CASWELL HERTEL SURVEYORS INC

We called 3 surveyors to get quotes on the job, and Caswell was competitive with the others, and was close by as well; we were also impressed by their demeanor on the phone.  They came out the next day to do the survey at the time we'd scheduled, and did the survey in the space of an hour or so (our lot is overgrown on one end where it abuts a piece of woods owned by Portland General Electric; this end is a little hard to get around, but it's where the original marker is).  Two days later they delivered a finished map of the lot to us (rather than mail it).  They originally quoted a price of not more than $1400; the final price was $1150, well within the quote.

I contacted the company by telephone and was given quotations for the services. An appointment to do the survey was set for the day after Labor Day. The three-man crew that did the survey were very professional and answered any questions we had. Everything was completed within a week, and Mr. Hertel delivered the results to us. I've talked to the local TV reporter doing a follow-up to the flood insurance story and he was amazed at the work that was done for $600. Anyone with this sort of flood insurance problem should contact the company. They offer a very professional service at a modest cost.

Excellent. Al Hertel quickly gave me an estimate over email, and I sched a date. I got estimates from 4 survey companies and his was the best, plus he had preformed several of these surveys recently. Al showed up on time as scheduled. He was very friendly, and took time to explain the process and FEMA requirements. He took one trip to make measurements of the house, and the next day completed the survey from a known elevation. He dropped off the survey results / elevation certificate in person, and explained the results. I'll use him again if needed and recommend to others.

Everything went according to plan - billing came in 15% under initial estimate. Estimate was lower than competitive bids. Surveyor worked closely with me to help me submit necessary documents to the county for the property line readjustment. Work was all done professionally and on schedule.
