"Thank you for your business and for taking your time to review my company. Thanks again Eric"
They showed up right on time, very easy to schedule. Did a very through job of identifing the problem and verifying the overall system condition. The quality of work was very good.
Their pricing is ala cart, and everything costs in addition to labor. This can add up very fast if you purchase all their recommendations. Good company but you need some basic understanding of your true needs (what you need versus what they recommend).
They fixed all issues, ran a full diagnostics and checked all my heads. They also informed me of city ordinance and requirements for a functioning rain/freeze sensor and priced everything before they began any work. They even asked if I had coupons and said that if not to go check on their site or Angie's List. They even found and fixed two sprinkler heads buried under rocks that another irrigation company couldn't locate. Though their prices were a little higher than some other places I called from Angie's List, I appreciated their friendliness, their professionalism and their willingness to explain everything calmly and in simple terms. I will use them again.
I had a very hard time understanding what he was saying. I had to ask him to repeat himself multiple times and I still wasn't sure we were both on the same page.
He dug up a whole where I thought I had a leak and ended up replacing a sprinkler head next to it. As far as I can tell, that leak was fixed.
He also tested the timer to ensure it was functioning properly. And during the tests, noticed some of the zoners were sticking. He then spent quite a bit of time showing me different zones as they were sticking.
I was very surprised how little they accomplished in the hour and a half they were at my house. After an hour and a half, they told me my valves stuck (which I already knew), and replaced one sprinkler head.
Also it seems like the prices for parts were pretty high - they charged $10 for the one head they replaced, but I could pick one up at lowe's for $3-$4.
I definitely don't want someone changing my sprinkler heads out for $100/hr and also up charging me on the cost of all the parts.
I feel like a sprinkler guy should know immediately from my description that the valves were at fault, and not the timer.
When asked for a price per valve to replace, he could not answer me. He could only quote the parts price and a price per hour, but couldn't tell me how long the valves would take to replace.
I understand they charge per hour, but I would expect them to have a good idea of how many hours a job would take, at least give me an estimate.
I felt uncomfortable moving forward with any additional work as it seemed like they were not efficient and were too expensive. I didn't want him to do anything else and just wrapped up the service call.
