AJ Lawn Sprinklers put in my irrigation system 25 years ago. I have tried SEVERAL times to find a different company to service me ever since but I have been told other companys will not touch a system they did not install so I have been stuck with this HORRIBLE company ever since! Every single year I have dealt with young inexperienced sub par employees that have cost me money and have done a TERRIBLE job and this company knows that and does NOTHING for the customer but continually up charges for the mistakes THEY created! Don’t walk…..RUN the other way from this company. I will have to learn to work this out myself or let it go rather than deal with this inept fumbling bumbling company again! I will not be extorted for one more red cent!
Description of Work: I needed my system to be turned on in the spring. They sent out a young inexperienced boy that decided I needed a new sprinkler head in the front of my house. I was not present at the time, he phoned me and told me this news, ok. When I inspected his work the next day, my front yard was ALL dug up ( looked AWFUL) and the sprinkler system did not work, it puddled up, inoperable yet they still charged me for making a mess!

Response from A J Lawn Sprinkler Co Inc
The tech who was there last has over 25 years of experience. He'[Member Information Removed] over 40 years old, so for you to call him a boy is really odd. I saw a picture of the area after he made the repair and put the grass back. It was as good as you can get when you have to dig into the ground. He cut out a square of grass, and put it back over the hole when he was done. The reason it may have looked a little messy was because the dirt had turned to mud. This happens when a pipe leaks into the ground. Also, the tech had warned you that the pipe had become brittle in that section and should be re-done. He had to make the repair twice because the pipe kept breaking as he tried to repair it. His notes indicate that you just wanted the leak fixed, and nothing to be redone as we advised. As far as year after year- your system is 15 years old. I see most years there is an activation invoice and winterization invoice. Occasionally, there is a service invoice or two in the middle of the season. Nothing unusual for a system that was installed in 2008. I am the owner of the company, and I have been to this property before to make a repair and spoke with you on the phone while there. I remember you pressuring me to somehow fix an underground leak without digging. I had to almost argue with you to assure you that I can't do that. I also remember you begging me to hurry up and do the job as quickly as possible because you didn't want to pay for over an hour. My tech reports the same thing from this year. I understand wanting to save money on labor, but repairs take the time that they will take and should not be hurried. I am now looking back in your customer record. Over the past 5 years, you have paid between $150 and $420 per year for service. Hardly extortion. You have been accusing us of intentionally messing things up so we can come back, hassling us to keep repairs short, and arguing over valid invoices since at least 2015. We honestly should have ended our business relationship with you long ago.

Brian arrived at appointed time. Checked well pump to make sure it was on and had proper pressure. Cycled through the sprinkler zones and noted which heads needed to be repaired and if there were any leaks underground. Replaced damaged heads and cycled through sprinkler zones again to make sure they worked and were watering proper areas. Very nice guy , professional, very patient and as he worked he explained what he was doing.. Answered all my questions . Cost was $86 to come to house and based on time it took to do the job (2- 2 1/2 Hours) and replace 5 Sprinkler heads the bill came to around $354.00 I would definitely use this company again.

Good and bad. They installed the sprinkler system and it works as advertised. However, they never checked to see if there were any electrical lines buried in the yard or if there were underground drainage spouts in the path of the sprinkler system lines. They cut through the electrical lines and the drainage tiles causing close approximately $1000 in damage (cost to repair.) The guys on my job were rookies at best... Work was done in summer 2015.

A gentleman from this company came to my home on May 2, 2016 to complete an estimate to repair lawn sprinklers. I was told "he had to discuss the needs & show pictures to his boss and I should hear something in 1 week". I did not receive a call as indicated. Two weeks lapsed and I called the office. I was placed on hold for a few minutes and then told someone would have to call me back, (that day). I did not receive a call back, and called backed a few days later. During that call, my paperwork was found and I was told the gentlemen that came to my house no longer worked there, and my paperwork got lost in the shuffle. I was understanding to this issue, and wanted to move forward working with AJ. I was given the estimate for my repair's $775. I needed to speak with my husband, and advised I would call after return of my vacation, which was the beginning of Jun. I called AJ upon my return. I called to ask if someone could give me the price for new installation vs. repair. Again, I was told someone would call me back, (that day), I did not get a call that day or anytime thereafter. Today, it's well over 1 month since the initial estimate, and I can not get anyone to call back to discuss services at my home. I understand it's a busy time of the season. However, customer service should never suffer due to this. A return call, with a solid commitment to follow up on my questions is all I ask. I work in the customer service industry and understand the demands of the day can get overwhelming. However, although my shift ends at 5:30pm, I have made calls well beyond that time to meet the needs of my customers. At this point, due to the lack of follow up, I no longer would like the service of AJ. Not sure what the responsiveness will be if the work commenced. [Approximate Cost: $134.00]

Response from A J Lawn Sprinkler Co Inc
We did follow up with you, your husband met me at the house on June 22nd, then I sent him an estimate by email. We quoted the $775 repair in May. By June 13th we didn't hear back from you, and left multiple messages asking about the quote. Then you asked us for a quote to redo the entire system, which I came out to look at on the 22nd. I even waited a half hour for him at the house because he was late. He then proceeded to tell me how many heads he needed, which I thought was not enough, but I made a proposal for the amount that he wanted anyway. I sent the proposal to your husband's email on the 28th. Maybe you should ask him about this? Many other companies would have never even called you back at all when they were busy. You say you understand it is our busy season, but then criticize us for a small delay in getting back to you. Sometimes in this office, the phone is ringing so much that it's impossible to even pick up a line to call out. And as for you working past 5:30 pm, at that time of year some of us were working from 7am to 8pm, 6 or 7 days a week. Jesse Napolitano Manager

This is an excellent company to work with. Not only did they do a great job installing my system, but they fixed my neighbor's system which was impacted by a renovation we did moving heavy equipment over it. They come ready to work and they do what they say they are going to do... Let me add that fixing the neighbor system was really above and beyond because it wasn't their system and they literally fixed it on the friday before memorial day weekend when I know things are crazy busy for all outdoor trades. I don't write as many positive reviews as I should this company earned my respect.
Description of Work: Installed an 8 zone irrigation system including drip irrigation for about 30 shrubs. Also fixed my neighbor's irrigation which wasn't there system but had been impacted by our renovation.

They are really lovely people. Everything turned out fabulous. My husband and I found them to be just the best. They are very kind. You call them if you have a problem. They could come to fix one of the little sprinklers out there that was clogged a couple of times. We enjoy them and we would recommend them to anyone. We had someone out and we did not really care for their attitude. When we had A J, that man should not be nicer. Their pricing is average.
Description of Work: They come back every year and they maintain the sprinkler system for us. The last time they came out was to turn off the sprinklers.

The workmen are always courteous and knowledgeable. They can see a problem before we do and walk us through the options. They open and close every year and the price is reasonable. We first used them several years ago to fix issues done by a business who sent out a young and inexperienced crew to lay a new system. AJ responded quickly to our frantic call and prevented a bad situation form getting worse.
Description of Work: Changed location of several sprinkler heads, adjusted others, 1 or 2 new sprinkler heads. Changed location of control unit from cellar to porch. Work took 4-5 hours to complete. Cost included new wiring materials.

Technician showed within the 4 hour window. He did some of the repairs but could not finish because the office called him and sent him elsewhere. Instead of focusing on the heads and zones I INSTRUCTED WERE PROBLEMS he decided to go through all of them and replaced ones HE thought needed replacement. I deferred to his judgment which ended up a big mistake since he ran out of time. So now I don't have fixed what I wanted fixed, it cost me more labor cost, 4hrs, and I need to reschedule. He comes back a second time, again he digs up a head and pipe that was working fine and then fixes what I wanted fixed. About a week goes by and I see the head and pipe he SHOULDN'T worked on, sticking 2 ft out of the ground. I call again and set up a time. The office screws up the appointment and wants to send him in the morning which I had told them was not possible. Finally he shows up the third time. He buries the head and pipe again all the while complaining. I told him he needed to adjust another head and replace one that he worked on before because it wasn't working properly and caused a section of my lawn to burn since his second visit. He got all agitated and started yelling that the office didn't put it in the work order and he had to go to another job. It would have taken 15 minutes but he just left. The next morning I get an email with an invoice saying no charge but no explanation why he acted the way he did nor asking if my problem was fixed or if I needed a fourth appointment. This company use to care about its customers and the quality of its services, but not any more. They stress out their workers by scheduling too many appointments on a given day resulting in poor quality and unnecessary rescheduling. Guess its time I move on, SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSSEL USE SOMEONE ELSE.
Description of Work: I called them to set up my irrigation for the season. I had a broken hose, needed some heads replaced and head watering adjustments, I have used them for many years.

Response from A J Lawn Sprinkler Co Inc
Hi Mr. [Member Name Removed], I am sorry to hear that you had this experience with our company. In the early spring, it is true that our service technicians have a long list of appointments to get through, and when they run into extra repairs, it can be stressful. There is a small window of time where all of our customers want their sprinkler systems activated within the same couple of weeks and we are extremely busy. While we do allow some extra time for travel and running into problems, sometimes our technicians have to leave and come back at another time, in order to make it to their other scheduled appointments for the day. Our service technician was attempting to be thorough by checking the whole system and doing all the repairs that he thought were necessary. Since you were unsatisfied with our service, we did, as you state, perform the third service call at no charge. Customer service is very important to us and we always strive to have satisfied customers. Again, I apologize for the miscommunication.

The crew at A-J Lawn Sprinkler arrived on time and worked diligently throughout the day to complete the sprinkler installation. They were also extremely professional and courteous. I should note that the company also provided prompt service after the job was completed. There is a reason why they have been in business for 40+ years. I would recommend to anyone looking for lawn irrigation services.

There were a crew of guys that came out to install the sprinkler. It took them about half the day to set everything up and layout all of the piping and sprinkler heads. Because of the weather (it is upstate NY) they left and came back to finish the job. These guys did an awesome job. John, one of the techs, was very informative on the system and showed me how to set up the different zones and times, how to skip zones, etc. These guys were very professional, and we love how amazing our lawn looks now with the sprinkler system. They also set up something in my house for the water shut off and never made a mess. We had a follow up call and the entire process was effortless on our part and professional on theirs. You can tell they are experts in this field!
