In 15 minutes time, he was ringing my doorbell and said he was done and that all was good. I thought it was strange that he could be completely done checking six zones and adjusting where need be in 15 minutes time. I asked him if he checked all of them and adjusted where need be and he said yes. He gave me the invoice and I paid it and he left. The next day, I went out and ran each zone to make sure all what OK and found that he didn't do a very good job.
When a customer asks a sprinkler company for the service I requested, the expectation is that all sprinkler heads are spraying in the most efficient manner and not wasting water spraying on the house or on the concrete. I would say about one third of the sprinkler heads are either: not spraying well, meaning when they pop up, they do not spray/reach the full section they should be; spraying onto concrete and therefore wasting water; spraying onto my house or my fence, which will cause issues with my house later and wasting water as well.
I called twice to ask that he come back out and fix the issues, and that I was not happy, and I have not received a call back. Because of this unprofessional experience and feeling I was ripped off, I want others to know not to use this company. There is no reason you don't call back a customer. When you are paid in full, $50, to do a job, you should complete the job and dedicate more than 15 minutes to do so. I only use companies that come recommended, and my neighbor used them and said he was pleased, and they were also an Angies List member, so I thought for sure they were reputable. Not in my experience. They need to either come back and complete this job or they need to reimburse me my money.
I found Neil on Angies List and called him out. He came that day, was very professional and appeared very knowledgable (though that is hard to judge as I don't know a great deal about sprinkler systems).
I thought his quote was high and wondered if he was coming up with more things than needed done, but I went along with it as I felt the savings on my water bill would recoup the cost over the long run.
Neil spent a couple of days as some of the valves were grown over by grass and it took a long time to find (large yard). In the end, I felt he spent much more time than I'm sure he expected and he never asked for more money.
I feel Neil is one of the best out there. He may not be the cheapest, but if you want to make sure things are diagnosed correctly and fixed properly, this is your guy.
Overall I was impressed with the quality of work and the professionalism demonstrated by Neil. I would definitely use Neil and his company again.
I was happy with the work.
