Sprinkler Repair Minimum Charge;
$275.00 plus parts, to make a special trip out to make repairs;
But many times, if you will answer a few questions and send me a few pictures I might be able to diagnose and explain to you how you can do your own repairs for free.
The reason why I charge a minimum to come; the next time you leave your house to run even the simplest of errands I want you to make note of when you actually leave and when you actually get back, not a guesstimate after the fact, actually write it down what time it is that you got into your car and what time you actually got back to your driveway.
It’s my contention that even the simplest of errands takes a minimum of 1 hour by the time you drive there, find parking, go inside, do your business, and get back in your car, and get home. So my point being although your repair is simple, my time just getting there to do the repair, and then get to the next place I have to be, has to also be accounted for, and If I need a part, the time going to go get your part, is all part of your project.

In less than one year I went through two lawns in my backyard at our new house. I just thought the sun was killing it. After a while I was able to bring it back somewhat. But it never really looked good. I searched around for someone to install a new lawn and found a lot of jokers. Then I found Mike. He was so such a straight shooter, knew exactly what was to be done and worked with me to save costs. His guys worked hard and were efficient. All in all a great job. Today, I have a beautiful lawn and it's saying green and full. I think the prior installations were just done incorrectly by landscapers who only dabble in lawns. Hire Mike. He's a pro.
Mike the RotoTillerGuy reliably came with his crew...on the day and time he said he would. His crew did a great job on completely tilling and rotating 1800 sq ft in my back yard, adding his "secret" soil enhancer, and additionally coordinated with a third party quality sod maker next day to deliver . It is pure brilliant to utilize nature's own fertilizer in creating a fertile environment for grass to grow and prosper...especially in today's drought-prevalent La Nina weather. Kudos to Mike for hauling in his prime ingredient from the LA Equestian Center. Brilliant...and I wish all the local expensive landscape companies would take notice!
It's been 4 weeks since he spent 1.5 days at my house installing 1,000 sq ft of lawn, replacing and moving sprinklers and lines, and even taking out a flower bed and shrubs and I'm very glad I hired the Rototiller guy. Mike is super hard working, responsive and a great communicator. Very patient with all of my many questions and even responding to my texts with watering questions after the job. His bid was a good deal lower than the other two I had obtained, but I often don't go with the lowest price out of concern for quality of service/materials. But I did go with him after his quick returned phone call, and his online bid creation was very fair and simple to use (very high tech for a landscaping company) and it gave me a lot of trust in him that I was able to purchase the sod directly from the supplier with his help and without markup.
