Called in this engineer to assess the the structure of our roof bracings. Engineer only assessed the condition from afar (did not venture to the far side of the attic to assess the joists that we were most concerned about). Billed us before sending the written report which took 6 weeks to receive and then sent a second bill for an additional amount with no explanation.

No response when I inquired via email about the second bill. He then resent the unpaid second bill 4 months later with no explanation. Very unprofessional. Would not trust him to do any significant work on our home.

I've used Fred Cowen a number of times during a whole house renovation. He's been professional & prompt during his inspections and reports. I highly recommend him.
