I had a similar experience with ACI and would not recommend them

I also agree with this. I had a maintenance agreement with ACI, and every time they came (quarterly $60), they would find something wrong and add on to the price for that quarter.

Several people have mentioned that the repair man has fair pricing or has reasonable prices.

Those terms are very vague. It would be far more helpful if people could provide a little more detail on the pricing.

Some people may think $50 an hour is expensive while other people may think that $100 an hour is a bargain.

I replace my own, very easy, just takes little effort and very little general knowledge… and about $5 dollars in parts.

I highly doubt you could get anybody come out for less than hundred bucks. Not worth their time and effort.

About all businesses seems to do that. Just say no.

Last time I had a geyser, I called my guy and he stopped by later that day, fixed it in 5 -10 minutes and charged me $25...

I gave him $40 and told him to keep the change... Hmmm... Maybe that's why he comes whenever I need him...

Another vote for Joe Tucker. 352-430-5615. Joe came to my house on time, fixed/adjusted several broken sprinklers for a very reasonable price. Joe’s my guy!

Default Best Irrigation Person - Caleb Hough

We love our irrigation person. His name is Caleb Hough and his number is 352-254-0215. We have referred him to several people and they have all told me he did a great job. He is reasonably priced and does a good job.

I wish posters would stop posting that a contractor is "reasonably priced". It is too vague. Why not just say how much they charged for a specific task? That is what people really want to know. Posting that a contractor is reasonable doesn't help.
