We had purchased a big deal for the service, and they came out and looked at the roof and gave us a quote to fix it. I didn't hire them. It took a while to get a hold of them, and when they finally came out, I had to remind them to give me a quote, which they eventually did.
Description of Work: We used Rain Leak Solutions. They did a roof inspection.

I had a roof leak that damaged a bedroom wall and baseboard. The leak was fixed and I was given a 2 year warranty on the work. A year later to the day the leak is back in the exact same place as before damaging the exact same wall and baseboard. Since there was a 2 year warranty in place I called for them to come back and relook at the leak. They told me they would call back and schedule a time to come out but of course I have not heard from them to this day. I called again a week later for them to come out and relook at the leak but was only able to leave a voice msg. Still have not heard from them. I'm in the process of looking for another repair company as I will not be using Rain Leak Solutions again.

I was trying to get to you and honor your warranty! Sorry I didn't get there quick enough! I don't know who you called to fix that very complex water intrusion problem but I'll bet you 1.00 they didn't get it fixed right! I would have gotten there and found the problem and we'd all be happy with stellar reviews with maybe one more phone call! Remember half of my phone calls come in when I'm hanging from a rope or on a ladder!

Randy did a good job caulking and sealing the windows, chimney and deck. Within a few months, I had some water damage coming in from the door to the upper deck. I also needed some shingles replaced on my roof. he offered to repair the Sheetrock damage under his warranty and reseal the door. Problem was, his helper didn't want to go up on the roof because of the wind, and he was snowed under trying to cover all of the requests for the $69 home inspections at a time when some of his key help quit. Randy indicated that he was about ready to go out of business and get into bathroom remodeling. I had to go elsewhere to get the work finished. he can run a helluva bead of caulk though.

We had a lot of issues with his website and getting an appointment scheduled online. We were able to get the appointment scheduled over the phone. We were waiting expectantly, but he never showed up for the appointment to do the work. We had to go out of town, but upon returning to town, we found that he had not tried to contact us regarding the missed appointment. We have left several messages asking him to contact us, but have not received any further response from him. We are disappointed with type service.

I tried and left several messages while we were in your area with the crew. You and several other Angie's list members never bothered to respond to our messages to let us know when we could meet with you while we were in your area of town. Other members were great and got their work done! My schedule cannot be set by each individual homeowner in every other part of town. To preserve gas I needed to group as many as possible together. Sorry we missed each other.

I purchased the coupon special. I was contacted by provider that they were aware of my purchase and that they would contact me by a certain date since they were scheduling appointments so they could take care of everyone in order.Theybcalled by phone and gave optional dates of their availability. An appointment date and time was set. They showed up on time,completed the work. We were very impressed with thir timeliness and professionalism. JH
Description of Work: Replaced all the weather stripping on all of our doors.We wanted it taken care of before summer. They had offered a special on AngiesList and I decided to use it. The price was fair and the timeliness of the scheduled date was handled very efficiently.

I have rarely been so disappointed in a provider before, especially because Randy was a very nice guy when I met him. For all those people who paid $69 and didn't get any service, count your lucky stars that it wasn't more! Take a close look at his responses to negative reviews. He is full of excuses (no office manager, overbooked schedule, poor helpers, alcoholic brother) and notice that he does not accept responsibility for his actions/inactions. If you have a stubborn leak, do not look to Randy to fix it.
Description of Work: We have had a persistent leak in our attic for years. That's why Randy's "specialty" of fixing leaks was appealing to me. He first came out in fall of 2011, after some delays. I was OK with the delays because he said he had been overwhelmed with customers. He was very personable and seemed to know what he was talking about. He assessed the roof, and recommended other changes as well. Being the gullible type, I signed up for it all! Randy performed the work around the house, including the roof "repair" and then we just had to wait for a rainstorm to see whether or not the leak was fixed. With the first big rainstorm after the repair, we discovered the leak was not only still there, but worse. I contacted Randy multiple, multiple times and finally badgered him into coming back again. He was not quite as nice, but he did do some work on the roof. Next big rainstorm, still leaking. I contacted Randy again, as he guarantees his work, but have had no repsonse from him since that time. So, two years later, with many phone calls and emails to Randy, the leak is NOT fixed.

My excuses are the truth unfortunately. Maybe I'm more truthful than I should be in these reviews. You really need to come down here in the trenches and try to hire some of these people and help them with a job only to be let down time after time! I know as the business owner I am suppose to shoulder all of the blame but quite frankly it boils down to the fact that I'm tired of taking the blame for other peoples actions. I know the work I do is good and regarding your chimney I tried to fix the leak three times but I will not rebuild your chimney and reroof your house for you for $400.00! The 1,700.00 was for sealing 23 windows, replacing the front door threshold and weather stripping on 4 doors and a complete roof preventive maintenance! Do you notice how that extra "truth" changes the whole picture? I'll be happy to tear everything apart and fix the chimney leak but it will come with an extra cost.

He had a large selection (about 20) of colors or mortar to match my existing mortar. He completed the work in four hours. He was very knowledgeable and efficient and his communication was very good and the repairs have held up and I am happy with the work he did.
Description of Work: They worked on one side of the house where there was a crack between the mortar into the foundation. The foundation was fine but was there a small crack in the mortar in between some bricks. He also repaired/relocated the corner of a stone edging wall and repaired cracks in the stone edging wall.

This repair job was intiated with the purchase of an Angie's List deal for Masonry repair. Initially, we received several calls apologizing for the delay in coming out to assess the work needed because of the unexpected volume of response to the coupon. Once they came out to see what we needed done, we again waited several weeks for the work to be scheduled. The guy that did came out was very friendly and made legitimate recommendations (we needed caulking repaired and weren't planning on doing that, too - but agreed that it needed to be done). The caulking work was fine (at masonry repair rates). The masonry work that we needed - primarily grouting - was performed by the guy that did the quote and a "helper". Everything looked fine visually, when they left, but when I went around the house to inspect a little more closely, First think I saw was that a lot of areas weren't repaired. I paid hourly so that didn't bother me too much. But then I noticed a lot of sand around the brick where some of the repairs were made. When I touched the "repaired" areas, I realized that some of the fill was in fact not grout but literally just filled with sand! And another area had already fallen out. I immediately called back and had him come back out. Got an apology but no explanation other than he said it must have been the helper that did the area with the sand filling?? It LOOKED like he took the sand out, and replaced with grout but I wasn't there to watch and was skeptical. 2 months later, some of the areas that had the "sand repair" are still soft and pliable, and some areas are already wearing away, so I seriously question if it was done correctly. The other irritant is that I was quoted an hourly rate for the time over and above what had been purchased with the coupon. I was fine with that quote, assuming that the "expert" was going to do all of the work. The "helper" was billed at the same hourly rate as the primary guy and obviously didn't provide anywhere near the same level of expertise/skills, if in fact he did anthing besides the caulking. Very disappointing for my first Angie's List highly rated recommendation experience.

As we walked through my yard it appeared the tech was selling additional services from the get go. He increase the watering time. Said I had to sprinklers that were not working to their maximum so recommended replacement which he did. He informed me that my rain shut off sensor was not working and he could not repair it. Said the city of Kennedale requires it and I could be fined if I did not have a working sensor with shut-off capability. He replaced the sensor.

I was initially very happy with his work and what he did looks really nice but when I called to tell him about the water still coming in, I had to leave a message and he did not return my call which really disappointed me.
Description of Work: The Special Deal was for 4 hours masonry repair, which Mr Chip Mertz and I agreed he was going to use to fix the garage floor underneath the door to the yard because the cement was all crumbling away so that every time it rained I had a river going through the garage. He was very creative in that instead of doing that he put a new much higher threshold made of treated wood over the cement and cut a strip of wood from the underside of the door but the inner part of the wood he cut a bit short so that the one time it rained while the wind was blowing the rain against that door I still had a ( although lesser) river coming in.

Let's start with the fact that the service was impeccable. Randy is a truly-talented masonry guy, and that is hard to find. His pricing is unbelievably low for the value you get -- if you pay for cheap brick work, you get cheap brick work...Randy is not cheap, but his price is way below what you would expect to pay for this quality of service. He cares about his customers and takes pride in the superior work he does. He does not cut corners, but instead goes above and beyond to be sure that your house has been thoughtfully evaluated and improved. I have seen a number of frustrated customers posting here about Rain Leak Solutions, and I do understand why because I was frustrated, too. Randy had put out a coupon at the end of last year and got such a huge response that he was overwhelmed with work. He sent out a nice email to everyone telling them what happened and that he was going to work through the orders as quickly as he could. He specifically offered to refund the cost to anyone who was not able to wait. Well, it took a really long time for him to get to me, and although I felt annoyed, I hung in there because his reviews were so good and I really didn't want to have to research masonry repair again. BOY am I glad I waited for him! Once it was my turn, it was REALLY my turn. His complete focus was on me and my problems, and once that happens you start to really understand why it took him so long to work through his list of people -- he does a first-class job on EVERY job. Randy had bid me out for the chimney repair and miscellaneous crack filling, but he went all over the house looking for possible areas of water penetration and took care of everything. I loved that he touched up the mortar from old repairs where you could see "repair grout" next to the original mortar. It looks great! That's part of his specialty -- making the mortar match perfectly. I look at the front of my house and cannot tell anymore where the old repair was or where the new repair is. Oh, and when it was all over, he told me his sub charged him less than expected for a portion of the job, so he adjusted my bill DOWN! Randy is magic, honest, and is worth waiting for.
Description of Work: Repaired my chimney where bricks were falling off and the mortar was crumbling, as well as filling a bunch of small holes around the exterior, caulking areas to be sure no water penetration was possible, and touching up previous repair work to make their joints match the original mortar better.

My experience with them was not good. For whatever reason, they never came out. It's kind of an odd deal. I wanted to get my money back. When we first did the deal, the guy said, "Yeah, great! We will really do it right now. We're really short-handed. We will come out, and we will schedule it for you." 60 days later or whatever, that day came when I have forgotten about it. I have seen them probably 90 days later. They said, "Yeah, I'm sorry about that. We were just really short-handed. We can't come out anytime soon. Let me see what I can do in 30 days or something like that." I can't call them to work, because they never came out. They ended the deal, and we got our refund on that.

The work was never completed. The owner, Randy, was quite good about sending email updates after the coupon was purchased (on Dec. 12th). However, it took > two months to even get an estimate. He had intended to start work that day and it's not clear to me why that didn't happen - I had to go in for a conference for my work and my fiance remained outside while he said he would work on an estimate. He (Randy) told my fiance he would send that to me. When, the estimate arrived, I responded that it looked good to me on Feb. 15th. I contacted Randy again on March 25th and heard back from him on the 28th - he said that he would be able to do it in a few weeks. I've given him multiple chances to get the work done and was more than willing to pay for work above and beyond the coupon, yet > 6 months later the work still isn't done. I would like a refund. ISTM that Angie's List needs to do a better job in terms of the number of coupons a vendor can sell. If the company is a specific size, then they should not be able to sell coupons that are more than 60 days worth of work for them.
