Great company with great people. Al and his team are very competent, responsive, and know exactly what I need for my project. Have already referred to friends.” – Paul C.

North Shore was great! We needed a survey of our home and called them to discuss. Pricing was very reasonable; they discussed our needs with us and then scheduled a survey. The surveyors came out on the date agreed to, did their work, and left.

Thank you again and we will highly recommend you to anyone searching for your services!” – Debra J.

We contacted North Shore Engineering to do a property survey of our home. The office staff was friendly and responsive. They provided us with a description of the work they would do, when they could do it, and quoted us a competitive price. The entire process went smoothly as planned.

The crew was hard working, personable and candid. They answered our questions and did everything we had asked for. If you are in need of surveying services we highly recommend North Shore Engineering.” – Diane Z.
