We wanted to do it right and not have to worry about encroaching on our neighbors' property, so we requested a boundary survey. We found Emily and Eli to be very responsive, professional, and knowledgeable. They are also very nice! Their price was very competitive and reasonable, and they completed the project within the promised timeframe. We received a copy of the certified map promptly following the survey visit, and over all, we could not be more pleased. They were also welcoming of our questions and made sure we understood everything. Highly recommend!

Both the city and my contractor swore that this "happens sometimes" which I find unlikely for a 60-year-old building. 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 hired Kate to perform the surveying for my TIC property that I was converting to condo. She came…read moreto me on a list of surveryors that my attorney recommended as "plays nice with us and the city". She was one of 3 surveryors I got quotes from, and her price was right in the middle. I ended up choosing her b/c she is local, the owner of her domain and I'd be dealing directly with her (as opposed to a big company). She was absolutely seamless to work with. She only needed to come to our property once for measurements and it did not take long. Her paperwork was flawless and submitted on time. I was allowed to make progress payments instead of having to pay all at once up front. When I asked for various changes to the paperwork there was no problem or extra charge. If you are entering the condo conversion process in San Francisco, be advised that it is the surveyor who puts it all together in the end. You want someone who is responsible, who knows their way around the process, and who won't mess it up for you as you have a lot of money on the line and the City is VERY fickle. She was a pleasure to work with and got the job done, no fuss. Recommend. Also, she has good taste in music. :)

What sets Greg apart from other professionals is his ability to work within the complexities of our individual building and owner group. No matter the issue we faced, I always felt comfortable contacting Greg with questions and he always came through with thoughtful answers to put my mind at ease. This along with his high quality work made him an invaluable partner throughout the process. Greg is a shining star in a cottage industry full of indifference and incompetence.

When I called Bob, he informed me that he had just done a survey for a different neighbor, and that it had been complicated by monuments that had been removed over time. He used this other work to look at the survey that had been done for my neighbor and thought the results would be different if his surveyor used the same approach that he had. He volunteered to contact the other surveyor who he knew and respected to share his survey and ask about reconciling the two. The other surveyor got back in touch with him and agreed to his approach, which reduced the fence encroachment significantly. Bob did all of this without charge! I truly appreciate his integrity and knowledge in helping me even though I wasn't yet a client.

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!
