    I left a five-star review two years ago. Today, they're back, and it's another five-star day. Sure,…read moreI dropped thousands of dollars on the replacement of the pump and all the 30-year-old wiring and such which had failed as a group. It's not like we're made of money, and it's a hard pill to swallow, but it had to be done and I can't imagine it going any better or in a more timely fashion than this team. I called yesterday afternoon when we discovered the pump was no longer pumping. They were out here before the end of day and troubleshot the problem. They were back first thing this morning with all the tools and equipment they could need and had the replacement project wrapped up shortly after lunch. Our pump is running, tank filling, I'll be able to do the dishes and take a shower before dinnertime. The crew, from office staff to the two young men who came out to do the work, were friendly, professional, and understood that no pump means no water, an issue not only for rural residents, but all the animals we support out here. It's nice to work with a locally owned company with so many years of experience in the area that they know the wells like they know their own children. I hope I don't have to call for another decade, but if I do, I know who I'll be calling.

They return calls quickly and their service technicians can quickly diagnose the problem and fix it right away. I highly recommend them!

    Guardino Well Drilling - Drilling a replacement ranch well in King City, Ca.

    Drilling a well is kind of like having a root canal. At some point in your life you may need to do…read moreit, but you are never going to look forward to it. Drilling a well is expensive and messy, with the results left mainly to chance. No one will guarantee you will achieve the well yields you are looking for. So, faced with these challenges the last thing you need is the added complexity of hiring a drilling contractor that isn't 100% straight and upfront with you. Let's face it...... most of us will only drill one well in our lifetime, so you will never have the chance to become expert at it. Indeed, we were complete novices. All we knew was our current low producing well was not producing ANY water anymore. Augie from Guardino came up to our property within a day of the first phone call and spent about an hour explaining the process to me. Augie gave us a worst case scenario quote due to the known difficulties of drilling in our area, and despite the large cost and no guarantee of finding water, we went ahead and started the process mainly because I felt confident that we knew what we were getting ourselves into. It felt like we were about to start an adventure together as partners. All permits, and inspections (pre and post) were handled completely by Guardino and all communications were done quickly through email and/or text, which is just perfect for me. We started drilling ahead of the original schedule and experienced a rollercoaster few days, starting with walls collapsing in on very expensive drill bits, to lots of dust and prayers, to the most unlikely and amazing outcome we could ever have imagined. In short, we achieved a staggering 80gals/minute (v's the original goal of 4~5 gals/minute, v's our previous wells 0.5gals/minute output). We achieved this at half the depth we expected, and even with adding a new pump, christy box (as the well was in the middle of a driveway) and pressure tank, we ended up coming in at half the original quote. From first drill to completion took around 5 days, and that included decommissioning the old well. After completion we received all of the required permits and paperwork in both electronic form as well as a nice physical binder so that in future we have all of the info for the well easily at hand. Augie kept checking in on us for a few weeks just to make sure everything was still working as we thought it would. It feels like we have a whole new property as we can now consider growing things and planting real grass for our dogs. In summary, this was a traumatic and stressful process and I don't think anyone should underestimate what it takes to drill a well. However, it was made a painless as possible by having Augie and Guardino with us every step of the way. This review is not for the result. That was up to fate and your mileage will vary greatly depending on your terrain. The review is for the service and support we got from Augie.

    A great experience from start to finish. Our well is off-grid and powered by a solar setup. Most…read morepump companies had never even considered solar pumps (i.e. Grundfos), but Guardino were happy to both drill the well, and install the pump and solar. Since the installation, we had a few problems with the solar setup. Augie was always super-responsive, and ensured that any issues were resolved very quickly. This is a company that is about much more than just drilling holes and moving on, their long-term support is excellent.

    We woke up on Saturday morning with no water. Visions of a broken pressure pump, a burned out well…read morepump, or, worst of all, a dry well flowed through my mind. I checked what I could check and did what I could so, but the end result was still no water. When I called Mike, he answered immediately and gave some advice on things to try. He was in and out of cell range, and it was nearly closing time for him on a Saturday, but I followed his suggestions to no avail, called him back with a better connection, and he said he'd come out that afternoon. He showed up in the heat of the day, around 95 degrees and set to work. He was informative and helpful, answering every question with confidence and certainty. I learned a lot just watching and listening. Maybe the cleaning of junk out of the relay box that I did set the stage for success, but shortly he had water coming out of the well and the tanks started to fill again. He showed me a few pointers about things to do if it happened again, and, at my suggestion, we talked about future plans of replacing the 15-year-old well pump and other things to make us water secure for the future. Mark is pleasant to talk to and to listen to, and I will use him without hesitation in the future. He even has easy to use on line payment. He sent me an email invoice before he left, and I had paid him before he got home. Thanks, Mark!
