Applied Civil Engineering

Mike Muelrath was recommended by two parties we trusted. We had an emergency dealing with code enforcement, though it was a minor issue that would be easy for a civil engineer to deal with. Called this person who owns his small firm, he said he would get right on it and contact the county to get details. Waited several weeks with no reply. Left him a message requesting an update so we could get moving. No response for another several weeks. After two months of waiting total we again called and left a message and received no reply.
We get it if someone is too busy, but he shouldn’t have led us on. He should have told us he didn’t have time to address our project and issued some kind of communication, we like email, but that was also too much to handle for him. We suffered much more hardship as a result of attempting to engage the services of this company.
Napa County has 120 licensed civil engineers, but they are all so bad at using Internet, there are no useful resources online to sort them out. The few we’ve tried were overbooked and have tended to rip us of by over-​charging, etc. County requires working with these people, but does nothing to help find the ones who actually work.
