With peace of mind when needed, Nifty Lawns provided me with exceptional service. Recently, I relocated to my childhood home, my father's residence, to become a full-time caregiver due to his need for assisted living. As a full-time caregiver, managing numerous tasks, I discovered a leaking sprinkler head that had been leaking for over two months, according to my father. The system was first installed well over twelve years ago.
Residing in Makakilo, I found Nifty Lawns, conveniently located in nearby Ewa Beach, and considered their services. After initial disappointment with high prices and poor customer service from other companies, I decided to give Nifty Lawns a try.
Upon visiting their website (www.niftylawns.com), I noticed their sprinkler system repair services. I promptly sent an email, and to my relief, I received an immediate response thanking me for reaching out. They informed me that someone would contact me soon.
The following day, I received an email requesting that I contact them via phone. While some individuals prefer FaceTime or Zoom calls, traditional phone calls, or email, I, as a busy caregiver juggling multiple tasks, prefer texting. Immediately after sending the text, I received a reply from Ms. Padilla from Nifty Lawns.
We communicated briefly, and after she provided me with a reasonable quote for the repair, I decided to proceed. Given the potential leak and associated issues, I requested an appointment promptly. Nifty Lawns accommodated my request and scheduled a day and time that was convenient for me, approximately one and a half days away. This action significantly reduced my anxiety and stress.
Upon the arrival of the crew, Ken, the owner, promptly notified me and coordinated the parking arrangements in our neighborhood with his team. Since our association prohibits parking on my side of the street, Ken assured me that the crew would disconnect the trailer (if necessary) and park it appropriately. Isaac, the foreman, and his assistant arrived punctually and professionally, introducing themselves and facilitating easy communication. As soon as they were parked nearby, they commenced work immediately. Approximately twenty minutes later, Isaac informed me of the good news. The leak was not a plumbing issue but rather the installation of an incorrect sprinkler head. Isaac explained that the intended sprinkler head possesses a feature that prevents water flow upon system shutdown. Subsequently, he provided even better news: the crew had arrived prepared with the necessary replacement part, and the changeover would take only a few minutes.
The relief and peace of mind that enveloped me was quite profound. I readily approved the repairs, and the crew swiftly executed the changeout, replaced the unearthed grass and dirt, cleaned up the area and before I knew it, they packing up and headed to their next customer.
Upon inquiring about the payment amount, Isaac informed me that Ken would contact me. As expected, I received a text message from Ken shortly thereafter offering various payment options. Upon receiving the total, I found myself in a state of astonishment. The cost was significantly lower than my anticipated figure and well below my budget.
I opted to pay via check, as this aligns with my dad's business practices. Ken presented me with the option of either presenting the check to Isaac or mailing it to the crew. However, before I could respond, Isaac and his assistant had already departed.
Upon reviewing the online invoice, I discovered that the company also accepts Apple Pay, major credit cards, and debit cards.
In summary, my experience was like dealing with a seasoned family friend or relative who exhibited exceptional professionalism, courtesy, promptness, and affordability. The entire process was completed within a mere 30 minutes, providing me with a rare sense of peace of mind in today's fast-paced world.
I extend my sincere mahalo to Ken and the entire team at Nifty Lawns for their exceptional care and attention to my father's lawn. I have already decided to become a lifelong customer and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking comprehensive lawn care solutions. Trust me, the experience is well worth the time and call. read more
