What to ask when shopping for a new sprinkler system installation quote...

Don't always think that the cheapest is the best deal. In addition don't think the most expensive is the best quality...
When it comes to new irrigation system installation...
You should first make sure the person or company is licensed. In the state of Texas irrigation system design, installation, modification and repairs are regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality { TCEQ }. You can ask for their license number and look it up on the TCEQ website. Next does the person or company have Commercial Liability Insurance. You can ask them for a copy of their ACORD CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE. Normal coverage for the Irrigation Industry is $1 million to $2 million in policy limits. Now, if you do hire them ask them to place you as a certificate holder. This protects you, your family, and your property. In addition, what is the Warranty on the project and have them give it to you in writing. The Irrigation industry has recently changed by local and state regulators. For example in 2003 the state of Texas passed a bill that requires all new irrigation system installers (Licensed Irrigators) to provide homeowners with a Design Plan before and an "AS-Built" Plan after project completion. I will explain the importance on my next post. Also local municipalities have several requirements. For example, the city of San Antonio, TX on September of 2022 revised it's irrigation system services requirements. So make sure to do your research.
