Jade Engineering & Inspection Evaluation Services

My name is James Durham and I am president and owner of Jade Engineering & Inspection. I started Jade Engineering in 1987 and we’ve been in practice now for over 31 years.

Our primary objective and goal is to provide unbiased engineering evaluations of real estate properties both residential and commercial. Our overall goal is to put the house into proper perspective for you. A lot of times, houses are evaluated by contractors, foundation repair contractors, roofers, a number of different building trades— all who often recommend expensive repairs, and we provide a second opinion, whether those repairs are truly necessary.

We would like our clients to understand that we provide impartial evaluations. We do not make repairs. The primary benefit of hiring Jade Engineering is our over three decades of experience evaluating structural, foundation, moisture related— any type of problem with a residential or commercial building.

Why Jade?

The primary difference between our company, Jade Engineering, and other structural engineers is that we strictly focus on residential and commercial problem evaluations. We do not make our living making repairs to houses or commercial buildings. We are non-biased. We are educated; we understand the engineering aspects of houses and commercial buildings.

We Want to Earn Your Trust

Our motivation is to earn customer loyalty. We want to impress upon you our knowledge and expertise so that you’ll tell your friends and family the great experience you had. We have worked extensively to understand the most common foundation and structural problems with houses and commercial buildings and have an advantage over our competition through years of focused experience.
