Residential Surveying

Know your property lines before you build, buy, or address a boundary concern.

You are ready to put up a fence, plan an addition, or buy a home. But an existing fence or an old sketch may leave you unsure where the property boundary is.

Start with a boundary you can rely on.

Povey & Associates researches property records, locates survey markers, and measures your site to establish and document the boundary. We explain the findings so you can discuss the next step with your contractor, neighbor, or real estate team and make an informed decision.
