JW KERNS Inc Reviews
Based on 36 Google reviews, this contractor has an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars.
Great local shop. It's my go to for my sprinkler system. The staff really knows there stuff and really go above and beyond to help fix your problem. Most importantly they helped me fix my failing valve by suggesting a rebuild kit not a whole new valve. Thank you for saving me money when…
Paul Walker is awesome to work with. He knows every aspect of pivot systems. He is a wealth of knowledge.
I was able to pick up parts for a friend after hours. I went in with an odd request and they had a solution for me.
