We fired them
Description of Work: Rainmaker quoted us a lawn irrigation system for front and back yard. We hired them to do the work. 8 weeks later there still had been no work done. Each time they scheduled to come out they were no shows and did not bother to call. Each time we called them they had a new excuse for not showing up. Yet again they were supposed to start the work on June 3. Again they were no shows. When we tried to call their mailbox was full. Finally when we reached them we fired them. They were supposed to service the system after they installed it. We decided not to work with a company that was so unreliable.

Gary always handled doing our shut off for a fair price. But I apparently had him bite off too much given he had a bad leg and no decent help. Gary and a rookie helper did a decent size job installing a row of new heads. After the job was complete and I paid him, I noticed a short in the system it would intermittenly blink and one of the 8 stations no longer came on. That's when the fun started. Gary promised to fix it. One of the heads that was installed burst because his installer dug a hole in the middle of a root of a healthy tree. The tree of course grew, the root moved and the pipe burst. I called another company to fix that because I needed that station to work. I must have called Gary at least 20 times and he no showed at least 5 times before finally comming out to the house after 2 years. In the meantime I had paid him for one other repair and at least one shut off. When he came out he couldn't find one of the stations undergrown because he didn't have a locator. That was the last time I saw or heard from him. It would have been so much more helpful if he told me after doing the job and realizing it was botched if he just told me he was struggling and couldn't afford to fix his mistake. I did offer to dig the trench for a new wire from one station to the down station myself to save him the worst part of the job.
Description of Work: Gary Cooper was doing my sprinkler repair and shut off for several years. I put up with his lack of responsiveness and a couple of no shows because he was cheaper than the big guys and he did know my system.

They were prompt and drip irrigation is the only way to go. I can target specific areas. They were detailed and competitive. I used somebody else because they were booked up. It is very detailed and expensive. The price will depend on the size.
Description of Work: Rainmaker Incorporated gave me an estimate for drip irrigation for the garden.

Rainmaker was recommended to me by a friend. Gary Cooper is one of the principals and he services my sprinkler. I use them twice a year and repairs as needed. They are on time, reasonably priced, and do what needs to be done and then some. They are competent. I have recommended them to other people already.
Description of Work: Rainmaker Inc. services our sprinkler system, providing fall shut down and spring opening, with repairs as needed. They are scheduled to do my opening soon.

They are very timely and did exactly what we wanted them to do. They are also very courteous and professional.
Description of Work: They turned on our system, checked it, and fixed a sprinkler head. They also gave a report stating that system was in working order, for the purpose of selling our home.

You shouldn t make promises you can t keep and brush potential new clientele aside. No job is too small or too big when you are trying to stay in business and keep a good standing and reputation. This company has very poor communication and does not respect people s needs.
Description of Work: I gave Rainmaker Inc. a call and told them I needed a small sprinkler repair and to winterize the pipes. I was then told that they are very busy and that someone was going to call me back and schedule to come out in the next couple of days. Someone did call back and said the repair would cost less than $100 to fix and he would try and fit us in in the next two days. Well! That never happened! Instead, my husband called Rainmaker Inc. back and had to leave a voicemail and they never called back and never showed up. To me it was like saying, sorry, but I m too busy for your small repair; I have bigger jobs to do. I will not be calling Rainmaker Inc. for any kind of service in the future.

The job was delayed by a week and a half. When they did start, they had it done in two days. He also corrected the system in the front by adding different sprinkler heads to provide better coverage. He made a point to clean up the area.
Description of Work: I had a sprinkler system installed in my backyard, they had to lay lines, trench, and they connected to the existing system in the front yard.
