Get matched with top engineer structural pros in Ashburn, VA

"We needed a structural engineer to inspect the foundation of a home that we are purchasing and were recommended to contact Kemp. We are so glad that we did. Greg provided first class service. He was thorough and took the time to explain each step that he was taking, the purpose behind it, the potential results and what each could mean, and finally the actual results. He also took the time to educate us on some of the basic indicators of good and deficient or damaged home foundations. He was very personable and is great at making complex information simple enough for novices to understand. He also provided the inspection report almost immediately. We highly recommend Greg and his company’s services."

"Had a 5 foot long crack in my poured-concrete basement wall. It was not leaking, but I wanted to have it sealed regardless. Alek came on a Saturday, gave me his estimate, and then repaired the wall. He was very forthcoming by explaining that the repair was not absolutely necessary if there was no leakage, but I wanted it sealed anyway. He did a top rate job and I would not hesitate to use his services again."

"Victor Bernard and their team took on a complex double bathroom renovation project in a 100 year old row home and did excellent work addressing the many unexpected challenges as we proceeded with demo, including rebuilding floor joists inappropriately damaged from a past renovation. While this of course made for a much longer project than planned, the quality of work was excellent and we love our new bathrooms."

"Had a great experience with Chris Kuper at Basement Detective! My basement flooded from non-stop storms and I needed a sump pump installed along with complete renovation of my basement. They were very competitive in pricing and outstanding in results. Chris even helped coordinate with the contractor doing my basement renovation after the sump was installed to make sure none of the drainage was disturbed by the new work being done. I have since weathered at least 3 large storms and can hear the sump working as needed. Very happy with the results!"

"Richards tree service came and did a $500 tree trimming job and I know have $1200 in damages to my backyard. On Nov 28th. 2020 “Richard Tree Service” came to my house to trim a tree in the backyard. They trimmed the tree with a fence and raised bed directly under the tree branches. Large branches were not cut in small chunks, but large heavy branches were cut and fell 20+ feet. While the branches were falling on the fence, a post in the center of the fence broke as well as the raised bed. The fence is now leaning because of the broken post. I reached out to Richards Tree Service many times from Nov 29th, through Dec 9th and they mostly avoided my calls at that time. After Dec 9th they reached out and said they will not do anything to mitigate this issue. The fence needs to be repaired. They say they will not repair anything. I got a quote for the repair and its over $1200 because there is a nice raise bed also attached to the post. They have since said that the post has mold and was compromised before they trimmed. All the other posts are not compromised and have no mold, and it is not easy to see the raised bed wood. I also don’t agree that the broken post is moldy, its broken. They want me to pay the $1200 to have someone repair the fence and bed. They also stated they wanted to be there when I have MY fence repair person come pay… I don’t have $1200 to dish out just for them to later say “still not paying”. They have insurance but refuse to use it. I have tried contacting the insurance information but their provider never responds. Also, even with all of this happening I tried to pay my bill. Apparently to pay they wanted me to take down someone’s wife’s phone number to give her my credit card. I get it that this is a small business person who may be just contracted through Richards tree service, but its still unprofessional. I do not feel comfortable giving someone’s wife my credit card and will be trying to pay a different way. I also had someone else come out to look at their job. They left cut branches just sticking out. I am not sure why they didn’t cut from the base of other branches or the trunk. I am pretty sure those random branches will just get decay and potentially hurt the tree. The job does not look good, but hey the leaves are gone I guess? I have limited options to proceed, I cannot pay the $1200 for the repairs and Richards Tree Service says they won’t do anything on their side. 1. They should have trimmed the branches in smaller chunks. Not large ones that would drop on the fence. Make sure you have a video of their job if you go with them, and tell them to make smaller cuts. 2. They should use their insurance, if the insurance finds that my backyard is all moldy (which I do not see) then they won’t have to pay for it, this is why you have insurance. 3. They should improve their billing solution. Its 2020 and there are safer ways to pay online with proof of receipts."

"Not actually Waterproofing/Encapsulation. I actually had a bad central beam and several rotted joists. From the original estimate, I appreciated Deska's practical approach to fixing my foundation and structural issues. I didn't have the budget for a first floor flooring gut (the ONLY option proposed by a different vendor), and Len proposed an option that was still more than I'd planned for, but doable with a HELOC. NGL it took a very long time between me committing to the work and getting the work done, but they did set a reasonable expectation in advance and the office kept me reliably informed as I waited. When it came to the work, Mohammed and Adonis owned the results from the beginning. They reliably arrived as scheduled and communicated well during the process - providing me updates daily. They also went above and beyond with preparation, finishing, and provided trusted advice when it came to lifting my sagging first floor. Thrilled to have a more secure home!"

"Louis was easy to schedule and was at the house within a week of me calling to schedule the inspection. Louis performed the inspection, relying on me to point out areas of concern and then taking some brief measurements and photos. However, he could not diagnose a main area of concern in second floor joists due to no access to joists either from above or below, and did not provide a solution or a diagnosis despite being paid for analysis. His visit was a turning point in the quality of service. His report was substandard. He did not properly document all needed repairs, and what he wrote in the report differed from what he mentioned in person regarding a failing floor joist. Multiple attempts were made to contact Louis by phone with voicemails and by e-mail to clarify discrepancies between the report and comments during his inspection, but he failed to communicate back to me. Overall, this service was not worth the $500 that it cost."

"Very professional and talented employees, very professional results. Excellent communication and follow-up. On top of that, the job was accomplished under the bid amount, and was completed faster than scheduled. Thank you 58 Foundation!!"

"The work is fine. We had two full baths remodeled. They began in late June and ended just after labor day. There were days and even weeks when no work was done at all. In fact one bathroom was demolished, and then sat for at least one week... There did not seem to be good communication among staff and each person who came to do work did not know what the other had done. One anecdote is that the electrician swore he had connected the light switch for a light in the laundry room. I was standing with the project manager and we were turning the switch on and off with no light going on while the electrician is on the phone at another job, swearing he had connected the light. The upshot of the whole fiasco was that it was not until I threatened writing to the BBB and online reviews that the owner got involved and then we were able to get to completion. Again - the work is ok. We have had to call on the 5 year warranty given to us a couple times to get small items repaired. But the lack of customer service and organization through the whole ordeal was not worth it."

"I cannot say enough good things about Chase remodeling. My parents have been in their home for 33 years. (It is the house I grew up in - my siblings and I cherish it.) They decided it was time for some much needed updates - beginning with the upstairs, main bathroom. Together we vetted remodeling companies.. The entire experience from beginning to end was top notch - from the initial visit by Derek Chase and in person check-ins from project manager Dave Kugler - - to the actual remodel - - my parents could not be more pleased with the results. Our new bathroom is absolutely stunning! The team was professional, punctual, skilled, friendly and mindful of our needs. The quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail are outstanding. Communication throughout the process was excellent, ensuring everything was completed to the satisfaction of my parents. They are now working with them to begin our kitchen remodel! I highly recommend their services - in addition to bathroom remodels - they have a plethora of expertise."
