Testimonial

by Aaron and Kimberly, Windham, NH

  

  

We were fortunate to work closely with Nancy for structural repairs of our log house.  It's construction in the 1970's clearly did not correctly account for the weight of the home's massive logs, planks, and winter snow loads on the large surface of our saltbox roof.  A basement beam was being crushed under the stress, which was the only obvious sign of a problem.  We contacted Nancy to investigate, and never looked back. She was responsive, professional, thorough, honest, creative, open-minded, resource conscious, and friendly throughout the entire process.  Little did we know that structural improvements were needed not just in the basement, but through both floors of the house, and up to the attic rafters!  We and our contractor for the work agreed, it was a pleasure to work closely with Nancy, and we highly recommend her for structural analysis and solutions.

Our project was extremely complicated - restoring a 115 year-old family camp with extensive damage from a fallen tree - and we could not have done it without Nancy. The very first day she arrived on site, she heroically crawled under the house amidst a field of chaotic debris to make a complete assessment of the damage. From that day forward, her commitment to the project and her deep intelligence and genius for problem-solving were clear. Our goals were to save the house and to retain as much of its unique original character as possible: given the state it was in, others might have advised us to tear it down and rebuild, but not Nancy. She masterminded a helical pier foundation, new roof, and steel beam support system that not only saved the house for generations to come, but were also so well camouflaged into the existing woodwork as to be nearly undetectable. The finished product is an ingenius design and, so to speak, a marvel of engineering. Beyond that, Nancy is a wonderful person: personable, patient and easy to communicate with. She also worked seamlessly with the lead contractor on the project, who sang the praises of her work at every opportunity. We could not be more grateful to her and would recommend her without reservation to anyone in need of a truly excellent engineer.

I had the pleasure of working with Nancy Nichols on an in-law addition project.


She is very professional.  She took our concerns and ideas and was able to design a very nice addition.


I very much appreciate the fact that she is a structural engineer giving me confidence in the project and design.


Nancy is approachable, responsive and listens!


I will use her again in the future for any project that requires engineering services!

It was incredible to have Nancy Nichols on our side when we were faced with serious problems at our new construction home. Our project was complicated, but Nancy was very responsive from day #1 and willing to take it on. She understood the complexity of the problems and was very compassionate to us.

 

Nancy conducted on-site field work and performed a thorough site evaluation. As project manager, Nancy coordinated with other professionals and disciplines on our project and worked well with them. Every step of the way, Nancy kept us informed and clearly explained everything.

Nancy then prepared a comprehensive report of her findings as well as her recommendations. Her vast experience and knowledge coupled with her professional and courteous attitude far exceeded our expectations.

 

If you are looking for a conscientious, highly-qualified engineer with high ethical standards, or if you need a home inspector who looks at the whole picture with a keen set of eyes and has your best interest and investment in mind, we highly recommend Nancy Nichols. She is the best.
