Description of Work: Irrigation repair

Description of Work: .

Description of Work: Rescued our antiquated irrigation system that had been dormant for 1 year due to multiple, well hidden, wide-open pipes, broken electrical controllers, and faulty sprinkler heads. INTRICATE attention was paid to every detail of our watering system and watering requirements. Assessment of every line and sprinkler head, and connection and controller was performed on their hands and knees - not just by eyeballing the layout of the system. Our watering requirements were reassessed and each zone was adjusted so we would use much less water than before. I was taught how to use the system to optimize it as the seasons changed. This revision has already paid for itself by saving on water costs and by keeping our plants from being overwatered.

Description of Work: This is a bit of an unusual situation. This man was hired by the previous owner of our house in April to fix a broken sprinkler valve that our house inspector found. We subsequently closed on the house only to find the same valve leaking. Not a little leak, major mud and the entire housing filled with water. He charged the previous owner aprox. $250 for the repair. I called him to inform that the leak had returned. Left, message never returned my call. Then called him again and he picked up. Proceeded to tell me that he would come back to fix the valve but it would involve massive amounts of work, and gave me an estimate of $300-$500. Even mentioned that if any other company came out to repair the problem it would be $1200. As he saw it the problem was the sprinkler shut off valve was malfunctioning and he needed to take out our holly bush (8 feet high), dig up our water meter and install a new sprinkler shut off valve. Only then would he be able to properly seal the pipe to the new valve. I was incredulous. Called highly rated Ridgeway Mechanical. They came out, located the shut off valve for the sprinkler (in two minutes) which worked just fine, and covered with pine straw, obviously Jowell Thome had not ever located it, and repaired the leak. $39.00. They are not a sprinkler company, plumbing, but knew what to do with pipe leaks.

Description of Work: I hired him to get my system working again.

Description of Work: Relocate sprinkler heads, size adding a new zone to existing system.

Description of Work: They winterized my irrigation system (drained and turned off to main water supply). My system was originally installed, very DIY style, not correctly, by the previous homeowner, making an otherwise simple task much more difficult. There were 2 main turn on/off valves side by side for some strange reason. Jowell, after some digging and reworking, simplified the system down to the single main it should have.

Description of Work: No work was done (see below).

Description of Work: They added a third zone with two sprinkler heads to an existing irrigation system.

Description of Work: The company repaired a broken pipe that was leaking in my sprinkler system. In addition, they programmed my sprinkler system and confirmed the sprinkler heads were facing the correct way.
