I called to get their structural engineer out to check the foundation on our 1920s home we just bought.
The man I spoke with was very nice and told me that generally it would cost an hourly rate and could be upwards of 500$ but because it would take him less than half an hour it would only cost me 100$ (the charge for the hour) plus a 25$ fee to get a copy of the inspection report, and he'd give me the deal since it was a quick visual inspection that wouldn't take him any time at all.
I was grateful because of all the money I already have put into the house.
He came on a Friday at 11am and left by 11:25, I thanked him for his willingness to answer all my questions an the security that my house wasn't going to topple.
Then in the following weeks I recieved a bill for $375 dollars, when I called to dispute the amount i was told that standard cost was 500$. The gentleman who helped me was no longer employed with them, and had relayed no information to them.
When I told them he had told me no more than $125 for his time, they responded that the extra 250$ was because of driving and the time it took to write the report. (I live near main street downtown, for distance)

Needless to say I am very disappointed that there wasnt any helpfulness, the man I spoke with was short with me and repeated that standard is 500$, and that the previous engineer never wrote any notes regarding the agreement.
I'm disappointed that I did not get in writing what I was told, foolishly expecting this kind gesture would be honored.
I would not recommend EHM for this reason.

Talked with Gary Bowlin on the phone about an addition with some questions about blueprints we needed engineered and what is needed or if they were even willing to do it. Not only was he completely rude and disrespectful with regards to questions and telling us he "can't believe we've wasted our time and money this far" and "can't believe you would think you could do an addition on that" he was completely less than willing to help in any way or explore other options or recommend a firm that could engineer them. He was completely put out that we would even waste his time on the phone answering our questions and trying to get our business. I understand they likely have bigger fish to fry during these times than some residential engineering but that's the true test of a company and person is how the "little people" are treated during the good times and bad. Would never recommend this company. Can't speak to any of the other engineers, might be great people, but one bad apple spoils the whole batch.

Ended up going with another firm out of Idaho Falls and had absolutely zero difficulties getting our plans engineered with no changes to the original floor plan and they were happy to help us. They didn't understand why EHM said it couldn't be done. We were happy to give this other company our business. Our project is under way.
