My experience with Jim and another guy named Chip from Action Irrigation is the same. Neither one wanted to do any labor intensive work. They want to "adjust" sprinkler heads and other easy task that take minimum time and then charge you for doing something I could have easily done my self. I asked Chip to move two sprinkler heads about three feet after I installed a flower bed and he said he does not move sprinkler heads in the summer. What a crock. Also his "adjustments" to my sprinkler heads were unnecessary and I had to go back and redo most of them after he was done. Had water spraying on the house, sidewalks and street. My impression is that neither of these guys have had any professional training and get buy by fast talking people who know nothing about sprinkler systems. I asked them both about throw distances and volume on the different types of heads and never received a straight answer. Save you money and research YouTube to learn how to do it yourself.
