In a 2026 review, a customer whose sprinkler controller was blown off the wall by a surge after lightning struck a nearby tree said Mike told them beforehand exactly which products he planned to use, discussed price up front with zero pressure, installed and programmed a new controller, and found two faulty solenoids and a bad wire, all corrected before he left. In a 2023 review, a customer said Mike did a winter sprinkler blowout of all 5 zones on time and at a very reasonable price. In another 2023 review, a customer said all 7 leaky sprinkler heads were fixed on the spot with parts on hand. In a 2022 review, a customer said Mike repaired an underground irrigation pipe in five minutes and raised all the sprinkler heads in one zone so they are more efficient. In another 2022 review, a customer said they were out within hours and solved a zone issue that had plagued the customer for a long time. In a 2021 review, a customer said they replaced a number of broken or leaking heads and moved one 3' to accommodate a bed the customer was putting in. In a 2016 review, a customer said Mike installed a 28 head irrigation system at a very competitive price and came right out afterward to make some needed adjustments. In a 2021 review, a customer said they were not punctual and billed for fixing a sprinkler zone without first giving the cost, even though the customer had asked for an estimate, and that the zone did not work.
Lightning struck a tree near our house and the surge blew our sprinkler controller off the wall in pieces. Mike came out to inspect the valve boxes and install a new one. Before he showed up, he told me exactly which products he planned to use. That gave me time to do my own homework; and when I looked them up, they were the same products I'd have picked if I were doing the research and the install myself. That says a lot. He arrived ready to work, discussed price up front with zero pressure, and got moving. Installed and programmed the new controller, then found two faulty solenoids and a bad wire, all of it corrected before he left. The job turned out bigger than he'd planned for and he was up for it anyway. I'm already planning to bring him back next year to relocate some heads and evaluate placement, something I've been neglecting. Easy recommendation.
Mike is honest, reliable and trustworthy! I highly recommend him!
He came out right away and did the work the next day.
Mike is very knowledgeable, diligent and responsive
MSB PROPERTY was very Helpful in finding out my problem after a lightning storm.
