I have been working with Miguel at ALTA for years with the real estate hospitality company I have…read morebeen with for 20+ years. Alta Land Survey has completed many surveys but mainly ALTA Surveys. Very often the closing of a loan is dependent on a quality Survey. ALTA over the last 10-years has responded quickly, professionally, to the needs of our schedule with quality product everytime. They have completed small jobs as well as large jobs out of town. The customer support, and experience is excellent. But most of all for me is there timely support, excellent work product, quick response to comments, and follow-up to make sure there were no issues. I cannot recommend Miguel and ALTA for any size survey for the mentioned reasons above. In addition ALTA Land Survey is VERY competitively priced compared to others in all markets of California Patrick Russell PS - Not sure of the negative reviews, but I have never received anything negative from ALTA Survey

I cannot comment on the quality of work, because I was unable to get past the front desk. My review…read moreis meant to be a commentary for the company alone to better the customer experience and not necessarily a recommendation. When I called this afternoon, the person who answered the phones asked what kind of survey I needed in which I requested a boundary survey. She immediately said that Alta was far to busy of a company to bother with boundary surveys and they were focusing only on construction surveys. My issue is not that the company is 'too busy', but in the lack of questions asked about my project-- not even a question on the address of the project. If more questions were asked she may have discovered that I happened to be needing a survey for a very large project on 4 parcels and, that could have led to the construction survey as well down the line. We never got there as I was shut down immediately and quite curtly. An additional comment would be to have a recommendation ready of a different company to refer the work to if that is not Alta's focus right now. I would have found that a very acceptable response to being busy. If either of those things had happened I would not be writing this review right and would still think about calling Alta next time I have a project.

Looking to sub-divide my lot so I spoke to Noe, he asked for address so he could give estimate…read more Didn't hear from him again for some weeks so I called and discussed verbally. He said it would be a complex process in the $20K range. Said he would send along material from the city outlining requirements. Never received. Called again, he didn't recall out previous conversation, asked for address, gave it to him again. This time estimate was for $2,900. Perhaps for different process, I don't know, I emailed him back as asked him to call to discuss and clarify but he never did. He must be very busy but not a way to run a business. My experience was the complete opposite of five star rating I've read for him on yelp.

Did not provide constructible plans and calcs. we used…read moreAdriel and his team for our large permitted kitchen remodel which included removing a load bearing wall. unfortunately the architectural plans and calcs he provided were not constructible because he did not adequately survey our structure (plans showed a footing where there was none, and there was a load bearing beam in the house not shown on the plans). He declined to correct these errors without additional payment. Having lost trust in ARC, we sought the help of another engineer, who was great and was able to correct these errors so construction could proceed. Sadly the whole ordeal caused months of delay, during which time we couldn't live in our house.

They get back to you in a timely manner, which isn't always common in the industry. When the city requested changes they quickly got them out to us. We've done a few of these types of projects and by far ARC Engineers has been the best to work with and they are reasonably priced.

If you're looking for a great surveyor look no further!…read more Matt provided us with an amazing experience. I highly recommend working with him. Basically we had to get a survey done on our property because we were building a new home and didn't want to build into the property lines. So the city ordered us to get a property survey done. Matt provided us with a good price and went on to explain the process of what he was going to do and gave us timelines on when it can be done. Very professional and he has a great personality. Our property didn't have any monuments and Matt had to set all of those, which were very difficult. After Matt did all of this work and submitted the survey to the county. We passed our inspection from the city. I highly recommend working with Matt.

It seems like there's a real gap up here in North County and there's really no surveyors up here.

I spoke with John over the phone, and he took the time to clearly explain the nuances of property boundary surveys, material discrepancies, and how existing records and monuments factor into real-world situations. He was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on helping me understand my options rather than immediately pushing a full survey. John reviewed my parcel ahead of time, referenced existing corner records, and explained what those records mean in practical terms - including when a survey may or may not be necessary. His explanations were clear, honest, and easy to follow, especially for someone who doesn't deal with land surveys regularly.

My mistake, thinking people would not run over and pull out the survey stakes. They will and did, TWICE! That said, you will find CLS responsive and reliable. Reliable experts and thankfully not your typical introverted grouchy survey geeks! ( not referring to anyone in particular). They understand when you need it NOW, and work to get it now and right! I have had great experiences with these guys over the years and Trish of course. Trish is pleasant and handles the pressure well. I know, I applied it when we were in a real jam, and she got it arranged and DONE! Great work and continued success! No one there you wont like. Ted V. "Private" Custom home builder.
