How do you know who to call?

When you need to know if your home will be OK, it’s not clear who to call. Are they registered structural engineers? Do they specialize in home visits? How long have they been doing this? What do their customers say? Do they have SUPRA access?  

Great online reviews

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.

Transparent pricing

On-site opinion - no written report

Sometimes you just need to know. Or sometimes you find out it’s bad news and you just want to walk away. We’re good with that. Here’s that price.

Inspection & written report

$700*

Inspection & written report

This is the full report. There may be travel fees for inspections outside of Salt Lake and Utah counties.

Written report with PE stamp

The PE stamp is a certification. Usually the stamp is only needed if there is a lender, lawyer or city involved. 

Engineers do podcasts?

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 – who knew? 

Here’s our thoughts about pricing: we like simple. Simple leaves no-one surprised, clients are happy, and then we get more fabulous google reviews. As they say in Duck Dynasty, “happy happy happy”.
Still, sometimes life gets less simple and the standard rates can’t apply. One example of this is when we have to drive  further to get to you. Salt Lake and Utah County? No problem. Ogden or Fillmore? That’s going to cost a bit more. Multi unit apartment building? Yeah – more. If your project has one or two problems to solve? No problem. Nine problems? More. You get the idea.
Promises for payment that we have to wait, hope and nag for? First, please no. Really – just no. If we must, then we have to charge you a bit more to help make up for the last guy that made us promises and didn’t pay. That’s why we say that these prices apply only if you pay on the date of the service.
You get the idea. Simple is good. More complex is OK, but we might have to modify the prices.

We have SUPRA access

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.
