Emiliano Elenez
Great job all the way around by Ian Ray and Evergreen Structures. Ian really knows his stuff and is willing and able to share that knowledge in layman's terms, while elevating to more technical explanations when needed. He did a great job educating me on the structural integrity of my home and presented numerous options in a low-pressure and collaborative way. I recommend Evergreen Structures.

Anna-Sophia Lowe
Ian was great! He was early to our scheduled time and had contacted the seller to set everything up. While he worked he explained a whole lot to me showing his knowledge and experience. The report he gave us was very comprehensive and his recommendations for the short and long terms were well in line with our conversation and made sense with what he showed from our inspection. Highly recommend you use this company for your needs.

Ian provided continuing education training to insurance professionals at The Dallas Claims Association. Ian's presentation was concise, well organized and provided good evidence of how structures can be damaged over time when not constructed properly, or when improper techniques were used pre or post construction.
