What this service usually includes

Most sprinkler/irrigation system requests start with a quick scope check, then move into diagnosis, repair or replacement work, access and setup time, and cleanup after the work is complete. The exact mix depends on the age of the home, the condition of the affected system, and whether hidden issues are uncovered during the visit.

  • Repair broken head/line
  • Install new system
  • Winterize/Startup
  • Controller/Timer issue
  • Startup / tune-up
  • Winterize / blowout

Typical cost range

For many San Francisco Bay Area homeowners, smaller sprinkler/irrigation system jobs can start around $150, a more typical scope lands near $425, and more involved work can reach $7,000. Final pricing still depends on site conditions, access, fixture or material choices, and whether the scope expands after inspection.

What changes the price most
