THE 10-POINT QUALITY STANDARD
Ten practical commitments that put customers first. Our proposed certification requires evidence for every one—not just a checked box.
Showing all 10 standards
Current business identity, liability coverage, and any locally required licenses are documented and checked.
Business records, current insurance certificate, and applicable local licensing or permit requirements.
Clear appointment windows, timely updates, and an accessible point of contact from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Written response and scheduling policies, sample customer communications, and customer references.
The scope, labor, materials, service fees, and payment terms are explained before work begins.
Sample estimates showing itemized costs, exclusions, service-call fees, and customer approval.
Changes are explained and authorized before they add cost. Final invoices match the agreed work.
Change-order policy, approval records, and sample invoices reconciled to estimates and approved changes. Fair pricing means transparency, not a price cap.
Technicians can diagnose problems and explain pressure, coverage, controllers, and the right repair—not just replace parts.
Training records, relevant professional credentials if held, and a documented technical assessment using sample irrigation scenarios.
Watering plans consider soil, plant needs, weather, and system efficiency to help avoid unnecessary water use.
Sample watering schedules, site assessments, and recommendations addressing leaks, overspray, sensors, and controller settings.
Work follows applicable local requirements, including backflow protection, safe excavation, and appropriate system components.
Safety procedures, utility-location practices, and permit or backflow records where required. Specialized regulated work must use appropriately authorized professionals.
Crews protect the site, test the completed work, clean up, and explain how to operate and maintain your system.
Jobsite procedures, completion checklists, documented system tests, and customer handoff materials.
Written warranty terms and a clear complaint process help customers know who to call and what happens next.
Warranty documents, follow-up policies, references, and complaint-resolution records. A program badge would not guarantee every job.
Ongoing education and annual program review keep knowledge current and quality commitments active.
Annual training records and renewed evidence for all ten criteria. Lapsed or unmet requirements would suspend the listing until resolved.
Every point matters. The same standard for every applicant.
A BADGE SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING
Our proposed review process puts proof before promotion. A listing fee would never replace meeting the standard.
Provide business documents, training records, sample estimates, and customer references against all ten criteria.
Designated reviewers evaluate the evidence. Every requirement must pass, with gaps resolved before approval.
Approved providers would receive a dated listing and renew annually. Unresolved quality issues can lead to suspension.
Program in development. Review governance, fees, and final policies will be published before certification opens.
ROOTED IN NEBRASKA
Meet the specialist at the center of our Nebraska launch: Sprinkler Irrigation Services, serving Omaha and surrounding communities.
Our proposed founding designation: Nebraska’s first certified irrigation specialist in the Certified Sprinklers program. Certification will be issued only after the program review is complete.
Omaha & surrounding areas, Nebraska
Founding relationship: this program is being developed with Sprinkler Irrigation Services. Separate branding does not imply an independent third-party endorsement.
A LITTLE MORE CLARITY
No. Certified Sprinklers is a proposed private quality program. It is not a government license, an Irrigation Association credential, or an EPA WaterSense endorsement. Any existing professional credentials must be verified and listed separately.
No. It refers only to the intended first approved Nebraska provider in our new program. Other companies and professionals may already hold established irrigation certifications. The founding provider’s Certified Sprinklers certification is currently pending.
Under the proposed standard, fees would cover review or listing administration—not approval. Every applicant, including the founding provider, would need to supply evidence for all ten criteria. Fees and reviewer conflict-of-interest rules are not yet finalized.
It gives you clearer questions to ask before hiring: who is doing the work, what it costs, how the system will perform, and what support follows. Always confirm current insurance, applicable licensing, scope, and warranty terms directly with your provider.
FOR COMPANIES THAT CARE ABOUT THEIR CRAFT
If these ten commitments sound like the way you do business,
