Granite Drilling Company Inc

I have had the honor of being the operator and manager for the Santa Lucia Preserve water system for the 16 years of it’s existence. I have worked with many well drillers during this time and even longer as I previously worked on the development of Monterra and Tehema from their inception. In that these systems are totally dependent on well water as their sources, I have worked with numerous well drillers from all over the state of California. Without a doubt Granite Drilling and specifically the owner Mike is the best well driller I know. They are my preferred driller. Well construction is very complicated. It has many facets that a lay person could not foresee. It is an expensive gamble. No driller or hydrogeologist can guarantee success. To achieve the highest percentage of success I sincerely recommend Granite Drilling. Mike is extremely knowledgeable and he takes great pride in his work. You can tell how conscientious they are by seeing how well maintained his equipment is kept. He listens to your needs and will make the extra effort to get the best for you.

BUYER BEWARE: PRODUCT SUB-​STANDARD, OWNER UNETHICAL — After 2 months in my new home I started to experience problems with the new well. The well malfunctioned many times and seemed to quit. I contacted Granite Drilling & spoke to Mike G., the owner. He had personally drilled the well at my property a little over a year ago. First thing he said was «sorry about the bad well», that it wasn’t really his fault & he wanted to «make things right» because he was «honest, trustworthy, led by his conscience» adding «his reputation as a driller was on the line». He said he worked for me & my family and would be here to help «make things right» for as long as it took. Mike said I would be forced to move from my home if I didn’t drill a new well but that he could do that right away & so solve my «bad well» problems. When I asked him to jot down a brief history of the «bad well», so I could recover some cost for re-​drilling from insurance, he totally changed his story — the story he had repeated multiple times to me, my family, realtors and others. I guess Mike G’s conscience took a holiday. Wonder if Mike G. will lie under oath. This guy seems to be motivated by greed not conscience. BUYER BEWARE: recently Mike G. threatened to sue if I let this review stay. I admit to being intimidated at first but I am letting this review stand because every word is true.
