I found the business phone number on Angie's List. I wanted my sprinkler control relocated from the basement to the garage. They spent about 15-20 minutes assessing the move and said piece of cake as the garage was directly above and they could see a place to drill though and mount near the outlet in the garage. I said great. I then told them I needed some sprinkler work so I showed them an area of my lawn that was not getting watered properly so asked about adding a sprinkler along the foundation of my home and moving another about three feet. My estimate was verbal at $185.00. Easy fixes all around.... They came back the following week a day later than promised. But no problem They did the outside work first. I was inside caring for my 91 year old mother. They ran the bell and told me that the wire needed for the job was out of stock. They wolud return when it becomes available. He then stated I owed him $145.00 for the two sprinkler heads. I was shocked ... the gentleman was about 6 feet tall and wide framed and said he was only charging me 20.00 to drill the hole and relocate the box. I owed him $165.00... I argued for a short moment but I did not have a written breakdown of the charges so I just gave them the money to go away. A couple weeks later My neighbor who generally waters her lawn just before day had a special treatment done to her lawn, and was watering twice a day. That is when I learned Affordable Sprinkler had tied into my neighbors sprinkler line. I deeply apologized to my neighbor. She was livid as her sod is new and she had been watering my lawn. I called and the previously very kind receptionist was now very snarly and nasty. She sent them back. The workers were angry and rude, They left a ugly hole in my neighbors sod and a pile of loose dirt on top of my sod. They even left a crimping tool and rings in the grass. I called the nasty receptionist. I spoke to a man who said his name was Bobbie and he was the supervisor. He apologized and said they did have wire and things should not have happened that way and he would get everything straightened out and call back. He never did!!!. In the mean time we got a couple good rains and low and behold the loose dirt washed away and I saw they ran the sprinkler line level with the dirt. I can see the white and blue striped hose laying in my grass. I called back and was given a repair date 2 weeks ago. I am still waiting as of today October 26, 2020. They have done nothing but been disrespectful and untruthful. They did horrible work for me. If you are a woman don't call them. UPDATE AS OF 10/28/2020: The owner replied with some horrific response that was totally untrue... here is my reply to him...... I have never been unkind or nasty to your workers or receptionist. How awful of you to disparage me in this manner. You need to repair your poor attempt. In response to my post I don't know who you are referring to but my neighbor is a woman who is quite ill and very unable to confront anyone. I am almost 70 years and a mature Christian woman who you have just slandered in print with outrageous lies. I have no idea of who you are speaking of in your response. Certainly it is not me, .or anyone on this street. I am a very mild mannered person. I have given your business every opportunity to correct your poor work. Also my sprinklers run along my foundation. Your worker made a huge error and my neighbors sprinkler IS on HER property. I have lived here 25 years and never has anyone who serviced anything at my home been so mean. I always use/support our local businesses. I will not allow you to malign, insult and grossly fabricate lies about me. I posted pictures of your shoddy work and pictures don't lie. DO NOT CALL THIS COMPANY THE RESPONSE IS A TOTAL FABRICATION OF LIES. I Thank GOD You put it in print.

Terrible! Be careful. Their workers like to go around trying to pick up side jobs while representing Affordable Sprinklers and then they take you money and run. I had this experience with Robert (Bob) [Last Name Removed]. His direct supervisor, Cliff, says he "is not worried" what his guys are doing as long as their work for Affordable Sprinklers is done. A company of thieves with no ethics!
Response from Affordable Sprinklers
"I would like to let everyone know this is a post from bob Cummings former employer and I expressed that what a employee does on his time is beyond my control and his company truck was revoked however we found no movement in his truck after work hours as our trucks are all tracked via gps but bob insisted we take away the company truck just to remove any doubts on our end. I don't think it's right a person who had no business with affordable sprinklers whatsoever is able to grade my company a F when they didn't do business with us this was a personal vendetta between him and bob and when I refused to fire bob on his word he slandered my company and gave false testimony to my answers what company owner wouldn't care if his employees were stealing work off hours"

Job was of extremely poor quality . Took many weeks too receive response and then was response was inadequate
Response from Affordable Sprinklers
"The customer asked for a sod replacement we did exactly that we removed and re-installed the sod i explained to the customer there was no estimate for grading on the receipt and told him i would gladly do the grading and would not charge to remove sod or replace the sod in the area of concern but he would need to pay for the fill dirt as we didn't charge for fill dirt as indicated on the receipt this is why his quotes to redo the job were 7000 and not 4250 as we charged for " remove and replace" the customers lawn company also scalped the sod and he wanted me to replace the sod even tho it was no error on our part i told him with the fill job i would have done that at no charge as well he asked me for a quote and told me to do the work but then said he wouldn't pay for the work so we didn't do the work"

They were pretty good and they were reasonable. I am pretty pleased with them. What I like about them is that if I don't like something that they do I have his direct phone number so I can call him or text him and he will call me right back. The cut, edge and blow is $25. They will come back and make it right if there is something I don't like.

They provided sprinkler startup. They were in great hurry, I have seven zones, they only checked six zones. When i called them right back, they came and took care of it.

Definitely the cheapest price out there.
Response from Affordable Sprinklers
"I'm terribly sorry you weren't satisfied I wish you would have called me to let me know i could have installed sod where your having a issue it might be to much water causing this issue or if it's a shaded area maybe it wasn't getting enough sun I would have reseeded at no charge if that was the case and switched to a shade mix seed hard to get a solution if I can't see the problem and had I been notified of the problem I would have personally come out I really do want 100% customer satisfaction"

We included Affordable Sprinkler in our list of companies to compare with others based on the totally positive recommendations of 2 neighbors and a 3rd one that's planning to have work done by them.The work team was componsed of Cliff (the owner) and Bob his helper.They both worked hard, were professional and were very curtious and attentive to my wants.While Cliff already had a very busy schedule, he fit me in by adding me on to the end of his days.It took 2 very late evenings and 1 early morning to complete the job, but he was able to work me in immediately that way while other companies barely got back to me on phone in that time and at least one highly rated Angie's List company said that they were so busy that it would be over a month before they could even come out out and give me an estimate.When I had minor issues, they took care of them immediately and never bulked.Several changes were made along the way, beyond the estimate from both sides, but he kept me informed.Cliff uses the latest concepts and U-type nozzles that don't appear to be available to the public.He made sure I was completely satisfied before leaving.
If I had to find something to fault him about:Because he is so helpful and often customers tack additional items on, he frequently falls behind on his daily time schedule.But I benefited from this as well and he makes every attempt to complete his daily tasks even when this causes him to work until well past dark.
I would highly recommend Affordable Sprinklers to all my friends.

When the "new valve" didn't resolve the problem, the service man (Jason) said that he couldn't stay, and that it was too hot to dig more, so someone would call from the office and arrange for him to come back by Saturday. No one called. I called and got the answering machine on Friday afternoon. Jason called me on the weekend and said that he would come "on his own time" on Tuesday morning, at 8:30 AM, and that he didn't need for us to be home. I didn't trust his word or work, so I arranged for a neighbor to come over if and when he showed up. He never did. Approximately 2-3 months later, Affordable Sprinklers sent us a bill for the work that was never completed and it was much higher than we had expected for the valve. I called them and explained that the original bill had "will pay when job is completed" written on it and the job was never completed. They said they would send two of their best guys out to assess the situation and talk to us. They sent out one very young man. He looked it over and agreed that the job had not been completed, he also pointed out that our system was not installed according to code and that Jason should have pointed that out. He said that he would go back and explain all this to the owner and that someone would call and arrange to come out to work this out and give us an estimate on bringing the system up to code. They never called. Today, on 1/6/10, we received a statement/invoice with addl. finance charges, stating that "IF NOT PAID BY 01/01/10 ALL DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS WOULD BE TAKEN TO THE LOCAL COURTHOUSE FOR COLLECTIONS" At no time, during these months have these people called or written to us with any explanation, apology, or attempt to reconcile this matter. They did tell us that Jason, the original service man they sent out, no longer works for them, and that they had forwarded my original message to him. But they had no explanation as to why they didn't follow up to see if my job was completed, since he wasn't working for them and yet they were billing me. This company has absolutely no professionalism, no communication skills and no common courtesy. They seem to have no respect for customers, and I wonder if that is because they think we will pay because they threaten us.
Response from Affordable Sprinklers
"We provided a service that they failed to pay for. What was done they do not want to pay for, even the $39.00 start up and head. I Gave them the $65 valve free. We cannot contact via phone as it is a bad number and they never called for another appointment. They only disputed after several bills were sent out. I since have found her number with professionals."

For the most part, Affordable Sprinklers did a great job. There was a slight miss communication over scheduling, but they went out of their way to make it work. These guys really know what they are doing, but also take the time to explain how to use things correctly. The best part is that they are truly affordable.
