Buyer beware… Pedro has great sales skills and confidence. Very positive and claims he is knowledgeable. Provided good estimate and schedule and so he got the job. Promises the world, but delivers nothing.
He was suppose to start on Tuesday and he showed up on time. However, he did not come prepared. He went to Home Depot the night before, Memorial Day, and picked up about 5% of what the job needed. Although he had about 10 days to purchase the supplies from a commercial irrigation company which we discussed. When asked he claimed he preferred that supplier, but Home Depot was the only open place that night. So the supplies he brought were not good quality and certainly not enough to keep him busy for the eight hours we planned out. He also claimed that his credit card was maxed and couldn’t purchase the supplies, We discussed the job again and decided to have him go get supplies at the commercial supply house and have them call me so I could give the company my credit card number.
He was supposed to come back by 2pm. A bunch of excuses started to surface: he claimed his car over heated. The mechanic didn’t have the part, his friend was going to get it, he claimed he would give updates, but never called, when I called him the phone kept going dead (hanging up??), over and over, he stated the phone was breaking up when pressed are you in board with job as it was all fishy smelly… Never heard from him again. Buyer be beware… Super great sales pitch, but no delivery of product nor labor. Would not recommend as he couldn’t even start the job.
Overall, it was a waste of time dealing with him. The same day that he flaked out my friend gave me a number of her irrigation guy and within three days the valve and timer had been installed and my plants are happy again. A world of difference between Pedro’s SALES and actually just getting the job done.
