From start to finish, the level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail was truly outstanding. The engineer demonstrated a deep understanding of structural integrity while also respecting the design vision for the space. He carefully evaluated the existing structure and developed precise plans to safely support the load while allowing us to achieve the open, modern kitchen we wanted. His calculations and documentation were thorough and well-organized, which made the permitting and construction process much smoother. What impressed me most was his ability to balance technical precision with practical solutions. He communicated clearly, answered all questions patiently, and ensured the plans were easy for the contractor to follow. The result was a seamless transformation--our kitchen now feels bright, spacious, and beautifully integrated with the rest of the home. If you need an engineer for structural modifications, especially for projects involving load-bearing walls, I highly recommend his services. His expertise, reliability, and commitment to quality truly set him apart.

It was a nightmare until Ivan came to my home and said he was familiar with this program. Immediately I felt some relief after he explained the process. Ivan took measurements and pictures to submit to the city. After getting quotes from other places Ivan and Isaac came back with a detailed work order that explained the whole project. I was comfortable withe the numbers and the knowledge in the city engineering process. The price and the peace of mind were both great. The sidewalk is back and the city is satisfied withe the work. Highly recommend family owned businesses.

After pointing out the areas of concern to him, Ken offered a couple non-serious possibilities for the phenomenon, and was able to assure me there was no threat to either the structural integrity of the house or the cement slab foundation - and pretty much bottom-lined it, saying there's really nothing to worry about. I really appreciated Ken's easy-going demeanor, and sensed zero interest in him trying to sell me a repair service that wasn't needed. Ken is just an honest guy offering his experienced opinion - in no doubt, putting yet another homeowners' unwarranted concerns to rest. Would be nice If all companies sent inspectors who operated the same way as Ken.

David Thomas is an incredible engineer. I've been working with him (I am a designer) for about 3…read moreyears on about 20 projects per year, both commercial and residential. He's smart, personable, works quickly, and does a great job. I have stopped getting bids from other engineers because David completes the work faster, more accurately and without any hassle. For instance, we just worked together on a new restaurant that was structurally complicated. The plan checker at the city only had one structural question after reviewing the plans. This is unheard of. The result is that your project will be permitted much faster if David Thomas engineering generates the structural plans and calcs. Unlike other engineers, he is responsive and always answers the phone, and he is fun to talk to. I highly recommend David Thomas Engineering, you should give him a call if you're looking for a great engineer.
