When a property is being sold, the potential buyer or lender may require a structural assessment from a licensed structural engineer if a structural concern is reported. Often times sagging floors or cracks in a foundation are expected and only require minor maintenance. However, in some instances, a minor aesthetic problem can lead to costly and significant structural issues if the underlying cause of the problem is not addressed.

Would 100% recommend AO Engineers to anyone looking for structural engineering expertise on their home. We were on a time crunch trying to get someone out while in an inspection window of selling our house, and Nick was able to come out and give me a stamped report within 48 hours. He was really helpful and took the time to explain things to me which I appreciated.

Nick performed a structural analysis on the floor/walls of a home that my wife and I are buying. We had some concerns over the structural integrity, and the initial home inspection was unclear on what a fix would cost. Nick inspected the space and gave several recommendations for how to alleviate our immediate concerns and ensure the long-term health of the structure. After Nick's analysis, we not only have a clear action plan going forward, but also peace of mind that our home will be structurally sound for many years. Overall a great experience, and I'd recommend this company to anyone with structural

We hired Eric to inspect an older property we had under contract. Eric was easy to communicate with, punctual, and provided invaluable on-the-spot guidance, followed by a very helpful email summary of what he saw. Not only did Eric provide guidance on the issues he saw, but he outlined how we would address the issues, and who the experts were locally for our issues. I would recommend Eric and AO Engineers to anyone buying a home.

We contacted AO Structural Engineers on 11/4/21(Thursday). Eric responded and scheduled an assessment on 11/8/21(Monday). Eric took time to conduct a thorough assessment and followed up the same day, as promised. We received an e-mail, summarizing findings and recommendations. Eric's professionalism and knowledge eased our minds. We feel confident in Eric's assessment and will recommend AO Structural Engineers. We plan to contact Eric/AO for our next project. Thank you, Eric!

As a first-time home buyer, I worked with Eric to assess a retaining wall and foundation of a historic home I'm under contract for. He was incredibly thorough in his assessment, walked me through all of his observations in great detail, and answered all of my questions. Couldn't have been more pleased with the service he provided. I would recommend AO Structural Engineers for anyone in need of a structural assessment!

I called AO last minute looking for a structural engineer to review a property I was interested in purchasing. Eric came out that same week, walked the property with me explained everything in detail answered all my questions(which I had a lot of!) & did a written report for us to review later if needed. Well worth the investment, I would/will use them again and recommend their service.

After receiving an estimate for remediation for a bowed basement wall from a contractor, I decided to verify the need for all of the recommended solutions. I wanted the opinion of experts who had no financial interest in the solution.
I found AO Structural Engineers to be extremely professional, thorough and very friendly. They explained the problems and the potential solutions in easy to understand language without talking down to me. They welcomed any and all questions.
I am well pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone needing structural evaluation.
