M.A. Engineering

.. Well, I rarely post any reviews online but decided to take time to draft this bcos MA Engineering and Michael Comaroto absolutely deserve this! I received one of the best service a homeowner can imagine. I reached out to Michael after shortlisting him from my research to draw structural plans for a major remodel and addition that we were doing. What followed from that initial call was just phenomenal. Not only the service cost was very reasonable, but right from explaining every minor detail to quick turnaround, Michael was there all along. More than anything, his quality of work is exceptional. Even when I 'cross-questioned' him if we needed few over-protection on the plan so I can potentially save few construction costs, he would never take any short cuts.. The best thing is he was explaining all his decisions and recommendations thoroughly so you would never doubt the next steps. Also I needed his feedback on Truss design, he was pointing some minor details that many people would miss. Overall, Michael and MA Engineering provided the best possible service any homeowner can think of, when they are in need of structural drawings for City permits. I would whole-heartedly recommend Michael and his company.

We had the pleasure of working with Mike during our recent home remodel project, and we couldn't be more satisfied with his service. He went above and beyond to make sure the engineering design was the most optimal. No matter how many questions we had, he was always there to address any concerns or questions promptly. This level of knowledge, attention to detail and his intent to do a great job instilled a sense of confidence in us, knowing that our house was in capable hands. His knowledge is invaluable. He personally visited our house multiple times to look at the structure, supervise the foundation scan, discuss with the contractor and even spoke to the city’s plan check engineer in advance to understand expectations. He guided us through each step with clarity and expertise, making what could have been a daunting process much more manageable. What truly sets Mike apart is his genuine care for his clients’ interest and love for his profession. We have not worked with many people with such high work ethics. We wholeheartedly recommend Mike to anyone in need of a structural engineer.

Mike did great concise work for me in a tight time frame in providing expert opinion structural analysis. I would highly recommend him for his skills and professionalism. Specifically, he provided critical structural analysis to show that existing conditions relating to a swimming pool dig-out posed serious threats to neighboring buildings including mine. See attached photo. The work in question had been done without permit and the building owner was successfully lobbying to leave the swimming pool crater as-is and simply cover it with a deck. I brought this matter to the attention of the Board of Supervisors to course-correct the Building Department and the Board sided with Mike's analysis that the crater must be filled in to be stable. Mike's work was both practical and articulate as evidenced by the unanimous support of the Supervisors. The pool crater has been filled in and my immediate neighbors and I rest more easily because of Mike.

I have worked with M.A. Engineering for several of my architectural projects, both residential and commercial. They are very easy to work with and are great at communication, which makes the coordination process very streamlined. M.A. Engineering is very knowledgeable and exemplifies diligent work in structural engineering, ensuring the design is in sync with each other across all disciplines. Perhaps one of their best attribute in my experience is their understanding and consideration for the client, both from a cost perspective as well as their care of the relationship. I look forward to working on many upcoming projects with them.

M A Engineering is extremely professional while also being friendly and easy to work with. Michael prioritizes efficient design and cost effective solutions that are truly beneficial to a project and greatly appreciated by all our Clients. He works well with all the consultants on a project and is always eager to help. Michael is very knowledgeable and open to discussing options to ensure the design intent is met. His structural design is always project specific ensuring the best solution for every project. I highly recommend M A Engineering for all your structural engineering needs!
