"I am a custom builder of single family residence homes in the Chicago suburbs who is pleased to say that my experience with Cardinal Structural Design, Inc. was outstanding. The charges were reasonable and the work was detailed and understandable. Initially I found myself faced with a very complicated situation resulting from an inadequate design by the original architect for a 10,000 square foot home with a very large, complex flat roof. Because the problems were not apparent until after most of the roof had been completed, the task of achieving adequate structural details was much more challenging than starting from the beginning. We decided a complete structural review of the home and blueprint was required before deciding how to address the many areas of concern. One of the primary worries given the serious nature of some of the deficiencies was overly conservative solutions that would result in an unnecessarily high repair bill. Matt Mazza was sensitive to this and proved to be very realistic and totally professional in his approach. He was willing to consider alternate solutions to help control the cost when the first or second idea seemed quite difficult or expensive. The overall project required numerous site visits and meetings with changes totaling well over $20,000. Unfortunately, this turned out to be an extensive job. I think Matt would agree that some of the fixes were a "first." Fortunately, the end product is a sound home for my customer who is satisfied knowing he will not experience any problems in the future. I would not hesitate to use Cardinal Structural Design, Inc. again. If you need additional information, please feel free to contact me." Robert Alvis, President Field Stone Custom Homes 630-858-6035
