David Laird Associates were prompt and did everything as promised, including marking all of the property line points with highly visible markers. They even reviewed the survey with us in person allowing us to ask questions. What a bunch of great and knowledgeable people! Would hire them again!

David Laird and the staff at David Laird associates have provided us surveys on two different occasions. It could not have been more of a pleasure working with these folks. They made us feel like we were priority customers. Always on time, they were courteous and professional going out of there way to accommodate our needs. They used state of the art survey equipment providing us our surveys at a good price with little wait time. David Laird Associates receives our highest recommendation.

Everything that I would have to say about Laird is top notch. A high caliber organization the whole way through - every person you talk to and work with. They have been a great partner for our various projects at Grace Church and for me personally.

It was a pleasure working with David Laird Assoc. From start to finish they made my survey a seamless process. I asked for specific things to be done, and they followed through with them above and beyond. It was very much appreciated. Jennifer was very friendly and helpful and all questions were answered quickly and professionally. I would definitely use them again.

If you need surveying work done in the Erie County area, I highly recommend David Laird Associates. They were great to work with, and they completed the work quickly. I found them to be priced competitively with others who I contacted for quotes. The excellent customer service sold me.

I highly recommend Laird surveyors, from the very beginning they were most helpful and very professional. I spoke to Jennifer several times and she went out of her way to accommodate my needs. The surveyors were very friendly and professional, they took the time to explain everything to me.

I hired Laird Surveying recently to identify a shared property line for my mother's property in Millcreek. We were very happy with the process/communication from both office and field staff, especially since I was doing so from out of town and not able to be there on the ground. Laird was very accommodating and responsive to my questions (and patient with my learning curve!).

They also did their best to stick with the original quote even though, I know that they spent additional time completing the survey beyond what they estimated. I absolutely recommend Laird & Associates.

We consulted with Laird Surveying after multiple contractor recommendations. John made the process seamless. We were impressed with the timeline of the project completion and prompt communication. He provided an explanation of all of the details regarding house placement, grading requirements, limitations for the land etc. He gave us many options, listened to our wants/needs, and came up with a plan that worked well for us. John went above and beyond to help us develop an optimal plan for our future building project. We would use him for additional projects in the future without hesitation!

My firm was expanding our business into Northwestern Pennsylvania and this firm was recommended to us by the local attorney handling our closing on three commercial properties.

Laird Associates assisted us in the preparation of the ALTA surveys needed for our closings, and also suggested improvements to our preliminary site plans that saved us a considerable amount of money developing the site. The response time and personal attention we were extended during the course of our projects development was greatly appreciated. I would recommend them in the future.
