Consultations by Licensed Professional Engineers

Many home and building owners become concerned that a minor flaw in a house or building indicates a serious problem.Many homeowners and building owners become concerned that a minor flaw in a house or building indicates a serious problem.  For example, if a crack develops in a wall, you will want to know whether to call a contractor to open the wall for repairs (at a significant expense) or just paint over the crack.  Heimer Engineering can assess this as well as other such situations, and advise you how to proceed.

You may have safety issues related to your home or building.  A Licensed Professional Engineer is professionally (and legally) obliged to be concerned about human life and safety, and will advise you when safety issues should be considered.

"Free" Estimates

There is never a conflict of interest in the advice we give to you.Many people will call a contractor for a "free" estimate when a problem is suspected.  This seems to save the cost of retaining a Licensed Professional Engineer.  However, many contractors have limited expertise outside their field.  For example, a carpenter may have very limited experience with electrical and plumbing issues.  Moreover, there is a conflict of interest on the part of the contractor giving you the "free" estimate.  The contractor who finds work to do benefits financially.  As a result, you may pay for unneeded repairs.

Heimer Engineering is not a contracting firm, so there is never a conflict of interest in their professional advice.  You can count on accurate, professional advice when using our consultation services.  Depend on the insight that only an Engineer can provide.
