"Level Engineering provides professional and upfront services that has really added value to my business. The engineers are knowledgeable, friendly and proficient. I recommend that all my homeowners use their services prior to any structural work knowing that they will provide quality information that they will stand behind."

"Very professional. He explained to my clients very well what was needed"

"The specific representative was Keith Hull, Professional Engineer.  He was courteous, professional, and thorough and, to the point, provided an analysis which saved us a lot of money.  The written report included appropriate photographs, a description of the structure of the house (and of its integrity), and recommendations with regard to how to repair the foundation wall to prevent the intrusion of water in the future. <br />"

"This team arrived for work in the morning, and was complete by lunch. Outside wall repairs on MidCentury Modern, and full assessment to bring house up to modern seismic codes. Great feedback to close out, plus a solid warranty. These folks specialize in crawl space homes and keeping them solid."

"Price was right and quality was great. Easy to work with. Took a little longer than anticipated due to weather, but that is what happens some times. All of the workers who did the different jobs were plesent and professional. Very happy with the job. Plan to have him remodel my kitchen. Was concerned that the stucco replaced in would not match exactly, but I can't tell where the old door was."

"We did a Cost Plus contract and were pleased with the overall cost and quality. I would highly recommend this company. They are fair priced and have a team of highly skilled professionals. <br />"

"Russell Progue spent an incredible amount of time with me on the phone regarding a crack in a sim wall (I sent photos of the crack). He explained the purpose of the sim wall (the house is on a raised foundation) and his opinion as to whether or not it was a structural issue. He was very informative, patient, and honest! He easily could have charged my clients hundreds of dollars for a formal inspection. Instead, he provided his opinion, advised his fees for a formal inspection and repair, and left it up to my buyers to decide how they wanted to proceed. He even offered to talk with my buyers about the crack, free of charge! As a realtor, I am always looking for professional and honest contractors. Acuterra (especially Mr. Progue) has earned my trust and I will call them again when the opportunity arises."

"He returned phone call timely and was early for our initial appointment.  We met a 2nd time to give him plans bc he does not have email even though he has an email address on his card. <br /> He was very late because he was waiting at the wrong location, but was likely early at the other location. <br /> He is old school and does not use a GPS, but not a big deal. <br /> He said he does use email but lent his computer to his niece. <br /> He said over the phone he does all is own work and even though he is on the older side, I believe he does most of it. <br /> However, I was very disappointed because I thought that he would come in under other companies that used estimators and hired subs. <br /> Instead, he was substantially over.  e.g. Highest bids were $23k and he was $29k+. <br /> When I brought this to his attention he very quickly came down to $25k. <br /> I was really disappointed because it was such a time waster for me to met up with him twice. <br /> I originally hired someone for $20k to do the project and that included demo of the original structure and to rebuild to code for 8'x20' area. <br /> That person did the demo and completed foundation inspection and poured concrete and just started to put up some walls. <br /> The guy had a situation beyond his control and could not complete the work. <br /> So I excepted the bids to be less that $20k since a substantial part of the job was done. <br /> Also, he wanted a 5k deposit.  CA law is that they can only as for max $1k for <br /> initial deposit.  In addition when I did not want to go with him he <br /> wanted his estimate back, I guess so there was no evidence that he was <br /> asking for 5k down.  I got to see one of his jobs he complete in a house <br /> that was for sale.  I did not check with owners to verify that he did <br /> the work, but it looked okay.  You could see the seems on the ceiling of <br /> the sheet rock in garage, but the rest of the work look very good, <br /> assuming he actually did it. <br /> P.S. I also asked him about the two F <br /> reviews about him not showing up, because he had so many good reviews <br /> and he said he was away on vacation but the two reviews were far apart and he already talked to them so he should have said he was gong away if that was the case.  It all just does not add up."

"II think we were over charged for the amount of work that they did, Overall the job came out beautiful!   But they had to come back 3 times for misc. things to fix . The kitchen sink leaked after installation also my granite counter top edges  were dull and not a shiny as they should had been. So that had to come out and rebuff and seal the counter tops . <br />"
