Chris Nelson & Associates

I use surveyors often, and in my opinion Chris Nelson & Associates is the best. His surveys are extremely accurate, his prices are reasonable, and his turnaround time is quick — especially if you have a deadline. The staff s also friendly and knowledgeable, and they go out of their way to be helpful. Highly recommend.

Called them to get a quote for a land boundary determination. Thought it would be a quick and simple job but was educated on how complex the great State of CA has made the process and how intensive the process is to determine a simple thing as property lines. I spoke to them for about 30 minutes about my boundary issue and another related issue and received some «out-​of-​the-​box» suggestions on how to approach the issues. It was nice to get 30 minutes of free advice. Something you don’t get these days.

I got the same invoice again in the mail. I ended up calling to clear it up and they were nice enough to clear it from their system. Still, if they couldn’t have taken on my work they should have told me instead of leading me on, then later forcing me to hire someone else after not responding, and then invoicing me for a project they never actually did. I shouldn’t have needed to make a phone call in the first place.

I had heard great things from different sources about Chris Nelson & Associates. A contractor on a house in my neighborhood had a «boundary line» issue with our property and needing to prove I was not encroaching, so as to avoid litigation, it was recommended by a trusted source that I contact Chris to research and survey my property. I spoke to Cia in his office who took detailed notes and when Chris called me back mere hours later, he had already done the research necessary to prove that I was not, as I was told, encroaching. Problem solved. Chris Nelson & Associates went so far above-​and-​beyond for me, they ended up saving me from a lawsuit.

Super helpful in trying to save me money on a survey. He offered for free suggestions to locate property lines and even sent me a satellite view of the property lines. Wish all business owners were this nice.

I wouldnt deal with them who knows maybe because its in Beverly Hills But I called and the lady was Short and Rude almost like she was trying to run me off the phone specially with the price its like 3xs the price as anyone else personally I would never try to even call this buisness again keep searching … They need better «Possiible» new client Customer Service … NO STARS 1 Because i had no choice

Chris is the best! As someone who is fairly unfamiliar with what is needed in a survey, Chris was there to explain it all. He went step by step with me, and made sure that I had what I needed to submit to the bank. He went above and beyond and really showed what customer service is all about. If you need a survey done, he is the man to see.

I can’t vouch for his surveying skills, but what I can say is that Chris cares about his business and puts customers first. I gave Chris a call today to see about getting the land our house sits on surveyed, because I’m trying to figure out where the boundary is between city owned parkway and my house. And even though, after hearing the price, I told Chris that I couldn’t afford it, he still went out of his way to help me out over the phone. He spent about 25 minutes on the phone with me and drilling down on satellite imagery and Google Street View (which he emailed to me with) and gave me some solid advice free of charge.
My little issue is probably not worth the cost. But if I ever need to have a survey done in Los Angeles. I know who I’m calling first.

Our family needed to conduct a boundary survey for some development we were planning. Of course we had no idea where to start with this, but we found Chris’s number and he sounded friendly enough, so we had him come out. Great guy! He was easy to work with, explained everything to us, and then got on with the work.

I have worked with many surveyors but decided to try a new one for a very important land survey project and Chris came highly recommended.
I have to say that Chris Nelson is by far the best surveyor I have ever worked with. He delivered a concise, extremely detailed Survey and was extremely professional and always there to help, even 9 months later when I had questions or adjustments. Another surveyor would not do that and would have charged me. Chris actually cares about his clients which is rare.
He went above and beyond even including details he did not have to do, but did them to make the survey as useful as possible. He even included things like landscaping and where certain outdoor furniture was placed! Every expert who looked at our Survey said it was the best one they had seen. Very professional, thoughtful and caring person to work with. Also reasonably priced which is amazing considering the work he does. Very appreciative.

I got a quote over the phone from a secretary. Never spoke to Chris Nelson. She said it would cost $ 1,800 to determine if the tree my neighbor cut down was right on our property line? No thanks!
