Small family business with 4 employees. Tim Altonen is the owner, head surveyor, brush cutter, courthouse researcher and main contact person. We have had successful projects from small lots to 3000+ acre subdivisions. As a small company we offer excellent one on one service which means once we're finished you'll have the surveyor who actually preformed the work answering your questions. Working out of a smaller town, Dunlap, TN, my reputation can be verified by asking nearly any county official, attorney or Realitor in the area.

Choosing the right home or commercial inspector can be difficult. Each has different qualifications, equipment, experience, reporting methods, and pricing. And unlike most professionals, you may not have the opportunity to meet me in person until after you hire me, so you must make your decision based on the information you see here on this website, and by talking to me on the phone. One thing for sure is that a home inspection requires work, a lot of work. Ultimately, a thorough inspection depends heavily on the individual inspector's own effort. If you honor me by permitting me to inspect your new home, I assure that I will give you my very best effort. This I promise you. Additional email - [email protected]

"I met with the agent after the inspection was complete. He walked me through the results explaining in depth (and in layman terms) anything that needed attention and items that he felt were exceptional. He went as far to tell me it might be a good idea to remove the diving board in the pool area because 90% of all pool injuries are a result of diving boards and/or slides and that it may result in higher insurance costs. He also explained a lot about septic systems and swimming pools that I wasn't aware of. The previous owner had an inspector come in before listing the home and fixed everything on his list. Most items my inspector found were minor and inexpensive to fix. Finding the failed connection to a bathroom drain really impressed me. The drain worked properly unless a large amount of water flowed trough it (emptying the tub). I feel he went over and above his duties and would recommend this company to anyone needing inspection services."

Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

When hiring for land surveying in Athens, verify that the surveyor is licensed by the Tennessee State Board of Examiners for Land Surveyors and carries current liability insurance. Local experience in McMinn County is crucial, as surveyors familiar with Athens' property records and terrain can navigate unique boundary challenges. Ask for references from Athens residents and confirm they use modern GPS and digital mapping tools for property surveys.

Helpful?

In Athens, most boundary surveys are completed within 1-3 weeks, but properties with dense woodland or hilly terrain may take longer. Subdivision plats or site plans often require 4-8 weeks due to additional review by the Athens Planning Department and possible courthouse research. Seasonal weather, especially heavy spring rains, can also cause delays unique to the Athens area, so discuss timing with your surveyor.

Helpful?

In Athens, unexpected land surveying costs may include additional research if property lines are unclear in county records or if legal descriptions are outdated. Resolving boundary disputes can lead to attorney fees. Surveying heavily wooded or rocky lots in Athens can increase labor and equipment costs. If your property requires a floodplain determination or environmental review, fees may be assessed by the relevant county or state agency.

Helpful?

After land surveying in Athens, protect boundary markers such as iron pins or concrete monuments, as these are recognized by the McMinn County Register of Deeds. Keep your property survey documents in a secure place for future reference. If you plan major landscaping or construction, consider a follow-up survey. Athens property owners often re-survey every 10-15 years or after significant land changes to ensure boundary accuracy.

Helpful?

In Athens, routine boundary surveys generally do not require permits, according to the Athens Planning Department. However, land surveys for new construction, subdivisions, or site development may need approval from the McMinn County Building Department or the Athens Municipal Regional Planning Commission. For projects near waterways or wetlands, consult the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation for possible environmental compliance requirements.
