  • I have worked with Joe on projects for over 25 years. I have a lot of respect for his knowledge, professionalism and creative problem solving with challenging soil conditions. I consider him an expert in dealing with expansive clay soils found in Woodside, Atherton and Menlo Park areas.

  • Joe Michelucci is my favorite soils engineer for anything on the Peninsula. He is also good for jobs in other parts of the Bay Area, but I have found his expertise on projects on the Peninsula to be The Best. I’m a civil and structural engineer with offices on the Peninsula for many years. I have worked with many soils engineers over the last forty years, so I hope that my endorsement is an informed one.


    Eric C. – Burlingame, CA

  • My boss works with these folks from time to time. They have helped him and his clients be more aware about what is exactly going on with properties regarding the soil engineering aspect. With that said, Buyers and Sellers have been able to move forward confidently, whatever they had decided to do after being educated.
