Louis was professional, experienced, responsive, on time, very sharing, insightful, smart and thoughtful. You could not ask for more. We explained our concerns including cracks in exterior brick work, cracks in the basement walls, drywall tape in the ceiling of the master bedroom peeling, etc. Louis walked the entire property with us and we received an education while following him from floor to floor. He is a fountain of engineering knowledge. He followed up quickly as promised with a thorough written report and provided a few suggestions of items we could follow up on. Louis was a complete delight to meet and do business with. We recommend him highly!
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
After decades of living in our home we were considering downsizing and conducted our own assessment to determine if there were any structural issues to be addressed. After reading reviews on Angie’s List, we reached out to Louis & Associates, LLC. Absolutely a great decision.

Responded quickly to my initial call and set up a date for the assessment. Arrived on time. Spent a long time looking at the various problems and talking to me and answering my questions. For the basement water issues, gave me 2 options (indoor and outdoor); evaluated the basement wall cracks and determined no serious structural issues; looked at the deck posts and provided an interim and long-term solution (will need to replace posts). Provided a written report a few days later. All in all, provided the service requested on time and professionally. Only one piece of advice: The written report isn't as detailed as the information he provided verbally, so would recommend taking notes as he's talking to you, to supplement the written report.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK
Provided a structural engineering assessment of water/moisture and cracks in basement, some small cracks in interior walls, and deck posts that were cracking.

Typical email from a client:
I recently bought a house that is constructed of cinder block with a crawl space. I would like to see if you could evaluate a few changes I would like to make. I would like to remove the floor structure, and pour a slab, as the crawl space is only 6" deep in some places. I would also like to remove two walls, and raise the rafter ties/ceiling joists in one section of the house or possibly do a cathedral ceiling. There are also a couple areas of the house where the roof structure appears to not be strong enough I would also like to verify that they are strong enough.....
