Jason came out and replaced the pump and pressure tank with a new switch. the switch cover fell off because he did not screw it on tight. After a few calls and texts he FINALLY got back with us but never came out to fix the problem. Now we are having multiple problems and the items he replaced is under warranty but he will not call us back will not text us back NOTHING!!!! We are having to spend more money for a warranty job now. He is a piece of shit and very very undependable DO NOT HIRE THIS SCAMMER!!!! HE WILL RIP YOU OFF!! I will never ever use Angi again either as they are suppose to have reliable people!! Like I said if you want to get ripped off then hire Jason!! He is worthless!!!!!!!

"it's amazing how worthless you are when it suites there agenda. I did a great job at a fair price. the called out of town for a tragedy messaged when I returned 3 months later...the switch lid wad knocked into the well by customer. not me. wish them luck, there is always a reason people have a hard time talking nice about people.."

They replaced my pressure tank and pump, then found out that wasn?t the problem. Charged us $2000 and said he would return in a couple days to troubleshoot the well but didn?t show up. He texted me and said he would contact me in a couple weeks. While we are out of water. Hired a professional well driller.
Response from J. James and Son Well Company
"Yes, I had a family death outside of the state and I had somebody call and Inform him. the issue is I told him from the beginning. It is more than likely the well that it needs to be dug up, But we chose to try the pump first.... He blames me for over charging. However it was fair priceing. I feel for him to having to drill a well. But nothing I did created that, And there was no way to know for sure until after we tried to change the pump. unless he would have allowed me to dig it up. Because it was a buried well and he did not wanna pay me to dig it up first. Which I would have preferred to do."

After 20 years my well pump failed. I called another company first. They cancelled their first appointment. When they finally came 10 days later the other company said the well pump alone could not be replaced and that I would need an entirely new system. I called Earl Snow and they came the following morning. They were able to replace the pump and restore water flow without replacing the entire system. I saved a lot of money with Earl Snow!

Jason called shortly after I requested service and said he was available to evaluate the problem Sunday at the weekday rate. He quoted $1000 to replace the water tank and manifold. It was not an emergency, so Jason agreed to replace the tank on Tuesday.

They showed up 9:30 am after explaining to them that the pressure would drop after turning switch off(which generally indicates a leak)they were dead set on changing the pump without testing the pump;had no equipment and ended up getting started pulling the pump(which is still operational) around 3 PM after going and getting parts and tools! So in my opinion they are not very professional nor are they efficient!Borderline scam outfit;I would not recommend them!paid more for them to drop a new pump in (that I found out I didn't need) than it did for what a reputable well company charged to dig a new line(which the old one had 2 leaks) which fixed my problem!!
Response from J. James and Son Well Company
"Please read and refer to previous reviews...I was not told the pressure dropped. I was told that it would pump only twenty pounds... even if I had been told that the pump would have been pulled anyway, as who would just start digging in a yard with no signs of a leak.AND a bad check valve on the pump could cause pressure drop anyways so you would start there. We did what should have been done with the information we had. I even mentioned that there could be a leak but assumed it was in the well since as he said there were no signs of water leaking in his yard."

They contacted me quickly and showed up on time. Jason and Earl were polite, competent, and efficient. And I do not think you would find a better price. Highly recommend them and would definitely use them again in the future. They even came out on a Saturday, all the way to Terre Haute, when no one in my town would even answer the phone, so that I didnâ t have to go the whole weekend without water. I think I would give it 10 stars if I could.
