Had situation where inspector wants reassurances from a certified structural engineer during a framing inspection. I called Criterium. Talked to Paul Friday at noon during my first call attempt. Scheduled site visit for Monday morning. Engineer report with a visual sketch arrived by end of day Tuesday. Cant ask for much more in terms of professional response time on time-sensitive projects. Report was thorough. As a Residential Construction Project Manager and Consultant, Paul, Steve and Criterium is my go-to and has been for years. I have no reason to go elsewhere. Thank you paul and Steve for job well done!
Very satisfied with the work done by Criterium-Schimnowski. Scheduling was breeze and engineer assigned was polite and professional. I love the report given to me and the willingness of Kenton to answer any questions I will have in the future.Thanks Kenton for the good service
Kenton Spading was all business, well-spoken and thorough. I appreciated his demeanor throughout. I really enjoyed working with these guys and felt that the cost was justified by the assessment completed. 5 star service but that we are awaiting receipt of a list of contractors we need to get on with our job.
Paul and team were so easy to work with and timely. During a time when everything is stressful, they made a point to make time, answer all my questions, and give a report in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Criterium-Schimnowski for all your structural engineering needs.
Michelle was great to work with right off the bat. She understood the urgency of needing to get someone out to provide the structural report. Thankfully she was able to get Steve Eberly out the following day! He provided the report faster than promised and was open to us calling with questions. Amazing experience, highly recommend these guys!! THANK YOU!
I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for the professional advice from a structural engineer when purchasing a new home. As a first time home buyer, I was very overwhelmed when my home inspection pointed out concerns with the foundation. I contacted Criterium, and they were able to have an engineer out the following day. Kenton was very thorough, kind, helpful, and relieved a lot of my stress with pursuing the purchase of the home. It was no more than two days from the time I called to schedule an appointment, to when the report was in my hands. Grade A company!
Hiring Criterium to do an inspection of our building was one of the best things we did. Their knowledge and expertise was super helpful.
I was very impressed with Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers. Kenton Spading, PE was on time, and listened to my concerns. Mr. Spading performed a thorough inspection, and then walked me through with his findings. He answered all of my questions. Two business days later I have my written report. It clearly states my concerns, his findings and recommendations for any needed repairs. I am grateful and relieved to know my home is in good condition, and what I should consider to keep it that way.Thank you so much.
The C-S technician was professional, thorough, and polite. His report was submitted I a timely manner. My wife and I are confident I the recommendations we were given concerning our house.
Paul was great. He was patient with my explanations and listened to my input. He was prompt, and very cordial. Also wasnt afraid to crawl into my attic with me. Melissa was great with coordinating our appointment. Thanks guys and look forward to hearing what solutions you came up with for my wife and I.
Paul and his company were great to work with! I hired them to provide opinions on multiple structural changes to our house (removing/moving interior walls, removing attic trusses, and replacing a window/single swing door with a sliding door). Every step of the experience was smooth and efficient, from scheduling the appointment, having the inspection, receiving answers to my questions, and obtaining the final report. You can tell Paul generally cares about his clients and wants to help them find solutions to their problems. I will definitely hire them again in the future for any structural needs.Thanks!
Criterium Schimnowski Engineers is my go to company. I am a Realtor and have had many situations that require a structural engineer. They are ALWAYS professional and provide an unbiased evaluation and thorough report. I wouldnt use anyone else, in fact. They have saved deals for me and my clients while being extremely ethical. I strongly recommend them!
A fabulous experience with this company from the minute I reached out for help through the inspection and reporting of the findings. Communication was excellent, responsiveness to help meet critical timing and knowledgeable experts to answer questions and provide meaningful information to help my clients make critical decisions. I look forward to having them part of my tool box in the future. Heather Dawe RE/MAX RESULTS
A really good experience. We needed a quick turnaround and they delivered. The customer service was great. A well prepared and thought out report. Would recommend Criterium-Schimnowski to anyone needing engineering help.
The team at Criterium-Schimnowski has helped several of our real estate clients, both buyers and sellers, to assess and address a variety of structural concerns. They respond quickly, and professionally. In real estate transactions you want the plain facts and real solutions. They have confirmed that some items are normal and not a concern. For those issues where they recommend action, they have provided reasonable and logical solutions.
Steve did a pre-purchase inspection on a 1920’s house, in which my buyer had concerns about the foundation. Steve did a tremendous of providing clear and objective findings. He provided suggestions and was able to put his findings in context for a house of that period. The buyer was happy and I was able to negotiate for for the foundation suggestions. I consider Steve and his company to be one of my strategic partners in my real estate business. Teri Minard-Coldwell Banker Realty

Criterium-Schimnowski brought peace of mind. Criterium-Schimnowskis service and report was absolutely top notch. We were in a rush to get a foundation inspected on a home we wanted to buy. In 24 hours they arranged an inspection, inspected the foundation with us, and issued a through and excellent report. Thank you!

I am extremely pleased with the service I received from Criterium-Schimnowski Engineers. Especially when considering that I requested their help with no lead time and asked for a formal report in less than 24hrs to help me purchase a home with a serious structural issue. Even though I was demanding and probably not very polite becuae of the stressful sistuation; they were exceptionally patient and attentive with me to ensure I fully understood the structural issues I was dealing with. Basically, I was in over my head and they saved my butt.They did all of this for a competitive price.
I have used Criterium several times now. Easy to schedule, very thorough and high quality reports.
Initially things went well. We had some communication issues. Probably a fault on both sides. Rates were reasonable.
We hit some communication bumps but after all was said and done, they are a very trustworthy company. I would use them again.
