"Used APAC in connection with a home inspection before buying a home. APAC was friendly and knowledgeable and provided a written analysis and recommendations within one day."

"Jeff was a great partner to us, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone requiring architectural engineering services. He was clear and transparent, willing to provide expert guidance and advise, and the work product delivered was of high quality and just what we needed."

"I have many experiences with Zign and will continue to use them as a contractor that often needs design and engineering. Would recommend! "

"Fabulous work. Responsive. Timely. Professional. Could not have asked for better service or workmanship."

"Last year my wife and I had enough with our foundation problems.  Our back basement wall and side wall was cracked form the top of the foundation to the basement floor.  The cracks were so big that water constantly came through during and after heavy rains.  We called several different foundation repair companies, but none of them could provide us with what we knew we needed.  We needed a sixty foot section of our basement wall replaced, but none of the companies that we contacted could provide that service.  It wasn't until we contacted Frank Matyiko, owner of Expert House Movers, that we were able to get the assurance that a section of our foundation could be replaced.  Our friends asked us how they were able to hold our two story home up while taking out such a huge section of our foundation wall.  I tell them like owner Frank Matyiko said to me "we combine over 50 years of structural moving experience with 30 years of foundation repair experience and that's how we get it done."  He provided me with a structural engineer and obtained  the repair permits needed for the job, which no other company would provide.  Frank Matyiko oversaw the entire project from day 1 to completion.  Thanks for saving our home, EHM is awesome. <br />"

"We had a contractor in to do floor levelling after pulling up carpet and tile to discover a large crack front-to-back through the entire house where the north end of the house had sunk by 3and quot;. I asked the contractor if he thought I should consult with a structural engineer. He gave me the name and number of Regan, Matonak, and Associates. I dealt directly with Dan Matonak who assessed the structure and original problem. He also walked around the entire house and found an additional problem! <br /> He saw that the brick was bowing about 3/4and quot; inch at the back. The upper level of the house is open at ground level to the back yard, while the lower level opens at ground level to the front yard. In other words, the back of the house is in a hill. His assessment was that the bowing was caused by inward deflection of cinder block wall at about 30and quot; below ground level, without even seeing the cinder block. He said and quot;If you remove that wood panelling, I think you'll find cinder block and I think you'll also find a 1/8and quot; or so horizontal crack going along the entire back walland quot;. He was completely correct! I had to hire another company to do repair work on the back wall. We went with carbon fiber strips with epoxy adhesive to repair the back wall (and quot;The Reinforcer, Steven Jaymes contractorsand quot;). And then I re-insulated and put back up and painted the wood paneling. <br /> The original job was to ask about the floor leveling. He said that the crack wasn't that big of a deal, but that the large chunks of limestone, cinder block and broken brick found underneath an existing floor indicated that the concrete slab has been poured incorrectly and that there were voids. Also, he recommended an engineering firm, Triad Engineering, to do a geo-technical assessment of the dirt under the foundation for stablity. When that was complete he recommended 2 different possibilities for solution to the problem. One involved underpinnings which would be a permanent but expensive fix to dig out 4' sections all along under the existing footer and install a new 12x12 footer. The second was to dig a trench at the front and insulate the existing footer and foundation to prevent frost heave. We did the latter and he worked with the labor firm, Miller Home Improvement (see review - highly recommend), to do the work. <br /> All of this for just a little bit of money! <br />"

"They did an excellent job, I love my new patio so much I don't want to sell! They were prompt and when the job was complete they left the property and street in front clean. Would hire again."
