What Clients Say

"We needed a boundary survey before building our fence in Lakeville. Quaintance came out within a week, found all four corners, and even showed us where the old iron pins were buried. The plat map they delivered was incredibly detailed."

MK
Mike K.
Homeowner, Lakeville

"As a builder doing 20+ homes a year in the south metro, I need a surveyor I can count on. Quaintance handles our construction staking for every new build in Farmington and they have never missed a deadline or a measurement."

SR

"Our commercial ALTA survey for a 40-acre development in Apple Valley was handled flawlessly. Every Table A item was addressed, the title company accepted it without a single revision, and closing went on schedule."

FAQ

Common Questions

Residential boundary surveys in the Lakeville and south metro area typically range from $400 to $1,200 depending on lot size, terrain, and research complexity. We provide flat-rate quotes after reviewing your property details, so there are never any surprises. Call us for a free estimate specific to your parcel.
Most residential boundary surveys are completed within 5-7 business days from scheduling. ALTA/NSPS surveys and more complex projects may take 2-3 weeks. We offer rush service for time-sensitive closings and construction schedules. Field work itself usually takes just a few hours.
No, you do not need to be present. We will coordinate access in advance and notify you when field work is scheduled. After the survey is complete, we deliver the plat and walk you through the findings by phone or in person, whichever you prefer.
A boundary survey establishes property lines and sets corner monuments. An ALTA/NSPS survey is a more comprehensive product required by title companies and lenders for commercial transactions. It includes everything in a boundary survey plus easements, encroachments, zoning setbacks, flood zone classification, and other items selected from the ALTA Table A options. ALTA surveys are the gold standard for commercial real estate.
Yes. We survey year-round in Minnesota. Snow cover can actually make some surveys easier by providing better visibility of the terrain. Frozen ground allows access to areas that may be swampy or difficult in summer. Our GPS and total station equipment works in all weather conditions.
