This is the only person you want if you're considering any type of land survey service. Bill is very dedicated to his profession and demonstrates this in his work. He was prompt, explained exactly what he would be doing and answered all our questions. Very reasonably priced. Will definitely be recommending Bill to anyone who is in need of this service.

Bill was extremely responsive, calling and emailing in response to my questions. I needed a survey done in a fairly short time frame so that I knew where my lot lines were (in order to put in a new driveway). Bill clearly marked the lines. He talked to my neighbors who were also interested in where the boundaries were. He promptly produced a map to document the line locations. He did great work!

I contacted Bill Karpen on or about May 21, 2013 and he got back to me right away. I sent him a deposit and he got to work. He got to my house and collected the data and I had the survey by the first week of June. I would hire him again. Indeed, I gave his name and number to my mother who is a real estate broker for her rolodex.
Description of Work: Surveyed my lot in the City of Milwaukee and put markers in at all four corners. He drew up a a survey map showing the property's relevant structures.

I was so happy with Bill Karpens work. He is truly a master of his craft. The survey was complete and beautiful. The addition we plan on adding was incorporated into the survey. That helped us a lot. The price was a little more than others but more than worth it. I would use Bill from now on and highly recommend him to anyone!

I contacted Bill after reading his stelllar reviews on Angie's List, and now I am leaving my own stellar review! I emailed Bill and he called me immediately - within an hour or two. I needed a survey of my yard to get a permit to put up a garden shed. I was in a bit of a hurry to get the shed up as I don't have a garage and needed a place to store things for the winter, and it was already late October. Bill emailed me a proposal, fit me into his schedule, performed the work and even drove the maps over to my house and dropped them off in person because he knew I wanted to get them quickly. He could not have been more pleasant or professional. He also gave me the right advice on how to find out about a utility pole easement; I had already made numerous phonecalls and everybody pointed to somebody else. Bill told me to check my title policy and if there were no easements listed to contact the title company. He even offered to contact them for me, but that was easy enough for me to do and I had my answer within an hour, after days of getting the runaround from everyone else! I have only positive things to say about Bill and wholeheartedly recommend his services.
Description of Work: Bill conducted a survey of my lot showing property lines and location of buildings / improvements in relation to property lines. He provided me with several copies of the map and staked the corners of my property.

I just purchased a home and was unsure of the lot lines- but needed to know so I could install a fence. THis is an acre lot - wooded and very hilly. I had trouble getting through it, but Bill did an excellent job. He showed up when he said he would and had the property lines marked prior to my deadline. THere was a bit of a concern with a previous survey, and Bill explained all the potential ramifications very well. He was professional and thorough.

We contacted Bill for an updated survey after our landscaper told us we needed a survey within one year to get a building permit.We were initially told that the surveyor who did the survey in 1987 when we purchased the house was too busy to get the update done in time for the project start date. The landscaper suggested another surveyor for $800. Bill was so honest that while he said he would be happy to help us out if needed, he strongly encouraged us to contact the original surveyor ourselves to get a quote. If we still needed him to do the survey for the deadline, his quote was half the price that we had been told by the landscaper. What an ethical, honest man!!! While we didn't need to hire him, we would recommend him to everyoen who needs a survey.

I needed to add an addition to my fence so I wanted the entire property line surveyed so that there would be no questions from my neighbors as far as the accuracy of my fence line was concerned. I called Bill to discuss the project and to give him some information on my property. He called me back shortly afterwards to give me his estimate and when he could come out to perform the service. He arrived on time and proceeded to get right to work. The project took about six hours and it even began to rain at one point in the middle of his survey, but Bill kept on working. He found property markers that I did not even know existed when I moved into my house right after construction. Bill was very quiet, polite and professional in his job. He performed the work to my full satisfaction and as promised sent me all the documentation on the survey a week later. I would highly recommend him to anyone and have done so already to some of my colleagues at work. Overall, I was very happy with the experience.

Bill was courteous, responsive, meticulous and very easy to work with. Moreover, the amount that he charged was less than half of what a competitor quoted us for the same job. I would recommend him again in a heartbeat!
Description of Work: Bill Karpen performed a survey on a fully wooded property with a very steep ravine in a short period of time. The old markers were very difficult to find, with some of them actually buried several inches below the soil surface, and others sticking up only an inch or two through dense ground cover. Bill went above and beyond the call of duty to complete the survey quickly to meet the contingencies of a home purchase.

Bill was prompt, courteous and efficient. His invoice for services was actually less than his initial quote. We were very impressed with his integrity and willingness to explain to us the procedure involved. I would definitely recommend Bill to anyone needing either a land survey or an elevation survey.

Bill was very easey to work with. He knew exactly what I needed and was prompt to provide an estimate of his services. I had a lot of questions on how surveys are conucted and Bill explained and in fact showed me how they are done. He spent two afternoons measuring, checking and cross-checking measurements to accurately gather the needed data for my survey.I also know he spent more time researching information to complete my survey. I was surprized at the amount of detail that was amassed,he is very conscientous and a true proffessional. His price was very resonable for the amount of work he put into this job. Iwas extremely satisfied.

My experience with Bill was entirely excellent. He called me back the same day and we discussed my survey request in detail. Basically, it was done in order for me to obtain a permit to replace a fence in my backyard. Bill emailed me a contract explaining the work that was to be performed and his cost for that work. I received the completed professionally done survey within the time frame we agreed. He is an extremely professional and nice man that I would highly recommend.
