Damage Assessment
We evaluate truss damage from various causes including weather events, overloading, and seismic impacts. Our assessments include failure analysis and recommendations for code-compliant repairs and reinforcement strategies.
Forensic Investigation
Our team conducts detailed investigations into structural failures. We document damage patterns, determine root causes, and prepare technical reports with repair specifications for insurance claims and legal documentation purposes.

Report
Brandon did a nice job and was professional and responsive. However, my experience with their business development person was so extremely off-putting that I can't recommend Censpace to others. In fairness, the invoice Censpace sent to me (electronically and with no follow-up nudge to pay) did get caught in the shuffle of a busy life, and that was my oversight. However, Heather Lytton's response to that was to send an accusatory email and threaten a lien against my home!
So egregious and unprofessional. I immediately sent payment, as I was never intentionally avoiding doing so. Because of her over the top response, despite Brandon's good service, I'd suggest going elsewhere for your engineering needs.

Our relationship with the team at Censpace has been developed over many years. The reasons we stick with them is because they are excellent with their work and they are quick to respond to our needs. If you are looking for an engineering company to be honest, timely and professional than these guys are who you want!

Mill Creek Truss is a wood truss manufacturer provided trusses throughout the Midwest. We use Censpace to provide us with fast, economical and structurally sound repairs for damaged floor and roof trusses. Censpace can also provide multi state engineering support. They are great at communicating and always accommodates our special requests. Service with a smile! Rare these days. We highly recommend Censpace.

Down to earth staff that work well with you to help keep customers satisfied and help resolve issues in the field.

If top notch structural engineering is what you seek, look no further. I am the design manager for a company that is a major producer of pre-engineered wood trusses. We have used Censpace's services consistently for more than a year (multiple times per month) and each time the experience has been very positive. The staff is courteous and easy to deal with. Their level of professionalism and expertise is second to none.
Add to that fast turn around and reasonable rates and you have a winner! As an extra bonus, there isn't a lot of "feel good" over-engineering that I have experienced elsewhere; just fair, honest evaluation and specification.

Censpace has routinely gone above and beyond expectations in meeting the structural requirements for myself and my referrals. Having worked in the building industry for over the last fifteen years, there is no other structural engineering firm that I recommend to my customers and business partners.
