M. Gillespie & Associates

Highly unprofessional, slow to provide even a small project turn around despite promising deadlines, impossible to communicate with (will not answer the phone or emails, secretary is trained to get you off the phone), and provided a lackluster report of roughly 2 lines with questionable recommendations and no follow up whatsoever. If you hire him, which I cannot recommend, request a contract with clear terms. Our contractor apologized for recommending him.

DO NOT HIRE! Mike assessed my property in February of 2021 and I have yet to receive a report for my permit despite multiple requests. I even contacted Home Advisor to reach out to Mike and was ignored. I now have to hire another engineer and already paid Mike half of his retainer. I highly recommend finding another engineer for your project and saving yourself a great deal of time and frustration.

I hired Mike Gillespie beginning of April 2021 to do a structural analysis and architectural drawings for my detached garage that is in disrepair. He came looked it over. Sent me an estimate requiring a $1750 retainer to be paid immediately which I did. Next week he sent his architect to take pictures and measurements. Two weeks pass and I hear nothing. I call and Mike tells me that the architect who came and took measurements is no longer in his employee. He apologizes and says he will have something for me the next week. I call the next week and he tells me he will have something for me by 3:00 the next day. Next day I hear nothing. I call the next week and MIke tells me he will call back in 10 minutes. He did not return my call. I email with no response. I finally call and ask for my retainer back. I also email him this. He replies to the email that the refund for my retainer will be in the mail by week's end. Two weeks later and I have still not received anything. Essentially Mike Gillespie took me for $1750! He has no conscious and no qualms about lying to your face. DO NOT HIRE.

We received a site visit within less than a week and a very rapid turn-around of the engineering report. Mike gave us a smart, creative solution to the problem and, at our request, suggested an excellent contractor. The contractor consulted with Mike as he and his construction partner began the work. Overall, we were very satisfied with Mike's solution and with his ongoing guidance to help bring this project to completion.

Mike, the owner of the firm, showed up on Saturday morning immediately after I placed a request to the Angie's list. He reassured he would do a study of the structural design of the railing (steel cable) and send me the confirmation on the very next business day. A very professional and friendly person with a reasonable rate. I highly recommend his service for those of you who could not find a civil engineer when the scope of the job is too small that most big firms are not interested. The entire process has been very pleasant and stress-free.

Professional and good to work with

Excellent servic

I have worked with Mr Gillespie for years. He has always conducted himself very professionally and finish in a timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality engineer.
