"Client has a history of poor water quality from his well for several years now and has replaced the pump from the well company at least twice that I know about. A well pump should Last 10 to 15 years...not 2 to 3 which means you have a problem with the well. The well brings up sediment which clogs the components of the sprinkler system. Client is unwilling to address the issue and was given various options to pursue including filtration but declined my recommendations and was referred back to his well company for a remedy.. Issues that developed [Member Information Removed] weeks after spring service and daily usage were not under our control and the client was given several options at his expense to resolve the dirty water issues. Client is unwilling to take responsibility for his well and has a history of wanting "something for nothing". After 35 years in business, I always tell the clients the truth and the right way to do things. If they do not want to listen or spend money then it's ignorance of the client and there pittance. The client was not charged for the second service call and wanted repairs done for free which would have failed again due to the dirty water and lack of filtration."
Pat and his team did an excellent job. Pat worked alongside his crew the whole time. He used quality materials which should ensure long life. So far so good.
Only item is that although he applied for the permit, I have to waste a work day to go pay for it since municipal services have inconvenient hours to serve the working public.
Very professional, very quick. Pat answered all my questions without being annoyed. Highly recommended!
"It's quite unfortunate that this was a negative review. I do not do residential driveways, commercial parking lots only. After this person called 7 times pleading for assistance after 3 major snow events we sent another contractor up there to help her out. The driveway had not been done for several big storms. The previous contractor earlier in the yr had damaged the womens house and abandoned her because of a low ball price. She was aware of these damages and told us prior to any work being done. You get what u pay for and she has been thru several contractors all with bad experiences. So much for being conscientious and taking care of an elderly neighbor in need of a helping hand. This person is bitter and angry at the world. Nobody could please her unless u worked for free !!"
"The client was shown all fixtures prior to accepting Big Deal and picked out location of fixtures to be installed. If he did not believe it was a value for the money then why would u proceed with the job ? We suggested other lighting fixtures but client had a limited budget and made the final decision here. Where else can u get 6 LED fixtures, Timer, electrical, and installation by a professional for that price ?"
