A LITTLE ABOUT US

We saw there was a need:
Grubb Engineering Services, Inc. was founded out of a need… a need for an accessible, experienced structural engineering company that considers the small residential inspection just as important as large commercial design projects. We want you to know that we will make your project a priority!

We don’t just design structures… we build relationships:
The majority of our projects are for repeat customers. They continue to call on us because we take care of our clients from the concept design phase and on to project completion. From sophisticated general contractors to non-construction-savvy homeowners, we are committed to providing excellent service because YOUR PROJECT MATTERS!

Design for function and ease:
Our years of experience in both structural design and field installation provide you with solutions that perform better and are easier to build and maintain. Over the years we’ve found that quality doesn’t cost, it pays.
