Shear Force Engineering + Structural Design - Truckee, California

Jameson Schwab

Brandon and his team are professional and reliable, something hard to find in the Truckee/Tahoe area these days! He is also helpful with generating a game plan, making site visits, and genuinely cares about seeing projects through to completion. He helped us design an exterior stairway and landing to convert our master bedroom above garage into an ADU. Highly recommended.

Shear Force has been a partner and ally of ours for years. Brandon can always look at a tough situation or complicated circumstance and come up with a simple, efficient and elegant solution, which is of great value to us as general contractors. Thank you for all your help Brandon and here is to many more years working together!

Brandon is outstanding. I’ve worked with him on 2 projects now and he has delivered on-time, at the stated estimate, and my GC has found his work to be of perfect quality. I would re-hire Shear Force in the future for my Tahoe-Truckee engineering needs.

Lili Gaudreau

Professional, knowledgeable and efficient!! When our home was facing imminent collapse, Brandon provided an assessment and worked with a contractor to secure our home until permanent repairs could be made.

Megan DeLong

Brandon was an amazing resource! My client was thinking of purchasing a home on a hill and our general inspection report did not show any signs of defects in the foundation. But Brandon's expertise and eye for detail helped us to identify some very clear issues that would have come up and potentially costed $1000s. He helped my clients to decide which route to take and saved everyone time and money. He was professional, timely and his skills are unmatched. Hire Shear Force Engineering for any project you need professionals on!

I have consulted with Brandon Brooks multiple times regarding my home and plans for a future ADU. He is not only extremely knowledgeable regarding structural analysis, but also in design, and with local codes and permitting processes. He is very personable and trustworthy. I will be using Shear Force for all my structural needs.

Brandons service at Shear Force was punctual, professional, and reasonably priced.

The city of Sparks building department signed off on my RV garage project with no issues.

I would highly recommend!
