Alameda Engineering

Lance and his team were fantastic. They installed a gravity-based, deep French drain around the foundation perimeter and added earthquake resilience under the porch at my Victorian. Lance handled all the inspections and permitting needed, and was on time and on budget for both projects. He and his team were excited to answer questions and talk about why’s behind the multiple proposed solutions.

His practical advice helped us tailor the project to our needs, considering structure, budget, and timing. The team was efficient, professional, and quick without skimping on quality. They know their stuff, paying close attention to detail to ensure everything was done right the first time. Being based in Castro Valley and well-acquainted with the local area added an extra layer of trust and convenience.
