Jim may be good, but be sure to ask about cost. Jim charged me $35 for replacement of sprinkler heads that sell for $13 (w/ tax) at Home Depot. That is not unreasonable if you have 1 or 2 replacements because of Jim's travel, etc. However, if the number of replacements is 15 like I had, the $22/head for labor can get pretty expensive. My bill was $520. Whoever you decide to use, I would ask for a more appropriate breakdown of cost that includes separate line item for travel and inspection (to determine # of heads to be replaced), and then a more reasonable labor cost per head replacement that takes about 5 minutes
