There are many ways to use your search engine to find sprinkler services in your region. You could simply perform a search through your search engine, ask a friend or co-worker, and you could even call someone from an ad on the side of the road.

These are all methods of finding a sprinkler service, but they are most likely not the most reliable way to do so. There are much better methods of finding a reliable sprinkler service for the services you need.

Tips for Hiring a Sprinkler Service

Do your Research

Do not hire the first contractor that comes up in a local Google search. Instead, use other methods of weeding out contractors.

Hold an Interview

Come up with questions that are important to you in regards to sprinkler service. You can ask these same questions to multiple companies that you interview to prospectively hire, and then compare their answers.

Questions you might want to inquire about include subcontractors, how they work, years of experience, why they went into contracting, their training, the insurance they carry, and if it is up-to-date.

Read Reviews

Be aware that businesses can try to fake their reviews. Stay on the lookout for reviews that seem insincere.

Ask for References

Asking for references or referrals from past customers should be simple. If there is any hesitation when you ask for this, you need to realize that this company is not for you.

Years in Business

When hiring a sprinkler service, you should ask how long they have been in business. If they have been in business for less than one year but have the references to back up their services, then this is not as much of an issue.

Qualifications

Although not legally required in the state of Colorado, there are different forms of certifications available for sprinkler service professionals.

Having qualifications and training certificates will provide you with the peace of mind that the company you are hiring knows how to do their job.

Cost

Be sure to discuss the full cost of the project you are asking to be completed. You should ask exactly how much the design and install is and if there are any hidden fees or taxes.

Be aware that it is not always a good idea to go with the lowest-cost provider because they might not be giving you the best service.

Down Payment

Although typically a down payment is a standard process, it is important to avoid paying for your sprinkler system work in cash.

This is because you will not have a digital trace in case of an incident. Instead, pay by check, debit, or credit card.

Be aware that you should never put more than 10% down prior to starting work. Once all materials are delivered and are in your procession, you can then make a payment of up to 40%.

This is due to the fact that materials are typically valued at around half of the total cost of an installed irrigation job.

Do Not Pay in Full

Until the job is completed, you should never pay in full before the job is fully completed. This will allow you some leverage in the case of miscommunication or if the job is not completed.

Ask for a Written Contract

No work should be done without a written contract. Make sure additionally never to pay any money without a contract present. This is important to secure your rights.

Have a Plan

If you first provide a plan and ask for sprinkler professionals for their bid, this will give you a good comparison of prices.

Alternatively, if you do not have a plan, then you can also make the decision to give them a simple list of requirements and needs. This might be the location, spacing, maximum flow, or other specifications you prefer.

Relax and Enjoy the Process

Avoid creating stress over choosing a sprinkler system service. By giving yourself enough time, you can actually relax and enjoy the process.

If you are ready to take the next step and find the best sprinkler system professional to install your irrigation system contact Colorado Sprinkler Service, a Denver sprinkler service company.
