In September of 2021 at the age of 71, I contracted withLevel Build Design in Loveland, CO. to fix…read moremy sagging hallway floor. An engineer from Level Engineering & Inspection LLC in Loveland came out, did some measurements & went in my crawlspace to see the problem. The company put in 2 beams. When finished, I stated that the floor still felt some sagging. I recall it being suggested that any more raising may cause the walls to crack. I found out those men don't work there anymore. 3 years later I had that 2021 permit pulled for the work and found that first it had been FAILED but a statement from the inspector said it may pass if he received a letter of explanation from the engineer. It was then PASSED on her letter stating the beams were "structurally acceptable" and that it had "(4)- 7 1/4" LVL beams" that don't require blocking. But this was UNTRUE being there were only (3)- 7 1/4" LVL beams and, I think, needed roll blocking. Then I had it inspected again in 2025 and the new permit was FAILED due to " beams not constructed per engineer's letter" and "splices at beams need to be on bearing points". LBD and Level Engineering & Inspection LLC had constructed 2 new beams about 5 feet away from the original beams and placed 5 feet more load for the opposite floor to carry, no wonder it still had a sag. There work cost me over $11,000. I have since had corrections done by a company I can trust. I wrote the companies and Owner stating my objections and asked for my money back. For the second time I have not heard from them on my request. Please STAY AWAY from these sister companies, I think you may regret it ! Ellen, Greeley, CO.

We were referred to Level Engineering by our general contractor when we needed engineering plans…read moreput together for a home renovation project. We are lucky to have been put in touch with Level Engineering and Chris, the engineer on our project. Throughout the project, Chris has been easy to get a hold of, great at explaining things, upfront about pricing, and fantastic at meeting (and beating) deadlines. He has gone above and beyond to help us ensure we have had everything we needed for our project to get approved, including several site visits and even proactive contact with the reviewer at the City of Denver. We would not have had a clue where to start when it came to all of the required plans and paperwork, so feel fortunate to have had Chris on our team throughout this project. He's done great work and we'd definitely use Level Engineering again if the need surfaces.

This is the first time I've ever worked with a structural engineering firm, but I would not…read morerecommend Shear. I'm on the board of a homeowners association and was looking for guidance on a project. Shear has no ability to do any real work and must higher a contractor for even the smallest task to get more information to tell you how to proceed. Oh, and you have to contract out this work yourself which they want done so they can provide info back to you. They have no ability to do this themselves to get the information they need. In the end they suggested mudjacking for our project, but said I would need to contact mudjackers myself and discuss with them if they were able to do what was needed. They are unable to contact contractors themselves to understand what can or can't be done. You have to do the work yourself then try to work as an in between secretary to schedule a time they can be there to meet the contractor, which is a royal pain. It made no sense to me. If I was a structural engineer providing guidance to an association I would go and contract who ever I needed myself to get the information I needed to give guidance to my client.
