GERALD BLETSCH IRRIGATION

Very well. Gerry reprogrammed the panel so that everything is working now. We also had a leak in the sprinkler valve box and he repaired that, too.

BEWARE. I cannot believe I did not google reviews first. Please read Angies list and the BBB for other reviews. Bletsch did not provide a written estimate, nor a written bill after the work was done. He still has not provided a statement after several requests. It was our mistake to pay him without seeing for what he was charging us. The work was performed and does seem acceptable, but his calculations on the materials used was way off. He charged us for 30 feet of pipe at a rate of ten dollars per foot. He actually used 19 feet. He failed to mention that there is a five foot minimum charge. Even with two zones of extended pipe, he should have used only 22 feet. His verbal estimate was $65 service call and $10 foot for pipe. Seemed reasonable. I still do not know how we got to $365. As for the work, the pipe was so close to the surface that it was visible. His joke was that they love when customers dig into the pipe. I feel that i was robbed and I do not recommend Bletsch to anybody.

He was also very condescending and had inappropriate comments to my wife. I do not recommend Bletsch to anybody.

The gentleman charged $180 to "Check all three zones, adjust from front shut off.  Replaced three rotating heads in rear yard."  it took him 30 minutes time and a short commute as he was across the street at a neighbors.







Seems like a lot of money to me but he justified it indicating he 'came to do a job and did it'







Will not call again.

Bletsch Irrigation was recommend to me by Keepers of the Green lawn care.  I had some sprinklers that needed to be raised or swapped out with bigger ones.  While doing this one of the elbow connections was stripped.  I did not have any of the parts/tools needed to make this repair.  I of course could purchasing from lowes/HD but doubt I will repair enough to justify the cost.  So I called up Bletsch Irrigation and explained the situation.  Three weeks later and the bond is holding well and the lawn is looking great.

He is very personable. We feel that the cost is phenomenally low. He arrives when he is scheduled to and fixes the system that you have. He doesn't try to sell you something that you don't need.
