inground sprinkers...WWYD

I've gotten 3 quotes. I'm dismissing one of them completely, because it's almost $1000 higher than the other 2.

From the 2 I have left:

A--4 zones. 10 rainbird rotary heads. 6 toro mist sprays. Bury pipes under paver driveway. Controller in basement. Wireless rain sensor. 5 year warranty. $2150 including all flower beds. Recommended by next door neighbor and also my friend from the next town over.

B--4 zones. 6 hunter rotary heads. 9 hunter mist sprays. Bury pipes under paver driveway. Controller in basement. Wireless rain sensor. 3 year warranty. $1900 including all flower beds.

I'm leaning towards A even though it's a few hundred dollars more, because of the 5 year vs 3 year warranty and also that it was recommended by 2 separate people. I feel like a personal recommendation is better than going with someone I just found online, although they were both very nice people.

Your thoughts? Anything else I should look for or consider before making a decision?

I'd go with A.

The $250 difference is only $50 a year more over 5 years and you get 2 additional years of coverage

Re: inground sprinkers...WWYD

i actually completely agree.

I also think going with personal rec's are worth a few bucks more.

would you mind FM'ing me who you are using, b/c in the next few weeks, as soon as our fence is done, I/S are next up.

I'm in NJ, so my rec's won't help you sorry Chat Icon

I called person A and told him I got other quotes...he came down to $2000 so it's only $100 more now, not $250. I mailed my deposit today Chat Icon Chat Icon
