in 2015 I purchased a lot that part of a plat. When we (my builder and I) went through the…read morepermitting process with COH, we discovered there was an error on the plat. This required that the plat be amended. I was able to find the original surveyor who after discovering the precarious position I was in saw an opportunity to gouge me on price. I was desperate to get the plat amended so I reached out to fellow brokers. I was immediately referred to Kevin Kolb of TS. Kevin put me at ease immediately. He knew the process and quoted me a reasonable price. I will say that after this conversation, I never really interacted with him again but was then passed on to his assistant Andrea. Andrea was extremely professional and PROMPTLY responded to calls and e-mails. She worked very hard to get everything in place to get our plat amended and recorded in a timely fashion with COH. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

On Dec 3, 2025, Precision Surveyors sent three employees onto a property I was selling in zip code…read more77063 to handle a survey. Those employees proceeded to act in an unprofessional manner, caught on several surveillance cameras. One employee walked around the property with what appeared to be a machete, slashing at plants and damaging them. This employee did extensive damage to a Sweet Almond Bush (difficult to get to this size in Houston - photos of the damage to be included with this review). In addition, my cameras picked up another associate in various states of undress in the front of the property exposed to the street (see screenshots). No explanation was given for any of this bizarre behavior. The name of the person on the finished survey is James P. Wolkoviak. Mike Reed of Precision Surveyors refused to confirm any of the names of the people involved in this action or any action taken against any of them. After an initial (apparently totally insincere) email "apology" Reed refused any further followup with me or my listing agent. Mike Reed and James P Wolkoviak violated their professional responsibilities and ethics, and will be reported to state licensing authorities. This firm committed willful destruction of my property while entrusted with professional duties on it, and should be sanctioned. Moreover, real estate professionals in Houston should shun these very bad actors and look to more reputable professionals for survey need. One bad egg makes everyone in the business associated with them look bad. My advice is to stay away from these horribly rotten eggs!

After my firsthand experience of #HurricaneHarvey, I thought how homes should be built in Houston…read more You definitely need good planning from the ground up. Exactly a year ago today, Houston suffered a tremendous natural disaster. No one could imagine a 54-inch rainfall could happen. Within hours, flood water kept rising from bayous and reservoir. The most frightening experience was evacuation from those flooded neighborhoods. People around the world watching us in devastation on TV and social media. We can't prevent acts by the mother nature. But we can build our life around floodplains. This is how I love modern technologies. Understanding the knowledge from FEMA and Harris County Flood Control, flood insurance became a fact of life for homeowners. My neighbor and I wanted to get elevation certificates for our flood insurance. We were recommended JAG Engineering by another neighbor in our subdivision. I first emailed them from an email address on the website. I didn't get a response (this is normal). Then, I filled a form on their website, which got me an email reply. I called the following week and got an appointment. Some neighbors said the process only takes 5 minutes. But John (owner of JAG Engineering) and his crew was there for nearly 2 and a half hours. They took time to make sure the highest accuracy. You may ask why elevation certificate is a requirement for purchasing a flood insurance. FEMA releases floodplain maps in Houston and everywhere in the country. It depends on how far away the property is from flood lines to determine the chances of getting flooded. But after Hurricane Harvey, these maps need to be updated again. It's a good thing we got our certificates. My neighbor is going to buy his flood insurance. Me on the other hand, I already got a flood insurance. I was hoping to see I could save money on my insurance. Overall, my experience at JAG Engineering was satisfying. I learned a lot from John on floodplain and history. **67th review of 2018**

Unreliable. Called them and needed a site survey within a week. John said he would call me back…read morelater that day. He did not call. I called the next day. And the next. Told him the time sensitive need for a site survey to rebuild a fence. Assured me he could do it. They came to the house and initially did not finish the survey and told my wife that because of another neighbor's fence being in the way they couldn't get it completed. (I had a fence company coming the following week.) They then cancelled coming back on Saturday to do it because they were afraid of the weather. It never rained. Bottom line, I had to rebuild the fence due to my backyard pool without the survey and hope we didn't encroach on the neighbor's property. They still insisted I pay for a survey they completed after the fence was built.

They never call back and when they were supposed to go back and resurvey the lot, they never did…read more When I called them out on it, some lady said they will reach out to me when they speak with the surveyor but of course that didn't happen. I left several messages and never got another call back. Never use this company and I do a lot of transactions as I'm a real estate investor. I'll make sure that no title company I use will ever use this company for me. Lot is located on Sandle St 77088

When the errors were later brought to David Bowden's (owner) attention, he was all talk and no action. Suffice it to say that there is absolutely no service after the sale. They'll unapologetically ask you to pay for another survey because they couldn't do the first one right. How Mr. Bowden (owner) conducts his business is a lot like the shoddy work that he delivers... very unprofessional.
