Report
Highly recommended. We contacted Bay City Geology for a required Soils Engineering report for our home renovation/ remodel. Jonathan showed up on time with his crew, to drill and excavate the necessary core samples. They worked expeditiously and deliberately removing the required canisters of soil for their lab to later analyze. The site was cleaned and returned like they found it. Jonathan turned our project around in a few weeks (shorter than other quotes/ bids). The final report/ assessment that he delivered was very detailed, thorough, and professional. We will use, and highly recommend Bay

Jonathan is a real pleasure to work with. He completed the soil study for my renovation project in Encino in a month's time, and this was during the holidays in December/January. I just received the approval letter from the LADBS Grading Division for Jonathan/Bay City's geology report. The entire process took just two months. I give Jonathan all the credit for his top-notch service and expertise. If you are needing a soil study, I highly recommend you call Jonathan to discuss your project with him. You will immediately notice his high level of service and the pride he takes in his work

I called Jonathan a couple of years ago and he did a soil report on my property. His price was more than fair, and he is very professional and very knowledgeable. I had to call him back to stamp some architectural plans, and he did it right away. I have emailed him for information and advice in the past, and he always responds and is always willing to share his knowledge. He always remembers me too. I would recommend Jonathan to anyone who needs a geologist. Thank you!, Jonathan for all your help

Jonathan was awesome to work with! I called him to tell him about my house project and asked him what the estimated time frame was going to be and he said between 3-4 weeks. This was a life saver because another place we had talked to told us 2 months at least.
The following week Jonathan and his men came out and started taking samples from our yard. Very efficient, no nonsense, very professional guy. He got the reports to us (with a full CD) in less than a month.
I'm very happy we found him on Yelp! Highly recommend him!
Thanks Jonathan!

I found Jonathan Miller on Google and can't say enough good things about him!
He returned my call within minutes, and waited only a couple of hours after explaining my buyer's concerns about buying a house on the edge of a hill, before receiving a comprehensive quote.
Jonathan arrived at the property early and checked out both the inside and outside of the house. My buyer's detailed geologic report was ready the same day.
I found him to be pleasant and thorough, and highly recommend him to anyone wanting to know about possible geological or seismic problems with a property.
