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.

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.

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.




Response from Rainmaker Irrigation, Inc.
"We have attempted on numerous occasions to verify and rectify any issues with Member; however, even when the owner of the company arrived at the appointed time, Member failed to show up and wanted us to drive back to her home two hours later (which is over one hour travel distance one way). On March 15, 2011, our technician, Daniel Betts arrived on site at 2:30 pm to provide a quote for multiple leak repair and to add a zone. Upon his findings Member decided to have the work completed at that time. Here are Daniel's findings: 1. She thought she had a leak in the stone area that is in the middle of the driveway as she saw water in the drainage box located there. She said she believed that they had capped off and buried some heads there, but did not want the tech to dig in the area to verify that there was no leak. 2. Tech talked with her about moving heads and she decided on changing out nozzles due to the cost of moving the heads. the homeowner provided her own nozzles that she wanted to use. 3. The homeowner stated she has two sprays in the garden. She stated she did not want to spend much money. She wanted to water the garden every day and the tech suggested that instead of her watering 3 days per week at 5 min per zone that she could adjust the time to water 6-7 days to 2-3 minutes per zone as this would provide water on a daily basis without over-watering. 4. The homeowner was shown how to program the timer. 5. The system was adjusted with the homeowner in attendance. 6. The rain sensor was added due to she had a wired rain sensor. This wired sensor was attached under trees. Tech explained the inefficiency of that setup. Installed a wireless sensor in a locations that would actually make the most efficient water usage. 7. Customer was presented with an invoice on-site. Customer reviewed invoice and wrote a check on-site. 8. Customer attempted to program the timer and messed up the timing. She wanted tech to come back out at no charge to fix the error. Customer was advised that there would be a charge to come back out and reprogram the timer. 9. Customer begins calling and complaining that she should not have to pay, she feels ripped off. On March 31, 2011, Member called in for Daniel. Wanted to know how many minutes to set for each zone. Daniel spoke with Member and advised her about setting the minutes. On April 2, 2011, Member called for Daniel again, twice. Wanted to know how to set the timer again. Was unhappy that one nozzle was broken (but these nozzles were provided by her and she said she could change it out herself). She wants Daniel to come back out for free. We told her there would a charge. On April 5, 2011, Member called for Jeff, the owner. Jeff returned her call. He explained how ineffective the sensor was under the trees. He explained that we could not come back out for free to reprogram the timer. On May 26, 2011, Member once again called for Jeff and indicated that she felt were a dishonest company; that the tech was dishonest etc. and she would be reporting us to Home Reports. Susan notified Jeff and Home Reports. Jeff returned Member's call. Jeff advised Member that he would be out there that afternoon to check over the job. He arrived at 2:00 pm and called Member, but she was not there. She did not return Jeff's call until 4:00 pm and wanted to Jeff to come back. At this time, we have no plans to return to the job site."
