Why Choose Valerie Hill, PE?
Satisfied Customers
I received a referral to Valerie from a work associate after telling her about the difficulties I had been experiencing in locating a responsive Structural Engineer for my residential needs. In short, I couldn’t get anyone to return my phone calls. I reached out to Valerie via email the same day that I received the referral. She wrote me back within 9 minutes and we scheduled a consultation for the very next day. From that first contact to our last one at the completion of services, Valerie was attentive every step of the way.
During our interactions, I found Valerie to be supportive of my ideas when she could while providing me with viable alternatives when my initial ideas missed the mark. I found her to be quite personable with a genuine sense of humor. She demonstrated the ability to jump right in and get to work in a new environment while conveying a sense of ease, comfort, and confidence. I felt as if we already knew each other.
