Default Sprinkler Check Up?

I had some questionable water usage so I need someone to check my sprinkler system. I called Jim Baumgartner a Village resident (353 504 2317) based on the previous post on TOTV. He really knows his stuff and it shows. He's willing to to take the time to show you things about your controller. Give him a call and you will not be disappointed!

I do my own minor repairs but I call him once to do some diagnostics of my system and he did a good job.

Yes, he does. Jim is the "go to" guy for TV when their crew can't fix a sprinkler problem, so there's really very little he can't do.

Based on comments on TOTV, I hired Jim Baumgartner to do a small repair and system check up. Glad I did! Good work and a fair price.

Here is a fresh up-date on Jim Baumgartner. I called Jim to service my irrigation system,on the 3rd ring he (Jim) answered the phone. Jim promptly scheduled me in to get everything squared away.
Now here are the important things to remember:
a) Jim showed up at the appointed time.
b) Called me the day before the appointment.
c) The charges I thought were very,very reasonable
d) Jim is knowledgeable,and explained everthing in detail
e) Patience is his middle name the sort of person that one would like to get to know and be around.
f) Honest, firm hand shake, and a friendly smile.
g) Village Resident, and made it crystal clear before he left..Don't be afraid to call him anytime.
h) Jim serviced my complete system this morning Sept 11, 2013.

Thank You Jim Baumgartner !!

Sounds like a good endorsement for the gentleman. Does he put in extension lines also?

Extension Lines..yes he does. I did ask him this very question since I am planning on putting in a patio and other landscaping, Jim told me irrigation is what he does, and whatever is required along those lines he does.

He absolutely loves his work you can tell,,plus a bonus he does know Plants !!

Give him a call nothing to lose Jim answers the phone, I found that he fit's in with the customers schedule, and after that will let you know what is needed once he surveys the job. Needless to say I was very impressed. It is really difficult to find reliable people and Jim is reliable and honest. In closing I Trust Him.

I tried the number for Jim provided above and it is not a working number. Could it be a typo?

Jim does nothing but sprinkler work, is a little more expensive, but also does a great job. Both of them are very ethical and stand behind their work. Neither accepts money upfront.
