Mr. Todd Matz was originally suggested for me to call by another survey company who said they were, at that time, scheduling 12 weeks out. When I was finally able to reach Mr. Matz, he told me he was scheduling six or seven weeks out. I asked that he put us on his schedule. Todd told me he would have to "get back to" me with a date and time. He never did. Weeks later, after I still had not heard, I made multiple calls and left messages asking for him to contact me. Finally, he did return a call, and we were able to confirm a date and time. Mr. Matz was very unprofessional when he finally came to the house. He acted as if I was a bother to ask about the process and discuss what I needed surveyed and why. Afterward, when he came in to collect, he informed me that the price for the survey did not include any form of a report of the findings. If I wanted more than the verbal findings, I would have to pay an additional $300. and he could email me. Todd became irritated that I would expect him to provide an invoice of the job, along with documentation showing where the neighbor's fence and mow strip were encroaching on our property by either 13.5 ft. as Todd said he found, or 17.5 ft. as the county had told us. The north mow strip on the neighbor's property was poured over the original corner marker stake. When I called to let Todd know that I had mailed payment, he insisted he had told me $350. Which was not what I had written down while we were talking. I sent him the additional check that same day. The topper was that we had only asked him to survey the east side of our property, then to measure the length of the north property line, as we did not have a tape measure that long. He agreed to walk the line with his "wheel" which he routinely used for the same purpose. The North line had already been surveyed before that fence was put up. Todd was not asked to survey the north, west or south sides, or to document a map of the entire property, but he still then, pinformed me, that, now, to document findings for that one line, and the length of the north line, for Franklin County, would be another $2,000! That was in addition to the $850. I had now paid him. Remember, he told me the $350. was for email documentation of his findings. When our real estate agent contacted Mr. Matz, earlier this week, she was told that he had never surveyed that property line, nor did he have any record of receiving any money from me. So... Today, I will scan the handwritten invoice I kept where Todd had documented "paid in full." So I have something to verify he DID survey that east line. I will also have to try to find his original email and a second response showing where he had only written a single paragraph, then, I will call the credit union to request their assistance in getting the old check copies for $500, $300. and for $50. as my online statements do not go back that far. This "half assed" job, which should have taken me very little time to arrange for the survey, then; confirm what was needed when he arrived, received documentation of his finding which would show the original property line and where the current fencing is over on the property we purchased and have been paying taxes and insurance on. Finally, I would have paid Todd the amount we had originally determined and provided copies to both the neighbor and the county. Now I have, and will, spend hours just trying to get that single page. The entire interaction has been so ugly. I know I have verbalized my frustration with friends. I'm afraid I would do the same with anyone who asks me. I would never recommend Todd Matz for any surveying needs. read more

I would hire this Company again. They came out and marked property lines for a house being built. Thanks Guys

Our corner survey marker was removed during construction and needed to be replaced. We called Todd Matz in the coldest days of winter between Christmas and New Year's Day, not expecting that the work would be completed until spring. He came out immediately during a family holiday time during extremely cold weather, snow, and ice, completed the survey and the corner stake replacement, then recorded it and sent a us copy. One cannot ask for better service than this. We truly appreciated it. Thank you surveyor Todd Matz. read more

Finding a surveyor to actually come look at your property line was a difficult task. I was referred to Todd Matz because every one other firm was booked out for months. Todd was friendly and upfront about the price. The weather was terrible the day he came and had to reschedule. January weather can change from clear to foggy. Next time he came by he was able to finish before it got nasty again. I paid him once the job was done. I would hire him again, in fact I will because I need the other side done. I'm thankful I was able to find help. read more

I had Matz Surveying come out and locate a property line for me so I could build a fence. They did a excellent job and for a good price. I don't usually do reviews but I wanted to tell people about this company. read more
