I could not thank ODay Drilling enough for the quality of work they did and in the time frame in which it was completed. Our Well had major issues after the freeze and we went 26 days without water and were dealing a previous horrible well company, we finally called around and got in contact with ODay and Paul was able to fit us in which we are so grateful for. The entire crew was awesome and extremely knowledgeable on water wells and did an impeccable job getting us back to running water in our home. Thank you Paul, Theodore, Sam and Duvy for all the help! I highly recommend ODay Drilling

Returned my call quickly and was very helpful. They dug a 500ft water well for me 15 years ago and this is the first time calling them with a problem. Turns out the there wasn't even a problem with the well. Solid work.

Extremely pleased with this company. When we suddenly lost water pressure I called ODay Drilling to try to schedule s service call. The woman who answered the phone was very friendly, but said they were booked up for the day. She said shed have the service manager give me a call and try to get someone out the next day. Paul called us a couple hours later and actually walked us thru a fix to the wells wiring! We were absolutely thrilled to have it working again so quickly and at no charge! I will definitely use them again should we have more well issues.

I don't normally write reviews, but in this case the service that I received was extraordinary.
Paul went above and beyond the call of duty. Paul took time to talk me through a solution to my problem on Sunday, a day that he is normally not working. This was true customer service
While this was not a job that generated revenue, Paul and the O'Day company has a customer for life and someone that will refer all of their neighbors to the O'Day company
