We have always done business with Wragg Brothers out of Vermont. Being a larger remodeling company we have used a few different vendors but Wragg takes the cake. They have serviced storage systems at a couple of mountain top houses we built and even two years out have not charged for the service (warranty items) which is nice cause that is the same period as our warranty, so we would have eaten the costs. As far as price the last well we did and this would be your worse case senario (most times) was an allowance of $4800.00 for the well, had an additional 105 feet at $9.00 per, additional 20 feet of casing at $13.00 per, and then had to hydrofrag at 405 feet to get from 3/4 GPM to 15 GPM at a cost of $1500.00 to total cost of $7505.00. Now this pricing is from 2005. We do not build many houses anymore, more fun to fix the old ones, but it will give you an idea of the high range of the ballpark. Do not let the distance of any well company bother you as there are not very many around.
If you want a clear indication of how the house building market is doing call a well company and ask if they are busy, if any one says no than lace up you boots cause it is gettin deep (2006)

. Hope this helps.
