"A foundation repair company wanted $6,000 to install a French drain that they were planning to have pop out in the middle of my side yard. Advantage showed up on time, put in a first-class French drain that exited further (at the drainage at my property boundary) for $2,650. We had record rains today. During the rain I went out and checked. The French drain was working like a champ!"

"I usually do not write reviews for anything unless they really leave an impression on me and I felt obligated to leave a review after what a phenomenal job Jim’s Plumbing Now did on my water heater. The gentleman’s name was Malik from JPN that replaced my water heater located in the attic which we all know is miserably hot!!! I did not hear one complaint or even a sigh of having to work in an attic in this Texas heat but rather he did the job with a smile on his face and had an incredible attitude the whole time. He was professional and had great work ethic and knowledge in the business. I would highly recommend Jim’s Plumbing Now to anyone and will be happily returning as a customer in the future. Thank you for your hard work"

"Very good. He cleared the pipes out."

"My backyard is very large and with the heavy torrential rains increasing each year, my garage kept flooding. I tried many different approaches from many other companies over many years to include the French drain I installed. None of the fixes worked. This year in September, I heard about Andy’s Sprinkler, Drainage and Lighting helping someone in my neighborhood who said that after we had over 8 inches of rain, that the drainage system they had installed by Andy’s completely took care of the excessive water, and they did not have any potential flooding problems. I contacted Andy’s immediately, and Jackson Drew came to my home to review the flooding issues and immediately was able to assess the situation and quickly came up with a permanent, reliable and common-sense solution. Jackson knew exactly what needed to be done, he was extremely professional, clearly communicated the information to me, and was very, very polite. Every question and concern I had was quickly and fully addressed in a respectful, easy to understand way. Jackson is a true professional and a great asset to his organization. Jackson sent me the official quote by email the next business day which was very clear on the work to be completed. Further, Jackson assured me, in person, that Andy’s honors its workmanship and that their team members have been there for many years with a great deal of experience and produce high-quality work. Andy’s team members are experts in their fields. I knew that the solution Jackson suggested was absolutely the fix needed to stop the flooding in my yard and garage. The work was scheduled asap, and they were able to complete the drainage system installation in early November. It was a very large job which took 3 days. Jackson and his crews were very professional, on time, and did an excellent job from the beginning to the end. Further, Jackson quickly and expertly replied to every single question and concern that I had about the project. I would highly recommend Andy’s Sprinkler, Drainage and Lighting for any service they provide, especially flooding and sprinkler issues which are the services I had for this year. The initial cost seemed high; however, it was well worth it, and the amount of time they spent on the project making sure it was done correctly, showed me that they truly care. Jackson Drew is an exceptional professional and expert and was a pleasure to work with during this project. I have recommended him already to colleagues, and will most certainly be requesting him for future service requests with Andy’s. Thank you."

"found my leak and fixed it."

"Blake, Angel, & Aaron did a great job from start to finish. Blake did a great job of explaining the whole process with the pier installation. Clean up was great after job was completed. Would definitely recommend this company."

"They came on day one and dug the holes and poured the concrete.  The men were very courteous.  I was worried about the ones digging, as it is all dug by hand and it was roasting hot outside.  I was not there when they finished for the day, but when I arrived home, I noticed PVC pipe in our yard from the sprinkling system.  I called Amber (she rocks!), and she sent someone over that day to repair the pipe.  It is normal for them to have to cut through the PVC, but I wasn't aware of that and they were not able to discuss what they did that day since I wasn't there at the completion.  The following week, they sent another crew that did the lifting.  This method is the most gentle on your house on the lift, as it only lifts once - - unlike the concrete pilings that use the weight of your home to pound the pilings in, so apparently the house goes up and down several times.  I can't even imagine using that approach, as it sounds pretty scary when the lift actually occurs (popping, cracking noises).  Noe, the lift supervisor, (really nice and great at explaining the process) came in several times to do measurements.  He always took his shoes off so as not to track in dirt in the house.  The great news is, they were able to close the expansion joint perfectly, and the ceiling crack closed significantly.  So far, we don't have any additional cracks in the house.  We did have quite a bit of cracking/large gaps in the mortar, especially at our entry arch where it is mostly cosmetic rather than structural.  They have suggested waiting 90 days before we do any fixes.   The lack of mortar looks pretty bad, so I don't know if I will be patient enough to wait that long :o).  A plumbing assessment was completed the following day, and everything checked out fine.  I'm pretty high maintenance in terms of wanting to know what is going on/when things will be done/what to expect, and Amber was awesome at answering all of my questions/calls/concerns (did I mention that she rocks!). 

Another thing that impressed me about Brown was that most of the work crew that I interacted with had 15-20+ years of experience with Brown.  That says alot about the company.  As far as price, I can think of a lot more fun ways to spend $5,000 than lifting the foundation, but that being said, they were in the ballpark of the other estimates.  Brown was a little more expensive per pier, but I felt like this is a better solution.  Even though everyone has a lifetime warranty, it's a pain to have the work done, so their solution felt like I'll be less likely to need the warranty.

I've already recommended Brown to a friend of mine.  The inspector measured and said that they didn't need to have work done, so she was also impressed with their honesty.

I'm anxious to see how it fares in 90 days, but they indicated that if we see anything concerning, they will come back out and remeasure/fix if needed."

I am a small contractor with over 40 years experience. We build stone walls, patios, concrete drives, walks and drainage systems. We have a diverse back ground in real estate and remodeling projects, both interior and exterior spaces. I am also a licensed irrigator so any changes in your sprinkler system will be done probably.
