Bristol County Irrigation

Bristol County Irrigation installs and services underground sprinkler systems out of 965 Cohannet Street in Taunton. It is owned by Eric Loura, listed as a veteran — Army, separated — who wrote that after ten years in the irrigation industry it was time to venture off and start his own company. The customer record is unusually consistent and unusually specific, and it is also dated: twenty-three written accounts running from August 2013 to April 2020, with Angi and HomeAdvisor both publishing 4.9 out of 5 across thirty ratings. What those accounts describe, over and over, is the owner on the job. A May 2015 customer wrote that "the owner is on the job site and works along side of his help. He and 2 others do all the work in one day," and added that the other bidders were almost twice the cost. Another from the same month said Eric "was here for the entire project from appraisal to completion" and that his appraisal was the lowest received. A September 2017 customer described the sales approach this way: "You could tell right away that Eric was not out to sell you something as much as provide you with an option." The second recurring theme is the state of the yard afterwards. An April 2016 reviewer wrote that "you couldn't even tell they were there after the job was complete", and a June 2014 customer said the same of a full installation. An April 2015 account explains the mechanism: six zones went into a 10,000-square-foot front yard in under five hours, using a machine that pulls the tubing underground instead of digging trenches. Responsiveness shows up too. A December 2013 customer called after 7pm expecting a callback in a day or two, got one that night, and had the system winterized the next day. A June 2016 reviewer named the office side as well — Jonathan handling scheduling, Bud delivering the service. The caution here is the calendar. The newest written account is from April 2020, and that customer, while recommending him warmly, added "Not sure he is still running his own business". Six years on, confirm the business is still trading under the same ownership and still insured before you book, and ask for a job finished this season. For a Taunton-area homeowner who wants a sprinkler system put in by the owner rather than a subcontracted crew, this is a strong record — but a historical one.
