I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A LONG REVIEW! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE TO RISE!
FOLLOWING THE TEXTS!
I have been dealing with a company called Affordable Sprinklers. I hired him on July 14th, a gave a check in full, because he told me that is the way he has done business for 13 years. He cashed the check and then went to the supply company. They didn't have the pump or parts for the install. I requested the money back, he told me they will have it tomorrow and it will be installed tomorrow. The next day, he said, he would be here between, 11 - 1, then it rained, he didn't text me back two days later. He texted me back he would be at my home at 2 PM. Now it's Friday, he texted his truck ran over nails on three tires and needs new ones! He then texts me; he will be out tomorrow no matter what the first thing tomorrow! Then he actually told me that the automobile repair place couldn't fix all three tires and would take the morning to fix them. He had told me earlier that he needed new tires, now he is telling me that they are mending them. Now it is Saturday the 18th, still waiting for the tires and tells me he is going to discount the installation. Then he texts me the pump was $600, and his labor was $195! I am now getting upset with him and asking him when will the installation get done! He tells me I am the number one priority. Tuesday, July 21st texts me he is in Palm Harbor and then is coming to me. Why he didn't first come to me and do the install I do not know. He said he would be at my home a 3 PM. 90 minutes go by and he doesn't show up. Now he tells me he needs more parts to finish the job!
Wednesday morning, he doesn't show, I am texting him, and finally he texts me back in the afternoon when it is pouring. "You want me to come back and get electrocuted!" Then he texts me I am spending time with my family and my newborn son! He tells me he will be there Thursday July 23rd. Then he states he is 28 minutes away, once again, in the afternoon and it begins to rain! Now he tells me he will be at my home on the 24th, the pumps are finally installed, BUT it needs 48 hours for the glue to dry. We agreed he would give me 50% of what he earned for the installation fee. I told him that was $195 like he told me. He said he quoted me the wrong amount it was actually $100! What a liar. He would give me $50. He told me he would be at my home on Monday. He texts me back in the afternoon, he had to stay home with his sick son. Tuesday, taking the baby to the hospital, the next day, I receive a text that the baby has COVID. Monday, August 33rd, he finally texts me and says he will be at my home the next day. I said I can't make it, it will have to be Wednesday, so he texts me Wednesday for sure! Wednesday, he texts me that he just finished a job and has heat exhaustion and has to go home. Why on earth he didn't come to my home first thing and finish my job I have no idea! He promised to be at my home the next day. Thursday, texts he is running behind but will be there. (Why he doesn't come first thing in the morning and finish my job I have no idea, he will not answer me!) He tells me he has a doctor's appointment at 2:15 PM and will be here afterward. It is now 3:30 and he tells me he is still at the doctor's. I tell him that this is getting ridiculous and I want the full $100! Then he comes up with a list of excuses! Then he tells me he dropped the pump price by $200, I bet that is another lie. I have been texting him for the past week and he refuses to answer me! He texts me NOT to fire up the sprinkler system that It will blow up! How I have to hire another sprinkler service to come out and look and finish the problem. read more
