Description of Work: I am in the process of building a shed on my property. As part of the permit process, in Will County, three copies of a Plat of Survey are required to be submitted. Central Survey LLC, completed this task in the time promised. Two associates came out and surveyed the property and four copies to that survey were delivered approximately 4 days later. Three copies were required for the permit and I kept the forth copy for reference. It was convenient to complete most of the process on-line, including payment, which expedited the entire process. This company is courteous and professional.

Gary Demas and his crew did a terrific job. While their web site graphic says "You want it when?", they really did respond in a pretty timely fashion (1 1/2 - 2 weeks from my initial call). I asked for the more expensive "staked" survey, which clearly identifies all of my boundaries. The survey's themselves were delivered a few days after I had reviewed digital versions faxed to me. Four identical originals, with embossed seals were delivered a few days after that. Gary changed nothing additional to create and email me with another survey version that indicated my planned fencing placement. Highly recommend them. Very reasonable.
Description of Work: I needed a survey in order to obtain village permits for driveway and fencing projects. A crew of two stopped by, on more than one occasion, to do the survey and to re-check to insure that a neighbor's new drive did, indeed run onto my property. Four points were clearly marked in all corners of my property. Survey copies were mailed to me a few days later.

They gave me tons of copies of the survey. They did such a great job on the survey and they were excellent at answering all of my questions. They were able to help me resolve a dispute I had with a neighbor about property lines. They were amazing on their price. They were much cheaper then anyone else. They were also on time and even early.
Description of Work: They did a survey on my property as well as the entire block.

I spoke to Gary initially over the phone, but because doing things via e-mail is easier for me, we did most of our speaking over the internet. I explained what issues I wanted worked out, he provided suggestions and I okayed the deal. Extremely professional from start to finish.
Description of Work: I had Gary produce a topographic plat of my yard from a village benchmark.

Fine. They came when they said they would, completed the survey and mailed it to us pretty promptly. There was one area that was confusing to me and the City permits people, which caused us some time, but otherwise they did a fine job.

I called several places, and Central Survey was the only place that was able to do the survey and provide copies of the plat of survey within two weeks. Gary was very professional in explaining the services and the cost and kept to the two weeks schedule. The only complaint, if you'd call it that, is that I had to go to their office to pick up the plat of survey. However, they were flexible w/ their business hours to accommodate the pick-up.
Description of Work: Central Survey performed land survey with stakes for my residential property.
