Figure A: How Sprinklers System Works
Sprinkler Repair Minimum Charge;
$275.00 plus parts, to make a special trip out to make repairs;
But many times, if you will answer a few questions and send me a few pictures I might be able to diagnose and explain to you how you can do your own repairs for free.
The reason why I charge a minimum to come; the next time you leave your house to run even the simplest of errands I want you to make note of when you actually leave and when you actually get back, not a guesstimate after the fact, actually write it down what time it is that you got into your car and what time you actually got back to your driveway.
It’s my contention that even the simplest of errands takes a minimum of 1 hour by the time you drive there, find parking, go inside, do your business, and get back in your car, and get home. So my point being although your repair is simple, my time just getting there to do the repair, and then get to the next place I have to be, has to also be accounted for, and If I need a part, the time going to go get your part, is all part of your project.
Standard; $110 for the install, $50.00 for the actual Orbit Timer (none WiFi)
Optional; $110.00 for the install, you can buy your own Rachio or RainMacine WIFI timer for about $150 or the Orbit B-Hyve WiFi Timer for about $150.00 (RainMachine is my personal favorite for inside installations, but the Orbit B-Hyve is very popular and is my favorite for outside installations because it comes in a weather resistant box).

Brass; $150 each
Copper Plumbing $425
If the situation requires Copper Plumbing to install the Sprinkler Valves ? $200 in materials $225 in specialized skilled labor.

This is the second time I called for Sprinkler Irrigation issues and Michael walked us through the process of evaluating the electrical and the valves on the phone. He was able to diagnose the problem and advise us without a dime out of our pockets. I highly recommend him as he is extremely knowledgable, willing to give away free advise and pleasant to work with. I can say I've never met hm in person because he has always been available to advise on the phone for no fee at all!!! So very rare these days. Great value for $000 dollars! - 6 months ago

I definitely recommend this business because they were responding my work request on time and completed my sprinkler job very good. Their services was excellent and I was very happy with them. - 6 months ago
I called Mike at RotoerGuy and explained how my irrigation system had stopped working after I had some major exterior renovations. We scheduled a team member up and got a few hrs notice.
Very honest and knowledgable. He mentioned the good, the bad, and the ugly. He said that what I needed was a roto tiller or a disc tiller behind a tractor and that I could hire someone in my area more cheaply. - 8 months ago
I called Mike for an emergency irrigation/sprinkler issue. Instead of charging me to come out, he helped me temporarily solve the spewing water and gave me instructions on how to figure out what kind of issue (plumbing v irrigation) we were encountering. If the issue is that of one that Mike can help with, I will definitely be having him come out. So helpful when he did not even have to be!! - 9 months ago

I called Michael about needing my sprinkler system repaired. He stated that the service call would be $275, although he offered to walk me through the repair on the phone for free. I took up his offer and Michael talked me through a repair that lasted over thirty minutes. Michael also assisted me with knowing the functions setting up the timer properly. I must say, I feel elated not having to pay anything. Much thanks to Michael. I'll keep you in mind for my next landscaping need. - 1 year ago

We loved working with Mike, The Rototiller Guy! We needed to start from scratch on our irrigation - but since we can do all the trenching and laying PVC ourselves, we only needed the valves installed and connected to our Rachio system (all of which is above our pay grade). After watching his YouTube video on valves (very informative), we decided to go with the brass valves which are attached to copper plumbing. They are not much more expensive over plastic and last much longer. We were lucky in that Mike had an apprentice with him during our installation so we got a course on how to install copper plumbing. We do a lot of DIY stuff around the house, and now we have yet another skill! He is very willing to educate and answer all your questions.
We had an emergency leak in our sprinklers and Mike was able to get it repaired right away, in the middle of the summer season, no less. Really impressed with his responsiveness and professional service. Highly recommended. - 1 year ago
