A little background informantion.
My name is Blane Callen. I have owned and operated CMG Sprinklers and Drains since 1993.
CMG Is the first letter of my 3 kids first names. (Chance / Melissa / Garrett)
We install French Drains and Surface Drains when it is wet, and Sprinkler Systems and Sprinkler Repair when it is Dry
I rarely accept money up front for any job. I get paid when my customer is happy. The exception occurs on very large jobs. In this case I charge for parts up front. The parts are delivered directly to the customer's home by my parts supplier. The customer gets a copy of the parts invoice and all parts stay at the customer's home till the completion of the job.
