We had an excellent experience with Fabio. He came out when he said he would and helped us replace and adjust sprinkler heads. He helped up with sprinklers that would help water my garden as well as lawn. He was honest, courteous, and hard working. Very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: He replaced, capped, and adjusted sprinkler heads along with setting up timer for watering.

Unbelievably impressed. Fabio is a true expert at his craft. Great customer service (on-time, worked hard to get it done quickly) and the system works beautifully. Thanks to his recommendation, we also have our garden irrigated with a drip system - something I never would have thought of! He even went above and beyond and helped us by repositioning our electric dog fence at no charge (this had nothing to do with the irrigation installation - we had placed it too close to the house). Thank you Fabio - anything irrigation related - we'll sing your praises.

Provider paid a visit prior to the installation to check the water pressure and decide how many heads per zone would be appropriate, and also surveyed the property and discussed with us where to place the sprinkler heads for maximum effect. He spent several hours planning this and was very thorough. After the plumber had done his installation, Boston Irrigation returned with 2 helpers, and did the installation over two days. He was very competent thorough, obliging and pleasant. He explained the system to us, and also returned several days later to add an additional head ( free of charge) to water a rather inaccessible area alongside a fence. We are very happy with his work, and highly recommend him.. We would definitely work with him again. We had no problems concerns or complaints of any kind. Excellent experience!

Service was punctual and professional. Difficult to schedule appointment. 5 sprinkler heads were replaced Received invoice 8 weeks after the work was completed for $250. No discussion of additional charges at the time of service. I expected additional charges to replace the heads but there was no communication at the time of service. Insisted additional heads needed replacement besides one you could see visibly leaking. Communicate additional cost upfront. Feels too much like bait and switch. Hunter 4" rotor head is $11.95 at Home Depot. Boston Irrigation charges $35. 300% mark-up is excessive Reasonable labor rate of $65 per hour It's Boston Irrigation's loss though because I was actually planning on calling him this week for additional zones & my neighbor wass looking for recommendations as well.

Response from Boston Irrigation
Hi( members name removed), I apologize for the invoice getting sent out so late, we had issues with our mailing, and had to resend the majority of our invoices. We were under the impression that you authorized for everything that was broken, to be repaired. We did not charge you for the time we spent trying to find the valve in your front yard that you wanted checked out. As far as the price of heads go, we to keep our prices low, in comparison to other companies. Many companies charge $40-$55 per head. We don't buy our parts from Home Depot, but from an Irrigation Supply Store. When a homeowner buys parts from Home Depot, all you are getting is the part. You have to install it yourself, and it does not come with a warrantee. If within the next year, one of the 5 heads we just replaced breaks, we will come and replace it as part of our warrantee. In the case that any of those heads break, please call us and we will come fix it for you under our warrantee. If you feel like you paid more than you should have, give us a call at 508-561-3574, and we will take care of your winterization on us. Thank You.

I received excellent service. I could not have asked for anything better, he found a couple more things wrong with my system while he was here and used the rest of the hour to fix those problems. I will be using them for my future service on my system.
Description of Work: I purchased a deal for $59 for One Hour of Irrigation Service to have them put my sprinklers that had come out of the ground back in the ground.

Went fine the second time. Had to call off the appointment the first time, as he was running about an hour late. I think he ran into bad traffic. His office staff was excellent in rescheduling.
Description of Work: Inspected the sprinkler zones. Fixed one leak, missed one, adjusted two sprinkler heads to be a little deeper in the ground and planned disconnected one sprinkler head. Efficient at his work and of course knows his job well. The inspection is really a charge for the visit to your home, the real money is the time spent in fixing any issues. He accounts for his time accurately and charges you appropriately.

To start, the gentleman said that he would be there 9-11am but did not show up until 12:30p (impacted my work day) He was only there for about 30 minutes and rushed around. He turned on one head at a time, flagged all of the sprinkler-heads, gave me a total number of ones that were broken or leaking and quoted a price for replacement. Then he took back all of his flags. (The quoted price was ~$30 per head for parts and then labor for the actual replacement. We found replacement heads at Home Depot for about $10-15. We decided to do it ourselves. ) He noted some dead areas of grass but said that if we had him do the repairs then he could tell us if there were any layout problems with our system. Finally, he reviewed the settings on the system. He did not show the programming to us or tell us what he was doing. Now our program is all messed up with the sprinklers running throughout mid-day. We've had to shut down the system until we can figure out how to reprogram it correctly. Luckily, we didn't get a citation for running the sprinklers during the water ban. Overall impression: not helpful at all. Seemed more like a job lead generator to help him build more business. Very rushed and didn't explain anything. It was really just a bit of a diagnostic check- not really any tune up.
Description of Work: We have a new house that came with a sprinkler system so we bough the Angies List Comprehensive sprinkler tune-up special deal: $59 comprehensive sprinkler tune-up (for up to eight zones) Deal includes checking for line leaks, dry areas, broken sprinkler heads, cleaning and adjusting clogged nozzles Deal also includes setting controller for proper watering time and duration An additional fee will be charged for any additional zones requiring tune-up

Hello, I am sorry if you got the impression that it was "a job lead generator", as that is definitely not our intention. The spring system start up, is a diagnostic for your system to let you know where it stands after it has been shut down for the winter. If you had called us to inform us about the controller settings, we would have come back out to fix it for no charge, as it is covered under our service guarantee. If you are interested in this, please contact us so we can help you. Thank You

I called about an hour before the appointment to confirm but got no response. I took time off from work to wait for them and they never showed up. They called an hour and a half after the end of the time frame they were supposed to have arrived within and told me they'd have to re-schedule. I told them I wasn't available then.

We had not received any communication from you confirming your appointment prior to the start of our business day. We cannot put a customer into our daily schedule, that we print off at 4:30am each morning, if we have not heard back from them. We tried multiple times before that day to contact you, and multiple times after to try and work with you, but you never responded to our messages or calls. It is against our policy to arrive at a customer's house if we have not talked to them first.
