I called Joe on Thursday morning 4/24/2014 and left a message. He returned my call within an hour and let me know that he would call again later in the day once he was able to access his schedule and set up an appointment time. He called at the end of the day just as promised and set up an appointment to come out on 4/28/2014 at 2pm to take a look at my well water pump. He arrived at the set appointment. In fact he was 10-15 minutes early! Nice! I explained to him that my well water pump was not holding a prime. He quickly figured out the problem and went to work. Within a few minutes he had my pump up and running like a charm! He checked and adjusted all of the sprinkler heads as needed. I appreciate it that he took the time to explain everything he was doing and answered all of my questions in a very professional and courteous manner. Joe is excellent and knows what he is doing. It is obvious that he brings many years of experience with him. I will be letting him take care of any future needs on my irrigation system. He did everything right! Thank you so much Joe Melick!

Joe Melick came out the same day I called to check out my leaking well pump. He returned, as planned, 2 days later with a repair kit for the pump. Turned out the pump was very corroded and required a significant amount of work to disassemble. Joe worked over 4 hours to rebuild the pump. Unfortunately, the shaft was too pitted to salvage. We agreed on a replacement pump and a cost estimate. Joe put in the new pump the following day and all is now well pardon the pun)... Joe refused to charge me for the 4 hours of labor he spent working the original pump repair. I insisted on paying for the kit - he at least let me do that... You simply do not find a more honest, dependable, friendly and knowledgeable professional than Joe Melick. Stop looking for anyone else and call Joe. In fact, please feel free to call me at home so I can tell you how good this guy really is. Ask for Joe Lyon at 412-2035.

He was very punctual, and if we had any problems he was very prompt in getting them fixed. For a one man team he did an excellent job. He is prompt in returning phone calls, and fixing any issues, and you would never know he was here because he always cleaned up after himself. If we had to do it again we would definitely use him again.

I called this company approximately five to seven times. I send emails and never got neither a call or an email back. My thinking process went like: If is this hard to get this guy to come out for a potential $3K to $5K job, just imagine how hard is going to get him to come out to fix a $100 worth repair.

Very impressed with Joe. He was professional, responded quickly, explained everything he did and did the job in a very timely manner. We will be using him again, for ongoing irrigation care and maintenance. I highly recommend this company. I feel like its difficult to find honest people to hire for home repairs.
Description of Work: He had to dig well and change many parts, as our pump was constantly loosing pressure. He also installed two valves.

Everything went great. I had a slightly more difficult than average time getting him out, but that's understandable given the time of year. Joe couldn't have been more nice and professional. He answered all my questions and I felt like he was very honest and up front about everything. I will definitely be using him in the future for any other irrigation related projects.

Description of Work: We had an existing irrigation system that was broken, so Advanced Irrigation reworked everything and put new lines in where they got torn up from a pool installation. He fixed our pump and installed new drip lines for some new flowerbeds that we had.

It was obvious, even to me, where the break was. I had another contractor (with fantastic reviews) come out and give me a quote of $180. Mr. Melnick came out the next day and could fix it on the spot for $65. He said it could possibly be more depending on what he found but assured me it wouldn't be too much. It ended up being 2 lines that were busted which put the price at $75. I ended up paying him $80 because he saved me $100 from the previous quote. Mr. Melnick was professional, punctual, and honest. I asked him about some drainage work in my yard. I had a previous quote of $3500 for an elaborate system. He told me to just try a little topsoil to help level off 2 of the 3 spots since they were very minor issues. On the third spot he quoted me $500 for a french drain that had to be run under a sidewalk and through the curb to the street. I will definitely use Advanced Irrigation when I'm ready to do that work.
Description of Work: I had a break in my irrigation line where a new fence post was recently installed. It ended up being 2 lines cut instead of one.

Called Joe and he came by the next day and described the problem. He spent some time trying to identify the issue. He provided an estimate and we agreed on another day for him to do the work. Joe came when agreed on and on time and performed the work that was needed. Now, everything seems to be in working order.
Description of Work: Pump was short cycling, there was a leak, and several sprinkler heads were needing to be maintained/replaced. To fix the short cycling, he located the well and replaced the leather seal in the well. To fix the leak, he redid some of the piping. He replaced sprinkler heads that were in need of replacement. After all was finished, he took the time to teach me how to use the control pad.

After contacting Joe he came the next day in the rain. First he replaced the screens in the nozzle and replaced some of the sprinkler head in the zone that cycled. At first we thought this solved the problem; however the pump continued to cycle. I called him back and he was able to come back and replace a couple more sprinkler heads. Now my pump is not cycling anymore. For the stuck sprinkler head he dug and found the head stuck underneath a root of my tree. He cut the root to free the sprinkler head. The tree was fine since it had more roots. I was happy with the service. In recent call due to pump cycling in another zone and a leaky sprinkler head possibly due to aeration of lawn, I have not been able to get in touch with Joe. He did call me back but we've been doing phone tag. I will continue to use him because he is professional and came quickly (if able to set up a meeting).
Description of Work: Joe replaced the screens, nozzles, and sprinkler head for my sprinkler system. I had a sprinkler zone that was causing my pump to cycle and one of the sprinkler head was stuck in the ground. Joe fixed the cycling pump by changing out the sprinkler heads to a higher flow and unstuck the sprinkler head my cutting the root of the tree and freeing the head.

I left a message on 3/27 which Joe/owner returned that evening but I was not home. I returned the call 3/28 and was directed to his cell phone. He was in the area and said he could swing by and give an estimate. He looked at the 22 year old pump which I was sure we'd be replacing and he said it wasn't necessary (the call was originally made because it was leaking). Joe gave me what was such a surprisingly low estimate considering some contractors charge a $65 just to drive to the house, that I said "do it" right then and there. He preformed the above mentioned services and then explained them in detail and also gave me an education of inspecting the pressure tank regularly and where to purchase and how to install should it be needed down the road. When he tested the system, he noticed one of the heads in the last zone didn't performecorrectly, pulled the top off, bled the line, cleaned the filter, replaced. We've attempted to have this fixed three times! Now works great. This wasn't in the work order request so Joe/owner obviously goes above and beyond expectations. I've found my new contractor for all my irrigation needs from here on out.
Description of Work: Repaired fittings on overheated pump, re-primed and tested, filled pressure tank to 20 psi, adjusted pressure switch.

Joe came two days after the well was installed, and finished the entire system in less than three days. Joe works alone and is very conscientious in all aspects of his work. I had a small problem with an over cycling pump. I called Joe at 8:30am and he was here by 9:00 to correct the problem(a piece of glue was stuck in one of the valves preventing it from closing). Over all I couln't be happier.
Description of Work: I had a 100 foot well and six zone irrigation system installed. Joe was very professional in all areas. He came to my home the next day analyzed my situation and provided a complete estimate. His price was lower than the other prices I received. His price was for a hard pipe PCV system, not a flexible hose system, which is less durable. One of my main concerns was that I didn't want to have rust stains on my drive way or sidewalks. My existing well had 10 ppm rust, was was too high to have a Rid a Rust system installed. The cost over time for chemicals would have been prohibitive. Joe said his well man had dug many wells in my neighborhood, and he felt sure he good get good water. Three days later I had a new well with good pressure and 1ppm of rust. I will not have to have a Rid a Rust system installed which saved me $500 and the about $150 a year in chemical costs.

Joe was very friendly, informative and worked diligently to accomplish the work needed. He also installed a couple of missing screens from my existing sprinkler heads that should have been installed by the original contractor. I wish used Advanced Irrigation the first time. He did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Joe replaced three spray noozles and installed two additional rotating heads by trenching by hand and laying new pipe to existing zones. He also, at my request, went over to my neighbor that also needed a couple of heads replaced and accomplished them in short order. Then he checked all sprayers and rotating heads for proper spray alignment.

Joe initially diagnosed loose fittings that were leaking water, replaced them, and the problem was better but not 100% solved. So he did some more investigation, called a friend with a question, and fixed the problem. He's been very professional and returned my calls within a reasonable time. I will definitely use him again and would recommend him.
