Contacted Kevin Cooney at this firm at the insistence of Southland Custom Homes. My husband and I wanted to build a ranch home on two lots we owned. It was to be a handicap accessible home as my husband is disabled. I requested to be at the site when the work was done and after 2.5 months, nothing. So I fired Mr. Cooney by email, as he NEVER was available. He was never in the office, very frustrating. Two weeks after I fired him, Mr. Cooney went ahead and submitted a survey to Paulding County to combine the lots. There was no field work date, I never received a copy - it was sent to his business associate at Southland Homes. Mr. Cooney WAS THE ONLY HOLD up in the building process. Southland Homes then upped the price to build the home as we had not "broken ground" in the required 90 days stated in the contract. This ended our plans. We were out $3,500.00 in blueprints, perk tests and septic permits. Also the cost of the two lots. The survey Mr. Cooney submitted had the watermark of Carlton Rakestraw on it. He is the surveyor who had done the work years ago when the subdivision was first surveyed. The whole thing with Southland Engineering was a set-up, in my opinion, to extract more money from my husband and I as we were cash buyers and not using a bank for a building loan. Two year on, my husband died, I was in the process of moving when a Sheriff came to my door to serve papers. Mr. Cooney was suing me for an amount more than double what we had discussed. Everything was verbal, Mr. Cooney would not give a firm price or a written contract. In my reply to the lawsuit, I was able to produce original paperwork and emails. On the court date, Mr. Cooney did not show and I have not heard from him since. He left an insulting comment for me at the courthouse. He knew I had moved to Canton, Ga. and would be driving in for court. Truly pathetic behavior, suing a widow for work not done. I filed a formal complaint with the Engineering Licensing Board in Georgia and in 6 months they have done absolutely nothing. If you need property surveyed in Paulding or Bartow County, I would contact Carlton Rakestraw. He is a very cordial upfront person and avoid this company unless you like stress, being lied to and sued. If you do work with them, you were warned. read more

Her communication is truly exceptional! She fought for us in tough competitions, and was our rock through some difficult situations that came our way. Our first time selling a home was smooth and quick thanks to her guidance. Savy's passion for what she does and her level of dedication to her clients is highlighted through every answered question, conquered obstacle, and celebrated win. Savy went above and beyond for us and I would strongly recommend her to anyone interested in looking to buy/sell. We could not have asked for a more perfect person to be by our side on this journey.

She kept us informed every step of the way and was always available to answer questions or provide guidance when needed.

He came out personally for a full consultation and walked us through the entire process step by step. He explained exactly what needed to be done, why it was necessary, and what we could expect throughout the project. His knowledge and experience immediately gave us confidence that we were making the right decision. The quality of the work was A+. The crew showed up ready to work every day, was extremely respectful of our home, and worked incredibly hard. They communicated with us throughout the entire project, kept us informed of their progress, and always arrived when they said they would. As with many restoration projects, a few unexpected issues were discovered once work began. Instead of surprising us, Steve took the time to explain everything thoroughly, discuss our options, and answer every question we had. This is a significant investment, and knowing the owner was just a text or phone call away provided tremendous peace of mind. If you're looking for a company that values honesty, communication, and quality workmanship, I highly recommend AKME. Steve and his team exceeded our expectations, and we're extremely grateful for the care they took with our home.

The crew members that did the work were also extremely professional and competent.

He was incredibly friendly and personable, I knew I could trust him immediately. And most importantly, if there was something to be found in the home, he would be the one to find it! He was available to come out right away and had all the best tech and gear to do it! He was very knowledgeable, qualified, and backed by the best guarantees in the business. His website/customer portal and email system were very efficient and easy to navigate. I was also pleasantly surprised that he was the best priced inspector out of 6 that I received quotes from. So many companies want to nickel and dime you for everything. He's just an honest, hard-working, and caring person that truly wants to make his customers feel like family. We really appreciate him and I told my realtor she should recommend him from here on out!

He used IR scan inside the home and drone for outside of the home. In his inspection report he included TONS of information and pictures. Even though I know nothing personally about homes he was able to give me and my husband enough information to understand better- he also came out for reinspection due to certain utilities being off. He was running a $50 discount at the time which we were lucky to have, but by far for the price he beat EVERYONE and was much more relatable, fast, efficient than anyone else we had called for a quote. After speaking to him the first time I know he was the person to go with. He even was able to schedule for THE NEXT DAY for us! He walked through the home with my husband and talked him through everything as well. Would recommend him 100% to anyone else in the future! We will definitely use him again ourselves. Thank you again sir!!!
