact that he neglected to inspect many of the problem areas, for which I have attached some helpful reference photos. When I asked why, he said that he "didn't know he had to inspect [those areas". I reminded him that if he had done the inspection with me, instead of with the SELLER'S REAL ESTATE AGENT, he would have known. He seemed put off by this notion. Since he had an incomplete inspection, no photos, and no ability to generate a written report before our deadline, we were left with no choice but to terminate our professional relationship. I have no way to judge the quality of his work, as no service was performed. I can only recommend not hiring him.

It's interesting to see positive reviews commenting on Dan's pricing and work quality. After…read moreterminating my most recent project with Dan, I hired other contractors to finish the job. This made me realize that excellent workmanship can easily be found for more reasonable pricing. The starting point for my project was an already gutted space consisting of a former walk-in closet and a large bathroom. The goal was to make the bathroom smaller so the closet area could function as an extra bedroom. For privacy reasons, the new bedroom needed its own entrance and bathroom access, while the master bedroom required a separate bathroom entrance. After an initial consultation, Dan sent Noel to start framing the very next day. Dan did not provide even a simple sketch of the new layout and, as far as I know, did not take measurements. As a result, a framing error was made and I was charged both for the installation and the correction ($1,100/day). After a second faulty doorway was installed in the bathroom--despite my purchasing a tub Dan had recommended and sending him the specifications--I terminated the project. Correcting this error later took my husband three full days. To complete the project, we hired other professionals. For example, we hired a plumber who installed all bathroom fixtures for $2,800 (two plumbers, two days). Based on their estimate of the prior work done by Dan's plumber, the total plumbing cost would have been approximately $3,600. Dan's plumbing estimate was $7,000. We also had to pay $850 to repair and bleed the baseboard heating system after the work done by Dan's plumber. Dan's carpentry estimate also raised concerns: 15 days at $1,100 per day. When I requested a list of full carpentry days, dates when no work was performed were included, such as picking up a check or a quick consultation. If you are working with Dan, I would strongly recommend that you keep a daily log of actual work performed and ask whether short consultation visits are billed. Another frustration was Dan's repeated attempts to convince me that I needed work I had never asked for. Dan and Noel stopped by for a consultation about closets and proposed installing a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This was surprising, given that I had previously paid them to remove the existing walk-in closet because I disliked it. I reminded them of this and indicated that I planned to purchase IKEA storage instead. Despite repeatedly expressing no interest in closet work, Dan continued suggesting that Noel come build closets. There was no proposal, no agreed scope of work, and no pricing, yet the texts kept coming ("Noel is free tomorrow and can start the closets.").

When I said I wasn't sure yet and was just starting the process, I was told, "if you don't know, go to IKEA." Completely dismissive and unprofessional. Most people calling are in the early stages and looking for guidance, not to be brushed off. A simple conversation about options, ranges, or even an invitation to come into the showroom would have been the appropriate response. There are plenty of options out here. Dont use DAN
