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.

We planned…read moreto go with the recommendation from our general contractor, thinking that this would be the easiest to coordinate with the rest of our project. Scheduling was not a smooth process, however, and more than a week after they were contacted, we still had not been given an appointment. We contacted Nick at Colonna Consulting and easily scheduled a date for the assessment. We were also finally given a date by the first company, which was one day earlier than Nick's schedule. Their contract stated that reports were usually ready in 2-3 days, but that this was not guaranteed. Nick told us we could have a report the same day and that he would work on the architectural drawing over the weekend (appointment was on a Friday afternoon) if we needed one. We are very happy that we decided to go with Colonna Consulting. Nick arrived on time for our appointment. He was very professional and spent more time than we expected explaining what he found and the appropriate remedy. He was extremely patient and answered all of our questions. We did need an architectural drawing, which was completed over the weekend and sent by email on Monday. He sent the original directly to our contractor for submission with the permit application. I recommend Colonna Consulting without any reservation.

He took his time reviewing every single thing that I had on my list. He never once scoffed or brushed off even the tiniest of drywall cracks or nail pops that I was nervous about. I shared with him I was a first time home owner and he even offered some tips on how to repair some of the unsightly cracks or poor workmanship that I was asking him to review. He helped me understand some of the specifics of how the home was built, clearly outlined what was normal, and things I can watch out for in the future that would elicit more concern. I found his price to be extremely fair for his expertise, and I appreciated that he had a separate, optional price for a written report, so for those like myself that didn't end up needing to do any remediations, I didn't end up paying for that additional service. I highly recommend Jim to help stomp out things that are making you toss and turn at night like me, and to be used during the inspection process for a new home. Thank you, Jim!

Michael showed compassion…read more I called Michael after I was a victim of a scam. A fraudulent waterproofing company that I unfortunately hired. They started the escavation and then half way through started trying to extort more money out of me. It was at that point that I made a decision to rid them from my property and accept the loss and damages. With my house now exposed to the elements and in imminent danger of collasping. I needed to find a reputable company fast. I called Structional Engineering and Design and spoke with Michael. He came out the same day to survey the area that had been partially dug out by the scammers. Due to the urgency, Michael got me on his schedule and started the work the following week. When you are going through a devastating and life-changing time. You need a compassionate and meticulous group of individuals working for you to restore your home. You can rely on Michael for prompt assistance. Michael and his team worked from early morning into the nighttime hours completing the escavation and underpinning. It was a big job and a lot of hard work. All of the guys were professional, hardworking and did a wonderful job restoring my deck after the escavation. Michael kept me informed and explained each step to me. From begin to end the Michael and his guys were simply top notch. From the start with Michael's honesty, fairness and transparency was a level above everyone else I'll had dealt with. The only thing better than the quality of his work is Michael's character. They even hauled the tons of dirt and rock with no extra charge! I'm very happy I found this company to do business with. It's been almost 4 months and I have not had a drop of water in the basement and it feels great not having to worry about it. What began as a nightmare was soon met with sit back and relax, WE GOT THIS!!!!!!
