Skillings & Sons

Water pressure was an issue as soon as we moved into our house. We had intermittent spikes in pressure regardless of whether or not we were using increased volume of water. We chalked it up to ""what happens with a well"" as we never had one before.

Of course, that all changed quickly. I was away for work and I received a call that there is zero water pressure at the house. I called Skillings about 5 minutes after office hours started, and was immediately transferred to someone. They were incredibly polite, and said they would have someone there that day.

The technician was incredibly nice, and explained what we needed - and what we didn't currently need. That alone was a breath of fresh air. Within 2 hours we had an entirely new expansion tank and filtration system. The workmanship is excellent, and the space was cleaner than before he started. Also the water pressure is MUCH better!

Can't say enough about the staff, and how prompt and polite they were. When it comes time to do any additional work - which we inevitably will - they will be the only call I make.

A company is only as good as the people. And this is what makes Skillings & Sons such a good company. Mark Suprenant has always been professional. He has been to our residence here in Dunstable on several occastions. His techs were both pleasant and professional. We would highly recommend them to our friends and neighbors. Thanks and kudos to the team!!!

I am the owner of a small preschool and kindergarten, and this company has been my ""go-to"" for a number of years. The people that I have dealt with have been helpful, knowledgeable, and competitive in their pricing. When I had a problem with my pump last summer, they came immediately and got us up and running again remarkably quickly, in spite of the many demands they must have had due to the dreadfully dry summer we were experiencing. Can't say enough good things about them.

Great to work with and quality work completed. Best quote after talking to 6 different well companies. Job well done(no pun intended) and my water could be bottled and sold when they finished! Thank you guys!

Woke up to no water at all and we have been having issues leading up to this. Called in the morning and they were out that afternoon. Friendly, honest, and quick (they charge labor by the hour). Within 10 mins they knew it was my pump and within an hour it was replaced. More than what I wanted to spend but overall was not bad price wise. The only thing I would have liked them to discuss what they are going to do and how much it will cost before they start doing the work. what if it was something I could not afford and they did all that work and I got the bill at the end not knowing how much it was going to be. Besides that they were great!!

They were SO helpful! Curtis and Jon came over because our well pump was broken, and they took the time to make sure we understood what the problem was and the steps they'd take to fix it. We're brand new homeowners and couldn't believe our pump broke in the first two weeks we were there. They totally felt for us, and kindly didn't make fun of us when we didn't know where our well was. :) We will ABSOLUTELY do business with them again!

Be very careful when dealing with this company. Not only are they late on all their appointments but the techs always have an attitude problem. At their last visit here, all that we needed done was to have the filters for our well pump moved to the other side of the basement CLOSER to the pump, and the tech got all pissed off like we were asking him to dig a new well or something. Very poor customer service. Last week they were servicing my neighbors pump and system. They were supposed to be there at 1500 and didn't show up until 1800, so you know he was already in a hurry. I was out riding bikes with my family when he decided to back out of the driveway at full speed without even looking. I pulled my son out of the way, but accidentally fell of my bike and hit the pavement shoulder first, breaking my collar bone. It just goes to show how ""timely"" they are.

Woke up to no water. As In started to smell from no shower, my wife said call someone. Luckily we called Skillings and Sond and Greg and Jeff wasted no time getting us water. I smell much better now. They were fast and efficient and a pleasure to work with.

Poor service, high price, arrogant, rude. I wanted the Skillings person just to test the water flow rate in my well. He was rude from the start, said that he charged by the hour and it may take about an hour- four 1/2 hours later after he took my pump and piping out and drained my well, he said my flow rate was way too low (which I found out later was wrong and total BS) and all my systems should be replaced, and LUCKILY he had all the parts/pumps on his truck. I said no to the $1950 ""estimate"" and after putting everything back he gave me a bill for $569! He also said my indoor pump was garbage and undersized and needed to be replaced. Funny, since it was a Skillings pump bought by the previous owner (Skillings label was on the back of the pump).

Nice website about Mom and Pop business and advertises on NPR; don't be fooled- they just want your money. Stay away!

Skillings is very good if you use well water. They are not only quick to respond in emergencies, they are open about educating about some do it yourself items. In addition to the general service and maintenance of our well they also provide testing to make sure water is good quality. We are a regular customer.
