"Thank you for your feedback as we take these reviews seriously. We terminated the two employees that worked on your project due to lack of professionalism and work ethics. It's an ongoing issue for most companies finding qualified employees with experience. Thank you for your understanding. We will continue to work hard at finding the best people for these kind of projects."
This company did an excellent job, said when they would be there to start our project and kept their word. He has some of the most experienced workers around. They did a professional job and worked their butts off - their work ethic was incredible.
An estimate for $215-$250 was (verbally) agreed to and they indicated they could get the work done then and there. I was happily surprised with their immediate availability and gave them the go-ahead.
They were here about an hour and a half. The rate for both gentlemen was $105/hour ... a little on the high side to my mind, but, again, they were very professional and I was grateful that the problems could be fixed that very day.
Unfortunately, when they finished up, I was presented with a bill for $373.50 ... significantly more than the estimate. I protested the increase in price but was merely told the broken valve took longer than expected to fix. At that point, I didn't feel I really had a leg to stand on so I paid the bill.
In hindsight, since I know I timed how long they were here working (11 am - 12:30 pm ... emphasis on working, rather than walking around to build an estimate), I believe they charged me for the extra time involved in putting together an estimate.
Sprinkler Pros did quality work and I give them credit where credit is due. My only caveat to anyone considering hiring them is to get a firm estimate in writing before hiring them.
"Thank you for your feedback. We always try to stay within the budget talked about. However, there are circumstances where it's impossible due to the fact sprinklers, pipe ,and valves are buried and unforeseen issues arise that we can't control. After having found these issue's we can't simply ignore it as now it's a liability since we already dug it up. We typically will go back to the customer and get permission to continue with fixing the unforseen issue. Labor rates, material's have been going up considerably. We are doing our best to keep prices down. However service workers are a premium to hire these days and 2 people for $105 hr is not out of line with for the area.. Thank you."
The area that I wanted as a lawn is my nightmare, Duane assured me that it would look great, I was told by another landscaper that it would not turn out as expected. First of all, he didn't spray to kill the weeds prior to doing the work, which I didn't understand, he had two guys spend a day working on it. This is what they did, took a weed whacker to cut weeds, pulled a small roller behind the mini bobcat they use to fill in the low spots, and then raked out some of the cut weeds and rocks. That was all the prep for the area before seeding and applying topsoil. No sprinklers were installed anywhere they were already there, used existing timers. You can imagine what my "lawn" looks like. It is 90percent broadleaf weeds and crabgrass, I have spoken to Duane a couple of times about how unhappy I was with my lawn, he says I'll take care of it, but he never does. He charged me $4000. Dollars to do this area. I have had other landscapers tell me that not spraying to kill the weeds first was the first mistake, and at that price they could have installed sod. I have spent many hours myself working on this area trying to kill the weeds, applying more topsoil and two bags of seed trying to fill in the bare spots. I am upset that I spent that much money for basically nothing.
In short, Duane is a great salesman, very personable and knowledgeable and has great ideas, but that doesn't transfer into the quality of work that is done. He told me himself that they are so busy he doesn't have enough people to do the work, I feel that's why once he had my money "it's see you later" and out the door. I would not use him again or recommend him.
