LAV Engineering

We have an older house and had a few concerns about the foundation's integrity. We also want to remove a few walls to open the inside, but we had load-bearing wall concerns. Although the project is not large-scale, Louis came out, walked through the questionable areas, and reassured us in many ways. He spoke in understandable terms that worked for someone who doesn't have an engineer mindset and explained in detail what we could do. He also asked that he be included in the project to address any concerns that may arise during the construction, offer recommendations, and make himself available when needed. My husband showed up from work later in the appointment, and Louis took the time to cover everything with him in detail. We will recommend LAV Engineering to anyone looking to do a project.

Just awesome! Contacted LAV about concrete issues and our newly built home, as well as an Ancillary Dwelling Structure. We needed advice, counsel, a go-forward strategy and an advocate. EVERY attribute you'd want to find in a highly professional firm: Competency, Responsiveness, Communication, Subject Matter Expertise, Perseverance - even superior interpersonal skills and being treated like a valuable client - LAV has all these attributes and more. They educated us as a partner as well as performed beyond our expectations. LAV isn't a frim that is just "best in class" -- they truly are in "a class by themselves." Clearly why they have the reputation as this region's #1 firm - they earn it every time.

I really appreciate Louis taking the time to share a bit of his expertise with us. He really knows what he's talking about, and he also knows the Ormond Beach area very well. Excellent advice and guidance was provided, and we absolutely will call again the next time we require work with our foundation or the structure of our home. Now that I understand, I would definitely tell a friend to call LAV before letting any other company touch your home. Thanks again for your time & patience with us, sir! Your help is greatly appreciated!

I had a great experience with Louis. He went above and beyond to address my concerns, which thankfully turned out to be less severe than I feared. He inspected my house thoroughly, explained his observations clearly, and was honest in telling us we did not have the issues we thought we had. His assessment saved us thousands of dollars on a repair we do not need. He also put me in contact with another service provider that could address the actual issue we’re having, which is outside his scope of services. Highly recommend!

We sustained structural damage to our home during hurricane Ian. In the chaos of trying to find services in the aftermath of the storm, Louis and the team at LAV Engineering pulled through and exceeded expectations. Louis provided us with the engineering plans we needed for repairs within days of contacting him. He worked hand in hand with the contractor we hired to ensure everything would be done correctly. He was communicative, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!
