Bob was super helpful and professional
Always reliable and do a great job of maintaining my sprinkler system
My husband Eric and I couldn’t be happier with the work MAXUM Irrigation did on our irrigation system. Their work ethic was outstanding. They showed up exactly when they said they would, worked hard every day, and actually completed the job ahead of schedule. One thing that really impressed us was that the owner was on-site and working right alongside his crew for the majority of the job. You don’t see that very often, and it really showed the pride he takes in his company and the work they do. Everyone was courteous, professional, and respectful of our property. They kept everything incredibly clean, and when they were finished, you honestly wouldn’t have known they had been there — other than having a great new irrigation system! It’s refreshing to work with a company that does exactly what they say they’re going to do and takes real pride in their work. We would absolutely recommend MAXUM Irrigation and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!
The service has kept mine and my mother's properties looking great. The grass is always green and lush. Today was Michael B. first time at my property in Ledyard and he did a great job.
Bob was punctual, knowledgeable and personable.
