I highly recommend Simply Sprinklers (Brent Mauriell) 352-250-2573.
Had one zone that would not shut off. After hours Brent talked me through where to find the main shut off for the irrigation on the phone. He worked me into his schedule and came over the next morning to replace a shutoff valve, He also checked my entire system and adjusted all heads. Very professional, friendly, fast and extremely fair charges. Give him a call if you need tuneup or repairs. |

Exactly, so I do my own sprinkler work but my neighbors tell me almost all these companies do a great job and are reliable and reputable but they are getting like HVAC companies, charging a trip fee, diagnostic fee and then whatever repair you need. One company charges $90 just to come out before any repairs. I can understand this because these guys have trucks, insurance and other overhead. They are not some "Chuck in a truck" repair person any more and the few of those that are still out there are far and few between.

Could I have done it for less myself? Yes I could since I also do my own maintenance/repair work. But I didn’t have the parts and would have to order or go to store and wouldn’t have time to do work until the weekend. So was his charge for fast service and time savings fair and worth it…. Yes! |

Sadly, I cannot endorse him.
I asked him to fix a leak in a sprinkler pipe but he said it wasn't worth his while unless I also paid for a full assessment of the system. I agreed to this and his "assessment" was very cursory (no recommendations even though I know several of the sprinkler heads were not "at their best") and he said there was no leak. After he'd gone I turned the irrigation back on and immediately the dip in the ground where I said there was a leak filled with water. I phoned him and he said he wouldn't come back as fixing leaks was not his thing. So why did he agree to come for exactly that in the first place? A waste of time and money. The leak was fixed by Devon Walker, who I highly recommend. |
