Roth Well out of Moultonborough... back six years ago they had the best price.... The came did the work, hit water, realized that the flow wasn't adequate even though it meat the minimum spec. they had told us they would at least achieve, and drilled further to make sure the flow rate was right, for the system design which feeds two separate camps... Well six years later, we feed to camps off one well, never have any issue, except for extremely cold water....

An additional not about these guys. At the time, the didn't charge by the foot. They charged by the job. Even though they had to drill some 150' further then expected they didn't change the fee. The owner at that time, said the data from other wells in the area said he should have only need X number of feet and that is what he priced the bid for. His comment. Some bids I hit adequate water early, and other I have to drill further. It all comes out in the wash. But this way there was no surprise.

Also because our installation is seasonal. They installed the well. Came back in the fall, showed us how to shut it down for the winter. And then came back in the spring and showed us how to get it all going again.

Assuming they still operate under the same system I can't image any other company doing a better job.
