Requested visit to quote for initial lighting work (front of house, yard, driveway, etc), with subsequent project (rear, pool, etc) to follow in the spring. Also, quote sought for ongoing maintenance of irrigation system, and new system for rear. Agreed date and time. No show by contractor. No response to calls on the day, or ones made subsequently where we asked - if not interested - to simply let us know. Disappointing.
Description of Work: Agreed to visit and offer quote for lighting and ongoing maintenance.

Description of Work: Owner performed free estimate, which was reasonable and flexible. Very professional, knowledgeable and personable. Set an install date within 2 wks. which was postponed due to weather issues. Job was done in less time than estimated. 10 zones of varying types. Will return to adjust if necessary. Explained patiently how to use the system Controller and is willing to be available for questions, very important to me. Excellent cleanup/replacement of grass or mulch. Very pleasant staff, knew what they were doing. Overall a great experience.

I was referred to them by a friend. They gave me a quote within 48 hours. Getting the job scheduled took about three weeks but it got done professionally. This year I had them remove one zone and there was no additional charge.

An Estimate Desired an estimate of cost to install an irrigation system at my personal residence. Owner came out, was very positive, answered my questions and committed to provide me an estimate within 3 days. Two weeks passed and I still did not have an estimate. I called the company again and indicated I would still like to get their price to complete the work. Bottom line, I never received a price estimate and now am un-impressed with their responsiveness and follow-up. Glad I did not contract for their services if this experience is a reflection of how they conduct business. Would not recommend them.

They did a great job installing our sprinkler system. The lawn was left very neat after the installation. I asked them to change the way the wire that was run in the basement (which was my fault for not specifying it in the first place) and they had no problem doing it. Very friendly and easy going. I would highly recommend them.

They call each season to schedule when it is convenient, then arrive when they say they will and get the job done with minimal need for supervision or interaction. The system works great and they keep it going. When we have had a need for a replacement or additional visit, they've always been prompt and courteous.
Description of Work: Annual maintenance of the sprinkler system, including replacement of broken heads, etc.

My experience with McCarthy irrigation was excellent. Paul spoke to me personally about the kind of work he does. I had three estimates, and I had to decide between him and another company. Paul brought his price down, but in the end, both seemed excellent and the other company was slightly less expensive. It really was a toss up and I didn't know which to choose.
Description of Work: They gave me an estimate for an irrigation system in our front, back and side lawns.

Response from MCCARTHY IRRIGATION & LANDSCAPE LIGHTING
THIS REPORT IS NOT CORRECT, AS WITH ALL ESTIMATES I PERSONALLY DROPPED THE ESTIMATE AT HER HOUSE AND THEN FOLLOWED UP WITH A PHONE CALL. WHEN I SPOKE WITH HER, I HAD A COPY OF THE BID WITH THE DATE OF BID AND DETAILS. CUSTOMER SAID SHE NEVER GOT THE BID AND WENT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY. CUSTOMER WAS RECOMMENDED BY A VERY GOOD REPEAT CUSTOMER AND I WOULD NEVER NOT FOLLOW THROUGH ON ANY ESTIMATE.
