I had Dave's for five years. Despite numerous problems with my sprinkler system, I felt comfortable with his company and son Wyatt the tech.
Because I liked them, I didn't hold them to the standard I would larger more professional companies. My bad. They seemed like hardworking guys, not afraid to get down & dirty.
Long story short - my wife loaned the tech $1800 to have his root canal done. He was in pain and down on his luck. We trusted them. Our bad.
Our next service call resulted in a jury-rigged fix, exposed wires, and an unexpectedly high bill. Of course, if "we" agreed the amount would be deducted from what was owed to us. Hmmm.
I met with Dave to express my concerns. He cited the personal loan as outside his business. Yet, he would've allowed the outstanding balance to be placed against the tech's personal loan. Hmmm.
He didn't seem concerned over the exposed wiring. He told me I could've covered it. Professional? Your call.
We paid what we were billed and said goodbye in not so pleasant terms. Obviously our business relationship is over.
They're hardworking guys and may work out for you. Not so for me. read more
