Patrick squeezed us in during a challenging week where we had snow and ice throughout the area and work was backed up with pretty much every surveyor in the region.  He charged us an extra $200 to work it into the schedule that week, but it was worth it to get us out of a bind due to some deadlines we had.  Communication throughout the process was spotty, but was to be expected as he was busy on job sites throughout the day.  It never took more than a couple text messages to get a reply and and an update.  And keep in mind that this wasn't a standard job where you schedule it way in advance and they show up to do the work.  he was having to work us in with existing jobs plus deal with snow/ice delays throughout the week.  Given all the challenges we were very happy with the result.  Once he made it out to do the survey, he communicated the survey findings by phone that same day and had our electronic documents within a day and the final paper documents arrived in the mail about a week later.

Job took several hours over a two day period. They checked and re-checked all measurements, were thorough and professional and stayed until the job was done.

Patrick has been a joy to work with. He was pleasant on the phone and gave us plenty of advice long before we even agreed to do any work with him. We are looking at purchasing 10 acres of land in Monroe and Patrick pulled up the parcel # and filled us in on some issues we weren't even aware of at the time. When we finally were ready to have the property surveyed, Patrick worked us in quickly and got the job done in about a week. He found the corners, marked the boundaries and the easement going to the property which was about 1/3 of a mile, and mapped the items on the property including the long gravel driveway going to the property.
The whole process makes me wish I was buying 10 more properties so I could keep using him as my surveyor.

Patrick worked me into his schedule and around the rain and came out Monday, November 18. He did the new survey, staked out the corners of my lot, and showed me the rebar markers which were buried 3 or 4 inches deep. He staked along the property lines and staked out the area where I could properly locate my shed. He patiently explained what I needed to know. He told me he had a few more surveys to do outside. He emailed me a pdf of my new survey after 5 pm November 26, the day before Thanksgiving. I received several large copies of my new accurate Survey #3 in the mail a few days later. I now have an updated permit (no extra charge) & my shed will be moved into the correct spot tomorrow!

I cannot say enough great things about Patrick and his crew.  We found ourselves in a pinch after a neighbor decided to dispute the property line just before work was to begin on a detached garage - Patrick and his crew took my call, super professional, promised to come out the next day and do one property line to help settle the dispute.
They arrive exactly when they said - and it was essentially out of his schedule I might add.  They set up, explained everything they were doing and how and provided not only the property line set for the area in question, but validated my building corners were properly in the setbacks.  My property is 4 acres - it's wooded and tough terrain - they didn't flinch.
Excellent service, great personable and professional people - will certainly be recommending them and using them again

I called Pat and immediately he was able to schedule a time to come out and survey my residential property lines within the same week.  He along with another worker did a thorough job in surveying the property.  We actually discovered that both of my neighbors' fences were on my property!  One was about 4 - 5 feet on my land and the other about half a foot.  Both of these fences were built about 7 years prior to my purchase of my current property, so there was probably no land survey done when constructed.  The price I paid did not include maps, but I think it sufficed for my purposes of constructing a new, accurate fence.  If you are building a fence or physical barrier of any type around your property, please give these guys a call!  They will do you right!  It's worth every penny.

Patrick and Clint were friendly and approachable. Answered all my questions. They were VERY thorough and checked everything. I have already recommended them to a neighbor. Also I needed them in a rush situation and they made it happen.

Used McMurray twice.  Great job and responsive.  Professional and reasonably priced.

My husband and I needed to have a survey performed on a parcel of land we owned in order to provide a copy to the couple purchasing the land from us.  After a search on Angie's List I found McMurray's and contacted him about getting a quote.  His quote was very reasonable and we scheduled a time for him to do the survey.







Less than a week later the survey was done, stakes in place, with four stamped paper copies made available to me by mail.  Patrick was a pleasure to work with and should I ever need surveying work done in the future I will definitely be contacting him!

I bought this property as a foreclosure and was not provided a plat diagram. Patrick provided precisely what I needed. He surveyed the property and pointed out all the significant points and flagged these for my convenience. He was very thorough in calibrating his instruments and reconfirming all the reference points. He showed me how he was able to locate a point to within 6/1000th of a foot and then confirm this using alternative reference points and alternative calculations.
After locating all the significant points, Patrick developed a scale diagram appropriately labeled.
Patrick enjoys his work and was glad to explain his equipment and methods as he precisely marked and recorded all the significant points.
I would certainly use him again and would recommend him to anyone who might need a land survey.

Went great! Patrick did what he said would do. Very personable and enjoys what he does. Highly recommended

I called Patrick and explained my requirements; we didn't need a full survey, just clarification of boundary lines. He seemed very knowledgeable and professional, and was able to go out the next day, as we were on a tight time constraint. We were very happy with him, it was money well spent!

We contacted Mr. McMurray on a Tuesday about surveying our property.  We needed the survey done quickly as we were having an invisible fence installed and the houses near us were undergoing renovation.  Mr. McMurray was occupied all day with other jobs,but agreed to come after his workday.  He arrived after 5pm when his scheduled jobs were complete and agreed to perform the work despite the late hour.  He was accurate, patient and very professional.  He encouraged us to walk the property with him and he advised us about the details of the fence we planned to have installed as it pertained to our property layout and features. He was courteous and patient and showed us everything we needed to know to ensure we get the best outcome when our invisible fence was installed.  He charged us a reasonable price despite having to rush over to our house.

The owner worked hard setting new stakes

Patrick responded quickly to the request and followed up after the job was finished. He contacted the individual who will install the fence. He was very professional.

Fantastic!
He spent more time than he estimated and did not charge more. Patrick?s business is about 30 miles away from my home however the price was the best I could find.  When he told me the corner stake was off by .002 inches, I new I had the right person.  His transit followed a prism pole he carried that told him exactly where the line was.  The builder adjacent to me was going to clear the lot from line to line, and told me he would leave no trees and no buffer, not concerned about my line at all.  My conversation got his attention and he had a surveyor out the next day. I told him I would survey regardless.  Patrick?s unit placed the point for my stake exactly on top of the other surveyor, the builder did not tell me he would survey it at all, the other crew had three people and were yelling "can you see me".
It went as good as you could ask for, a friendly professional man I would trust to go to my home when I was not there.  I worked in surveying at one point in my life long ago prior to such sophisticated equipment.  His transit automatically turned 360 degrees and followed a prism pole he placed over the line where the pole guided him to.  It was amazing to see. It went as good as you could ask for, a friendly professional man I would trust to go to my home when I was not there.  
Sorry, I run Internet Explorer 11 and it had a little difficulty - you need to go to tools, and turn on compatability view for this site and it works fine after that.
 

Very punctual and professional.  Explained everything to us and walked the lot and described necessary setbacks for building.  Had done his research at the County offices prior to the the job, which made the experience very efficient.

I am from Michigan and the property we purchased is in Fort Mill, SC.  I called McMurray Land Surveying and Patrick McMurray was able to accommodate our somewhat short notice.  He was friendly and professional.

Mr. McMurray showed up right on time. Knew his business. Very friendly and didn't mind me watching and occationally asking a question. Even did the work in a light rain. Had modern high tech equipment that once the base parameters were set in took only minutes to establish all the specific points I needed. Found the old irons that confirmed he knew his job. Planning on re-building a retaining wall. The survey confirmed that I had about 3 extra feet to play with for the wall. Has coupon on Angie's List, use it, I forgot.
