I called a few well drillers in grand county and got a few high quotes then called James drilling. They were very reasonable and and charged what they quoted me. I will agree with one of the previous reviews that the women on the phone and first point of contact is not the most pleasant to speak with, but we moved forward anyway. I'm happy we did because Jordan and the crew drilling the well were great, very accommodating and did a good job on our new well. I will use them again. Thanks

Interviewed numerous drillers for my well. Far and away, the most knowledgeable and professional. Found out they drill most of the wells in the mountain communities. Very professional office and field staff. Highly recommend!

I called to get some information about drilling a well in El Paso county or Douglas County, because it clearly stated on there website that they work in this area. Woman on the phone was incredibly rude and unprofessional. She practically hung up on me after shortly stating they don't work in that area. Update your website info and customer service needs to be checked because that was awful.
