Beware of this engineering firm. They overbilled me substantially, we waited weeks for the report, were sent a bill months later and then an additional unexpected bill for services dated previous to the first bill. Consider other engineers prior to hiring Encompass.

Beware of this engineering firm. They overbilled me substantially and then refused to explain the charges. Consider other engineers prior to hiring Encompass.

I bought my first property and had to learn somethings the hard way. Fortunately for me the company Encompass Inc. exists, not only were they quick to respond but also quick to schedule a diagnostic visit. Long story short the the building I moved into has some issues with the roof, specifically water leaks. They came out and not only tested the roof but were patient and generous with answering all the questions I had from simple to complex. They are very professional and courteous, and fun to talk to. To the extent that they came back and did some repairs even though that's not really what
