Keith provided a 2-part proposal: 1) To provide the elevation certificate and 2) To prepare and submit a request for a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to FEMA if his survey data showed it would be successful. After his survey for the elevation certificate, Keith let us know his survey showed that our house qualified for a LOMA. So we hired him for that too. FEMA did approved the LOMA and now considers our house out of the AE flood zone. We would recommend him.

Keith was able to conduct a survey and got me the report all within the space of 2 weeks and at a reasonable price. He was professional and helpful and did a great job of explaining what documentation I needed and how the situation happened in the first place. For those wondering, GIS actually stands for "Get It Surveyed".

I did not know Pedro was to start digging at 8am on 12/13/2025 (Saturday) until PG&E came to mark the gas line around noon on 12/11/2025! Worse yet, my neighbor Pedro encroached on my property when marking the property line by himself! It was somewhat obvious because a few other neighbors noticed things did not look right, and brought the issue to my attention in time! Yet when I talked to Pedro, he brushed me aside and refused to pay for a survey! In a situation like this, Bob from Apex was an answer to my prayer. He was extremely professional, capable, and kind. He came out right away to check the property line w/o being paid, and advised my neighbor Pedro on where the correct property line should be. It turns out Pedro's marks were about 2 feet into my property ! Bob left my neighbor Pedro to mark the property line and the situation is still unresolved. Yet I'd like to thank Bob for his help. He is amazing and my hero!

When I went to check the breaker as instructed by PG&E, the lightbulbs in the basement had been removed and it was pitch black. While I was trying to flip my breaker on, my back was turned and Ty Harris (who doesn't live in my building) came up from behind me and physically assaulted me. He hit me, threw me into a concrete wall, put his hands all over my body ripping at my skin, and chased me up a flight of stairs... I was bleeding from multiple areas. This is a premeditated assault. Violence.. There has been no apology from structure properties, no explanation for his behavior. Why do I have to explain to human adults that unlawful violence is bad?
