I called Acme and had someone come out a couple of days later. Ulysses determined that the wire connecting the valve to the system needed to be replaced. He told me that the job would take a maximum of 4 hours to complete. Due to the amount of time needed to fix the system, I had to schedule another time for him finish the job. He showed me how to work the stations manually so that I did not need to drag out a hose sprinkler. When he came back out, he finished the job in less time then he thought. He fixed the the wire and fixed two other heads that were not working correctly. I was very happy with him and the job that he did. He also showed me that they have a sprinkler maintenance program. I signed up for the semiannual inspection program ($75 a visit).
Description of Work: Two of my sprinkler stations were not working. I also wanted the rest of my system checked.

Waterwise Irrigation is really good. They haven?t done the major part of the work yet. However, they have been awesome so far. When they came to do the repair work, they were great. They were very helpful, very knowledgeable and quick. Their price was good. They weren?t the cheapest, but they spent an hour around my house and did the repair work. The guy they sent to do the work was really good. The only downside is that because they are so popular, they are really busy. So, I had to wait for three weeks for getting my work done. I know it is worth the wait for a good company, but I won?t want to wait for more than three weeks. They have given me a quote for another work, which includes trenching, septic water heads and a septic system. I think the price is fair. If they are really good at the work, then it will be worth it.
Description of Work: I used Waterwise Irrigation for getting some small repairs done on my irrigation system, 2 weeks ago. They repaired a couple of sprinkler heads and repaired a leaking sprinkler line under the ground. I am using them again for making a bunch of changes to my system, as I’ve put in new grass. They will also install drip systems around the house for the plants, in the future.

Technician, Dan, arrived on time and immediately went to work checking our system. We had one leak that I was aware of and I pointed that out to him. He proceded to repair what was needed and make the adjustments that will give us maximum efficiency for our sprinkler system. He spent time answering my questions about our system and reviewed an optimal watering schedule. His work was very professional and thorough. He spent 1.25 hrs. on our job.

He came out when he said he would come and gave me an excellent quote. I didn?t end up using anybody, but he did everything that he said he will do. He was very nice, friendly, prompt, etc. He wrote out everything in detail including about how he would do the work. He was very professional and explained things to me. He told exactly what he was going to use. His price is very competitive, and I recommended him to somebody.
Description of Work: He provided an estimate for the work that he would do for us.

The drainage crew was experienced, knowledgible, and very careful! This was hugely important to us, since we had previously installed a sprinkler system, and upon buying the house 32 years ago, placed all of our gutter downspouts running underground, out to the street! So we ALREADY had a lot of pipe underground to dodge! On top of this.....one of the drainage runs necessitated being dug across 3 of our landscape beds in which I had planted perennial shrubs and flowers!!! The crew was careful and replaced all the temporarily removed plants upon completion. They cleaned up after each of the 6 days of work on our property. Amazing! We are awaiting the first BIG deluge "test"....to see if the value of the work...compares to the price paid!!!
Description of Work: Due to "IKEs" torrential rain storms that followed, several rooms in our house incurred water damage caused by high water levels in our back and side yards, thereby seeping into several back rooms of our home! This mandated radically improving the drainage in those areas. Ditches were hand-dug, and drain pipe, with spaced, ground level drains, were installed in our back and both side yards...running out to the street curb. Our yards elevation, down to street level, was carefully surveyed and plotted...for maximum effectiveness. Some of the major runs were topped with a gravel drainage channel to prevent soil erosion into the drains.

The representative spent 30-45 minutes checking the system. He reported that there were grassy areas not receiving coverage and that I needed new equipment (heads) from another company that would reach further to cover these. I got another Angie's List company to give me a second opinion. I had several leaks over my large yard which they repaired. They also adjusted heights and replaced a few pieces of equipment of the same type. I contacted Waterwise to report my story. They removed my charge ($126.50) for an estimate and said their purpose was not to diagnose all problems at that time.
Description of Work: Ran my entire irrigation cycle system to "diagnose problems and provide quote for repairs needed." I understood there would be an approximate fee of $40.00 for this service. I had moved into a new home with unhealthy grass and problems with water pressure.

The project went very well taking just over 3 days to complete. The work took an extra day due to the fact the ground was excessively dry due to lack of rain in July when this was done. The crew arrived at 8:00 am each morning and worked till 4:00pm. They were respectful and hard working. Other than the extreme hard digging the project went as expected. Once completion of the project the techs came out at the appointment time and adjusted the sprinkler heads a small amount as well as showing us how to use the timing system.
Description of Work: Waterwise came and installed a complete irrigation system for my lawn and gardens. This service includes five zones for both front and back yards, using a combination of rotary heads and spray heads. The gardens are on totally separate zones. All trenches were hand dug for this project.

Keith called before he came out, he arrived on time, and my husband met him as he came from work, he and my husband toured the entire outside, while Keith explained what he was checking and why, he was very detailed oriented and specific. We both talk with him while he made recommendations that wouldn't cost us and he completed the job within two hours. My husband and I both thought it was a lot of work, so we were anxious to find out what it would cost. It was less than what we expected, then they guaranteed the work for 90 days. We were very pleased!!
Description of Work: The company repaired valves, replace heads and pipes, this was just in the back, In front yard, they found a leak, which was a problem our water company would have to address. Also, they raised our sprinkler heads, and adjusted to water pressure, and repaired a demanded head, and raised all of them, They also repaired zones that were not working properly, so the entire yard will be watered as it should be.

The old control box seemed to have a short circuit. The representative from Waterwise helped me trouble shoot the problem over the telephone. When the problem was not solved, he sent a repairman out on the next day. The repairman was prompt, polite and thorough. My only complaint is that when he installed the new box, he did not cover up the hole in the sheet rock leaving some of the wires exposed. There may have been a good reason for this, but I wish that he would have asked me about it.
Description of Work: Waterwise installed a new sprinkler control box and put new extensions on 2 sprinkler heads.

It was, so there were no problems. Gentleman showed up with a helper and they were shown problems. They gave us an estimate of time and cost and we approved. They went to work, fixing each individual problem, plus identifying some problems we were not even aware of. Finished and final cost less than quoted. Set schedule for watering system.

Description of Work: A well deserved A+ to the company, employees and the drainage system. The company added new drainage designed to prevent ponding in the front flower beds, (along the foundation) and sidewalk. They also repaired and re-located the sprinkler system in the front ditch. The flower beds and yard look FANTASTIC. Thanks for the 20 year warranty.

Whenever we have lots of rain, our backyard becomes a lake. With two dogs, that was very unpleasant to say the least. We obtained several estimates and decided to give the job to Waterwise because, they not only gave us a good proposal, Ed suggested a system that sounded great. He was very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and had wonderful references. The drainage system is fantastic! After installation, it's been fun to go out front and see water, that is coming from our backyard, going into the street. There was an area next to the house that needed to be leveled. It looked as though a tree was removed (before we bought the house) and a rather large mound remained. They fixed that for us and they even put down new sod in several areas of the yard for us. It's a great company to do business with. We plan do have them come back and do some more work.

Description of Work: Water Wise fixed an underground, broken elbow on one of the pipes for my sprinkler system. Most of the dirt was already dug up so they didn't have much digging to do. They replaced the elbow and filled the dirt back in. One foreman and one worker came out and it took them about one hour to complete the job.

Called the company on Monday, March 19 hoping to get a repairman out right away. The receptionist was very good, asking appropriate questions. She evidently wrote down every word I said because the repair dudes knew all about it. Between their schedule and mine they did not come out until Thursday, March 29. Two repairman arrived right on time and got right to work. They went through the entire system and made some minor repairs that got the sprinklers working correctly. The invoice was based on the amount of time they were here. The dollar amount was right on the money. They were professional, courteous, punctual & fairly priced. All good.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with this company, and specifically Ed Vitulli (I think he is the owner). They were prompt, efficient, and did a fantastic job. My phone calls, including my initial inquiry, were returned promptly and Ed patiently answered all my questions (and I had a lot of them!). They showed up exactly when they said they would and finished a little earlier than they said they would. They left the backyard virtually just as they found it and the drainage system works great. We have had no standing water in our backyard, even with last week's heavy rains nearly every day. I am extremely satisfied with my experience and would definitely hire Waterwise again for any lawn-related needs.
Description of Work: I had a drainage system installed in my back and side yards to alleviate standing water which occurred after it rained or after I ran the sprinkler system.

Water Wise Irrigation is safety oriented, and I had two employees come out to do an inspection. The work only took two hours to complete, although the quality of work was great.
