Gerardo is a great job with fixing a huge leak in our sprinkler system. He replaced the poor quality parts with better ones and moved the valves from underground to above ground. A couple of weeks later we had a small leak, and Gerardo came over the next day and fixed it. Great service! He provides a one year guarantee on all his work. I would definitely use him again and recommend him highly. Finally, I appreciated the time he took to explain the details of my sprinkler system works so I'm better informed. read more

Excellent timely & reasonable service. I noticed a bad leak from a buried supply pipe late Saturday & called Dicks for service early Sunday expecting to get voice mail. I was surprised my call was answered & thrilled that Gerado said he would be in my area in an hour or so & could take a look. When he arrived he gave me a quote & said he could repair it now. Everything was in good repair & done at a very reasonable price. A week later late in the evening I noticed another section had begun showing some seeping at the popup heads & figured to check it in the morning. Next morning to my surprise I received a text from the water co that my smart meter had alerted them to a continuous flow. I went right to work & saw I had a valve problem. I thought I could handle the repair on my own following some you tube advice, I replaced the top of the valve body. Long story short I was unsuccessful & couldn't stop the ebb. I called Gerado who determined possibly because my original valve was over 16 years old there could be some minor variance to the molding process or I purchased a defective valve. We agreed to replace the entire valve assembly. Gerado who returned again on Sunday with a new valve installed the valve in short order. Immediately all was back to good working order. I cant say enough about the great service I received from Dicks & master technician Gerado. Don't hesitate to call them for your irrigation system needs you wont be disappointed. read more

***STOP​*** DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!! For starters the man does not use any paperwork or proposals.I suspect his license is expired or doesn't exist . I should know better but my initial conversation was friendly so I went with it. What he doesn't mention is that he charges over $200 an hour and makes up rates for the rest of it. The little bit of work that he did complete he left Parts on the sidewalks and the sprinklers that he adjusted were pointing at the sidewalk and the driveway. We went over the work thoroughly and instwad of soin what i want he installed a dripli e where id asked him to cap thst head, so he had to remove it. I'm retired contractor and currently injured so I hired this man to do some very minor sprinkler work and run a pipe under my driveway which he did not complete his price was really high but I needed it done and he seemed like you know what he was doing . He bid the job for $900 didn't finish demanded a thousand and blamed it on me . Looking at the reviews that seems to be his mo. And then he will get you quoting and sending you pictures from a Karma book telling you that karma is going to get you . I paid him 700 for the work he did, more than fair. It was worth about 500. It rained when he was supposed to start. He did not call or show up. He kept wanting to meet with me to talk about this simple and straight forward work, which was totally unnecessary. I hope you avoid this '''contractor '' Reading other reviews I see this is how he operates . read more

I wanted someone to look at my irrigation system to make sure it was working properly before needing to start. Gerado came out and inspected my system. Did a few minor fixes, ran all the stations and made some suggestions as how to get the system working optimally. He spent over an hour doing this and refused payment. I did pay him since I was very pleased with his help. Was also very impressed with Gerado. Very professional. read more

Gerardo responded promptly to my request in Yelp and setup a time. When he was delayed by 30 minutes he gave me a clear heads up. He identified the leak in my sprinkler pipe and finished it within the time and estimate he promised read more

Responsive quality and easy over the service for my rental . Was a small repair of one sprinkler head gone awry,

This is the 2nd time that we have Gerardo help us getting the sprinkler repaired. He is not only reliable but also justifying what needs to be done fairly. He stopped by during Sunday which works out great for us and get things done. Highly recommended! read more

update: Please read my story and other 1 star reviews to get a full picture of the business. Note that the brand has recently switch hands as mentioned by Sarah and others. Please read the good reviews with a grain of salt and be prepare that the quality is no longer the same. At the moment, I even doubt whether this business is still legit. My issue was eventually fixed today. It turns out the issue was due to broken valves and pipes and has nothing to do with the backflow device. It all makes much sense to me now, because Gerardo was on the completely wrong direction. I am not an expert on this matter but it takes by Darrick from Sprinkler Pro Repair And Install Irrigation minutes to identify the issue and less than two hours for the repair. I was shocked by the amount of incompetence and unprofessionalism. All in all, there are many good sprinkler repair services in the Bay Area. Please do not waste your time and money here. read more

Would give 6 stars if I could. Gerado came out on a Sunday to repair some leaky valves. Did a fantastic, high quality job, stayed to ensure the system was working properly, and even walked me through a few maintenance items I wasn't aware of with the rest of my system. Went above and beyond expectations. read more

Professional, punctual, great services, and a quality organization! Very helpful. Great choice.

This guy is a con man. He never shows up when expected. He will over charge you, not do the work he says he'll do. Example. $1,075 for less than 5 hours of work. Not hard work, drip line repair. When confronted he got hostle, threaten to sue me ( wasn't going to pay until he finished), and called the police on me and said I threaten him. I WOULD NEVER AND I MEAN NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMAPANY!!! read more

Showed up in a mask and on time. Did a great job fixing my sprinkler pipe leak. Did not try to save on materials and gave me the best quality stuff. Job is detail-oriented too. I recommend working with them, and I totally would myself. read more

Went above and beyond repairing my sprinkler with better parts than what was there previously. Very informative and friendly.

I had my main sprinkler valves/wires replaced by Gerardo. He is truly a gentleman and a professional. Not only did he do great work in a timely manner, communicating what needed to be done and at a reasonable price; he is a very genuine, kind, and knowledgeable individual who guarantees and stands behind his work. I would recommend him to everyone I know who is in need of sprinkler repair and service. read more

Geraldo came over to fix a sprinkler problem at our new home. He was very knowledgable, and took the time to explain the details of our sprinkler system and gardening tips for all the plants around our house. read more

I called thinking that I would have to make an appointment for later in the week. However, they were able to come that same day to fix a leak in my irrigation system. My neighbors came over to ask if they could take a look at their sprinklers and were accommodated right after my job was completed. That's exceptional service and I would highly recommend Dick's Sprinkler Repair. read more

Gerardo is a thorough professional. He's knowledgeable, honest, and fair. He also honors his guarantees ... we had him replace our sprinkler system, but further adjustments needed to be made. He came out and fixed it without any problems. I highly recommend him! read more

I contacted Gerardo to help with my dying lawn. I had just put in new sod 5 months ago but the lawns was already dying! Gerardo was able to squeeze me in. He made some minor adjustments to my sprinklers. The bigger problem was my landscaper didn't install head to head coverage in the back. We set up some time for him to come back out and install 4 more sprinkler heads and an additional valve. I also took his recommendation and got a Rachio. I HIGHLY recommend getting a smart controller as it takes all the guess work out of watering. It'll auto adjust how much to water based on the soil and temperature. 4 weeks later, my lawn is lush and getting compliments from the neighbors! I will be keeping Gerardo's number in my phone for any future needs. My neighbor also used Gerardo to help with his lawn. :) read more

Dick's Sprinkler Repair - Before and after - Irrigation Near Me

Gerardo came the same day I called, after 5 so there was someone home. Very courteous, nice guy, did a good job at a fair price. I'll use him again. read more

I found him thru yelp for my Father who was in need of a repair person to fix a leaking sprinkler valve. My Dad called and was told that they'd be there at 6pm on Friday to fix it. Texted him the address, Friday at 6pm comes and no show. My Dad calls him and he said that he was really busy and he'll be there Monday at 6pm. My Dad calls Monday morning to confirm and he was told again, I am busy, I'll be there Tuesday between 4-6pm. Well, it's Tuesday, at 7pm, and again a no show. No call, no show, every time. I get that people may be busy but don't tell a customer you are going to show up and don't, and not even bother to call. This dude is a flake. Just know if you go with him, hopefully it's not an emergency because there's a good chance he will not show up. read more

Update: Gerardo's response to my post shows that he has NO CLUE what job this was. He's merely making stuff up to deflect from my review. I stand by everything I said about him. And know this--I paid Gerardo IN FULL. I asked him to leave when it became clear that there was no point in dealing with him anymore. No one should have to deal with such abuse from a contractor. This guy is off his rocker. read more

Sad news. I tried calling him almost exactly one year later, but no answer. I went with another service (they knew him) and learned that Dick had passed away. Not sure how to let Yelp know. read more

Gerardo is AMAZING. He helped install a Rachio system for my sprinklers and did an excellent job. He was quick and friendly. I recently asked him to come by because I was having issues with my sprinklers and he came and fixed it with ease. He is highly recommended! read more

I can't say enough good things about Gerardo! He's professional, communicates, cares about the quality of his work and his clients satisfaction. As he began the process of repairing several stations we discovered my main water shutoff valve was no longer functioning. Worse, the fittings were so old there was no direct replacement for them. Gerardo went above and beyond all of my considerably high expectations, working late into the evening and returning early the next day to finish the repairs. He uses high quality commercial parts and even painted the exposed PVC to blend in. He's not the cheapest but well worth the money. He's now my go-to irrigationist. read more

This guy is not legit and a scammer. Please go to https://www.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/CheckLicense.aspx and put his license which he has on his website as 6728156171. Contractor license is 8 digit not 10. This license does not exist. Also there is no business under Dick's Sprinkler repair. I just checked it. I am planning to report him to be investigated. He has no name on his website or anyplace. We do not know what his real name is. He does not have an address. He has a p.o.box. I am not sure but I believe you must have an address and P.O box is not allowed. I will be reporting him to the state as he need to be stopped. He can not give people license that can not be validated. His truck does not have his license info which by law must. He comes in today to the job and spend 15min talking about himself and tells me he is a life coach, he teaches in university, he goes on about the books he has read. He tells me his van has purple color because he read a book and he goes on and on. Here I am trying to get him to focus on Irrigation. I am sure in 15 extra minute, he would have said he went to Stanford. Finally he gets to the irrigation and he is clueless, he says he does not know how the control system work. Oh BTW, he said he started irrigation recently and he used to be a stone carver. Then he says, do you want me to fix it, I said ofcourse, he said it cost $275 cash. I said what do you charge per hour? He started to yell and scream and say it does not matter how long it takes and that is what I charge and I am leaving. I was in a jam so I said ok fix it, he burst out and he said to me, you want to negotiate everything with everyone and I am not fixing it. This is the website to report https://www.cslb.ca.gov/Consumers/Filing_A_Complaint/Advertising_Complaint.aspx since he is advertising a license that is not valid. read more

We're currently looking for a company to fix our sprinkler irrigation system and we're shopping around. I inquired this company to get a quote and even set up for a visit. Got a response on 9/23/21 through Yelp with estimate and the time that they would come over. Scheduled on 9/27/21 between 8am-10am. I asked if this is just consultation and also confirmed the appointment with my address provided. On 9/27/21, I waited from 8am to 10am, I even stayed til noon. No response, even to this day 9/28/21. This company the will not even follow through a simple scheduling process or not even take simple responsibility for following up, then I'm so relieved that I didn't waste my time and money on this company. read more

Amazing customer service from a really, really nice guy. Fair price and solid work. Interesting conversation was icing on the cake. Recommend. read more

Sadly no way to give zero stars. One of thier drivers doesn't believe in merging on the freeway and after failing to cut in front of multiple cars on 280 decided to go off-roading. His tire hit the curb pretty hard but the driver didn't even slow down. Completely wreckless driving and a hazard on the road. Got a license plate number 09903K2. ​ read more

Needed a diagnosis for sprinkler valve system not shutting off after the irrigation controller turned it off. Called Gerardo who was very responsive - scheduled a time right away. He did not seem to figure out what the problem was and concluded that the valves needed replacement. He had parts and tools ready to replace them. Overall was good but I found him to be a little bit on the expensive side (400$ for replacing 2 valves - less than 1 hr of work). read more

All i can say is WOW!! Gerardo is a great businessman. From the moment we hired Gerardo, it has been a such an amazing pleasure working with him ever since! We have used Dick's Sprinkler Repair for various projects now and this company's punctuality, professionalism, pricing, but most importantly honesty to the customer is sincerely a 10/10. Don't hesitate searching elsewhere, Gerardo will make sure your investment was put in great use. Thank you again! read more

Not really happy. He came in and recommended we replace the old values. That was fairly pricey. He also installed a new controller and did a few other fixes. We asked for an estimate for additional work but it came in very high IMO and we passed. The new controller is nice. But he went away and I don't think even tested the system before he went. We contacted him about some issues we found subsequently and got no response. One of the pipe joints he put in to install the values is already leaking. One of the zones is unusable because it causes shaking in the pipes. read more

Not only is Gerardo the most reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable person when it comes to irrigation but his work is amazing. It is hard to find people like him out there that takes pride in his work but also does it the right way. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend hiring him for any service. read more

Dick's Sprinkler Repair service was perfect for resolving a leaking sprinkler zone valve. I contacted him via Yelp and he responded the next morning saying he could be out later that day. He arrived in the afternoon in a fully equipped clean service vehicle. He had the valve replaced in less than an hour. Very pleased with his service and professionalism. If you have sprinkler issues, go with Dick's Sprinkler Repair. I had tried 2 other contractors: one never responded and the other said this job was too small. read more

Gerardo is the Steve Jobs of irrigation. Set me up with a Radius water system that I manage from my phone. It is hooked into the internet and will adjust watering based on the weather. Good work ethic and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend read more

Gerardo, who owns this business, is prompt, gracious, and repaired my failing Sprinkler system in a few hours. He guarantees his repair for six months, as well. I would not hesitate to use him again. read more

I've had Geraldo (company owner) over to my house twice and he's great, a super nice man. After troubleshooting my latest issue for more than an hour he was generous enough to show me how to fix the valve problem on my own (and he even gave me a few parts to help!). Where other vendors are hard to reach and rely on, I find Geraldo to be a step above and will use him again. read more

Gerardo came by this evening after his last appointment and repaired an incorrectly wired sprinkler valve. We now have a working irrigation system! He also walked me though the back yard and gave advice for how to care for our new tees. Would definitely call him again. read more
