We employed McHale Engineering and Joe McHale to do the engineering on our own home in St. Helena, CA. It was done in three phases and McHale did all of them. We can attest to the fact that we are more than pleased with the result. The recent earthquake in Napa at 6.0 was a shocker even in St. Helena, 18 miles away. The house came through with flying colors and no structural damage nor a crack. That is good engineering! We could not be happier with the results. McHale’s design has been earthquake proven and it received an A+. In this Bay Area market, you should go with the best with McHale, because we will never know when the “Big One” is coming. You will be thankful you did hire McHale. Dick and Fonia Humphries St. Helena, CA
