The service is OK. The crew hasn't showed up a few times. When I emailed or texted, they didn't reply most of the times.

McKay Irrigation Systems gets a very high rating on Yelp (and also from some of my neighbors) for a…read morereason: they do great work. Sherman McKay runs the show, and he runs it well. He's great with communication, and his estimate was right on point. I had some drainage work done at my house which trashed my entire irrigation system, so I needed to have it replaced, both in the front and back yard. The McKay crew did a bang up job of it. They came in on time and on budget. They had the whole system laid out and running within about two days. Then Sherman spent some time with me to make sure I knew how to operate the controllers. In fact, they do more than irrigation, and I will likely have them come back and put in some new plants and do some other work in my backyard. They did such a good job with the irrigation system that I have high confidence they will make quick work of the other jobs too. I strongly recommend them.

Sherman is awesome! We were having an issue with our irrigation control system that resulted in a…read morereally high water bill (spoiler alert--it was my fault, I set it incorrectly). Sherman came over for a quick site visit, adjusted the control for me free of charge and he also took a quick look at our overall system which he thought was running pretty well overall. I'm so appreciative of his help and him sharing his knowledge with me. When we upgrade our irrigation control system this summer, I'll definitely go with Mckay Irrigation. Highly recommend based on my positive interaction, Sherman's vast knowledge and just generally great overall customer service.

Mike and his team were great! Very communicative, friendly, and helpful. We had some broken…read moresprinklers and not only did they quickly fix those, Mike also reduced my 9 zone sprinkler system into 4 zones to make everything more efficient. Would recommend and use again.

We hired Mike to install irrigation in our backyard. Our previous irrigation system had leaks etc…read more During the site visit, to which Mike showed up drunk (which is fine, whatever), he mentioned that his workers would add irrigation to the pots, remove existing pipes, and bury the low-voltage electric wire which was going to be running along the pipes anyway. Mike canceled on the originally scheduled date once. Finally, Mike sent two guys to install the irrigation. They were fine and were happy to bury the electric wire when requested, but then later Mike came and rudely told me that that wasn't part of the spec, and that "these guys are stupid, if you ask them to wash your dishes they would do that too". I didn't appreciate the racist comment but let it go. But that was not all... there isn't much space between our home and the next one (think 12 inches or so), and he asked how we would get the siding repaired should we ever need to. I said I didn't know.. he said "maybe you can hire an Ethiopian to get in there, they're all thin because of the famine there". Truly WTF Anyway... judging the work itself - the installation seemed fine when it was done, but we later noticed and had to patch four leaks. I'm not sure if there are more. The piping they used, I was later told, was lower quality too. I'm not sure how long it'll last. I was unable to get competing quotes because we were short on time, but later I realized that his quote was a bit higher than others for the same work. He insisted I pay in cash, and so I did. I then spent literal WEEKS following up with him for an invoice (which I need for bookkeeping), and he kept blowing me off. He said things like "I had a family emergency", "I have 50 jobs this week", "I'm busy" and then simply stopped responding. He also said that it's just 2 minutes of work and that he would get to it... but he never did.

We started getting alerts from EBMUD about a possible leak at our house, which immediately had us…read moreon edge. We had two different plumbers come out, but neither could figure out where the issue was coming from. EBMUD gave us access to monitor our water usage online, and once we started tracking it, the numbers seemed to be getting worse... definitely not what you want to see. At that point, both plumbers recommended bringing in a leak detection specialist. We were pretty stressed, thinking this could turn into a major (and expensive) problem, so we started calling around trying to find someone reputable who could come out quickly. Steve from Water Shield Leak Detection was able to come out that same afternoon, which was a huge relief. He was thorough, ran multiple tests, and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. More importantly, he was confident that we weren't dealing with a major issue like we originally feared. He gave us a few things to monitor and try on our end, and even offered to come back and do additional testing to confirm everything at no extra charge. That kind of follow-through is rare. We were incredibly grateful he could come out on such short notice and, honestly, just put our minds at ease. Highly recommend if you're dealing with anything similar.

After calling many plumbers, Water Shield Leak Detection was the only company that offered it. Steve responded quickly and scheduled Amin right away. When Amin arrived, he assessed the situation and determined it wasn't a sewage pipe issue, so the smoke test wasn't necessary. Instead, he and Steve carefully inspected everything and found the real problem - a leak from a kitchen water pipe that went all the way underground near the foundation. Rather than recommending a costly excavation, they suggested a smart, less invasive solution by rerouting the pipe around the house directly to the sewer cleanout. Steve provided a detailed and reasonable estimate the same day, and Amin returned promptly to complete the work efficiently. Amin was knowledgeable, meticulous, and professional. He tested everything before, during, and after the repair to ensure the issue was correctly identified and fully resolved. He also took the time to answer all my questions and cleaned up everything afterward. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Water Shield Leak Detection and will definitely use them again for any future plumbing needs.

We had a great experience working with RB Landscaping. After shopping around, they were the only…read moreones who said they would be able to complete a curved Saltillo/ Terracotta path. We hashed out the details with Nate over email. Our area was 8.5 feet by 21.5 feet and involved digging out the subgrade, setting concrete and rebar, tiles (including a curved path), and gravel. We set the construction date for February 19th which lasted until February 25th. Jesus, the foreman, was great at communicating the steps required for the build. He would often check in to make sure that we got the end product we desired and was receptive to feedback for the design. With their workmanship guarantee, we have nothing to worry about. Overall, the process was smooth and hassle free. We would be happy to recommend them to others for their landscaping needs.

Great turnaround time!! Price was reasonable and they didn't try to force us to spend more than we needed to. Jesus and his team made sure my husband and I were involved in every step of the process. He explained his concerns and what they were going to do to try to fix it. He even came back after the project was done the next day to make sure it was installed correctly and he checked the drainage multiple times with a hose. It has yet to be battle tested by the weather but I'm happy with how it turned out! We are even considering them for another project.
