WL Meekins Inc Land Surveyors

I simply inquired about locating curbside / sidewal markers as we had new sidewalks put into our small community. There was a mark on the sidewalk but assume there are metal markers. Perhaps I should have just rented a metal detector. This company quoted me $1,400.00. More than double the standard industry for this simple task. Four companies quoted me average $500.00. Fortunately, we found the original survey company our title compay used in 2019 when we purchased the home in a neatly arranged binder we were given at closing. They are coming out to check and or restate for about $300 to $350, depending on how much time. There is a starter marker on our street, an official marker, so th is should be easy. I do not recomend this company. Pricing too high. I hope this honest review is not deleted. It simply is the truth. Robbi

The experience went very well. The team was early, completed the task in a timely fashion, and provided clear explanations of the work that was performed. It has served me well in my conversations about property lines with my neighbors. I appreciate the value of the job and the cost associated with it. I will use them in the future should I have any other needs of this nature.

The survey team arrived on time, worked carefully, and completed the job within about four hours. Good job.

Exceptionally well. Punctuality and professionalism were instrumental to the service being performed. Arrived on time (maybe a few minutes early) as stated. Introductions were performed professionally followed by a direct briefing of the service to be performed with an estimated time for completion. Provided a walk and talk through after the lot was surveyed, allowing for additional questions and answers on the serviced as performed. Of note, W.L. Meekins responded promptly the next day and had subsequent follow up emails concerning the services being requested. Additional companies (provided by Angie's List) failed to respond to the initial inquires, which in turn lead to the decision to hire W. L. Meekins who showed sincere concern about my initial request. I also had seen their services being performed within my neighborhood a few months ago (after recognizing their stake markers and vehicle logo), which also was a deciding factor in hiring this company. My only regret is not having the projected fence line survey done at that time. Thank you, W. L. Meekins, for your professionalism and punctuality of services performed which if you have not had a lot stakeout survey done in some years or are curious as to where your property lines lie, then W. L. Meekins Land Surveyor can show you those prospects without a doubt.

They reached out via email in a timely manner.

I have used W.L. Meekins Inc. in the past and was very happy with there prompt service and final product. I needed to update my prior House survey and emailed W.L. Meekins on a Monday. They responded quickly to my email (within hours). On Wednesday the crew came out and performed the survey. They were very professional and friendly and reasonable prices On Saturday I received my survey. Outstanding service and as before I would not hesitate to use them again and I highly recommend this company.

The receptionist was extremely helpful in setting up the appointment and providing an estimate. The surveyors arrived on time, were very polite and explained everything they were going to do. After the work was finished, they explained what they did and asked if I had any questions. In all, a very professional transaction.

Everything went great, on-time-on price, very professional.

The service was outstanding. I called them on a Monday afternoon, they were at my property the next morning to do the survey, and they emailed the site plan to me by noon on Wednesday.

Excellent. Arrived on time and proceeded very professionally and answered questions. Most other companies did not return inquiry calls but those that did could not come out for 3-4 weeks.

***! Just received a "red" letter after 1.5 week of payment due indicating they're going to put a lien on my home if payment not received for services rendered. We send payment Monday via our bank. We've not yet received our survey and we're getting red letters!!!!! I get that they want prompt payment, but to threaten us with a lien within 14 days of service is a bit harsh IMHO. Cannot say anything to the quality of their service without the merchandise we recently paid.

Everything went well until I received the survey document. This is a legal document, filed with the county. It determines the location of my property, its size, the house and shed size and location--in other words--the value of my home is affected by the accuracy of this document. Several measurements were missing. Worse, had I not noticed, and had I filed their survey with the County, it would not have shown the exterior stairwell to the basement. The County would have assumed that I had excavated through my foundation, compromising the structural integrity of the building by digging to the level of the basement floor and constructing a stairwell without a permit. To Meekins' credit, they corrected it as soon as I brought the errror to their attention. HOWEVER, they have the Surveyor's license, not me. They should not depend upon me to find their errors. I was depending upon them for accuracy and completeness.

Pat and his team were at our home promptly at 9 am and despite the wind and rain, they surveyed the entire property and included several additional property markers (which were requested). Pat was exceptionally competent and nice and he even took the time to answer the 100 questions that I had. Our experience could not have been better and the price was much lower than three other local land surveyor companies. In addition, I called on a Tuesday with a request to have the survey done as quickly as possible, and they were here two days later. We received several certified paper copies of their work within three business days of the land survey.

Excellent. They responded and answered all questions

We feel it went very well. The men who performed the job were very professional and cordial. They took their time with the work they were performing. They arrived at the time they said they would and it took them about half a day to do the work. The gentlemen in charge of the onsite work and crew team took the time to explain and show us the completed work before leaving. He showed us where poles were installed and additional markings. There was an additional cost for extra markings related to the fence, but they also accommodated several at no additional cost. We also received several signed copies of the Surveyor's Certificate which outlines the lot stakeout and house location along with copies of the payment receipt. This type of work is not our area of expertise so our advice is that you ask questions and clearly define what you need to be done on your property so that there's a mutual understanding of the work involved, and so that the company can tell you if additional costs will be involved and/or what is covered within the work they are performing. Through Angie's List, Meekins offered a 10% discount which helped bring down the original cost.

Job was done professionally, explained work performed and what to expect next. Provided writeup and drawings in the next few days as promised. Thought the cost was somewhat expensive but after comparisons of other surveyors, the cost was similar to all companies.

They were excellent people. It was expensive but they were prompt, they were very honest and came and did the job. They did a superb job. I would highly recommend them, they were very professional. They didn't over charge me or under charge me, it was in the range. I am extremely pleased with them. I would recommend them to everybody.

They were prompt in providing the proposal and preforming the work. They took the time to describe the outcome of the survey and they provided the property information afterwards.

I had an excellent experience. They were significantly less expensive then the quotes we got from two other places. One of the places we got a quote from recommended them. They're an excellent source for a homeowner who wants their property surveyed. They could not have been any better.

They were prompt to schedule, arrived on the dot, and placed a number of additional markers defining boundaries for anew fence. Very pleased with the service.

They arrived on time. They were quick and professional. The documents were emailed and mailed to me.

They were efficient. They arrived on time. They did a great job.

Company responded promptly to all of my calls and kept me informed during the entire process. They did have to reschedule due to a monsoon rainstorm but called to inform me before I took the day off so no foul. Excellent customer service and top notch work. They honored their Angie's list discount without question. No complaints, totally professional and would highly recommend.

The two surveyors arrived 45 min early on a Saturday, which I very much appreciated. They were very focused, diligent, and professional, but took the time to answer my questions. Everything went smoothly. I am very satisfied with their service and would recommend them to my friends for similar work.

Meekins was by far the least expensive estimate of the five I received. Once we decided to go with Meekins, they performed the survey quickly and sent me the plat drawing I needed pretty much right away. I was very pleased with their cost, speed and efficiency.
