Need a surveyor? I've had bad. Trust me, you want a good one. Chase Jones is a great one. Their Portland history goes back to 1885 with R S Greenleaf, the current firm is the result of several mergers since them, but they have all the old records going back that far. Their website has a huge list of the neighborhoods, "subdivisions," they have surveyed, by their official names, what you would find on your deed. They did original work in those neighborhoods to plat out the individual lots! Today they work all over the metro area. I discovered them through a neighbor. I have hired them about a half dozen times. Their field team is fast, polite and customer oriented. They survey in any weather. They can come on short notice for surveying emergencies. What is a surveying emergency you might ask? That's when a neighbor seems intent on building something on your land, and is doing it. (Read up on adverse possession) Do not let that happen! Call the City building department immediately to get a stop work order. The chief surveyor in the office, Eric Jones, is very sharp and has a lot of information to share. They have a great CAD team for making survey drawings and even elevation contour drawings if you have a slope. They keep a copy of the drawing files and you can take an electronic copy home to print out at Oregon Blueprint and others or even add landscape planning details. For real estate transactions and some city or county filings, you need drawings and they can make them in the right professional format, and did for me. Their charges are broken down into field work, drawing work and checking work by the hour. Great land deserves great land surveyors. The value of the land can be hugely influenced by small details of the survey - these guys get the details right!

This company was hired through a third party to survey the land at Gresham Women's Shelter. I had…read morecontact mostly with Preston and I was extremely impressed with his sensitivity to the nature of the agency that it is. He made it very clear initially that he understood this was a shelter for vulnerable women and didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable with their presence, being that they were men that the clients weren't aware of. He made it known that he would answer questions for any client who had any, would take a break if that were asked of him and wanted to be as fast as possible so as not to impose. Of course, none of this was expected but it was so appreciated. They did a great job and Preston especially went above and beyond. You don't find many companies/people who are mindful in this way and it was awesome. Erika Schnidrig Assistant manager at GWS

He gave me 15 minutes of his time and some good suggestions on where to start, and even referred me to a surveyor named Dan Gilbert who works out in this area and has really low overhead and felt it would be much more cost-effective for me to contact Mr. Gilbert. I'm so impressed by his generosity and willingness to put my interests above his profit. If I ever had a major issue concerning a survey or land boundaries, I'd surely go to Statewide for help. With a staff of 30, they are serious about the business and I'm certain they possess the expertise to handle any problem.

When I called, the person I spoke to (Gene?) was incredibly informative and gave me a clear overview of what they would need to do. Within an hour they called back with an estimate that was comparable to others we received. BUT, in addition to that, they told me the name of the company that had surveyed the land division that created our property several years ago and recommended we contact them first to see if they could do it cheaper. Helpful, professional, and thoughtful! Thanks, Ferguson!

You succeeded where others failed and gave me peace with an ongoing, very agonizing, property dispute that caused me years of grief!

The Good and the Bad. Mostly Bad…read more I give 1 star because Yelp won't allow a lower rating. And also for averaging with the little good: The foreman who worked my project, Fernando, was the only person I spoke to, beginning to end who seemed interested in doing anything other than making a sale (front end) and doing as little as possible (Warranty Team). Fernando was invested in keeping me updated, left a clean worksite each night, was kind to his team. He was a pleasure to work with. The rest of the company seems like a nepo organization, starting with the least knowledgeable and trustworthy sales team I've encountered in years. However, I was in need of a security fence ASAP and ultimately was sold because of the timeline, the quality of the fence itself, 0% APR for financing, and the "warranty." Unfortunately, I found out within one day of the project completion that the Warranty Team would be the worst at Cool Cat yet. Negative Stars: One of the locks was put on backward (meaning someone could unscrew the mounting from the outside). Further, because of the direction and function of the lock, it remained locked on the outside when the inside lock was disengaged. This is a significant fire and safety risk if the only way out of my yard is through that gate or somehow over the 6 foot fence. I contacted Dan the morning after the project closed to apprise them (7/30) and I didn't get a response until 8/3. I got the Warranty Manager's number (Joe) and communicated with him. Artur and some other unfriendly person came on 8/7 to fix. I checked in multiple times and when they were finished, I asked about the multiple drilled holes that were now exposed and tape instead of a cap on one of the rails. He said he didn't have anything to fix it with him today and I asked him to come back and fix it. That was one month ago. My $27k fence has eye sores all over the gate and now with the rain setting in, the exposed metal is showing the beginnings of rust. And I have not heard back from anyone. WORST COMPANY EVER. DO NOT RECOMMEND!
