We have a house with a basement that has four columns in it, and we wanted to know what size beams we would need in order to support the load of the upper floor. We needed multiple options for A) removing all 4 columns, or B) removing 2 outer columns, or C) removing 2 inner columns. Nolan was punctual, friendly and answered all of my many, many questions. He sent the report back promptly and when I had follow up questions, he further explained everything I needed to know. I will highly recommend using SE&I to anyone who needs an engineer.
We have used SE&I for nearly a decade for new home construction, service/warranty projects, as well as sub surface evaluations.SE&I has always been timely, at market rate, and taken the time to give us not only 1, but multiple solutions to our problem or issue needing resolution.Their staff is professional, knowledgeable and courteous.
We contacted SE&I after getting a very expensive quote from one of the other big foundation companies you always see on billboards around town. They had told us our foundation in our 70 y/o home was built incorrectly and that we needed over $20k in repairs, so obviously we wanted a second opinion from an engineer.The engineer from SE&I came out and put our minds at ease right away. He identified the real issue almost immediately, and let us know that what the other company had said was false, and that they were just trying to sell us an expensive and unnecessary fix.I felt that SE&Is staff are very professional and honest, especially since we were paying them for their time, so I trust their assessment completely.If youve been told you need thousands of dollars in repair work by someone else, do yourself a favor and contact SE&I.
My family and I just had an inspection done at 2211 old natchez trace. Nolan Williams did the inspection. Having been in my trade at an early age (I now enjoy over 30 yrs in it) I respected his knowledge and getting in at the ground floor. Having been a laborer , then a framer myself and eventually working my way up to working for my builder, I appreciated his level of experience not from just schooling but old school starting from the ground level like his father taught him. Being a 3rd generation in my industry, I appreciate the level of experience he has been taught and his level of candor and honesty. I recommend these guys to anyone needing an inspection. They were thorough and honest. Not much more to be said than that
We recently worked with SE&I to inspect a home we were planning to purchase that had prior foundation repairs. The inspector was knowledgeable and took the time to answer some of our questions on-site. The follow-on report gave us even more answers and peace of mind moving forward. Great experience all around!
I would highly recommend to anyone needing an home inspection for a refinance. They were prompt and courteous and had my report completed the next day as promised. This was a seamless transaction.
SEI was very thorough in assessing our tornado damaged home. They prepared a detailed report outline all of the repairs needed. They were professional, kind, and understanding. I highly recommend this firm.
Ive been searching around for a sound instruction company and I am thankful I called this company. Brook was very informative and patient with me! When she realized a lived too far she graciously recommended me to someone closer.For some of my problems She told me who to call in my county. When I called they said they will speak to my builder and handle it! Thanks so much Brook!I highly recommend this company!
Like a well done steak, or a weekend away at a resort; sometimes quality is worth paying for, and even though I wouldnt know what the going rate is for an engineering professional, I definitely feel Ive gotten my moneys worth.
I hired SE&I to look at the foundation of a house I was looking to buy. The inspector recommended I hire an engineer to look at some cracks that were possibly re-opening.They were professional and on-time. But the quality of work was poor. The inspector spent a total of 10 minutes evaluating the foundation in-person. I paid $155 per hour, with a minimum of two hours. So, I paid $310 for 2 hours of work, and he was in-person looking at the foundation for 10 minutes.He said the external foundation wall was not cracking. Two other professionals have given the opposite opinion, and the cracks are easy to see if you spend any time.His work was casual and inaccurate, and I got a more educated evaluation from the home inspector, who is not a licensed engineer. He did not care about his quality of work.Will never use again.
Thorough, quick, and efficient. A great way to have some peace-of-mind prior to purchasing a home with a few cracks. They offer realistic solutions that fit any budget and are very responsive! Would recommend, A+!
I was so pleased with the service I received from Structural Engineering & Inspections. The quality of service was super high and they always act very professional! They even came to my house very quickly and evaluated it efficiently.
When working on homes, it is very important to me that the engineers I work with are great. The technicians at Structural Engineering & Inspections were extremely thorough. They climbed into tight spaces to measure and photograph the areas precisely. They are great at identifying and fixing problems.
We have worked with Michael for multiple inspections, he is always the person we call on for a structural inspection. He is genuine, hard working, and professional. He is very honest in his line of work and we appreciate that, we recommend him all the time.
Consummate professional. They were in and out of my house with a full assessment of my basement damages within minutes and actually saved me thousands of dollars over the estimate I received from a local structural repair company. I will absolutely use this company again and recommend to others in the future.
The team at SE&I helped us with a structural evaluation and calculations for work we needed done as part of a kitchen remodel. They responded quickly and professionally, and the field engineer who came to our home was respectful and helpful with our questions. The information that was provided in his report was clear to the contractor doing the structural work on the kitchen walls. Michael and his staff are easy to work with and made the work a smooth process!
I have known about Structural Engineering & Inspections through multiple jobs and companies in the area. From all of those connections, no one has ever had a single bad thing to say about them. They are very nice and hard working people, always making sure that the job is done well. I recommend them to all of my clients.
Punctual, professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Great experience.
Michael Vines is the best in the business. We have used him for residential structuring, footer supports, and much other sub work. He is absolutely the best engineer, he goes above and beyond with every job, every time.
I am impressed with Michaels ability to come in and immediately understand what the problem is. He always knows what the fix is. I expect a major bill many times, and to my surprise it is much lower and always something reasonable. He is an excellent engineer, I would highly recommend him.
I am very pleased with Structural Engineering & Inspections. The entire staff was very professional and completely my job in a very timely manner. They evaluated our situation very well and gave me a very thorough report.

Structural Engineering & Inspections is the best in the business. They really have the best engineers and go above and beyond my expectations on every job they do. And theyve done several jobs for me- residential structural engineering, footing inspections, and several other jobs.
The entire team from SE&I, LLC were professional, thorough and courteous. I had wonderful customer service from the moment I called the office inquiring about their services. I even received a follow up call weeks after their services were rendered with information they had received from my builder.
We needed expert advice on our remodeling ideas. Structural Engineering & Inspections, LLC, were very responsive. Mr Vine came to our house and carefully listened to our ideas. He inspected several areas, including going into our unlit crawlspace to check for wall support for a particular wall. He prepared a detailed report which he sent in a very timely manner. The contractor we hired for the work was quite pleased to have a structural report already prepared.I would certainly use Structural Engineering & Inspections again, and I will certainly recommend this firm to any of our friends who need such a service.

When the team from Structural Engineering came out to look at my home, they did an excellent job and definitely met all of my expectations- exceeded them even. I think they are very good and can be trusted to complete the job and to have it done right.
The engineer came to my house. He gave us two ideas to use for our garage. I cant use his plans. We do our own work on our house. I would have to hire a contractor . He would not give us any other ideas. I have used a engineer before for the top level of my house to take out 4 low baring walls. Will have to call another person just so I can get a pole out of my garage .
We were very impressed with Mr. Vines. I would highly recommend him!
My favorite thing about working with Structural Engineering is that I know no matter what, their team in trustworthy. I know that they are extremely fair and tell you exactly like it is. I can count on them.
When I worked with Structural Engineering, I felt like all my questions were always answered. I was given a thorough report to address my foundation issues and received an explanation of everything that was going to be included in the report.
Money Hungry They lied about the time spent onsite & time spent on writing up an extensive report only to charge extra fees. Both are (not typical) in the paperwork they send out by the way. In my opinion they are extortionist by withholding documents until they collect any remaining fees above the initial $575.00 fee.
Quick to perform the inspection & willing to talk more after we had time to digest the report.
With Structural Engineering & Inspections, I am always impressed with the technicians ability to just come to my home and immediately understand what the problem is in my home. I know that when I contact them, theyll be able to come up with a solution and fix everything.

Could not have won my case in General Sessions without a structural engineering firm like SEI who will work for homeowners that are caught in a legal debacle with a contractor who did not do their job correctly.
SE&I has always been professional, prompt and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
Structural Engineering was great the first time I used them!
