Great job but a little hard to get a hold of sometimes. When I left a message I usually got a call back within 48 hours. Showed up on time when scheduled work and completed it fast.
Description of Work: James routed water from the house to my side yard. He installed 4 extra stub ups so that I could run the water from there when I was ready to move forward with the project. He also wired the timer and fixed the electric cable for my front lawn sprinklers.

I received a notice on my front door from City of Roseville saying sprinkler in front lawn malfunctioning, water pouring out the side of the sprinkler and flooding gutter. They marked it with a blue flag. I called Joe Norgol/sprinkler doctor and explained the problem, he said he could come over at 5:30pm today. I agreed. He arrived promptly at 5:30pm. I requested he examine the entire sprinkler system to see if there were any other problems needing to be addressed. He did a thorough evaluation and made the necessary repairs and adjustments. He is very knowledgeable, he is a licensed contractor. He had the repairs completed and was finished in no time, it was 45 minutes altogether. The cost was $70 and I paid by check. He supplied an invoice of services rendered.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 leaky or broken sprinklers;checked sprinkler system and made adjustments; checked timer.

The Sprinkler Doctor came out and gave me a detailed estimate for the job. I accepted and he came out the next week. Him and another worker came and repaired the sprinklers in the front yard. They trenched the back yard, which is about a 1/4 acre and installed the sprinklers. They installed the system in my garage and set it up for the sprinklers to go on every morning. It took about 4 days to complete everything. I am very satisfied with the quality of work done.

There was no work performed, because I was not even able to speak to anyone about an estimate.
Description of Work: I was having a problem with one of my sprinkler valves about a month ago. After checking Angie's List and reading the numerous positive responses about this company, I called them to discuss the issue and request an estimate. I left a couple of messages and never did get a reply. After a few days, I called another company and had service the next day. Needless to say, I will not be asking Sprinkler Doctor to do any additional work.

Went great. I needed existing sprinklers repaired (both drip and conventional sprinklers) as well as upgrading of drip system and improvement recommendations. Also ended up purchasing a new timer that is much easier to use. I couldn't be more pleased.
Description of Work: James did a great job. Arrived promptly (even early), made excellent recommendations and explained what he did in detail. Will definitely use him again.

This is the second time we contacted the Sprinkler Doctor. We discovered a leak somewhere in the front of the house in a separate area from where James Norgol fixed our valve a few weeks ago. We called James in the evening around 5:00 and he returned our call approx an hour later. He scheduled us in for 8 the following morning. He was here around 7:30 in the morning already on the job trying to figure out where the leak was. He discovered the leak after digging around for approx an hour and half. He replaced the main line break. The work was done expeditiously and professionally. We are really glad to have someone we can trust for our lawn irrigation needs. In the course of speaking with James, I discovered he also provides contracting services for landscaping improvements. In the future, we will definitely ask him to place a bid for landscape improvement work.
Description of Work: Dug out and repaired 1-1/2 inch break in main line in the front yard.

See above. I thought a sprinkler next to the pond was leaking but I couldn't find the leak. Of course it really got bad when I went to check the pond just before I had to leave for work! I found Sprinkler Doctor on Angie's List and called. As noted, they were out in a couple of hours and found the leak to be from a buried connector from the water source to the pond. Great job!
Description of Work: Water leaking under and around koi pond. Called for service in the morning and response was very fast and service was done the same day. Did a great job and were very prompt, courteous, and efficient. Leak found and repaired.

One member of our church provided very detailed descriptions of what we required. James acted on the information. There was a misunderstanding about where to position the manifold. James made the change (which required a trip to the supply house) in good graces and didn't charge for the extra work. The system worked well except for one station. James returned a week later to fix that problem. He determined that it must be a faulty wire, and he heroically crawled under our 70-year-old building on one of the hottest days of the year to run a new wire. Overall, we felt that he used good parts, did what he said he would do, went to great lengths to meet our specification, and essentially guaranteed his work.
Description of Work: Replaced the manifold for a 4-valve sprinkler system, fixed broken heads/lines, replaced control box, did troubleshooting for non-working station, which led to crawling under our building to replace a faulty wire.

I called James Norgol based upon Angie's list recommendations. He bid $585 for the job. He arrived promptly as scheduled. Part of the bid was to install a gate valve. James found an existing gate value buried near the valves. He also repositioned a few sprinklers and capped off several sprinklers in the process. The job came in at $450. I can't remember when I've had a contractor come in UNDER the original bid price. One of the valves started leaking two days after installation. James came back and fixed it on the third day. Two dry spots appeared a few weeks after the project was done. I called James a few times and he came by a fixed the coverage. James was very knowledgeable about how to setup and position sprinklers to get the right coverage on the lawn. I would definitely recommend the Sprinkler Doctor and would use them for future projects.
Description of Work: Replaced 6 antisyphon valves and rewired to existing timer. Replaced 38 rainbird pop-up sprinklers and repositioned several existing sprinklers.

The company did a great job. There were some changes that had to be made because the design didn't have the sun exposure right and a couple of plants were too big for the area but they just worked it out. Since the design had some flaws, it probably took some extra time to work around them, but James never made it seem like a big deal or charge me more. They showed up when they said they would, and if they were running late, called. James is very personable and easy going and his bid was exactly what he charged.
Description of Work: I had a bedding design and list of plants from a landscape designer which I gave to James. His estimate included the specific plants, bark, and rocks and the labor to install. They removed sod (and transplanted it to some bare spots in the lawn), removed old shrubs, trimmed shrubs and trees that were staying, moved some bender board, configured the water, shopped for the plants, rocks, and bark and installed everything.

He was late for the initial appointment but had called to let me know and then came at the next promised time. He stated he would return the next day with the parts at a certain time and was right on. I could not have asked for a more professional transaction to take place.
Description of Work: There was a leak somewhere in the irrigation system and caused puddling of water. They found the leak replaced the old parts and added newer valves that were needed.
