Dirtman Sprinklers Inc

DDan Burgat from Dirtman Sprinklers came out and laid out a plan for a sprinkler system at my house in Missoula. He was the most expensive by $300 but I liked him and the plan he laid out. He and his crew completed the job and had it running in one day. Some of the craftsmanship regarding the installation of the Pex plumbing lines in the basement had to be corrected by another more experienced worker (but it was done without much coaxing). They had to come back and add a sprinkler head and adjust and change out others for a different type, and did that in a timely manner.

He told me that he would supply me with a drawing of where the lines and heads are. The drawing he sent me looked like a 10 year old kid did it with crayons. There were no measurements, no zones identified, no head type identification; it was the most unprofessional drawing I could have imagined. I sent it back to Dan and he baiscally said tough luck, that's all we do. Remember he had been paid by then!

He is a pretty nice guy, and the system works just fine but I would be sure to keep an eye on his crews craftsmanship and have your drawing in hand before paying him a plugged nickel.

Would I hire him again? Probably, but I would be specific about the level of craftsmanship I expected and not pay him before I had drawing in hand.
