Perfect.
Description of Work: Survey residential lot placing eight markers. On time, professional and did exactly what he said he would do. This was also the least expensive quote we received. Several other companies did not even return phone calls. Other estimates were more than double.

Description of Work: As soon as I contacted him I knew I was in good hands. He was informative, honest and extremely knowledgeable. He took the information, we scheduled an appointment and he did all the homework prior to arriving at my home so he could just get right to work. He was totally self-sufficient and efficient. He was direct and honest, the price quoted was the price charged. If I ever move and need surveying done again I will only make one call!

Description of Work: Steve performed a pro forma property survey. He did everything he said he would and his price was several hundred below another quote. He was punctual, honest and upfront about additional property markers. He even called before he went to the courthouse to research the deed to give me an "out" in case I had changed my mind. He took the time to educate me about my misconceptions on property lines. Good job. Thanks Steve!

Refer to above summary.
Description of Work: We needed property lives marked for a new home we purchased. We called Bear Gully Survey and Steve, he sole owner of the company, answered the phone the first time we called and was more than happy to assist. He seemed very professional and knowledable and gave us a quote over the phone. Steve was willing to do all the research relating to the tax records and property deeds and even obtained an extra copy for my records. Steve then came out to the residence and marked the four corners of the property in a thorough manner. He charges an extra $25.00 for additional marks but since our property was rather square, we felt we did not neeed these marks. The price was great at $375 becuase other companies wanted $575. Trust Steve and Bear Gully Survey...

Went well.
Description of Work: I believe Steve Bryant is the sole owner/operator of Bear Gully. Stephen is a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (I took the time to check the PA Department of State website to verify this). If you do the same, choose "Engineer" in the drop box, and P.L.S. in the second drop down to search. I called Steve, left a message and he returned the call quickly. Steve visited the courthouse the day before the site survey, so he was well prepared. For this price don't expect computer files and AutoCad layouts. He provided a simple and easy to read paper layout (with an embossed seal) that included the neighboring properties. He placed four thin PVC type clearly visible "flags" to mark the property corners. My only complaint is that he dated the survey as "2009" instead of "2010". Not a big deal from my point of view. I would recommend him. I've called other companies, and these services can be very expensive. Don't overpay if you are looking for something simple.

Lowest price of all the companies I contacted. They are a one man shop, so you might have trouble reaching him in the busy summer months. I called in the dead of winter and they were available next day.
Description of Work: Surveyed 1/2 acre rectangular lot for fence and installed 6 markers on property lines. He also delivered detailed plan with the survey.

Steve was very responsive from the beginning. On a Saturday afternoon, he provided an estimate based on some very general information and then was willing to come out to the property that following Tuesday to complete the survey. Steve actually called on Monday to let me know that his schedule had opened up and that he would have a chance to start on Monday instead of Tuesday. On top of that, Steve finished the work on Monday, provided a plot plan and walked the property lines with me. Giving me additional information on some additional findings. He also said he would be willing to answer any additional questions should anything come up in the near future. Steve was very personable, professional and has some solid experience as he has been doing this since the mid-80s. I would definitely recommend Bear Gully as we were able to estimate, survey and have a plot plan in under 3 days!
Description of Work: As part of initial due diligence on the eve of purchasing a new home, we had Steve come out to survey our property. He provided a plot plan so that we knew exactly where our property lines were and if anyone was encroaching on our space. Further, there was an issue with a shared driveway and we were concerned about existing easements.

I called several companies (before joining Angie's List) for estimates before having this job done. This was the first company I called and when I first spoke to Steve he told me what a property survey involved. I was impressed by him taking time to explain everything to me but wanted to talk to other people before making a decision. After talking to several others I called Steve back and hired him. He was the only one that spent time explaining things over the phone to me. He was available immediately and came when he said he would. He worked pretty much all day, in the rain, but had an equipment problem and asked if I would mind him coming back to finish the job. He came back when he said he would and worked for hours again. When he finished he gave us 3 copies of the property survey and marked everything clearly with stakes. He explained to us what the marking were. I was pretty impressed with Bear Gully and Steve and would highly recommend him to anyone out there.
Description of Work: Did a property survey for us so we can have fencing installed.

Scheduled 2 weeks in advance. Stephen, the owner, answered my questions and quoted me a price over the phone. He called the day he was going to do the research to confirm the job. On the day he was scheduled to come do the survey of the property he was 2 hours late with no call, but he knew I would be home all day so it wasn't a big deal. He introduced himself and got right to work. He spent 5 hours working and once finished, presented the maps, bill and that was it.

We dealt directly with the owner (Stephen Bryant). He came when scheduled and called to confirm the day before. He put metal stake in the ground at the four corners, along with wooden stakes and flags. He gave us three copies of our site plan. It was a professional and pleasant experience. We called another company a couple of years ago, and they quoted $725 for the job.
Description of Work: They did a boundary survey and site plan.
