My gardener recommended Mr. Rain. Mr. Rain immediately came to our home, reviewed the lawn and provided a bid. No waiting here, Mr. Rain has been doing this a long time and he knows exactly what he is talking about. He doesn't promise anything he cannot deliver. Once our gardener was finished grading the lawn, Mr. Rain came in and installed the system in a single day. He provided me with a great overview of the system and insured that I was comfortable with the system and knew exactly how to work it. You will be missing out on a great system and great service if you do not hire Mr. Rain, so future customers, look no further, Mr. Rain is your company.
Description of Work: Mr. Rain is wonderful. Very professional and clearly has top notch products. We installed a new sprinkler system and it is absolutely wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our system.

Five homes in our neighborhood have underground sprinkler systems. Since winter is coming, we need to blow the water out of the pipes. We contracted with Mr. Rain to blow the water out of the pipes. In one morning in mid October, they came and did the work. Everything went fine. Shane was courteous and friendly. He did a very good job.

The owner came by himself and did the job. He said that he will do two rounds for each zone and that is why he did not completely dry off each zone and took less than normal time for each zone. However, after completing the first round, for the second round, none of the zones' sprinkler pop up. After playing around with some stuff and unsuccessfully making to the second round, he decided that it is not necessary to do the second round and pack up his stuff. When he was asked why, he just said that he does not know why the sprinklers do not want to pop up and believed that they are dry enough. That is just does not cut it for me.

Due to health issues, we realized this week that we never got the sprinkler system blown out. Being the end of October, it was hard to find someone still willing to do so. When I called Mr. Rain, they were very nice and Luke came out with 48 hours. He answered a lot of questions and took care of the winterizing. Every one was great to deal with. Price was very reasonable. Would recommend highly.

They were very nice to work with. They gave me a list of things to check. I checked and was able to discover the problem and fixed it. It was an easy fix. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I called them because my sprinkler heads were not popping up which led me to belief that I had a water pressure problem. I called them several times and they were able to solve my problems over the phone.

My experience with them was very good overall because they are priced right and they took the time to answer my questions and see if I had any other questions. They were honest about what actually needed to be done. I will definitely use them again.
Description of Work: They came and they replaced the sprinkler head in my yard. There were probably two broken heads that they replaced.

My experience with Mr. Rain and his company has been one of the very best I have ever had with any company. He is honest, responsive, really knows his stuff and has an excellent crew. I feel like we got a great value for a top of the line system.
Description of Work: "Mr. Rain" installed our new sprinkler system as part of a larger landscaping project. We had an old system with the hard pvc piping which had cracked from years of neglect from the previous owners. He designed a new Hunter system with rain sensors, etc., for the front and backyard. The backyard involved a lot of "hand digging" as they could not get the machine in to automatically pull the poly piping. His crew did an excellent job and the price was very reasonable.

Wow, what can I say, if you want professionalism, experience, ethics, promptness, and quality then Mike, Cheryl and his job foreman (sorry can't remember his name) are the team for you. From the initial contact with Cheryl for scheduling the free estimate to Mike coming to our house where his extensive experience quickly knew how, where and why to lay everything out, to his job foreman of 13 years who was very conscientious, polite and quickly installed the Hunter system, it was a wonderful carefree process. They went over everything with us on how to run, clean, maintain, and get the most from the system. Not withstanding the above, the main reason I would recommend them is their politeness, responsiveness and customer service. After installation, there were a couple of spots that were not getting coverage in our flower gardens. Cheryl had arrangements to get it resolved almost before I hung up the phone. The next day Mike's foreman was here to adjust the system, clean out a few heads, and actually added a head after we realized I missed where some flowers were located and needed to be covered. Without reservation, I would emphatically recommend Mike, Cheryl and their foreman collectively known as Mr. Rain to anyone interested in a quality irrigation system!
Description of Work: They installed an 8 zone sprinkler system covering our entire lawn and approximately 6 separate flower gardens in Eagan.

The owner, Mike and his wife Cheryl were spectacular throughout the entire process. Mike was even available to meet me on Saturday for the initial proposal (where he actually showed me the components and controller) and also for training after the system was installed. They followed up with me several times to see how my job site was coming along and scheduled my installation immediately when I was ready. My contractor broke a few of the sprinkler heads with the bobcat and also severed one of the water lines and Mike replaced them at no charge - truly unbelievable! I would whole-heartedly recommend Mr. Rain to anyone. Call them without hesitation!

Failed to properly repair a leak and billed for the service. I did not pay the bill for the repair and asked for the leak to be fixed prior to payment. Claimed it was my fault for not reporting the failed service. I was certain my wife called about the leak not being repaired properly. I just paid the bill anyway and I will look for another service provider to repair the leak. Otherwise they did a good job winterizing.

He was very knowledgeable. He was able to compare his quote to another company's quote and explain the difference. The installation was done when we were gone and when we came home we were a little upset with the lawn's condition. We then called him and they came out and fixed it. He wanted us to be satisfied and he made sure we were.

We moved to a house with a sprinkler system and there was a broken head and a pipe that leaked. I called Mr. Rain and they came out within a week. They fixed the broken head and tested and adjusted all my heads ($131.40). They attempted to fix the leaking pipe, although the next day we found it leaked even more. There were also some problems programming my system, although we also have had problems ourselves trying to figure it out. The next day (they sent someone very promptly to correct the error) another guy came out and I think his name was Shawn and he was really good, he even took off his shoes when he walked thru my house which I REALLY appreciate. He fixed the broken pipe and it did not leak anymore after he left. That trip cost $42.48. I'd use this company again to winterize and for any other problems with the system.
Description of Work: Fix broken sprinkler head, make sure system works (we just moved and house was unoccupied for up to a year), and fix leaking exterior pipe.

The representative came out to our home and measured the front and back yards to determine how many sprinkler units would be needed. He then made an appointment with us to return and install the units and the system, he told he expected to be finished with the job in one day. He returned at the time that we scheduled with four other workers and went right to work. They were very polite and clean, they also finished on time. I was very pleased with the end result and since then they have returned for scheduled maintenance. They always show up on time and are very proactive. They call us to schedule maintenance, which is great because we would have forgotten. My husband and I have recommended them to friends and family.

Very nice on the phone, they were able to arrange for service to be provided within a week. Service tech arrived at the agreed-upon time, did the work quickly and efficiently and was polite. Air compressor equipment by its nature is very noisy, so be aware of this (if there are kids around, etc.).

Job 1: Difficulty getting the job scheduled, due mostly to my work schedule, I had a date set w/Mike Nagle. In order for Mike to stick closely to his busy installation schedule & b/c heavy rain was forecast, they started the job the afternoon before they were supposed to. I wasn't home & unable to help direct sprinkler placement. As a result, 2 sprinkler heads had to be moved once the rain ceased & work resumed, but Mike's crew did this happily. The foreman, Luke, was very attentive to our needs & careful around our fussy landscaping. I forgot to mark an electric line buried, Luke found it while pulling pipe underground & Luke's experience told him something wasn't right so he stopped what he was doing & asked me if there was anything underground in the vicinity that hadn't been marked. Well done all! Job 2: I made the reservation aftr receiving the reminder card in the mail & got the appt of my choosing. Mike arrived early & was done in under 45 mins. Good work!
Description of Work: Job 1: Installed Hunter irrigation system consisting of twenty spray and six rotor sprinkler heads, five electric valves, a pressure vacuum breaker, SRC + automatic controller, and (ET) sensor and module.($3200). Job 2: Winterize my lawn sprinkler system.($70.)

Came out when promised, started at 8am finished by 1pm. Had to come back a couple times to replace 2 heads that wouldn't pop up and to replace/re-splice the cable from the control box after it somehow ended up with some damage, sort of like a critter would make. Overall, I am happy with the work and love not having to move sprinklers around manually anymore.
Description of Work: Installed Home irrigation system for 7 zones with a wireless rain sensor. Timer installed in the garage.
