M. Gillespie & Associates Consulting Engineering

Timely and professional

I had a very frustrating and disappointing experience working with Mike Gillespie. It took twice as long as promised for him to send me his report, and that was only after multiple emails and calls to his office. Once he finally sent his report it contained very little useful information and some completely incorrect recommendations (for example, he stated that "LVLs do not come pressure treated for exterior use" which is just false and I have found several suppliers of this exact product). In my initial follow up to the report, he was quick to reply but subsequent questions have so far gone unanswered. In my view, the site visit and report was a complete waste of $2800 and delayed my project by several weeks. I know that the firm is well reviewed (which is why I chose them in the first place) but my experience did not reflect those high ratings.

Excelent service

Mr Gillespie examined my roof rafters and determined that they were the originals on my 55 year old house and had never been re;placed or repaired which was what I had asked him to determine.

Professional and attentive to my concernâ s.

Very professional.

Mr. Gillespie was thorough and offered viable options to remedy issues. His experience in a family company far surpasses regional conglomerates or local practitioners. The company serves the community well

My husband and I are residents of Salt Point, NY and we are building a shed/greenhouse on our property. Our town building inspector is new, undergoing training and was unavailable to inspect the foundation walls and steel reinforcements prior to the concrete pour. The town approved us to use a licensed engineer to inspect in his place the evening before our pour date. We called Mike's office the morning of the pour and his team, Candy, was able to get him in touch with us right away, Mike was out within an hour, inspected and approved our project, with an hour to spare before the pour! He got us the approval certification letter with reference images the same day. Mike got us out of a really time sensitive, stressful situation, and we couldn't be more grateful and appreciative of his expertise and professionalism. Highly recommend! Thank you, Mike!

Although my project was quite small in scope, they were immensely helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond.

He came out for the first payment and looked around. So far so good. Now i havnt heard from him for over two weeks. I have sent emails asking when he will be done because he is holding up my schedule. I cant order or hire until i have the plans he is working on.
