I had a problem with a renovated shower. I had no idea where to get advice for this problem. I remembered hearing of Edward Robinson on Steve Drake's radio program, so although it was a relatively small problem I called Professional Engineering. Spoke with Nancy, very professional and kind, and Edward called the very next day with very important information and advice. This is so rare these days. I highly recommend Edward and would certainly not buy a house or do any large renovation with his inspection! Thank you Edward!!

I highly recommend Professional Engineering. Edward performs extremely thorough and detailed inspections at a fair price. My family has used him for years and he personally saved my wife and I thousands of dollars when he found a compromised structural beam in our new home before we purchased it. I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Great service, highly recommend!
Mr. Robinson was very thorough in his evaluation of our home’s foundation, front to back, inside and outside. He explained what he was doing and he clearly and in plain English answered all my questions.
After the analysis we received a detailed written report.
I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.

Edward was extremely professional and spent considerable time at each stage of the inspection ensuring that every detail was covered. He not only displayed a sincere interest in being thorough in his work, but also in helping us to understand each step of the process (taking time to explain details that might otherwise have gone unnoticed). When we received the written report, we found it to be very comprehensive (well above the norm) and we were grateful for the care taken to assess the full condition of the property. Edward was a nice guy to boot. Highly recommend!

Edward and his company are hands down the best there is in Houston. We’ve retained Professional Engineering for multiple home buys, both existing and new build. Simply put, there is no one more thorough, helpful, and detail oriented in the business. If I could give five more stars, I would. Worth every penny, and more.

If you’re looking for an honest and thorough home inspection, you can do no better than Ed Robinson.
We’ve used Ed a number of times for pre purchase residential home inspections.
This is not your 30 minute / ready in an hour inspection. Ed meticulously examined a 4000sqft property for over 8 hours. We received 35 pages of detailed descriptions of his findings, explanations with respect to code and expected repair costs. His extensive knowledge and engineering background yields a unique and thorough report.
This property had passed another company’s inspection the week before that did

My husband and I were purchasing our first home and wanted to have an engineers inspection conducted during our 7 day option period. I called Professional Engineering Inspections, Inc. and they were able to fit us in within a couple days. They sent Edward Robinson out to the house to conduct the inspection. We told him we were first time home buyers and he was wonderful with us! He spent 3 hours and covered every inch of the one story 2,000sq home. He talked us through everything he was doing. He explained preventative measures we could take and showed us what to look for when inspecting a house

PEI is a great outfit. I was deployed to Iraq shortly after the arrival of our first child and only weeks into the construction of our first home. This left my wife to deal with the stresses of construction, parenthood, and a husband in combat. In rides Edward and PEI. He monitored the progress of our home, worked with the home builder to resolve issues before they landed in my wife's lap, and was there to supply badly needed peace of mind for my wife and me. Thanks to PEI, construction finished with next to no issues and the quality of our home was improved by Ed's involvement. The true testament
