Would put less than a star if I could. Very unethical business owner. Initially charged a rather large retainer, which was paid. Claims expertise of architect, but has no experience at all. Never trust them.

This company cannot keep a deadline, overcharges, messes stuff up and charges you while they fix it, has incompetent employees with deceptive titles, and has a disingenuous lead engineer/owner.

Report
Our customer was ordered by the city to repair or rebuild a failed wall, We contacted Jendusa Engineering to design a repair and write a report to fix the leaning wall . They were spot on! They got us the report in a timely manner, They were very thorough and designed a quality repair! They followed up with the city with the compliance inspection, and the customer was very happy. We highly recommend Jendusa Engineering.
