I found Ted's company on HomeStars along with a few more, when looking for somebody to install a sprinklers system on our corner lot lawn.
All of the companies I had chosen, had high reviews and all of them, of course, were busy people. However, Ted's super quick response times, his readiness to listen and hear (which are not the same thing), his deep knowledge of the topic, willingness to help, stood out right away.
I decided to hire Ted and I do not regret. One can tell that this person and his guys do it not only because it is their job, but because they love it and they are proud of it.
Obviously, the job was well done and I would definitely recommend Ted and his crew to others. And just a few points as to why I would recommend. First, Ted is highly knowledgeable and sharp. He could answer questions that no other contractor knew answers to, even though all of them stated they had years of experience this family business . One can tell Ted has done a lot of research, experiments, gained a lot of experience on the "field" and he doesn't just install sprinklers - he consults on why, what, where, how much, why not, provides options and so on. He can easily support his answers by calculations. This has impressed me. Second, the guy makes himself available to answer questions or discuss any topics, even after the installation is complete. Third, his team is super friendly, hardworking, attentive to details, precise, and empathetic. They arrived extra early on the day we had agreed on, worked all the time they were at our place, they were super cautious, when digging and patching back by hand, and left everything clean and tidy after them.
Overall, great experience.
