Comments: I was playing around on HomeAdvisor looking for a structural engineer around 8PM and within a couple of minutes Dr. G called my phone. He was very professional and at the end of the conversation he texted me his information to contact his Administrator in the morning. I called Heather and had an appointment to meet with Dr G at he house that same day at 2PM. I arrived on time and he was already there looking at the outside of the foundation. He was able to answer all my questions and reassure me that the house would be a good purchase, but also recommended work that needed to be done most likely in the future. We had our letters from him written that same day and we were done with everything in less that hour. If you are buying a house and are concerned about the foundation, I highly recommend Dr. G. He works for the buyer and makes sure you know everything and every problem that might arise in the future with your new home purchase.

Comments: Dr. G was very pleasant to work with - I was considering purchasing a home that appeared to have some foundation issues, and I am very glad that I reached out to DOTec and Dr. G for help. He was very thorough in his inspection of the home, and he took the time to show me every detail and explain what we were looking at and why is was good/bad sign for the overall structure. He encouraged questions and provided his professional opinion on the scope and expense of repairs necessary with the home. His analysis and advice was well worth the cost of inspection!

Comments: Dr G was very friendly and came out promptly on time. Since my concerns were more of a cautious nature he walked me through what he saw, what work was and was not needed, a basic idea of repair costs and most importantly a direction for me to take moving forward. He ever advised that if I move forward with the pier work to call him again and he will come do a follow up with lasers at no cost for the recommendations for the potential pier co to work from. This will clearly show the scope of work from an engineer and prevent the pier co from over recommending services and costs not needed. Dr G was pleasant to talk with.

Comments: Dr. G investigated structural question in an investment property for me and I will call him again for the next project. He's knowledgeable and I trusted his recommendations and he definitely looks after the homeowner's interests. He'd be great for any investor investigating a structural issue prior to finalizing any contract and can provide documentation regarding any potential structural issues that might affect the value of the property. A more personalized report would have been nice for the price, but i'm not sure what i'd do with it if i had it. I got everything i needed.

Comments: I'm a real estate agent and recently had a contract fall thru due to an overzealous home inspector that decided to play engineer for the day. Luckily, after a little research I found DOTec and Dr. Gonzalez. Dr. G was able to meet me at the listing and review the problems in the report. He was personable, on time, and extremely knowledgeable. After our meeting, Dr. G wrote a letter explaining that codes had changed and at the time of the original construction everything was correct. He then explained the updates far exceeded current code standards. Often people give you his/her opinion on an issue, but don’t want to put anything in writing. Dr. G stands behind what he says. Furthermore, the entire process was very quick. If you are looking for somebody to review any structural / mechanical engineering issues, then I highly urge you to call DOTec and ask to speak to Dr. G. I will be recommending him to other agents and will use him the next time I need an engineer.

Comments: We had a crack in our basement and had a contract on our house that was for sale fall through because of it. So we decided to hire a structural engineer of our own. We had no idea who to call and home advisors reviews on Dr G were spot on! He called me personally within 15 min of request and was out at our house the following day with reassurance that our house was definitely structurally sound! All we had to do was get two cracks epoxied by company of our choice( specializing in foundation repairs) only a $700 fix. Thank you for putting us at ease! Highly recommend

Review Date: 03/07/2017 | Author: Anne F.

Comments: Dr G.. was very helpful. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. The price was less than other places I called but you wouldn't know it by the service! He checked out more than was required by the loan company at this time just to make sure our bases were covered and to help streamline the process.

Comments: Dr. Gonzalez was very helpful explaining the situation. Had made it very clear how to deal with a foundation dilemma on a potential house purchase. I learned to becareful of repairs performed by foundation companies. Only a few are recommended and provide a true structural fix. Some "fixes" are not the correct way to address stability problems. I recommend an independent structural engineer to perform the evaluation and make the recommendations. DOTEC/ Dr G performs the design and inspection, not the actual repair or construction services so I believe they are giving a 100% unbiased observation/ recommendation. I highly recommend DOTEC and Dr. G for any structural engineering situation.

Review Date: 01/26/2017 | Author: Mark L.

Comments: Dr. G was very willing to go above and beyond. He came out that same day I called which helped keep me on schedule. He verified that the work I intended to complete was the appropriate solution and told me that if I came upon any other concerns with the structural issue to give him a call.

Comments: Dr. G. was awesome, he called within a half hour of my request for service through Home Advisors. He was timely on setting up an appointment and taking care of my engineering needs. He went above and beyond with explaining my project in detail, and pointing out a few other structural issues that I should keep a watch on. Heather in his office was great as well, she helped with a few administrative needs and was on top of her follow-up. I would recommend DOTEC to anyone looking for Engineering consulting.

Comments: We absolutely loved Dr. G. This was the best decision we could have made. There was a possible foundation issue with a house we wanted to purchase. We had gotten bids for $12,000 worth of work. Before walking, we decided to hire a structural engineer to look at the house before we gave up on it, because we really liked the house. He was so thorough and took his time going through the house, inside and out, and put our fears to rest. He checked every inch of the house. It was the best money we could have spent. The seller's agent also attended the inspection and we were both satisfied with the work he did recommend, which was really minor compared to the bids we had received. He said we could call him with any questions or to look at the work after it was completed. He was wonderful. He told us what to watch for, told us what was wonderful about this house, and made us comfortable moving forward with the sale.

Comments: At first I was a little weary of the cost, but having an impartial party come out, inspect and provide recommendations was a great relief when getting our house ready to sell. He laid out the steps we needed to take, gave us the list of companies to contact, and even told us what to expect when each came out. He came back out after we had the work done for no additional cost to sign off on the work, and even gave us recommendations on how to position to mitigate any concerns for the future home owner. He also provided a recommendation for someone who could do some landscape work we needed to complete. I would highly recommend Dr. G.

Comments: I was very pleased with the service. The engineer was very knowledgeable and explained that what we thought were bad structural issues were just normal settling. The price was a little high and I realized days later that it was because the coupons weren't applied to the price. But all-in-all I would recommend him again.

Comments: Al Gonzoles is very knowlegable with impressive credentials! Immediately after introductions he was scanning the walls for signs of structural damage. He not only stressed areas of concern, but advised on which steps to take in order of importance. Major projects can be done later which saved me thousands of dollars and prevented further catastrophic damage. He also provided referrals to reputable companies. In the end, he offered to allow my son (a future engineer) to shadow him for a day. He will become a friend of the family in addition to his already established top notch professionalism.

He also indicated the seriousness, as well as a solution to a foundation issue I have which could turn out to be catastrophic. There were some places which are covered by drywall still which he asked me to send him pictures of when I uncover them and he would advise me on those as well, since we could not see them at this time.

Comments: Responded to inquiry in less than 24hrs. I was a homebuyer looking at what was supposed to be a fixed foundation issue by seller. DOTEC made me aware of a far more serious situation than what several other people including me were unaware of. This allowed me to decline the contract on the house saving me from possibly a $20,000 foundation repair.
