Sprinkler Repair Los Angeles
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.

The second was to resolve the noisy, banging pipes (AKA Water Hammer) running under my house. Although he couldn't do the job (his company's insurance didn't cover him for working under the house), he explained what it was and what to expect from a plumber. read less - 1 year ago

I spoke with Mike and, in my mind I was trying to figure out when a good day would be for him to come out, much to my surprise after I told him what I needed he started telling me what I needed to do to repair the sprinkler on my own. YES! I was blown away with that. I brought up another situation and Mike continued to tell me what I needed to look for.
I'm going to try the repair on my own and I will not hesitate to contact Mike again, which he said to call him back if I needed more help. When I get into a situation where I really need landscaping help, guess who I'm going to call; yep, I'm calling Mike because I don't feel like he is going to try to take advantage of a situation read less - 2 years ago

Our backyard was a mess. More than half was dirt and weeds after we had the old shed and plantings removed.

I debated for months with myself between having the lawn and sprinklers put in or buying a new rototiller and doing it myself. While looking for sales of rototillers, I came upon the Rototiller Guy and the easy-to-use estimate creator tool on his web page. I liked the prices it showed, so I messaged Mike. He called me back and said he and his crew could do the job the next Tuesday, March 23, 2021. I asked how long it would take and he said they'd be done before they left that day.
So I said let's do it.
On Tuesday, Mike and 3 other guys arrived promptly at 7am. They hand-picked the entire area, some 1100 square feet, rototilled it, raked out all the old irrigation pipes and sprinklers, grass, sod, and weeds and hauled it out. Next, 3 yards of compost was spread over the area to be sodded and rototilled into the soil, and leveled. 3 zones of irrigation were added, 2 zones for lawn sprinkling and 1 zone drip irrigation for future shrubbery.
The sod was delivered to the street but it was too late to roll it out (it was past 6 ). Mike and his crew came back the next morning at 7am and finished rolling out the sod. Mike suggested I put stabilized decomposed granite along the side of the house instead of trying to grow grass. I agreed and ordered 2 yard of stabilized DG as the supplier called it. Make and 2 guys came back on Thursday and spread and tamped down the stabilized DG and we were done.
Two weeks after the sod was installed, it is ready to mow. I've attached two photographs so you can see how well it is growing.
If I had decided to do this myself, I'd still be waiting for the rototiller to arrive and looking at many weeks of hard labor ahead.
Thanks to Mike and his experience and crew, I am out selecting my new shrubbery.
Thanks Mike! read less - 2 years ago
Prem EFirst of, I need my sprinkler repaired because of low water pressure.
Called in different companies and all gave me different solutions. One company told me that i needed a pressure regulator for my sprinklers, which i already just had one installed for my house and that kinda puzzled me.

So now that i'm confused. So i decided to call one more company and i was so lucky to speak to Mike G of RotoTiller. After explaining to him what the issue was, he told me to text him pictures of my valve and then he called me back to tell me how to adjust the valve to see if that was causing the low pressure. I adjusted it per his instructions, and it did help a bit. He called me back to count the number of heads i have on that one valve and i had 15. He said it was too much and so he instructed me over the phone to get a small screw driver to turn off 3-4 heads because according to him, 1 valve should only have about 12 heads. So i did and it helped a little bit, but i also found out by doing this that one head was broken which was causing the water pressure to be low.
What an outstanding guy! Mike was so patient with me over the phone, FREE of charge and diagnosing the problem and explaining to me what needed to be done. So now, instead of getting a new pressure regulator, i just need to go to Home Depot to fix the broken head.
i definitely recommend this company and will use his services in the future.
Thanks again Mike and what a wonderful way to run a business with great customer service. Top notch! read less - 2 years ago

I called Mike because my irrigation system wasn't working. The wall unit was on, but the sprinklers weren't coming on. I fully expected to have to pay to have him come out and inspect everything, but he offered to troubleshoot my setup over the phone, free of charge. I don't even care if his tips work, I learned a ton... continueI called Mike because my irrigation system wasn't working. The wall unit was on, but the sprinklers weren't coming on.

They did a great job, quickly identifying the issue with my sprinklers, and set me up with a much more effective design.
They showed me how to adjust them on my own, so I can fine tune them to perfection.
Fair and reasonable price, and prompt same day service. I highly recommend for all landscaping/irrigation issues. - 3 years ago
