Report
Tydnall Engineering and Design was quick and efficient and also somehow cheaper than the other companies I contacted. While they weren't too communicative (i.e I didn't really get a confirmation email or anything like that in the days leading up to the appointment), they showed up promptly and worked quickly. If not for their flexibility with scheduling times and their speed with getting the report to me, I may not have been able to secure my loan. (Their report also outlined exactly how to fix my problem, so when I go looking for a repairman I'll know if I'm being sold something way more complicated than I need). Beyond grateful. Highly recommend!

I can't say enough good things about my experience. I called and left a message and they promptly called me back and scheduled an appt to come to my home. Jasmine came out early and was respectful and listened to all my ideas while also giving me ideas on a new porch. She never made me feel rushed and explained all her findings. I got the hard copies back within two weeks. I would highly recommend them to others.

I just met with Alex from Tyndall Engineering. He was very helpful and was able and willing to explain what all needed to be done for my addition on my home. I absolutely would recommend them to anyone needing an engineer to look at the structural requirements on their home.
