DrBalcony is a Licensed Civil Engineering Firm — NOT a Construction Company.
Do not trust contractors who inspect your property. Contractors profit from finding problems — because they sell you the repairs. Every problem they “discover” is money in their pocket. That is a direct conflict of interest.
We are different. DrBalcony is a civil engineering firm. We do not do repairs. We do not sell materials. Our only job is to give you an honest, PE-stamped engineering assessment that holds up in court, satisfies your insurance carrier, and protects you from personal liability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Emergency inspections are warranted when you observe: visible cracks or spalling in concrete, sagging or deflection, water damage or rot, loose railings or guardrails, a recent balcony collapse nearby, or a tenant complaint about structural concerns. When in doubt, call us — we’d rather do an unnecessary inspection than miss a real hazard.
For safety-critical situations, we can typically schedule an on-site inspection within 24-48 hours. Call (805) 312-8508 directly for emergency scheduling. We serve all of California.
If our engineer determines a balcony poses an immediate safety risk, we provide same-day verbal findings and recommend restricting access immediately. The written PE report follows within 48 hours with specific repair recommendations and a detailed scope of work.
If you have visible structural damage, sagging, or cracking, yes — restrict access immediately as a precaution. Our engineer will confirm whether the restriction is warranted during the inspection. Safety first.
