Question 2

Is hiring a licensed contractor worth the cost?

Accepted Answer

When investing in home improvements, you must consider both the immediate project cost and potential expenses if problems occur. Engaging a licensed and insured contractor protects you as the property owner from liability in the event of accidents or errors.

To obtain a State Contractors License, a contractor must demonstrate a minimum level of experience, pass a business management examination, undergo a criminal history background check, and maintain a clean record with no unresolved contracting complaints. Additionally, Virginia law mandates that contractors maintain Workers Compensation Insurance for all employees, which protects you from financial liability if a worker sustains injuries on your property. This protection is essential because your homeowner's insurance typically does not cover these costs. You may verify all contractor licenses through the DPOR website at: http://www.dpor.virginia.gov/LicenseLookup/

Question 3

Who will work on my property?

Accepted Answer

Our team consists of thoroughly trained and supervised employees. We carefully screen all personnel to ensure they meet our standards for integrity and quality workmanship. Should any concerns arise, we encourage you to contact Jason or Dawne in our office to discuss the matter directly.

Question 4

What is a backflow test and why do I need it?

Accepted Answer

An annual backflow test is a required inspection that verifies no contaminants are entering your drinking water supply. This service must be performed by a licensed backflow prevention device worker who has completed specialized training and passed a competency examination covering cross connection control and backflow prevention. Once we complete the test, we submit the required report to your county utilities office.

Question 5

What does the irrigation start up include?

Accepted Answer

We reconnect the backflow device if it was removed for winter storage, pressurize the system, and inspect for leaks. We then activate each zone to check sprinkler heads for damage or leaks and adjust them for optimal coverage. Finally, we perform the state-mandated backflow test.

Question 6

Do you offer a warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide a one-year guarantee on all labor. All materials we install are covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
