Call me if any of this sounds familiar

A home inspection flagged a structural issue before closing
You are buying a house and want it checked by an engineer
Your bank or insurer wants a signed engineer’s letter
The township is asking for a conformance letter
You see cracks or sagging and want to know if it is serious

What I actually do

I come to the property and look at the real conditions. No guessing from photos.

I find the cause, tell you in plain language how serious it is, and write it up so you can hand it to a buyer, a bank, the township, or your insurer.

If something got flagged that is not actually a problem, I will tell you that too, so a deal does not fall apart over nothing.

  • What you get
  • A straight answer on how serious it is
  • A signed report or conformance letter
  • Turnaround that fits your deadline
  • The same engineer from start to finish

“Collin was quick, clear, and easy to deal with. He told us exactly what we needed and got it to us in time.”

Common questions

How fast can you turn around an engineer’s letter?

For most inspections and letters I can turn it around quickly. Tell me your deadline when you reach out and I will let you know right away if I can hit it.

What is a conformance letter?

It is a signed letter from a licensed engineer stating that a structure, or a repair, meets requirements. Townships, banks, and insurers often ask for one. I inspect, then issue it.

A home inspector found something. Do I need an engineer?

Often yes. A home inspector flags concerns but is not licensed to say what is structurally sound or how to fix it. An engineer gives you the answer in writing.

What does an inspection cost?

It depends on the property and what you need. Tell me what is going on and I will give you a clear price up front before any work starts.

Do I need a structural engineer, or just a contractor?

An engineer tells you what is actually wrong and what the right fix is, then your contractor does the work. Getting the engineer first means you do not pay for the wrong repair, and for structural work most townships require stamped drawings from an engineer anyway.

How much does a structural engineer cost?

It depends on the job. A quick assessment is on the low end and full stamped drawings cost more. Either way you get a clear price up front before any work starts.
