VERY prompt and honest. Originally wanted him to move two sprinklers but after a thorough investigation informed us that one only needed to be capped as we had enough coverage. He could have done the work that wasn't needed and charge us much more. A bit costly for what we had done but I understand they have a minimum requirement.
Description of Work: Capped one existing underground sprinkler and moved another.

Bob and his helper showed up on time @ 8:30AM. They went to the back yard and I explained my problem. They both began to work, digging up the two areas. They fixed the underground leak almost immediately, and had a new sprinkler head working shortly after. The flex hose was fixable, but I had another underground leak in the system causing no pressure in the zone. They found the 2nd underground leak and additionally cleaned up another four sprinklers, replacing the cement donut after cleaning up the area. They tested ALL 4 zones to insure I had no other problem. Total time for the work was 3/4 of an hour. I was very impressed with both Bob and his helper. The most impressive thing was when finished, I went outside, Bob told me what they had done. When I asked how much do I owe you, he said; the office will send you a bill, we want to make sure you are totally satisfied with our work. Who does that today? These guy's are awesome!
Description of Work: I had two sprinkler's I could not fix. One was buried under the sod, the other had a flex hose instead of PCV. The City of Clearwater, during an inspection, notified me of the underground leak.

Fantastic-showed up at the scheduled time for the initial inspection, came the next available work day to do the work. The crew forgot to remove the old pipes, and when I called, I asked if they could also haul off some very(ie 12 feet)long wooden headers that used to hold up drapes-they said no problem-what service!!
Description of Work: They pulled up our existing pipes, showed us the holes in the pipes that were causing the problem, checked our pump, and then replaced the pipes.

They came up to look at my pump that wasn't working. Determined it wasn't the pump and gave me a prices for a new shallow well and also new pump. I asked them to wait 2 months for the work to be done. When they were finished, they inspected the sprinklers to make sure they were working correctly. From start to finish, I was very satisfied.
Description of Work: Installed new shallow wells and a well pump.

Services would good, lawn after the work was put back in good shape including sod removed. System has been working well since.
Description of Work: I had problems with the sprinklers not drawing enough water. They would pulsate and pressure was very low. I had had three other companies come out and look prior to Charlie's that cost me an additional money doing small things like replacing a value seal, some just looked at in said they would drill more well points for so much a point, etc. Charlie's approach was different. He stated that investigation into current setup and conditions was required prior to any new drilling. His team arrived on the date of appointment at the approximate time schedule. They went to work digging the current lines and well points out. Taking care to save the sod for replacement after digging. They then identified 9 existing well points five of which were no longer hooked up. They test the points for water pressure and found they were good points. The plumbing of the points however was not good. The redesigned the way the points were plumbed, hook up the disconnected points and tested. During testing it was also discovered that the pump was defective and we replaced the pump as well. System has been working well ever since. So in the end, no new well points were needed. A new pump and replumbing of the existing well points to allow for best suction of water was all that was needed. I also got a good understanding of where the well points are and how they are plumbed for any future issues.

I came home when they were almost done. My son told me they had been there for about 15 minutes before I arrived. They said all the heads needed to be replaced, which could be true however, heads are cheap. They told me they would send me the bill. I thought it was pretty high for changing sprinkler heads. The real turn off for me was when we were discussing the patch of grass that had turned brown during the time the system wasn't working right. I asked if it would come back once it got watered again. The guy told me that it would not but he had a business on the side and that they could do it for me at a great price. Keep in mind that this was a small area needing one or maybe two pallets. He told me I needed 16 pallets and that it would cost around $1600.00. His partner was out of earshot. When I questioned the amount of pallets he yelled to him "hey how many pallets you think it would take to fix this brown area"? The guy responded "oh I don't know...three maybe four" Apparently they hadn't rehearsed very well. First guy says "what are you kidding!? Three or four!? Then the other guy caught on and said " well it's hard for me to tell, you are better at that". By the way, most of the grass came back. I received a message from their company some time later with a very condescending tone asking for payment but I had not received a bill! When I called them back to tell them I had not received it, they said they had sent it but would send another still in a nasty tone. They called again after I had sent it in and said they never received payment. I told them I had sent it in and then they insisted I give them a credit card number. I refused and told them I would check with my bank and if it hadn't cleared I would stop payment and send another. I didn't hear back from them again and the check did clear more than two weeks after it was sent in.
Description of Work: Fix sprinkler system. Two heads were not operating properly. I changed them out and they still didn't work so I looked for a company on Angie's List.

Response from Charlie's Wells Irrigation
WE WERE OUT TO DO SERVICE AT THE MEMBER'S PROPERTY ON MAY 6 AND SENT THE INVOICE FOR SERVICES RENDERED ON MAY 7TH,. PAYMENT FOR THIS SERVICE WAS NOT RENDERED TILL JULY 9TH OVER TWO MONTHS AFTER THE SERVICE WAS RENDERED. WE START TO CALL 30 DAYS PRIOR TO SERVICE FOR PAYMENT. THEN ONCE A WEEK AFTER THAT. SO HER FIRST CONTACT THROUGH A MESSAGE LEFT ON AN ANSWERING MACHINE AND A SECOND NOTICE IS SENT THEN AS WELL. IF THE MEMBER DID NOT RECEIVE THE INITIAL INVOICE THEN WHY AFTER ABOUT A WEEK DID SHE NOT CALL AND NOTIFY THE OFFICE THAT NO BILL HAD BEEN RECEIVED. NO CALL WAS PLACED. WE DO OFFER THE CONVENIENCE OF CREDIT CARD PAYMENT SO THAT CLIENTS DO NOT HAVE TO MAIL THE PAYMENT IN AND ALSO CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF POSSIBLE BENEFITS THAT CREDIT CARDS OFFER. WE TRY NOT TO BE RUDE IN THE OFFICE AND ALWAYS TREAT OUR CLIENTS AS WE WISH TO BE TREATED. I BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS EMBARRASSED BY US CALLING FOR PAYMENT AND TOOK THAT WANTING TO BE PAID FOR SERVICES RENDERED AS BEING RUDE. I DO NOT THINK THAT SHE WAITS OVER 2 MONTHS FOR PAYMENT AT HER JOB? NOT ONCE HAS SHE STATED THAT THE WORK DONE ON HER IRRIGATION SYSTEM WAS NOT SATISFACTORY. ALSO WITH GAS AT $4 A GAL AT THE TIME IRRIGATION PRODUCTS WENT UP DUE TO THE FACT THEY ARE MADE PETRO AS WELL. WE THOUGH HAVE NOT RAISED OUR RATES IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. IF SHE HAD DONE HER RESEARCH THEN SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT WE ARE NOT THE CHEAPEST IRRIGATION CONTRACTOR AND THAT WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRODUCTS AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WE STAND BEHIND OUR WORK, THAT DOES COST MONEY TO DO THAT. WE USE COMMERCIAL GRADE PRODUCTS THAT ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THOSE THAT CAN BE PURCHASED AT A HOME IMPROVEMENT STORE. ALSO WE DO NOT WORK FOR FREE AS I AM SURE THE MEMBER DOES NOT WORK FOR FREE EITHER. AS FOR THE SOD INSTANCE, CHARLIE'S WELLS DOES NOT LAY SOD, WE INSTALL AND REPAIR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS. IF YOU APPROACH SOMEONE NOT LICENSED TO DO THIS KIND OF WORK THEN LET THE BUYER BEWARE. AS STATED THE SOD CAME BACK, PROBABLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM WORKED SO WELL AFTER OUR REPAIRS.

This is my second experience with Charlie's Wells and it was a good as the first. Charlie's installed my sprinkler system which is connected to my well. They were punctual, courteous and very helpful. They even checked my sprinkler heads and cleaned out a couple that we clogged with no extra charge.

They come when you call and their employees are very pleasant. We have been using them for about ten years. This last time they did not do something correctly, so I called them back they came out immediately and corrected the problem without charging me. I would recommend them because I think they are a wonderful company.

When my pump died a few days after the company was there to check everything out, I was a little wary, especially since I wasn't home and did everything over the phone. When I later came home and saw how bad the pump was and have now seen how well everything works with the new pump, I no longer doubted if it was needed. In addition, the day I noticed the system wasn't working was my sprinkling day and it had been very dry. I called and they came out that day to fix the system so that I could water my yard.
Description of Work: Tested my sprinkler system and adjusted sprinkler heads. Then later in the week, when my pump died, came and replaced the pump that day.

Very professional and did a great job. The only negative is that they were a bit pricy. I identified a couple other heads that needed replacement this weekend. Went to Home Depot for the parts and they were about 40% cheaper than what I paid during my service call (on top of the labor). That said...I would use them again if it was something a bit more "expertise" related or if I win the Florida lottery.

Another company told me that I needed to replace my entire sprinkler pump for $800! Charlie's gave me a quote over the phone for $500. I scheduled them right away- when they came out, they discovered that my pump did NOT need to be replaced, just repaired. I am so thankful for their honesty- it saved me hundreds of dollars. They are quick, reliable, and reasonably price. I highly recommend this company.

After an original consultation about adding a few heads, he suggested that I revamp this system. I was OK with this because the existing system wasn't very good, but I wondered if this was a standard tactic. They waived the service charge and said it would be $400-$500, "not more than $600 or $700" and he'd charge parts and time. It took an hour longer than expected (4 instead of the estimated 3) but he told me that it was easier than he expected, due to high pressure in existing lines, so he'd knock $100 off the bill. When the bill arrived, it was purely parts and labor, plus a $50 service call, and came to $885. I called to complain and they eventually lowered it to $735 which is still more than their worst-case estimate, not to mention that the job was "easier than expected." They also cut my (unmarked, buried) cable line, but I could've marked it beforehand. The end result looks good (so far) and the irrigation coverage is very good. I was told that they warranty the work for 1 year and the parts for 2 years. I would just be wary of the estimate and would suggest getting a written and fixed price for the job rather than an oral agreement to pay for parts and labor.
Description of Work: Reworked the entire irrigation system, used many existing pipes, controller and valves but replaced all heads and added branches.
