Description of Work: They replaced broken water pipe between house and the main service valve (at street). They used a unique "molding" process to tunnel the pipe under the concrete driveway.

[Member Name Removed] - thanks for reviewing our company, I know these things are never fun especially when unexpected. I'm glad we were able to accommodate your very complex project without have to tear up your nice concrete during the installation. It was a pleasure working with you both and we wish you a blessed holiday.

Description of Work: I was informed by my water utility meter reader that I was using water at an extremely high rate and to shut it off and find the leak. I shopped the internet and Angies list for comparison repairman and selected Akers, looking for someone to replace the entire line without having to dig up my driveway and someone who was not getting complaints I didn't like to hear. My water line was 45 years old and had been repaired once about 25 years ago due to a major leak in the front yard. I called Akers for a bid and they came by immediately and gave me an estimate for a new line, from meter to house as I requested. I considered the bid for a few days vs a repair which I would have done myself with neighborly help. I found the leak location after a few days, not very far from the first leak years ago. Although a repair would have been much cheaper, I decided to go with Akers bid and not worry about another break at an inconvenient time plus I'm now 70 and don't need the headache. After I approved the bid and scheduled it, Akers applied for a permit and said they would be out probably Wed to repair and would confirm after the first of the week. They called Monday to confirm and showed up Wed an hour earlier than scheduled. They worked all day replacing the line and bringing the line up to code. The city inspector approved all on Thursday and Akers returned and covered the pipe that same day. The holes I dug and the holes they dug were all refilled and worked back into the lawn nicely. I was pleased with the entire job. The water line has a protective covering with a locator and my son, who will inherit this home, will not have any plumbing problems, in the near future, as I encountered.

Description of Work: I'm not exactly sure of the date and don't want to dig up the paperwork so the date is approximate but it was in 2013. | |After getting six estimates for a broken water pipe between my house and a very busy street, I chose Akers to do the job. They did what they said they would do and did it quickly and efficiently. I would definitely hire them again if I had an outside pipe problem as that is their speciality. | |I got awful (almost double) quotes from both Aurora and Apollo Plumbing (Aurora was going to charge me $900 just to see if they could hear where the leak was on such a busy street and they were going to charge that whether they could hear it or not. And Apollo gave me a quote where they said they needed to stop traffic to get the job done with almost double the cost of what I paid. I will never call either of those companies again and Akers didn't need to stop traffic to fix the pipe.

Description of Work: Akers replaced the pipe connecting the water meter to the inside plumbing of our house in Everett. They replaced the concrete vault for the meter and we could not see any disturbed area of the yard in the area that they ran the new pipe. Great job!

Description of Work: Directional drilled and replaced my two water lines from the street to the house. Installed a sprinkler box. Our plants were put back perfectly even though they were moved during the procedure. Things look perfect now and the water line is neatly installed. Permits and inspections were all handled by Akers.

They kept the work areas extremely tidy. They went beyond what we expected, and left our yard in better condition than it was before.
Description of Work: Andy Akers and his crew installed 9 outdoor faucets around our property. New plumbing was run from our water meter to the house. And plumbing is in place to add an automatic sprinkler system in the future. (Andy will give us a bid this week.) They removed some old outdoor plumbing for us as well.

We would not hestitate to recommend Andy or hire him again. He and his team are professional, honest, meticulous, and hard-working. Andy always offered helpful ideas and worked hard to make sure the outcome was beautiful.
Description of Work: We have used Akers Landscaping many times over the years at two different houses. They have installed both homes' sprinkler systems as well as extensive landscaping, including a rockery, new lawn, beds, plantings, etc. At both homes, they were large projects.

Our water from the house to the main road had sprung a leak around 3:00am. My husband called them in the morning after he had repaired it enough to hold until we could get estimates to get the entire line replaced. He called Akers and they came out that evening and provided a complete detailed estimate that included replacing the pipe, upgrading our outdoor spouts and putting all the landscaping back. We were quoted about 3 days for completion. We had other estimates for about the same amount but they said it didn't include bringing up to code, replacing the landscaping etc. etc. We selected Akers and the next day all of the incoming utilities were located and pipes were by the side of the garage. Two days later they began the job and were done in three days. They were on time- professional. What a great experience. When they left in the evening you wouldn't even know that they had been there - everything was cleaned up and restored. They are exceptional at what they do - we won't go anywhere else.
Description of Work: They replaced our water line from utility to home (125 ft), replaced two outdoor spikets and had everything improved and inspected.

Jim Akers and his crew, including his wife Traci in the office, were professional, curteous, timely and exceeded all expectations. He was recommended by a fellow firefigher who had a water line replaced. I had a bigger project that included replacing my entire sewer line from the back of my elevated property to the street down below. Both lines had not been upgraded since the house was built in 1946, so the sewer line was broke and the water line was barely getting water through. Additionally, I needed the old exterior faucets (rusted and barely worked) replaced, which required interior plumbing as well. The estimate was detailed and accurate, including getting permits, inspections, digging a ditch to clean out the broken sewer area, removing and replacing a fence, replacing a cement landing at the bottomof my stairs, installing new drains, and keeping my 2 dogs entertained (the latter was not part of the contract :-) I was given various options on materials and work to be performed. The project was done on-time and my property actually looked much better after the project than before, including planting grass seed. 8 months after the work was completed I can now say that I am as enthusiastic in my recommendation as I was right after the project was completed. Highly recommended!!

Jim Akers and his time were total professionals from start to finish. The bid was competetive, and everything was explained very clearly to me before the project started. My water line was replaced quickly and efficiently, with no damage to my yard. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

The price was very reasonable. We have always been happy with them. Andy Akers is the owner and they always do outstanding work. They are very thorough and meticulous. They are not the cheapest but its good value for money.
Description of Work: I use Akers Outdoor Plumbing Inc. for lawn irrigation services. The last time I used them was 5 years ago to install a lawn irrigation system.

He is meticulous and detail oriented. Very thoughtful!
Description of Work: Andy Akers has done a great deal of work for us, including an extensive outdoor landscaping job. He did this for us in 2005 however he no longer does this work. In 2009 he did a 40 foot french drain in our yard and hooked it up to the drainage from the roof gutters. We were having pooling and flooding near the house during the rains. Now the problem is fully solved and the basement no longer floods. I would fully trust Andy Akers. If he were a neurosurgeon, I would want him operating on my brain!

Overall it went quite well. Andy Akers is a perfectionist. He is the kind of guy you want for your neurosurgery. But he is not fast, and you have to be patient with that. I also don't think that he's inexpensive, which is not to say that he is overpriced, but I certainly recommend that when you get bids you compare apples to apples. He cleans up the job site immaculately at the end of the day. I recommend him highly, but you must know if you take him on for a big job that he doesn't bring in a huge crew and knock the job out quickly. He is a craftsman and takes his time (he doesn't charge time and materials, fortunately). The job actually took close to nine months to complete.
Description of Work: We hired Andy Akers (Akers Landscaping) to do very extensive landscaping work on our Seattle home. This involved original landscape design, site preparation, brick masonry, iron work, concrete work, carpentry, plumbing and irrigation, low voltage lighting, etc. Andy's company did all the work, except for the brick masonry, iron work and concrete pour which he sub-contracted out. He prepped the site, removed boulders, did grading, irrigation, sod, carpentry (trellis). A truly extensive job. His helpers, Pedro and Oly, are hard working fellows.
