Robert G. Miller, Forensic Construction Expert

Hack is the good word for this guy. He charged 1200. for a report he had already given to the neighbors who’s property is above and behind mine. The neighbors have been sending all the run off water from their rain gutters etc. in onto my property. End result has been their water is flooding into my home… I honestly had the feeling he was paid by them to pitch it as my problem despite the obvious fact that their concert slab, built on and above my home, is old and fraught with cracks. The rain gutters from their two story building, which is built on a hill above me, are draining out into a big puddle that collects just behind my little old wooden home. He did not recommend they do any thing about channeling this water away from my structure. All this water just sits and drains threw the old concert into the ground behind and on top of a 4 – 5 foot retaining wall that must have been built back in the 60’s. And as you know, nothing done back then was up to code for either drainage or utilized products that created a water barrier. My house is flooding!!! The fact that there were no recommendations for the above property owners to upgrade any of these issues has left me in a very difficult position. I have brought 3 contractors and engineers over to look at this issue and it is clear that his report was bias. However now my hands are tied by his supposed «expertise» the neighbors have bought hook line and sinker. He is super dishonest and unhelpful. His ‘report’ has only added to the problem. Im sorry I paid him anything, but I had hope to be in alignment with my neighbors and their logic so we could work together to solve this very bad problem. It has only made it more difficult to present the truth to them. Mr. Miller was very rude and like the people above said, the report covered things I already knew. It was only one page long. Over all I believe he ripped us all off on a much deeper level by not presenting both sides of the issue fairly and honestly. Presenting this horrible problem as only a patch job that I need to address is tragic. If nothing is done by the owners of the above property the future ramifications maybe overwhelming and as the water is not being properly drained away from my home I may very well have to get the city involved if nothing is done. Before the earth caves in on my home. For now my home is being used as a retaining wall for their patio. He made out like a bandit and was paid twice for the same lame advice and 4 pages of paper work. He said it was a conflict of interest to tell me what his recommendations for the other prop. owners where. Never the less my house is still filling up with water. This is an untrustworthy person… besides he came to the job site with a briefcase, dressed in a black business suit???

What a hack! Our HOA had hired Robert G. Miller to do an inspection on our condo building to assess damages to the roof and the overall building structure. We figured that for the hefty price of almost $ 1000 that he charged he would provide us with an in-​depth report that included solutions, as well as suggestions on how to go about with the fixes and references for the repair work. Instead, what we got was a shoddy one-​and-​a-​half-​page outline that only pointed out problems we had already known and solutions that were common sense. My gosh, we could have looked up all of that stuff on the internet. What’s more, Mr. Miller was indignant to our complaints about the lack of substantial material in his report. Rather, he touted his years of experience and high-​brow clientele. We may not be as fancy of clients as Mr. Miller is used to, but that does not give him the right to treat people condescendingly and rip them off. Regardless of how long Mr. Miller has been doing this and who his clients have been, from our experience with him, the only thing he managed to do for us was make us feel duped and cheated.
