Lange engineering did a phenomenal job of inspecting my prospective home purchase, well worth the money. Eric's report was clear and concise delivered in a timely manner. Eric quickly provided answers to my follow up questions. Could not have asked for a better experience.

I'm an architect and perhaps overly concerned about foundation performance. I have had Eric come out twice, the first time two years ago, and the second recently to allow us to compare the results of the surveys and investigations. Eric's expertise and professionalism give me the piece of mind I need to maintain my home. I highly recommend Lange Engineering as part of your home ownership team.

Put bluntly, we contacted Lange Engineering out of desperation. Our 1959 house was built on a specialty slab that several Dallas area foundation companies and engineers hadn't seen before, and we were being pressured to get ~$50k of foundation repairs done to our home. That sales pressure and our hesitation and uncertainty for such a huge repair led us to try to find a structural engineer for a second opinion. Eric was very responsive, answered a lot of my immediate questions over the phone, and came out a week later for an inspection and recommended repair plan. It was clear he had the depth of knowledge needed about our screeded slab as well as the experience and expertise needed for how to deal with our home's specific situation. He was knowledgeable and efficient, and was willing to talk through all of our concerns as well as the repairs suggested by two foundation companies. He put us at ease and gave us recommendations for the future to alleviate concerns. Hiring Lange Engineering was money well spent and we're incredibly thankful that we found his services.

Eric did an excellent job. I requested an appointment and he got back to me within a day to schedule. I had a lot of questions related to foundations and their repairs in general and he patiently and thoroughly answered all of them. I got the report the same day. Prices are transparent on the website.

Following recommendation from a reputable foundation repair company that we needed 20 piers, I contacted Eric Lange. Eric was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable and punctual and came on the same business day to inspect our foundation, and provided a detailed inspection report in less than 24 hours. To our surprise, he told us that our foundation was level and within acceptable standards and did not need any piers after all, saving us thousands of dollars. He also made detailed recommendations regarding maintenance, to prevent future foundation problems. I would highly recommend Eric Lange before getting estimates from foundation repair companies.

1624591008

Eric saved me from spending money on foundation repair companies trying to sell me piers I don’t need!He was very helpful, informative, and took the time to answer all my questions.If you have cracks, doors are sticking and you call a foundation company they will recommend piers right away. Eric’s opinion is very valuable because he doesn’t benefit if you decide to get the piers or not; It’s good to get an independent opinion from an engineer.

Eric came by and spent a couple of hours here. He gave us some great recommendations on why we were seeing cracks in the walls and wrote up a very detailed report to back up his recommendations. We respected his expertise in this area. I recommend him to anyone looking at a unbiased opinion on your foundation. I just wish we used him prior to buying this house a year ago!!!

Thanks Eric!

Eric was responsive, thorough and extremely knowledgeable!! Highly recommend him for any foundation inspections. He really knows his stuff 😊

After comparing with another foundation inspection company, I decided to go with Lange because of two reasons: stellar online reviews and the detailed, transparent and resourceful information on Lange’s homepage. I liked how the fees were laid out on his website based on square footage. The other company that I was considering didn’t have an address or an office number. I think he was working out of his home.Putting up a lot of helpful information more so than any other website I searched and laying out fees upfront provided transparency which made me trust the company. Eric answered all the questions I had on the day of the inspection and gave an assessment which provided piece of mind. I would recommend Lange Engineering to anyone who is looking for a foundation inspection.

1601682801

Eric is very professional and he is very patient to help me understand issues and remediation options.Thanks again for your help today.

1600188857

Very detailed work and explained to us the issues we were having. Used him to assess the foundation of a house we were purchasing.Also very reasonable pricing compared to others. And he does not work with the foundation companies that are just trying to get work, Eric is independent.Gave us a detailed report along with recommendations to address issues.

1599576702

Eric was very professional and respectful. He investigated my house thoroughly, and explained the issues and answered questions in details. Receiving the reports on the same day was definitely a plus.

1599408668

The representative who came out to inspect the house was very professional, very respectful, and very safe; wearing a mask all day inside customers' homes has got to be tiring, but he did so without ever removing his or complaining, which is wonderful to see during a global pandemic. I appreciate his work and advice, although I was told I would be emailed a list of references for foundation repair, and have not received them yet. Regardless, excellent service!

1599255360

Prompt, professional service. Eric was thorough and explained our issues in terms that we could understand. Would highly recommend.

1595873356

Very professional. Same day service!

1594914580

Eric got back to me the same day with a very reasonable quote and was able to come out the following business day to inspect my foundation. There were some small things that concerned my wife and I and he was happy to take a look. When he arrived (on time) he was quick and efficient. After the inspection, he sat down with me and showed me his drawing and measurements and made some small recommendations, but assured us he didn't see any major flaws in the foundation. He was fair, honest, and thorough. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an inspection or foundation work. (COVID Update: I also wanted to point out that he wore a mask the entire time he was in our home and made minimal contact. I'm sure the mask was unpleasant in the Texas heat, but he wore it the entire time).

Eric Lange is very professional. Agree with all the 5 star reviewers. I will highly recommend his services. Just wish the results were better news. The fault is in the foundation, not him.

1591297455

Requested a structural engineer report for our foundation of our home. Erik was responsive, kind and great to work with. Communication both before and after have been fantastic and thorough. Reports promised were sent promptly. I hope to never need their services again in the future, but if I do I will not hesitate to reach back out to them. And I recommend them to anyone needing this kind of work done.

1591096536

Eric was honest, timely, efficient, and explained his findings in layman’s terms. I will definitely use his services again.

1590170404

Eric was great! Best investment for my homes’ foundation by far. He was very friendly and got the job done quickly!

1589985078

Eric was very thorough in his inspection, then took the time afterward to go over his findings and recommendations with us which we appreciated. We received his full report later that evening, with the professional drawings required for the permit. Eric was great to work with, and I highly recommend him for anyone needing an unbiased inspection for structure or foundation needs.

I did not know what to expect from a foundation inspection firm. However, I am glad that I decided to go with Lange Engineering. Eric was punctual, professional, and friendly. He gave me a thorough summary of my house foundation status and recommendations to follow. Money well spent and I now have a baseline incase there are any future changes to our foundation. Highly recommend Lange Engineering if you are in need of someone.

Lange Engineering is the structural engineering company I would highly recommend for a foundation inspection. Eric is extremely thorough and competent. He takes his time inspecting the deficiencies on the exterior and interior of the home. Floor elevations were taken using a calibrated measuring device. After the inspection, Eric took a lot of time to explain the results of his findings. Two days after the inspection, I received the written foundation report and drawing.
