Report
I'm a realtor and I had a client selling their house who needed a structural engineer to evaluate something. I called Jendusa because they are so well respected that I knew their report would answer any questions the buyers had. I called and Venu met me at the home. He was extremely knowledgeable and went above and beyond to answer questions. I highly recommend them!

Would put less than a star if I could. Very unethical business owner. Initially charged a rather large retainer, which was paid. Claims expertise of architect, but has no experience at all. Never trust them.

Our customer was ordered by the city to repair or rebuild a failed wall, We contacted Jendusa Engineering to design a repair and write a report to fix the leaning wall. They were spot on! They got us the report in a timely manner, They were very thorough and designed a quality repair! They followed up with the city with the compliance inspection, and the customer was very happy. We highly recommend Jendusa Engineering.

Very reliable structural engineer company; my clients have used them in several real estate transactions. Timely reports. Went out of their way to squeeze us in in order to meet inspection deadlines.
