“Colorado Cascade” not only doesn’t finish the job in fixing your sprinklers (which is why the valve was stuck on when you came back from vacation), but they don’t clean up after themselves very well (like leaving both your gates “down,” leading to one of them lying on a bunch of plants). And they charge you for return visits on the same zone. Get someone else to repair and blow your sprinklers.<\/p>\n
“Residential Services” (a\/k\/a “Mile Hi Services” — never trust anyone who ez-spells “High,” “Light” or “Easy”<\/i>) are those people with the annoying automated sales call about lawn aeration, etc. Even if your lawn is drying up and blowing away, do not use them. If you are not there, cash on hand, when they do the work (which they don’t mention at the time they confirm the appointment), then they will start calling you with an automated dunning message within a few days, twice a day, every day (UPDATE: Including Saturday Mornings)<\/i>, until someone in their accounting department notices that, hey, maybe they did actually send a check. They are rude and offer no unique service, so find someone else to do such things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
