John Abagis & Associates

I am constantly sharing with others the outstanding work of Abagis Associates. First, I learned how important it is to get your property surveyed professionally. I was surprised to see where the actual lot lines were - in comparison to the very general mortgage map that came with the house. Also, In comparison to other surveyors the prices were extremely fair. However, it is John Abagis's strong work ethic and dedicated customer service that really sets this company apart. My property needed quite a bit of research done, which John did with a fine tooth comb. His work is meticulous -- and regardless that the work entailed much more time and effort than anticipated due to unexpected challenges -- he stuck to his original price estimate. John Abagis has done two jobs for me. He was easy to reach, able to provide me the date availability I needed - and has been kind enough to answer numerous questions I've had since the work was completed. -- I could not recommend Abagis Associates more highly.

He was top-notch. The guy was unbelievable. He was amazing and was a really good guy. He was really sincere. He was professional, polite and very thorough. I had no prior experience, but I was told that the price was just about on-point.

Went great. John was on top of it not long after I signed the contract. Probably 6 weeks total from contract to initial study to property walk-through. On the walk he explained everything and also provided me with some good advice to some questions and concerns I had. The actual survey documents he provided to me were very highly detailed and well executed. He is also very easy to work with and promptly returned any calls I had made to him.

John was fantastic. He communicated well throughout the process. Set expectations and then exceeded on delivery of service. I highly recommend John Abagis and Associates

Terrific service. Timely, professional, clearly explained the process and options. I definitely recommend John Abagis and Associates.

I needed a survey of our residential lot boundaries in anticipation of future construction on a recently sold adjoining lot.  I chose Mr. Abagis, in part because of his Angie's list profile, and in part because of his courteous, thoughtful manner on the telephone, and his helpful suggestions.
Mr. Abagis arrived punctually, and personally attended to all work we had discussed.  He was courteous and efficient.  He answered all my questions.  His fee was reasonable.
I was very pleased with Mr. Abagis' services.  I would definitely use him again if the occasion should arise.

We were extending our driveway and provider kindly offered to do this for 1/2 the cost of a full survey.  This allowed us to use $ towards driveway permit, asphalt company and sprinkler repair which was still to come.  He was professional, timely and easy to work with.  In the end, weather does need to be accommodating. We arranged a convenient time to walk the staked lot line and he answered all questions.  Happy customer.  Thank you.

John Abagis was a very helpful surveyor.  He responded in a timely manner.  He scheduled us for a survey right away.  But the more important factors were the "little things".  He gave us numerous certified copies of our plot.  Later, we needed additional work done on the survey. He gave us good advice on how to get  the work done in the most cost-effective way.  I highly recommend his services.

I was very impressed that John Abagis contacted me on the day that I left an inquiry, having checked my property from the Registry of Deeds Land Court before calling. He explained the survey process, provided the cost, and promptly sent me a letter of authorization.  He let me know that he was booked for several weeks and gave me an approximate time frame to come to my house. He came within the stated time frame, was very professional, and took the time to answer all my questions. He marked and staked the property lines, and walked me through it when he finished. I highly recommend John Abagis & Associates and will not hesitate to pass his name on to others.

From my first call to our last email, John has been prompt and thorough. Smooth sailing throughout. And he got the job done a month sooner than promised.

John was able to come out to our property sooner then he initially estimated to finish the survey and was very easy to work with.

He was just fantastic to work with, we highly recommend him.

Based on our reviews, we only called John and he was prompt in getting back to us about surveying our property to prepare for a new fence.  It was very staightforward and painless.  We agreed upon a date about three weeks out from the time we inquired, and John showed up on time to stake out the property.  He walked the property with us and answered questions that we had about our property lines.  We didn't call anyone else to check prices, but based on what we saw on Angie's List, what we spent seemed fair.

Apparently there was a misunderstanding in regard to the date of service. I called the company on 10/1/12 afternoon, which I assumed it was the date of service. John Abagis himself answered the call and agreed to perform the service the same afternoon. He completed the job before dark and  I was very pleased with the service.

John was quick and responsive in providing a quote for the job.  He was able to do the job within the time frame I needed it.  
He came out once to take a look at the property and take preliminary measurements.  When he returned on his second visit, he thoroughly surveyed and staked out the very complicated boundaries on my property.   He even went into deep, thorny, and tick-filled  brush at the very back of my property to mark the boundary there (which I did not expect of him).  Between both visits, he spent many hours on the property.  He  really earned his fee, plus some.  He was very friendly and I highly recommend him!

I initially e-mailed John, who called me within 24 hours.  He had done research on my property prior to calling me back, knew my address, and familiar with the area.  He provided a price quote over the phone, then called back about an hour later to let me know he did more research and found another surveyed plot in my neighborhood which he was able to work from, and actually reduced the quoted price.
He came out twice, and the second time staked out the plot lines.  While I was not able to make it home for the second visit, my wife was and he walked her around the staked out lines and showed her the plot lines.  
Overall, great experience, and I would use him again in the future if needed.  Very personable, fair price (done for the originally quoted price) and the work was performed promptly.  

It went better then ever

I contacted John via email about surveying our property.  He responded right away and and answered all of my questions.  He looked up some basic information about my property and was quickly able to provide a quote for the work.  Once engaged, he did all of the background research and then about a week later he called and indicated that he was ready to stake out the property lines.  We scheduled the stake out so he could also walk us around the property lines when he was done.  John showed up on time and staked out the property.  He then walked me around the property lines and explained the details.  I had a few follow up questions (what was the exact size of the property in acres?, etc.) which he was able to answer.  He was very professional.  Overall, we were very happy with his services and would recommend him for any type of surveying work.

The job went well.
John came over and completed the job promptly and professionally

This was a positive experience from start to finish. I sent John Abagis an e-mail inquiring about his surveying services at 11 p.m. and by 7:55 the next morning, I had a response, including the information that he had already looked up my deed. He was extremely pleasant on the phone, answering all of my questions directly and in detail. His initial estimate, before seeing my property, was the final fee that was charged. Whereas another surveyor had said that there might be some additional fees for unforeseen findings, John made it clear that whatever he found and however much time the job took, the fee he quoted was the final one. John answered all calls promptly and showed up at the pre-arranged times. He was friendly, courteous and professional and I would gladly use his services again in the future and recommend him highly to others.

We got bids from several surveyors for our property in Newton. John's was the most straightforward and reasonable bid. He was very thoughtful in contacting the city first to be clear on what would be required and he spoke with our architect for the same purpose. He was very prompt in completing the services and was very professional. We will work with John again to add our addition to the survey and to stake the property in the spring.

We found John through Angie's list. Right on the first call he struck us as an extremely courteous, straightforward professional. He provided a fixed quote, showed up when he said he would, did a great job, marked the property lines appropriately, and that was that! Judging by our conversations with several other surveyors we contacted, this could have been an involved and potentially costly project. John made it easy and painless. I would definitely recommend him.

I chose four "well-rated" providers from Angie's List to get quotes. John called back within a few hours, and was offered to come out and give me a quote within the week (which he did.) In our phone conversation, I described a variety of "property line" issues we were having with a neighbor. John alleviated many of my concerns just through our initial discussion because he is SO well versed in many property laws. (I am not advertising him as a lawyer by any means, but he clearly knows his business and has been doing this for a long time.) His quote came in at a very reasonable price compared to the other's I had contacted. (Aside from competitive pricing, he was by far the most professional. One of the guys I called from Angie's list -- actually with the most "votes" -- gave me the creeps. He asked for papers from our closing that no one else asked for?!) John spent about 3 1/2 hours on our property with one of his employees to do the initial survey work, then returned on another date to stake out the property. The actual staking probably took 2 hours. We were pleased with the results, and surprised to see how much more land we actually owned that we initially thought. John gets our vote -- he is professional, competitive, honest, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable.

I contacted John based upon some of the reviews on Angie's List. He lived up to everything the previous reviewers had written. He's extremely responsive (contacted me the same day.) He fit me into his schedule right away and staked and marked our property. He's very professional and a pleasure to deal with.
