CRES Engineering Services

Andres created a complete set of plans for our major remodel (think wall coming down, adding shear to the home, reconfiguring the master suite, etc.). I got them APPROVED OVER THE COUNTER in Martinez (and that speaks leaps and bounds for his work… we had NO ISSUES with the engineering review!). He is everything you’d want… great communicator and always prompt with his replies, a genuinely nice guy and pleasant to work with (what a bonus!), and THE MOST IMPORTANT TEST of any person you hire when doing work on your house he handled the hiccups amazingly. We had a few pop up and as expected based on his professionalism and work ethic he handled them perfectly.
A lot of engineers want to CYA and are extremely conservative adding a bunch of things that cost big $$ and that you may not necessarily need. Andres was the perfect balance of making sure you had a sound home (he had a mentality of designing it as if he was to live there) without adding a ton of things that would just drive up your budget unnecessarily. He was patient with my never ending list of questions which if you’re type A like me is a huge + :)
He may not be the cheapest but is very fair and worth a little more than the guy who you can’t communicate with and would worry about the soundness of his work. I managed to save on an architect because Andres wasn’t just a numbers algorithm crunching guy and successfully put together my entire set of plans for the project.
