Structural questions? If you need a foundation evaluation, or need to know if that's a structural wall, or need a beam sized or a basement converted to a rental space, we can help. If your roof collapsed, or might do that tomorrow, we can help. If there was an explosion or fire, or somebody hit your house with a car, we can help. We speak the language of joists, columns, beams and rafters and collar ties.
Garth Haslem is a Utah state certified structural engineer with over 30 years experience as a structural engineer and inspector. He will meet you at your home and carefully learn your needs. Then he’ll answer your questions and help you properly resolve the issues. It’s business, but it’s very personal.
Everyone you call has a telephone story about how they’re awesome. What if you could actually hear from that company’s customers? Oh wait – you can.
An engineer does a podcast? Isn’t that like being left brained and right brained at the same time? It does take an unusual sort of structural guy to leave the office and his computer, so maybe it’s possible – but who knew?
Inspection & verbal report only
Sometimes you just need to know. Or you find out it’s bad news and you just want to walk away. Here’s that price.
Inspection & written report
This is the full report. There may be travel fees for inspections outside of Salt Lake and Utah counties.
Inspection with written & stamped report
The PE stamp is a certification. Usually the stamp is only needed if there is a lender, lawyer or city involved.
We have been a trusted member and affiliate of the real estate community since 1993. If the home has a SUPRA box along the Wasatch Front, we can probably get access.
About that whole same day thing, we absolutely get the report to you on the same day as the inspection. Why? Because it’s super duper great customer service. Also – because it’s easier to write up a report when it’s fresh in the mind. Wait until the next day and then you have to do that day’s stuff and the previous day’s stuff. That’s complicated, and we have man disease – we like simple.
Speaking of being a man, Garth is married to the awesomest woman on the planet. She loves him for some reason. Not sure why. But how does that fit in to structural reports? Well, because if it’s Friday night and the reports are not done, well, she wins. Your report will have to happen on Saturday morning.
So. In conclusion. Reports happen usually the same day – except on Friday night. Unless she’s out of town. Then – same day.
