We got a quote from Hall and Jenkins late last summer to drill a well for our new construction. They said all along that they would complete the job. Last fall they said to wait until winter so that the ground would freeze before drilling. I have been in contact with the company on a weekly basis checking in. In a couple instances, one of the employees spent an entire phone conversation complaining to me about the weather conditions and how he didn't know how he would get the job done. He promptly called back apologizing and explaining that he's ""never let a job go before and won't let it happen this time."" At this point, I felt reassured. I called in January to confirm that the first 2 weeks of February would be a good time to drill the well and all was good, except he wanted the land smoothed out in the potential well spot. We paid a contractor to do this and on the day that the well was supposed to be drilled, I get a phone message from Hall and Jenkins saying that he will not do the well after all and to find someone new and to ""have a great weekend."" I am extremely disappointed that we were strung along this entire 6 + months only to find out on the day of service that we have to find a new contractor. I strongly discourage people looking for a well contractor to look elsewhere and to not do business with Hall and Jenkins.
