"Bulldog Sprinklers strives to fully satisfy our customers, our numer one goal always. The scope of the job was more complex than the customer originally realized when they called for service. Upon repairing the irrigation system we encountered a severed 3" flexible drainage pipe. The drainage pipe was encased in cement along a walk way and a fence. We informed the customer and discussed repair options. The cost of the repairs exceeded the customers budget and they elected to decline our services further. We look forward to working with this customer in the future. Honesty, professionalism, and commitment to our customers satisfaction is paramount. Bulldog Sprinklers"
He was seemed to know his business and was polite and thoroughly worked to solve the problems.
I kept his contact information and will use his services in the future. The company handles a lot of other home issues in addition to sprinkler repair.
The helper dug for about 30 minutes, and then sat on my front curb for an hour smoking and talking on his cell phone.
I understand that he probably didn't want to be doing all of the work on his own, and was probably waiting for Chris to come back, but there was plenty of work that could have been done rather than burn time waiting. For me it was not a big issue, but I could see someone on a schedule being unhappy about that.
Chris returned at about 9am with materials minus the rock, but he had gotten cost for that. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay (by about $400 but that was totally my fault for not getting exact cost for the material before hand), and he let me know that once they were ready for that part he would go get it.
To Bulldog's credit, they never asked for any money until all of the work was complete. This is good customer service.
I let Chris know that his helper had been sitting on his hands for over an hour, and that while I didn't mind, I certainly wasn't paying for that. He assured me that it was not a problem and that he of course would not expect me to pay for that.
The work was done a bit slower than quoted, but it was done. I would not call the finished product excellent work, but it was sufficient. Chris did let me know up front that they are a sprinkler company, and generally do not do landscaping work, but since what I wanted was simple enough, they would go ahead and do it. At $75/hr for landscaping work, I would have expected a bit more thorough job (not all weeds were removed, there was a bit of trash left here and there, lots of dirt left on my deck, I had to dig up and properly seat one of the drip lines as it was leaking in the ground), but it was worth it for me to not have to do all of the work.
One thing that did irk me a bit though is that the rock we chose came in plastic bags, 27 of them. Rather than take and dispose of that, Bulldog crammed all 27 bags into my recycle can, filling it. My issue with that is that they didn't ask, or even let me know. a simple "hey we filled your recycle can with those bags" would have done it. Not a huge problem as the cans are picked up on Friday, but it did result in a pile of other recyclables sitting in my garage because I was unexpectedly unable to use my recyclable can.
Based on my experiences with the other landscapers in Fresno at this time of year, I would very much recommend Bulldog for anyone that needs sprinkler work done in any kind of reasonable time schedule. Other contractors either wanted me to wait up to two months, or just made an appointment and then never showed up.
The work was done as agreed (maybe not the most thorough job, but completed on the right day at least), and Chris kept his cost to the "high" rough estimate I had been given the day before, plus materials. Overall about what I would expect from any landscaping contractor, but unlike the others Bulldog actually delivered.
