THANK YOU to Penn Valley Engineering! I used them as a THIRD inspection on a home that had some brick work that was called out on the initial inspection... read more and looked problematic. My first conversation was with Brad, who was able to quickly accommodate my schedule and have someone out the very next week. Greg showed up and was not only through, but took the time to walk the property with me and explain, in great detail, what was going on. It turned out that the brick work was not the problem, but the wall was not structurally sound and would have cost my family THOUSANDS of dollars to remedy, if we had moved forward with the purchase. The cost of the survey was was money very well spent....that prevented my family from a major purchase that could have potentially cost us dearly financially. THANK YOU PENN VALLEY ENGINEERING!

Bad bones can be tricky for a lay person to spot, but solid data is... read more everything in a negotiation... the inspection report saved us tens of thousands of dollars and the kind of nasty surprises new home owners dread uncovering on the wrong side of closing.

I contacted them for a house inspection. The process was smooth. Brad is patient, taking the time to explain anything I might have questions about before the inspection. During the... read more inspection, the engineer showed up on time and prepared. They explained what the inspection would entail and began their data gathering.

Penn Valley has a wealth of knowledge and would highly recommend to those in my community. Greg is patient and informative. When in the search for purchasing a home I... read more had made an offer that had been accepted on a row home in Port Richmond/Fishtown area. I had several concerns regarding the exterior structure. Greg came out promptly and was extremely honest with me. He informed me that the front of the house was bowing out and would need to either be completely redone OR have stars placed. He was very honest with me and stated that the price that I was willing to pay for the house would not be beneficial for me in the terms of a long term investment. His professionalism mixed with genuine care led me to the decision to back out of that particular closing. I am incredibly thankful for their time and expertise. Will always use this business moving forward!

At the advice of a contractor, we called Penn Valley Engineering because our floors were not level and were sinking. The engineer came out within a few days and... read more did an inspection of our house and followed up with a written report that was very detailed and explained everything so that we could understand what was going on. It turned out that the columns in the basement were sinking and the main floor beam was too small for the house and it needed to be replaced. Greg recommended replacing the floor beam with a new one and replacing the columns with new ones and new concrete footings, so we ordered the plans and received them back in about a week or so and we hired a contractor to do the work. Our floors are nice and even now. I would hire Penn Valley Engineering again without any hesitation, they really helped us every step of the way. Thank you! Debbie
