Facade engineer recommendations

Hi everybody, We need to get our badly cracked brownstone stucco facade redone. However, before we start we would like to have an engineer inspect the parapet and a bulge above the first floor unit to determine whether there are structural issues with the building.  Can anyone recommend a good engineer? Ideally they would specialize in facades, however we’d welcome recommendations for any well respected engineers. Thanks

hi crackedstucco, did you decide to go with roy d? i got a couple of quotes and now i’m thinking of getting a quote from him based on your last post/recommendations for a similar job though i don’t need an engineer.

Jay Butler, PE specializes in facades.  You would get a thorough examination and recommendations from him.  I know him both as a client of his, and he has been a client of mine.  mail@jaybutlerpe.com
