Get matched with top engineer structural pros in Butler, PA

"First time Iâ d ever hired a structural engineer, so canâ t say."

"Well organized, and responsive. Gave me the analysis I requested, and pointed out a potential problem with related construction that he noticed in one of the images I supplied. Very happy with his work and attention to detail."

"I'm working on a large project in the Pittsburgh area. The building was previously condemned despite being in good condition. In order to remove the condemnation, the city wanted a report from an engineer to verify that it was safe to occupy. Bob came to the site when he said he would and took his time walking throughout the entire structure. He was able to offer insight on how the building was constructed and advice on things we could do to reduce our construction and maintenance costs (which was WAY outside of the scope of work I was paying for). I was extremely pleased with his work. Many engineers & architects come across as dry and dare I say arrogant. Bob was easy going and polite. A breathe of fresh air in that line of work. I would definitely use Bob again and would recommend him to friends or family."

"The entire team at Engineered Foundation Solutions was amazing, from start to finish. Everyone was very personable and professional. Shannon at the office kept everything running smooth and communications were always polite and timely. The crew, Colin, Chandler and Randy worked extremely hard and never hesitated to give you their undivided attention. They took the time to answer any questions or discuss any concerns we had. We certainly felt comfortable welcoming them into our home. Despite some bad weather days, the guys left the work area clean and dry. We just can't say enough about just how great these guys are. This project was a big undertaking for us, Jeff and Bob are the main reason we selected them for it. The attention to detail, planning, and execution is evident from the moment you meet them, and carries through to the completion of the work. They set their own standards high, guarantee their work, and follow through. Engineered Foundation Solutions exceeded all of our expectations, and we are forever thankful for their knowledge, hard work and kindness."

"Mr. Morrow did an absolutely incredible job. What at first seemed like a high price when hiring the job became abundantly clear was probably the best value service we were provided on the entire buying process of our commercial building. Incredibly detailed, clear, well explained and illustrated with recommendations on repairs needed, from small to large issues, all of which were somewhat hidden and not noticeable upon our tour of the property. Mr. Morrow has basically provided us with a complete owners manual of this property, and saves us tens of thousands of dollars in preventative actions we were able to take before anything went wrong!"

"Roy and his son, Chris from HOUSE & BUILDING ENGINEERING (HBE) met with us on site of the home we intended to purchase - a 100 year old home in Observatory Hill. They were very punctual, courteous and professional. They reviewed everything as required and more. The initial report provided by Chris  highlighted 7 different areas of the home and detached garage structure that needed attention. After discussions with the mortgage company Chris brought that down to 4 conditions that should be addressed. These conditions were addressed as requested. However, after the work was completed and reviewed, HBE would not sign off that the home was structurally sound. <br /> <br /> We requested contractors to provide quotes for the work that HBE then said was required to make the structure sound. We were quoted far above the numbers that HBE said would be the cost AND none of the contractors would do the work (all of who are listed on Angie?s List with high grades - as is HBE). The contractors all refused to do the work because the structural issues in question had been in that state since the previous owners moved in 10 years prior, and because if they did the work, they would do far more damage to the house. (I tend to back the contractors on this, whoever heard of a contractor refusing to do work, especially in these tough economic times?) So as a result of this, HBE never signed off that the house was structurally sound, and the work was not completed, so no mortgage. <br /> <br /> HBE did point out other issues that were resolved to satisfaction by HBE by a contractor. <br /> <br /> The price for the service was far above what was quoted, because of the extra work HBE did, however for the value of the service, I would only give a 5 of 10 since they never signed off that the house was sound after the work was completed as required in their report. The mortgage was never approved. <br /> <br /> To be fair PNC Mortgage had a hand in this not going through as well since the mortgage loan broker was completely incompetent and told us that the underwriter would approve the fixes to the property based on the revised report, even though he did not check with the underwriter prior to telling all parties this. However, had we known that HBE would not sign off on the home that it was structurally sound after the revised report was completed, we would have chosen a different route and not continued to use the services of HBE."

"We are evaluating options to repair several conditions in the basement and after quotes from service providers that did not seem to be directed at the root problem, decided to call in an engineer. They discussed many of the options we had already considered and we were generally in agreement on what was most effective for our situation. <br /> They were able to provide guidance on one additional technique that we had not previously considered and a number of service providers that specialized in that technique. We are currently working with another round of contractors to implement the solutions recommended by Capstone. <br /> They were also very easy to work with logistically, providing advance advice over the phone, being flexible in scheduling and following-up via email post-walkthrough. <br />"

"Project went smoothly employees were very respectful towards what needed done to keep project moving"

"I was contacted twice before the installation date to confirm my project. I received another phone call the day of the installation. The two men, Daniel and Dominick, explained what was going to be done and were professional the entire day. The concrete slab was leveled with the front porch and looked as good as new. All joints in the driveway were cleaned, filled and sealed. The project was completed on time and at a reasonable cost. Great job!"

"Anchors were installed with no issues."
