If you use this service -- do not pay until you are absolutely satisfied otherwise you will never see tham again.
Description of Work: Note: The date is incorrect the calendar did not goback far enough but the rest of the report is valid We contracted for a replacement lawn irrigation system, a new lawn and landscaping. Initially, things went well and we accepted the design. The quality of the lawn was substandard and pretty much died within 2 years. Workers ripped up underground electronics and replacement was difficult The lawn was never rolled .When we tried to call - there was never an answer.

The full description is above. Overall - a bad experience.
Description of Work: Sprinkler system would not turn on. I used Dave Peckham because Angie's List had him as being in business since 2001 and a member of Angie's List since 2005. Apparently, he took the business over from his father, Earle Peckham, who is retired and also on Angie's List. Dave drove up to the house in a pickup with no signage and a paper license plate. He said he just bought the truck. He had two pierced and tatooed young men with him who both had cigarettes as they walked up to me. I asked if they were sub-contractors and Dave said said one was his son and the other a helper. Dave was able to make all but one zone work. Apparently, I needed an electronic part that they did not have with them. Dave said he would come the next day and replace. They left, and I went to work. When I came home last evening, I noticed they left the valve cover off the back yard valve box, and did not properly replace the cover on the front yard valve box which is in a bed of shrubs and flowers. Lid was tilted with dirt in the box. Today I came home from work and found that Dave had been here because the notes I left him were not attached to the sprinkler system box in the garage. (Garage is detached and accessible by arrangement). I turned the system on and zone one still does not work. He also did not re-program the sprinkler yesterday so that it would come on automatically during the night. Bottom line: I will call him tomorrow and tell him that zone 1 does not work. He can keep the money paid him, because I do not want him back on the property. His phone number is in your AL information about the company. As an aside: Since his dad Earle Peckham is retired, you could take him off AL. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. Barbara Kennedy

The 1st head they installed didn't work properly so now they have to come back out & repair. I had forgot to mention that I was an Angie's List mbr & he was offering a discount but since I didn't mention while the crew was here they refused to give me the discount. They told me they would give me credit for the discount if I used them again, but I said that I wouldn't using the again, so forget it. I then had them out again in August to repair another sprinkler head. He came & did the work & honored the discount. The total charge was $95 but he only charged me for the part which was $35. After he left I went out & found that a sprinkler head was lying on the ground. When one head is out the whole thing doesn't work. I am under the impression he did this so he would have to come back out, fix it & charge me more money. I think they have very questionable business ethics & I wouldn't want to recommend them. I feel they should come back out & repair the other sprinkler at no charge!
Description of Work: I hired them to repair one sprinkler head. They came out to repair 1 sprinkler head but insisted on repairing another that I did not think needed to be repaired. I ended up having to pay $80 for 2 sprinkler heads that cost a few dollars at the store. I think that the cost was pretty expensive and on top of that they dug up a lot of dirt and left it all over the grass.

The repairmen showed, but never fixed the problem. They were never able to send the repairman on my days off, which are week days. The receptionists always made excuses for problems. The owner never returned my correspondences. I thought that the price was high. I will never use or recommend this company.
Description of Work: I had the pressure switch replaced on my pump by Dave Peckham's company in June. After the switch was replaced the pump cycled on-and-off, which it had not done prior to the switch replacement. After 4 visits by repairmen and statements and phone calls stating that I owed money, after I paid cash for the total amount, the pump stills cycles during use with the hose. I called another company to get information and they said that it shouldn't cycle during hose use. I wrote a letter to Dave Peckham, but never received a reply. Two weeks later I called and asked to speak to Dave, but, as he wasn't there, asked that he return my call. He never did. I am very unhappy with this company, as they didn't fix the cycling problem, they harassed me for a debt that I didn't owe and the owner never contacted me to resolve the problem, which still exists.

They need to have permits to do new wells, this took 2-3 months. I had to call them multiple times to get the permits, subsequently it took them several weeks to even begin the work. Eventually the owner (who in his defense is very kind an knowledgeable) came out. The owner began the work and began by cleaning out the existing two wells. He did the first well by hand, this took awhile. He said that he could not finish the rest of the job that day and that he would be back out on Monday. That is the last that I have heard from the company and the owner. I have made more than a few attempts to reach them, each time only talking to the office staff. I have still yet to hear a word from the owner, or see any progress on my unfinished work. After two or three weeks of calling they finally said they would send someone out. This has been a project that is still unfinished with their pipes and things still laying in my yard.
Description of Work: I hired this company to come out and put in a couple of wells for an irrigation system that I had previously contracted them to do.

DAVE WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROMPT, SPENT LOTS OF TIME EDUCATING AS HE WENT, EVEN DID A LITTLE WORK, WHICH HE DID NOT CHARGE ME FOR DURING THE BID PROCESS. HOWEVER, HIS CREW THAT DID THE ACTUAL WORK DID A MEDIOCRE JOB. THEY WORKED CONTINUALLY BUT LEFT THE JOB W/OUT LETTING ME CHECK LOCATIONS OF HEADS AND SPRAY ZONES IN MY FRONT YARD. I HAD TO HAVE THEM BACK TO MOVE ONE THAT WAS SPRAYING ONTO MY FRONT DOOR! THEY DID NOT CLEAN UP VERY WELL EITHER. NICE GUYS, BUT IT WAS A HOT DAY AND I THINK THEY WANTED TO GET HOME EVEN THOUGH THE JOB WAS NOT DONE CORRECTLY. IN THEIR DEFENSE, I SHOULD HAVE WATCHED THEIR WORK MORE CLOSELY AND NOT LET THEM LEAVE UNTIL I HAD CHECKED EVERYTHING. BUT COMMON SENSE SHOULD PREVAIL SO YOU DO NOT LEAVE A SPRINKLER HEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUTURE PATH RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FRONT PORCH AND LET THE SPRAY HIT THE FRONT DOOR AND LEAVE. HOWEVER, DAVE AND HIS BROTHER ARE SO KNOWLEDGEABLE THAT I MAY HIRE THEM AGAIN AND ASK THAT ONE OF THEM BE PRESENT DURING THE WORK.
Description of Work: IRRIGATION SYSTEM MAKE OVER. INSTALLED OR MOVED NEW AND OLD VALVES, LINES, SPRINKLER HEADS AND MICRO-JETS.

DAVE WAS THE MOST POLITE AND DILIGENT BUSINESS OWNER I HAVE EVER MET. HIS NAME AND NUMBER ARE NOW ATTACHED TO OUR SPRINKLER SYSTEM BOX. WE WILL ALWAYS CALL HIM FOR SERVICES OF THIS NATURE.
Description of Work: WE HAD A BURST JOINT IN THE LAWN SPRINKLER SYSTEM. DAVE CAME WITHIN 20 MINUTES OF OUR CALL, SHUT THE SYSTEM OFF SO WE WOULD STILL HAVE WATER GOING TO THE HOUSE AND SCHEDULED REPAIRS FOR THE NEXT DAY. THE CREW CAME WHEN SCHEDULED AND FINISHED THE REPAIRS WITHIN 15 MINUTES.

PERFORMED WORK WHILE WE WERE AT WORK. WE ORIGINALLY CALLED ON A SAT. TO SAY THAT THE ZONE INVOLVED WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. DAVE PECKHAM INSTRUCTED US OVER THE PHONE ABOUT HOW TO TURN OFF THE RECLAIMED WATER FROM THE CITY'S CONNECTION BOX ON THE RIGHT OF WAY, THUS AVOIDING AN 'EMERGENCY CALL' CHARGE. HE INSTRUCTED US TO LEAVE A MESSAGE ON THE OFFICE PHONE TO SCHEDULE WORK FOR DURING THE WEEK. WE LEFT OUR HOME # AND MY HUSBAND'S WORK # FOR CONTACTS. THE OFFICE ONLY LISTED MY HUSBAND'S WORK # AND CALLED THERE AND ASKED FOR BARB (I LEFT MY NAME AS BARBARA AND DO NOT USE THE NICKNAME BARB). THEY SCHEDULED THE WORK FOR DURING THE WEEK BUT LEFT A MESSAGE AT MY HUSBAND'S JOB THAT THEY 'DON'T LIKE TO WORK WITHOUT A HOME OR WORK #'.
Description of Work: REPAIRED LEAK AT ONE OF THE VALVES.
