What They Say About R Michael Gray, PE

"We have bought 9 homes during  our adult life.  We have never seen an  inspection this thorough."   

"We started a foundation watering program and installed root barriers for three trees a year ago.  The root barriers solved the problem.  Your advice saved us at least $15,000."

"I know when my buyers pick you they will get a thorough, detailed report.  When I am the listing agent and I hear the buyer has selected  Michael Gray, I just cross my fingers."

"I did not like you at all when you inspected the house I was selling.  Now that I am the buyer - I want you on my side."

Structural Engineering Consultant Projects

 These types of projects would include the following.

  • Review foundation repair proposals.  If you have one or more foundation repair proposals, it is prudent to retain a Professional Structural Engineer to inspect the foundation and review the repair proposals to give you an independent unbiased assessment.

  • Foundation Design:  I take only clients building a custom home who want a solid foundation exceeds  minimum design and construction standards.

  • Frame Structure Design:  I design structural elements for house frames including joists, rafers, beams, girders and columns. 

  • Engineering for Remodeling Projects: If you have a remodeling project where the structure is going to be altered, I can design the structural modifications so the altered structure can safely carry the design loads.
