Excellent service, thorough and very professional. My schedule made it a little difficult to get the visit arranged but they were patient and worked the service call around a schedule I could support. Will definitely use them in the future.

Response from Penguin Home Services LLC
We are very disappointed with this customer's review and we would love to know what we could have done better. This customer purchased a Big Deal for an irrigation evaluation on 10/11/15 and we sent him a message via the Angie's List message center that very day. He got back to us on 10/14 and we promptly responded and scheduled the evaluation. The evaluation was performed on 10/19 and an evaluation report and estimate for repairs were sent to him on 10/21. We responded to each of his messages very promptly and were on time for the evaluation, actually we arrived about 5 minutes early. During the evaluation this customer was very nice and responsive and seemed to agree with everything we told him. He seemed as though he was eager to get the repairs done. He even gave us one of his business cards in case we could possibly do business with him in the future. We would like this customer to contact us to let us know why he graded us so poorly and what we could have done to make his experience with us better.

My back yard are had no water access so the original owner had not installed sprinklers there. I cut through my driveway and made a 6" gap for a lined to be run to the area. Giuseppe ran a 1" water line from the front of the house to the back area, about 100 feet. He had to remove some wire mesh which was still in the driveway cutout. He also added a garden spigot for hand watering the area. He and his crew added a sprinkler zone in the grassy area, and a drip irrigation zone in my pond area. I was extremely please with his service as usual!
Description of Work: Added two sprinkler zones to my underground system.

They were on time and complete the job in one day. There was a bush in an area and he recommended to not sod there as it would not grow. He offer to place some de-composed granite I had on site in the area for no extra cost. I've used Penguin several times and I am always very please with his service and his crew.
Description of Work: Removed two failing large garden boxes (2x3x16 feet), and a compost bin, and disposed of the materials. Leveled lawn area and laid down two palates of sod.

I provided the dates that I was available. The company representative provided all alternative dates that they had openings. (which I was not available). I provided additional dates. Never heard back from the company. I called and he said he returned my calls (which I never got, or a message on my answering machine). Angie's list refunded my money promptly !

Our apologies to this customer if they were not happy with their experience. We do quite a few of these irrigation evaluations each year and we handled this one the same way we do every one. In fact, this customer had a Hunter Pro-C controller which does not require us to change any settings to manually test the system. The only thing we changed was updating the time to reflect daylight savings coming to an end. We went through each station one by one and not only looked for issues but also adjusted nozzles to eliminate overspray and cleaned out the filters of any heads that appeared to be clogged. We then typed up our report and sent it to this customer. The report detailed our findings as well as recommendations for repairs and/or upgrades. We also sent the customer a proposal for those recommended services. I'm not sure what this customer was expecting but I do apologize if we did not leave them satisfied.

Great! Giuseppe (owner) was very prompt first to my inquiries about the "Big deal" and was able to schedule his services with me within the week. He was very good at communicating to me that our first scheduled appointment may be delayed due to weather. I appreciated the delay notices so I didn't have to hang around the house waiting! He and his crew came the very next day to diligently work on the house. They did a great job!

I had a station in my sprinkler system that wasn't working. I assumed it was a bad valve and received a quote to replace the valve. Giuseppe showed up on time and determined it was a missing sprinkler head and fixed the problem for 1/3 of what I was expecting to pay. I will definitely call Penguin Lighting & Irrigation with my next problem.

Just moved into home and water bill was over 20K/month. I had Penguin come out and inspect the system. They found several leaks and a broken head. They repaired everything, and replaced the controller as it was broken also. They also found a leak in the double check valve and replaced that also. My water usage for the next month was under 10k gallons. This cut my bill by over 40/month. I could not be more happy!
Description of Work: New sprinkler control, water sensor, 1 sprinkler head, double check valve, and labor.

Guisseppe is EXTREMELY professional. He was very responsive, showed up on time, and I was very comfortable having him work on my system. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He is not the cheapest but you get what you pay for right? And while it may have been a little more than I wanted to pay I was happy to do it knowing that the job would be done right. He also installed a lighting system. This lighting completely transformed my landscape and is a great addition to the house. He also installed a timer mechanism so I don't have to worry about turning the lights on/off. Everything works great and I have had no issues.

I wanted some landscape lighting done around our recently renovated Koi Pond. They called and scheduled their lighting specialist to come and give me an estimate. They arrived promptly on time, took pictures of the area and went back to the shop to do some designs which they then sent me with an estimate. We agreed on the price and scheduled and install. Again, they arrive when they agreed, and were able to complete the work in a few hours. There were some startup issues with the lighting, and they vendor return a few time until all of the issues were taken care of, all at no extra cost. Extremely pleased with the service and results!
Description of Work: Installed 10 LED landscape lights with transformer and timer. 3 up lights into trees, 1 pond light, and 6 path lights, using a 150 watt transformer with a analog manual timer.

Extremely patient and worked with my budget. Would have liked dual lights on trees instead of 2 separate lights, but not available. Transformer covers come off entirely stead of sliding while attached. Follow up service provided at night to make any adjustments. Would recommend his services.

The overall process of working with Giuseppe at Penguin Lighting went exceedingly well. He worked with me through the initial design phase, installation and when I asked them to come back and add additional lighting. I changed my mind several times and he worked with me until I got the results I was looking for. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to add external lights to their home.

The process from start to finish was a superior experience. Everyone from the company with whom we worked was extremely professional and dependable. Special praise is reserved for Giuseppe Baldi, who was our main contact with the company. He and his electrician installed our complete LED system, and they did an exceptional and thoroughly professional job. We simply could not have asked for a better experience. The lighting looked great and was clearly more than we had hoped for!
Description of Work: The job involved installing a new exterior LED lighting system in our back yard. The system consisted of 19 separate fixtures, including lights for shrubs, trees, pathways, fire pit, rock waterfall, outdoor cooking area, and our patio seating space. The fixtures which illuminate the fire pit, the cooking area, and the seating space were switchable, so that they could be turned on or off, depending on whether those areas were actually being used.

The gentlemen that came out was punctual and knew what he was talking about. After discussing best placement options and picking out some lighting fixtures from his catalog, Giuseppe provided me with a free estimate, I eagerly excepted. Once the work was done he explained how to set the timers and/or use the photocell for dawn/dusk operation. Very high quality products and installation, the LEDs should not add much to my utility cost, and the lights have transformed the look of my house, great buy! Highly recommended to all.
