I called Mr. Cress when our well pump died. I had previously called a different nation wide company, and they couldn't even locate our well. At noon, I removed the other company from our property and called Mr. Cress. 45 minutes after the call ended, he was there. Before nightfall (unlike the 3-4 days from the other company), we had water again. Professional, meticulous, and a generally decent individual. Add in that my final bill was 60% of what the big chain company quoted (with a better warranty) and I would recommend Mr. Cress to anyone and everyone. He flawlessly took care of what could have been an overwhelmingly painful experience.

After speaking to 2 other companies, and having one come out reverting us back to an electrician, spoke to James Cress, explained everything, said he'd be over in a few minutes after a few details weren't making sense. Came out, determined the issue; at this time, it was early evening, so he was able to schedule for the repair first thing in the morning before leaving town on another job. Him and another worker were able to resolve our issue, make our well up to NC code (we had a buried well), in less than 2hrs. Everything was explained well, and handled perfectly. Would definitely recommend, his expertise, friendliness, and empathy made a stressful situation easier to cope with as I felt everything would be taken care of, as it was.

James & son came by and solved the problem almost instantaneously. Once the original problem was solved, the system was tested. More issues needed resolution and these were solved. The team was knowledgeable, clean and efficient. Highly recommend.

Very professional. He knew what all may be needed for the job and it was on his truck when he showed up. No need to go to the store for a part.

We highly recommend James Cress Jr. Water Pump and Well Co. Very prompt response time, came to the house to evaluate our needs (well repair) and explained everything in detail that would be done & cost. The job was done almost immediately (longest wait was getting permits from county) Mr. Cress and his crew were very professional, cleaned the work area nicely and best of all, he's very affordable and does a wonderful job.

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
