What you're actually buying.

A boundary survey answers one critical question: where does your property legally end? We research your deed and filed maps, then conduct onsite fieldwork to measure the precise dimensions of your lot.

When we finish, you receive a crystal-clear drawing of your exact property lines—providing a definitive legal document that a fence contractor, a title company, and a neighbor can all point to and agree on.

When you need it

Five reasons people order a boundary survey.

01

Buying a property

Most lenders and title companies require a current survey on file before they will clear a file for closing.

Common
02

Building a fence, shed, addition, or pool

Knowing the exact location of your property line keeps your new structure from encroaching on to your neighbor and assures you are within the setback the town may require.

Common
03

Selling your home

A clean, clear survey keeps your closing on schedule the moment the buyer’s lender demands official proof of the property lines. Avoid last-minute closing delays with a certified map that leaves zero room for underwriter doubt.

Time-sensitive
04

A line dispute with a neighbor

A signed and sealed survey settles where the property line actually runs, with an option for corner markers to bet set so both sides can see.

Common
05

Subdividing or filing with the town

The municipality needs an accurate survey before it will review a subdivision or issue a permit.

What you receive

Everything that comes with a boundary survey from ELS.

  1. 1A color survey drawing with line weights and a legend you can read without a translator.

  3. 3Direct delivery to your title company or attorney, sent straight to the file.
  4. 4Revisions within one business day on any open item before closing.
Why ELS

Color on the page, follow-up on the file.

Every boundary survey from ELS is delivered in vibrant, high-resolution color, using distinct line weights and a straightforward legend that any homeowner can easily follow. It is the exact same drawing that holds up under close scrutiny when an attorney reviews it with a client or a title officer files it for closing.

Because every single measurement comes entirely from our own dedicated crews and our own advanced equipment, our boundaries stand firm even if another firm tries to re-shoot them later.

We match that technical precision with relentless speed. When a title company needs a revision two days before a major closing, you will hear back from us that very same morning. We proactively track every open item until the survey is signed, sealed, and in the hands of the people who need it. From the field to the closing table, nothing goes silent.

Questions we hear most

Boundary survey questions, answered.

Most boundary surveys are delivered within seven business days of our site visit, weather permitting. If you have a firm closing date on the calendar, simply tell us when you request your quote—we will map out and schedule the fieldwork specifically to hit your deadline. For tighter windows, rush timelines are readily available on many residential lots to keep your deal moving.
It depends on your lender and their requirements. Many refinances ask for a current survey or a survey affidavit before closing. If your lender sends you a survey requirement, forward it to us. We will tell you exactly what they need and what it costs before you commit.
A signed and sealed boundary survey shows where the property line legally runs, based on the deeds and the physical evidence on the ground. Many disagreements settle once there is a sealed survey everyone can refer to.
Sometimes, but not always. An old survey may predate a fence, an addition, or other physical improvements, and lenders often want an up-to-date survey. Send us what you have. We will tell you whether it still holds or whether a new survey is the faster path to closing.
Lot size is one factor, along with terrain, and how complex the deed history is. A flat half-acre lot is simpler than a wooded three-acre parcel. We quote a flat fee up front, so there are no surprises after the field work is done.
