Rainmaker Irrigation, Inc.

Badly. The Rainmaker technician came out and did not examine our system and did not want to hear the sound. He called a more experienced technician who told him that the problem was with the plumbing in our house. our trusted plumber came out and changed the regular in our house as recommended. This did nonstop the banging. The plumber also checked all our other valves and tried to determine what else could be wrong with our plumbing that could be causing our problem. and also checked all the other valves. We called Rainmaker back and told them the sound only happened when the irrigation turned on and off. We asked to have another Rainmaker technician come out and re-evaluate the situation. We were told that it was not the irrigation and to contact our plumber again. So we found another irrigation service on Angie's list who came out and diagnosed our problem as a faulty valve in the main irrigation line. They quickly fixed the problem.

Irregation system was installed for their convenience and heads are not properly place to evenly cover the yard and not even out to the property line in two places where I had told them I would trim the shrubbery back so they could install it properly. Contract instructions to bring in 5-10 yards top soil were not followed, and no leveling or grading equipment was used. Contractor use 3-5 yard of clay for fill and then skimmed less than an inch of "Soil3" as top soil for the sod. About 6 cubic yards.

They were prompt and courteous. Even adjusted something with no complaint.

Just fine. They came quickly and did not mess up the yard. Work was done by owners. They take pride in their company. Prices are very fair.

They did a great job but due to health issues the man who runs the place did not do maintenance on it. I was pleased with their work though.

They actually showed up earlier than originally scheduled which worked well for us. We knew we had three zones that were already leaking (one that started at the end of the season last year) but the technician determined (and showed us) that a fourth one was also leaking. He got right to work, showed us the parts that were causing the problems and completed the repairs within about one hour's time. We had used Rainmaker once before and would use them again.

Saturday night I noticed a gurgling coming from the water meter hole at the street. Not knowing what to do I called the water company. They came and said it was the sprinkler line and wasn't there problem; I needed a plumber. The plumber told me I needed a sprinkler person. I used Angies list to find sprinkler repair person who did emergency work on the weekend. Of the 6 that I called only two responded and Irrigation was the quickest. I have still not heard from the others. Joe called me within an hour and gave me the name of his repair technician telling me he would be out by 9:30 in the morning.... Sunday morning, no less. I also received a confirmation email to that effect. Brad arrived and was communicative and courteous. Inspite of freezing temperatures and water... Brad took care of the problem efficiently and effectively removing a myriad of tree roots that caused the problem and repairing the pipe. In addition, given this was an emergency I would have expected the and quot;normaland quot; price gouging but this did not happen. The price was very reasonable for the emergency service. I would recommend this company many times over.

We're happy with them. They put in the sprinkler system and we call them once a year to turn it off in the winter and once in the Spring to check on it. They were the least expensive but they offered the most for the money and what they're doing. They also had guarantees and the other companies did not.

Their service was adequate. They were really good. Their price was reasonable.

I was told by Daniel, the tech, who did no examination, that the water I saw was from rain. Not true, as I continue to detect water filling up in French drains that I had installed in the middle of the driveway where the sprinklers were plugged. As far as a separate zone, Daniel told me to water everyday for 2 minutes instead, which was unhelpful watering for a garden. As far as moving the sprinklers on the side of the house, I was first told the grass would never grow there, b/c of lack of sunlight. In my garage, I had inserts to the sprinklers which I was going to insert to extend the direction of the spray (this is very easy to do). Daniel told me that he could install them and the grass would get water that way. I left for work and when I checked later, one of the inserts was on the ground beside the sprinkler. The grass is still not getting enough water and the wooden timbers around the bed are constantly getting wet and will eventually rot b/c the sprinklers were not moved. When I called back to complain, Daniel said they could not be moved, which I knew was untrue. Daniel said I had good coverage with the sprinklers but when I started using them 2 months later, one sprinkler was not rotating completely and I had a brown patch, because of it. My opinion was that the company is looking for a quick buck on easy fixes. They do many service calls in one days, as the technician acknowledged this. There service call is $110, which is high.
