It worked out well for me. I had to call him again when he opened the system back in the spring for a couple of sprinkler heads that needed to be replaced. I had to call him back twice to redo some of the work because he did not do the work well. He charged me $25 for a sprinkler head which I could buy at Lowe's at $10. I feel like I overpaid a little bit. He had his labor cost in there too. He did itemize his sprinkler heads. I had asked him to install a rain center also. The original timer for the rain center was not compatible with the rain center he installed. He put in new timer for me and did not charge me for a $100 timer. I guess it a kind of balances out. There were a couple of sprinkler heads after he finished which I took care of it myself and fixed it. He was very responsive, punctual, and professional. He is an elderly guy and often forgets. He would not use him probably in the future.
Description of Work: I use Howard Homes & Irrigation for lawn irrigation. He winterized my system in the winter and then opened the system back in this spring.

He came on time for our first appointment and listened to what we wanted out of the system. He provided an estimated cost and start date. Both were met. Sam was very professional and courteous and delivered exactly what we requested. During our final watering, we noticed that some of the sprinklers were not reaching desired areas. On short notice he came out on 18 Dec to adjust some of the sprinkler heads -- one was just clogged and he cleaned it out, two others just needed their rotations adjusted. He also shut down the system for the winter. He did not charge me for the visit. What a guy!! I will definitely call him for any other irrigation needs.
Description of Work: Sam installed a lawn sprinkler system for my front and back yards that targeted the garden areas and lawn and kept it off the house. Since we were using a well water system, we were concerned about iron stains on the siding. He was awesome! Educated me on the choices, the placement and was right on with the estimated time and cost. He and one other person performed the installation.

Howard came over and we first looked at the system and he indicated that since it was under the house winterization is very simple. he showed me how to do the process for next time. He then replaced the sprinkler heads that I was aware were defective. We then walked around the yard and tested all of the heads to make sure they were working properly and he adjusted them as needed. He showed me how the heads go together and how to install them.
Description of Work: Howard came over to do a winterization and to repair a couple sprinkler heads. Howard taught me all about my sprinkler system and took the extra time to show me how I can do some of the preventive maintenance myself. We found a couple additional sprinkler heads that were defective while we were inspecting each zone. All together he winterized the system, tested the existing system and replaced 6 sprinkler heads and programmed the electronic control for me. He spent a little over 2 hours there and did a very thorough job. Highly recommended. He went above and beyond.
