We were in the midst of a major remodel of our home and backyard when it became apparent that we…read moreneeded an immediate assessment of the location of our backyard property line. The pool contractor suggested hiring a surveyor but he doubted I could get a rapid answer or that it would be a reasonable price. I located this company on Yelp and called them. I was immediately referred to Mike, one of their professional surveyors, who quickly assessed my issue and then promised to research the City records and call me the next morning. Not only did he call me the next morning but he found time in his schedule to visit my property that morning as well. Within an hour of arriving we had identified two buried property markers that established where my backyard property line was so pool construction could continued. In addition to the speed at which Matt delivered professional surveyor services, he was also a delightful person who taught me a lot about the job of surveying.... And yes, his prices were very reasonable and great value for the money I spent.

I worked with Mark Andrilla from this company. I can't recommend him enough, he was fantastic, I…read morewould definitely choose him again in the future if I need it. I was looking for surveyors for a neighborly fence dispute and wanted to figure out the boundary. Out of all the companies I reached out to, they were not only the fastest to reply, but also the most helpful. I probably reached out to about 8 or 9 companies, most never replied, 3 total replied one of them just replied they would get back to me after a week (they never did), the other one quoted 12k for the work and where not transparent on what the work would actually be. Mark Andrilla from Cinquini was exceptional. Not only did we have a productive phone call where he explained the options for the survey, the different types (city manager had also requested a topo survey) and about placing flags on the boundary. He walked me through the pros/cons and went the extra mile pulling the parcel descriptions I was looking at. It turns out the zillpow and google maps lot boundaries are simplified, and the actual deeds for the 2 plots describe a zig zag border, which actually aligns with what I observed. Mark suggested me to first do an informal walk through and then figure out if it was worth going the extra mile and do a survey, he explained the costs and the state requirement to submit the survey to the state, a large cost in itself. In the end, I realized the current border zig zag, though visually it looks like encroaching, is actually barely so, perhaps an inch here or there, and not the several feet I thought there was. It's odd that the boundary between only these 2 parcels is not a straight line like for most others in the subdivision, but its clear as day in both adjacent parcel descriptions. In the end, Mark saved me the cost and aggravation of the survey and put to rest my concerns. He truly puts customers needs front and center, I fully recommend him.

I purchased a piece of property in Mendocino county and I strongly suspected that my neighbor was…read moreencroaching onto my side of the parcel boundary. I called Hogan land services and they were quick to call me back and advise me of how I might easily be able to pinpoint the county boundary markers myself. But I leaned toward hiring them so I could have a professional on site to document findings and present them to my neighbor. Hogan land services delivered with five stars on every aspect of what I hired them for and what I hoped to accomplish. They were professional, polite accurate knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. On top of all that...They came in under their bid!!!!

Hogan tried to get a lawyer to threaten me and sue me for slander for using my first amendment…read morerights for writing a 100% true factual Yelp review about the deplorable "work" they did. I hired a ANTI SLAPP attorney and hoped they would sue as I would easily prevail. The business practice used on my elderly mother during covid was so unscrupulous, we considered filing suit for elder abuse, as they attempted to grossly over charge her for their mistakes and miscommunications, Eric was especially unscrupulous and totally inept at his simple job. They had the nerve to charge us for miscommunications on their end and then had their lawyer threaten us and then back down and go silent when they realized they didn't have a leg to stand on. Don't walk. Run. I laughed when I saw their 101 billboard advertising themselves as first responders. They are first responders like a vulture is a first responder to road kill. In other words, I am saying they engage in predatory business practices. If anybody else has been threatened with legal action for exposing these people please contact me and I can put you in touch with the best anti slapp attorney in northern California that already knows about these people. I am also happy to be a witness in any other legal action against this company. I have documents and emails that back up my claims here. I will testify to all facts above under oath in a court of law.
