Michael is old school (drives an old beat up van, hand writes work orders/receipts, etc) and is one of a dying breed of true craftsmen. He is very passionate about his trade, does great work at a fair price, and is honest and reliable. I will be calling on him for all of my lawn irrigation needs.

I made an appointment with Gorman's Sprinkler for Thursday, 11 Oct at 5 pm and no one showed up and I have not heard from them at all. Very dissapointing since I took time off work to make the appointment. Am looking elsewhere. I joined Angie's List to eliminate this type of unreliability.

Work was great very professional. Missed 2 appointments since, had to go elsewhere.

I could see water seeping from the valves and some of the heads of my sprinkler system. I did some on-line and store research, after which I decided it would be best to call in a professional to take a look at the system, especially the valves. Mr. Gorman arrived within 15 minutes of the appointed time, and even called to let me know he would be few minutes late. He inspected, and then attempted to adjust the valves to stem the leaks. After several tries, he recommended replacing the valves. We discussed the replacement options, and I selected replacement valves which he had in his truck along with various pipe fittings, sprinkler heads and the like. So he grabbed his shovel and immediately went to work. Digging is always messy. But Mr Gorman was as careful as possible, and minimized the mess. He clearly knows sprinkler systems, and was able to rapidly reconfigure the manifold and install the new valves. After verifying their proper operation, he reset the lawn box over the new valves and backfilled around it. He spread the crushed stone that he had carefully removed before he started digging, and then graded it so that you could barely tell that anything had been disturbed. He then walked me around to inspect the entire sprinkler system. He gave me some excellent tips regarding the programming for my sprinkler controller, and showed me how to rapidly adjust the sprinkler heads. All-in-all, I was very pleased with Mr. Gorman. He is a highly competent sprinkler system professional who does excellent work at a good price. I highly recommend his services.

I had a sprinkler leak in my front yard. I called and left a message for Mr. Gorman on Saturday and received a call back on Monday morning, he informed me that he was in the neighborhood and would be able to stop by later in the day. I met him on my lunch break and he not only repaired the leak but also noted that we had a high level of water pressure which would allow him to combine some of our zones. He was able to reduce our amount of watering zones from 5 to 3 saving us 90 minutes of watering time a week. Mr Gorman is incredibly knowledgeable and very efficient, I would highly recommend him to anyone who has lawn irrigation needs.

I ordered Michael Gorman's services through Angie's List and received a nice coupon.

Michael Gorman (Gorman Sprinkler) did a great job. He was punctual, explained things clearly, and was easy to do business with. He completed the job well within the estimated time, and at a fair price. I was very satisfied. Michael is very good at this work. He is honest as the day is long. I will call Michael first the next time I need anything done on my lawn irrigation system.

I had been told that I needed all the valves replaced in my backyard's sprinkler system for $1,000. Gorman's came out and told me I only needed 3 sprinkler heads replaced for under $50!

Something in our control box had sprung a pretty bad leak and was gushing water. I called Michael and he did a great job of walking through the different possible causes behind the leak and roughly how much the different scenarios would cost. Even better, he was able to come by on short notice before we headed out of town for two and a half weeks, likely saving our lawn. He showed up on time, diagnosed the problem quickly, and had it fixed in less than a couple of hours. Better yet, it ended up being the best (and cheapest) of all situations. A few days after it had been fixed, I noticed that the system still had a minor leak. I called Michael about it and we arranged to have him come back out in a few days. It turns out the leak was related to the original work he performed and fixed it without any additional charge. He really stands behind his work and I would recommend him to anyone needing a high quality, reasonably priced repair. Very satisfied.

* I left a phone message on Jun 04. Michael Gorman called back the next day to set up appt. * On Jun 12, Mike and his son Daniel arrived at the promised time. They were courteous and professional. * They spent time looking at the performance of the existing sprinklers, listening to my wife's future plans for the backyard, and making suggestions about possible changes in the sprinkler setup. * They replaced a defective impulse sprinkler head in the front yard and adjusted other heads. * Mike checked all the functions of the Rainbird controller in the garage, modified the settings for optimal performance, and carefully explained to me how to program the controller -- which was not at all obvious. * Mike phoned later in the day to say that he had accidentally overcharged by $30 and would send us a check by mail. * Total charge (parts & labor) was $142. * A guy from a competing sprinkler service company had come out the week before. He gave us an estimate of $2500. He proposed to replace most of the system -- which turned out to be unnecessary. * The Gormans have low overhead compared to their competitors, e.g., drive a funky old van. Mike has >30 yrs experience, does an excellent job, and his charges are reasonable.

Great work. We will be having him come back to make the recommended changes.

I had a pvc sprinkler manifold that needed replacement along with a basket of other parts. Prompt and right on time, a cascade of sprinkler problems to correct kept him on site longer than expected. He did not charge for travel time needed to get 2 additional parts to complete the repair. Reset duration and time setting for more optimal watering. Called me back as promised that evening, as I requested he deliver other plumber contact information to me. Professional attitude, I will use him again.

It's gone great every single time he has worked on our sprinkler system.

When I first called Mr. Gorman he was very friendly and accommodating to my sprinkler emergency. I called him in the morning and he was able to come over by 3pm on the same day. Once he arrived he went right to work at finding the cause of my leak, which was a punctured line where some landscapers had pounded in some edging stakes. Once he found the leak he quickly repaired it and was more than willing to explain the sprinkler system with me and teach me a few things that would help me run it more efficiently in the future. His pricing was very fair. Mr. Gorman is a good honest man that you unfortunately don't find so much anymore in the business world. I will definitely be calling him again for service.

We had a lot of delayed maintenance on our system. They came out, dug stuff up, replaced bad heads, etc etc. Also showed me how to replace a head by myself and told me what type was good to use. Excellent guy. I recommend this group highly. We had two guys working for 4 hours each - 8 hours of labor plus lots of parts for $571. I don't think that can be beat for a quality job!

They called in advance and checked for the address and directions. Walked me through all the system, showed and explained what they were checking and how is it working. Luckily, I did not have any major problems. They started up sprinklers, checked all the zones one at a time, adjusted wherever needed and set up the timer. All the work took about 40 minutes. Also, they were very friendly with the kids. We liked the service, kids liked the guys:)))

He is really good and reliable. He is very busy but tries to fit me in. He does a good job. He doesn't charge anything extra except for the materials. He does excellent work. I wouldn't change him for anybody else.
