Geosystems

Vince is the Geotechnical Engineer and proprietor of this business and has always been fantastic to work with. He has extensive knowledge of the Hollywood Hills area and the SM Mountain’s in general. He was referred by my agent who only sells in the hills and validated his expertise through years of working with him.
My home was built in the early 20’s and is surrounded by new homes built within the last 10 years. All of these homes have very large and high retaining walls, but my house as an exposed non-​conforming cut slope that is directly behind my home.
Naturally I had some concern as to the stability of this formation especially with the recent construction of a large, rather monolithic, 3000 sq ft plus home just above the slope and directly overlooking my home.
Vince provided a thorough written report and referenced several documents that were filed by the previous engineers with the city and provided those documents to me as well. I had a great history lesson as to the work that was done on the house and the sound engineering principals and city approvals for the previous construction works. In addition to that Vince clearly explained any risks that might be present, in addition to confidence in the stability of the bedrock, neighboring formations and the structure with respect to these.
Most importantly, I found him to be personable and easy to work with in both instances of working with him (about a year apart).
With the number of transactions occurring in this area as of late, I’m surprised there were no previous reviews — I guess my fellow neighbors are less apt to spending time on Unilocal and working hard to afford their multi-​million dollar homes.
