We bought a house in Malden and wanted to get land surveyed to put up a fence. Edward came recommended from a friend who had their Stoneham property surveyed and was one of the only surveyors that was able to perform the services we needed. Everything was very straight forward—the time estimate he provided was between 4-6 weeks, but his team had everything wrapped up (stakes, markers, and plot plan) to us within 3 weeks. Everything was really easy and smooth!

Would not recommend to anyone or hire again. The owner did not do the survey. Two of his relatives did and they could not answer my questions. I felt that they did not know exactly what to do to measure the land.

Service Provider Response

I beg to differ, but I personally review every project that goes through my office. I may not personally go to every job but my guys bring their data back to me and from there I tell them what to do. Also, those my only 2 employees and have a combined 30 years of surveying experience. I calculate every plan going out of my office, to say that I did not perform the survey is just totally false. my stamp and signature are on every plan I draw.

It went very smoothly and I wish I had done it sooner. They are the most reasonably priced and I should have done it sooner. We landscaped our yard and had a hard time with the boundaries and needed the landscaper to move something they put down.

The survey process was excellent, the survey crew was prompt and professional, and the survey uncovered several surprises. The biggest surprise was learning that on one side of our property we have an easement of which we were totally unaware and which was not disclosed by the seller when we purchased the property. In fact, the prior owner indicated on the disclosure form that there were no easements and. for some reason, our attorney was either unaware of this or did not point it out. In respect to cost, Ed Farrel's price was the lowest of four companies that quoted this project, and I would highly recommend him to anyone requiring a land survey.

I bought a home last year that was surveyed by the previous home owner. They used Edward Farrell's services. Since we've been at the house, our neighbor installed a fence on what I thought was our property. I called Edward about the surveyed land and he was at the house within 5 mins to walk-through the plotting. Again, months later, I called to purchase copies of the plotting for us to complete our own fencing and he offered to send them for free! Edward has been nothing but helpful, professional and friendly since we reached out to him. I would recommend his services to anyone. If we ever need surveying services in the future, we will be sure to use him.

Ed was very responsive in a difficult, dispute-related situation. He performed the work professionally and without being intrusive. He also promptly followed up on the work when surveyor stakes were removed by an adversarial neighbor. I would highly recommend his services.

Ed was extremely professional and the price was very reasonable . Our land was properly surveyed and the plot plan was sent to us . We now had everything needed to satisfy Town hall to obtain our permit for the kitchen extension. We would highly recommended Ed Farrell
Description of Work
We wanted to extend out kitchen which meant pushing out a wall. To obtain a permit for the work Town Hall required a survey of our property . We called several companies and since the area we live in was hard to survey something with no original markers being added we could not find anyone willing to take on our project . Until we called Ed, he explained how difficult our area was and that he would be willing to take it on

First, let me say that I live in Burlington, MA where a surveyor named Douglas Forbes messed up everything in the area in the 1950's. Unfortunately, this make determining your property lines very difficult. I contacted Ed about getting a plot plan and getting the yard staked out so I can get a fence installed. Ed told me from the beginning that the area was very difficult and it would take some time a research but he wrote me a proposal anyway. I contacted another surveyor in the area who was not willing to even give me a proposal. He said that it would be a 3 phase process and just expected me to keep writing checks. Needless to say, I went with Ed Farrell. Ed finished up the survey and did a great job. I actually lost square footage, but I was prepared for that because of the terrible surveys in this area. So, I would think that it is rare to see someone so happy about about paying to lose square footage on their property. But, now I feel confident in putting up a fence without fear of placing it on the wrong property or against code in some way. Even though it took some time to get through the research and find accurate monuments in the area to use, Ed kept me appraised of where he was in the process. If I ever had any questions he got back to me quickly and professionally. I really appreciate him taking on the challenge and I am even more happy to have an accurate, certified plot plan for my home.

Ed was responsive to my request for a proposal. His cost was very competitive. He started work when he said he would and was communicative throughout the process. The results he provided indicated that a neighbor had encroached significantly on my property. Ed's results were verified by my neighbor's own property survey, performed by another vendor. I was very pleased with Ed's service and the quality of his work. It was worth every penny for me to engage his services because I was able to get my land back and I did not have any nasty surprises after I paid for a new fence.

Prior to putting a new fence in I asked Ed to provide a property survey, including performing research at City Hall and putting in stakes and capped iron rods to indicate property lines.

I needed a land survey for the addition of a garage. I highly recommend Ed Farrell to anyone looking for a land surveyor. Ed was very professional throughout the process. Every time I placed a phone call or sent an email it was answered promptly. Ed's crew came out when he said they would. I'm impressed on how quickly the survey was completed and sent out. Also, it should be noted that Ed offered the best price that I received for my particular job. I would use Ed Farrell again in the future and recommend him to family and friends.
