Tradewind Irrigation is a complete scam. They came out to service me and up-charged me on replacement parts 2 1/2 times what they are worth.

At the first service call I was told I needed to set up an additional appointment to replace an additional 14 sprinkler heads. I went online and found the exact same sprinkler heads they used for $12 a piece in which they had charged me $25 for, meaning they are probably getting them for less than $10.

The day of the service call a tech arrived and I handed him the 14 replacement heads I had purchased. I was notified they could not install homeowner bought heads even though they were the same exact sprinkler heads they supplied me last time for more than double the cost. The tech proceeded to agree with me the up-charge was ridiculous and told me I could replace them myself as it was as easy as changing a light bulb. He offered to show me how and spent 5 minutes with me guiding me how to replace 1 of them. He never specified I was still going to be charged for the service call until after he left and then came back to ring the doorbell to notify me. I could have simply watched an online video and figured out how to change them myself. I would have never agreed to to be charged for an hour for a 5 minute lesson.

The service call rate is $88 and plus tax made it $93.59. I was charged $93.59 for service they refused to give me. I spoke to the manager Mary Ellen over the phone who was rude and could care less. Not to mention I use this same company to winterize my system in which they charge the same $93.59 for 10 minutes worth of work while the tech sits there and blows compressed air through my lines.

This company is a joke and should not be used or trusted.

Just spoke with Trade Winds. Asked them to adjust my heads "again" because me driveway is getting soaked and my grass is dying. Their answer was I need more heads. Told them I had a photo but she said they know what thy're doing. This may be a case where the customers opinion doesn't matter. I'll be looking for somebody else to service my system. Very disappointing customer service!

Tradewind was outstanding in every phase. I called to get a quote. They were pleasant on the phone and the sales man got back to me within 24 hours. We made an appointment for the estimate. He showed up exactly on time. After the estimate was done we sat down, he demonstrated all the various pieces of equipment; heads, timer, rain sensor, etc. He answered all my questions and was very knowledgable. He left me with a booklet and literature, and said he'd check back with me in 48 hours. I liked this because he wasn't pushy about getting the sale right then and there. He did call me a couple days later, I told him I had one more quote to get and I'd let him know later. He was fine with that.

I obtained 3 quotes. Tradewind was in the middle, however I went with them because of their overall experience. I'm an attorney, and I can tell you that if I were in trouble, I'd go into court represented by an attorney with 20 years experience every day before I chose an attorney with only 5 years experience. Experience counts quite a bit.

Tradewind set me up for an installation date. They came that day and on time. The job was finished by dinner time as promised. What impressed me the most was how all the workers knew exactly what each one should do. The foreman didn't really have to tell them hardly anything! When they were done, my yard looked llike nobody had been there. seriously, I thought I'd have some repairs to my landscaping, but I really didn't. Between the pleasant and courteous attitude of everyone I dealt with, and the fine job itself. I couldn't be more pleased!
