its hard to say whats wrong with your well,,,,,,,,,
here are a few options to check
1 have the filter checked in the well , these should be cleaned every year or so.
2 check the pressure gauge and pressure bell , that could be going out , depending on your pump they do go out sometimes,
3 check the pump it self it sometimes freezes up if the pump itself is faulty in some way.

if the weather had been dry and your in dought times it sometimes makes the water table drop also ,,,,,,,,, and theres pretty much nothing you can do about that except wait for more rain,,,,,,,,, you can try dropping the pipe but thats no guarente that you be able to get your pressure back , you ll need a stronger pump in that case ,,,,,,,,

as for the drillers , stay with the origional one , if its the pump and they put it in it should have some kind of warrenty and they are the ones who will have to fix it......
and the other one is just trying to get you to drill a new well elseware , most companies will not charge you to drill at new well prices on an existing well
they are just trying to get what they can,,,,,,,,, you should check your local water control testing site and see what they say also
and i would check other drillers also , there are usually many others out there and its free to get their opinions.
also most wells are recommended to be drilled to 5oo feet , i had my drilled to 750
cause our water tables in the higher levels tend to smell and tasted eggy , and sulfulerish.
hopes this helps
