He missed the wire snip in the well head and pulled the entire well out. Took about 2 hours for him to realize the problem was right in the well head and he didnt need to pull it out at all- he just didnt see it. Them he charged me for the entire time even though he spent 15minutes looking for a lost tool he misplaced and his mistake at missing the problem to begin with. He put in a couple of parts for which he later charged me for several more parts than i believe he used because i was out there watching the work and heard him take out 3 parts(but got a bill of 12 parts). Then, when i attempted to pay for services right there he refused to provide me with a bill or even a workorder stating he would "get back to me" and had to go vack to the office to "figure it up". That was july.. He never sent a bill until later in the winter near christmas marked FINAL NOTICE with 12 parts and 2 hours time stating he would send me to collections if i didnt pay immediately. I researched the well parts he said he used and they were several times the cost of a retail well parts store on line. I sent him a letter asking him to come out and show me the parts he claims to have used and i would pay him a reasonable price both for his work and the parts he actually used.. He refused to show me the parts and i recieved a letter from a lawyer to take me to court. I had to pay this incredibly dishonest business or recieve a judgement on my record. Not disputing that i owed him something, i certainly expected that we could discuss what i thought was an error in billing and later learned appeared to be a clear attempt to bully a single mom into paying for not only his professional mistake and time looking for his lost tools, but also for parts i dont believe he used on my job and an attempt to charge userous rates for those parts. Cant do without a well, and i wasnt in the old boys network, so i got taken... This company was very dishonest with me, and i wouldnt ever recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: Pulled the entire well when he "missed" the problem in the well head, charged me exhorbitant rates for parts several times the retail price, refused to show me the parts he used to prove that what he charged me for was actually used on my well, and sent me to an attorney for collections after not answering my letters to have him come out and equitably settle the concerns i had with his charging me for parts i disputed. Refused to provide me with an initial workorder/price up front and led me to believe it would be approx $300 when he left. Was very evasive with questions on what he was doing and talked/attempted to distract me from the work his assistant was doing.

Overall, we appreciated Shirley Well being able to repair the well and doing so in a timely manner so that we could close on the house. They also made some other recommendations with regards to the plumming set up so we are going to have a plummer come out and do some more work. We would recommend Shirley Well...obviously since we used them more than onces!
Description of Work: Shirley Well was very helpful in getting the well fixed. We were trying to buy a home out in Gore, VA but the well needed to pass a water test. So we had Shirley well come out and chlorinate the well and provide a test. They did all that but also recomended extensive repairs to the well since it was exposed to the elements and also disintegrating. The intial well test failed. So we had them come out again and fix the well. They quoted us orinally 2,000 for the repair work but they were able to use materials all ready on the property to fill in the original well crater (it was a very old designed well - when you had to descend into a crater to access the well which was surrounded by a concrete housing). They aslo used the crumbling concrete housing to fill in the space around the piping which also saved money. In all we were pleased with Shirley Well's work. In total we paid about 2500.00 because we had to have two chlorinations done and those are $500.00 each.
