I got him coming over to my place also.
Just my opinion, Joe was not as thorough as I would have hoped given my dealings with Jim.

Joe's adjustment of the spray patterns were off (I followed up after him to readjust). He didn't verify that the rain sensor was functioning (I checked myself and it needed replacement). He did not verify that irrigation system was not leak-tight (probably the most critical check) via the water meter (which I also checked myself and found a cracked elbow on the inlet line).

Given the simplicity of these systems, I guess I expected him to do a full "front to back" tune up of the whole system, not just sprinkler replacements (which he was VERY effective in finding at $25/$35 replacement cost each).

My recommendation would be to ask him exactly what his tune up includes and shadow him to make sure things were done as they should be.
