Roman gave us just what we needed regarding advice on how to address weakened joists. Would hire again for future projects.

Would use them again in a heartbeat. Reviewed my concerns with some issues with our new house. Proposed several options to address them, taking into account factors related to how were were going to use space and feasibility if I wanted to do the work myself.

Roman was very helpful, and put my mind at ease about a few issues I was worried about.
Perma-Seal had come by, and had mentioned a few pretty expensive fixes for a damp basement. Roman was able to set my mind at ease, explain a few cost-effective ways to solve the problems I was having, and even brought peace of mind to a couple other issues that I had seen as “farther off” fixes.
He did a great job, and the money spent for peace of mind was really appreciated. Thank you Roman - will definitely reach out again in the future

FAQs
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
1. Selecting professional services on a cost basis is not a good idea - there are big and serious differences among architects.
2. A realistic quote for architectural services is only possible after a thoughtful conversation between parties.
