Jun 06, 2016 Report
I can't say enough about this company! I did not know anything about surveys other than showing property lines however I knew I needed one for the town to show our proposed project. I had contacted 4 surveyors and Dave from this company was the first to respond, and did so within a half hour of my email. Right off the bat he was incredibly informative, personable, and professional but above all he was honest in disclosing what the cost potentially may have been. Dave even did most of the leg work (literally) before being under a formal contract.

I would highly recommend this company as I know they are quick, but thorough, and some of the hardest workers I've come across. I never knew what a survey really involved but it's a lot more than reading diagrams and measuring distances.
