Reviews & Testimonials

I can't say enough about Brad and Greg. I recently had a past customer ask me to review a home inspection report – specifically the structural summary that was... read more completed by Dobbins Home Inspections. The pictures and detail of the report gave me enough that I knew they needed to secure a structural engineer. Without hesitation I recommended that they call PVE to inspect the property to confirm structural deficiencies and provide professional recommendations. Their summary and sealed drawings are one of my favorites – top notch. In my business….you appreciate being handed a report and drawing(s) from customers of PVE. I went a step further and called Andrew at Dobbins Home Inspections on behalf of my customer to compliment him on his well written report. While I had Andrew on the line I took the opportunity to ask who they would recommend regarding a structural engineer...and coincidentally Andrew also recommended PVE without hesitation. It truly felt good to hear. I shared the mutual recommendation with my customer. To say the least…they were completely thankful for the professionalism we all provided…making it easier for their family to make their financial decision and feel safe in their new home. Networking with likeminded professionals is always beneficial when providing the best of of customer service to our current and future customers. I shared this story with Brad at PVE and the best way to thank anyone in business is to provide a referral. Thank you Brad, Greg and Andrew...I'm a fan!

When I first called Penn Valley Engineering, Brad was friendly and unrushed and asked lots of great questions, and took time to understand our concerns about the house we are... read more looking to buy. At the actual inspection, Greg walked me through every detail of the structural issues of the house and the potential remedies, and even pointed out a couple of other things the general home inspector had missed. After the inspection, Brad called me right away to go over what we'd learned and make sure I understood what we needed to do with the information with regard to negotiating with the seller. Brad knew we were under a time crunch, so they both went above and beyond to get our report to us ASAP. I appreciate their time, their consideration, and their expertise and we'll be recommending them to others we know who are in similar situations. Thank you Brad & Greg!
