I don't know how often it comes up that a layman or homeowner suddenly "needs an engineer." But that recently happened to me -- and when it did, Dan Charletta of Structures International LLC was able to provide the engineering expertise I desperately needed, on ridiculously short notice and with incredible attention to detail. Of course, I can't know why you're looking for an engineer. But I can tell you that you can put your trust in Structures International. They will not steer you wrong.

Report
So unfortunately they were unable to help me due to currently having a full load BUT I wanted to give them 5 stars because I spoke with a woman in the office who forwarded my concerns and information to the engineer. That same afternoon, he returned my call and let me know why they were unable to help me. He also gave me information for other companies that were just as competent. 5 stars for customer service. They could've just not returned my call and left me still anxious and worried, but they didn't.
