Work Description:
FIXED SPRINKLER HEADS, ADJUSTED THE SYSTEM. SET THE WATER TIMING FOR THE SUMMER. FIXED A LEAK IN THE PIPES AND A FAUCET. SHOWED US HOW TO HOOK AN ADDITIONAL FAUCET INTO THE CURRENT SYSTEM TO SAVE US MONEY.

Comments:
NOEL WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE SHOWED UP ON TIME, WALKED THE PROPERTY WITH MY HUSBAND, AND ACTUALLY FOUND A LEAK WE WEREN'T AWARE OF. HE DID THE REPAIRS AND WENT BEYOND THAT BY RESETTING THE WATERING FOR US (WE DIDN'T ASK HIM TO) FOR SUMMER. FOR WHAT HE DID, IT WAS DEFINITELY WORTH THE PRICE.

SPRINKLER HEAD WAS RECONNECTED TO WATER PIPE WHERE IT HAD BEEN BROKEN OFF BENEATH THE GROUND. ANOTHER SPRINKLER HEAD WAS REPLACED AND MOVED TO PROVIDE BETTER COVERAGE. CONSULTATION ON CURRENT IRRIGATION AND LIGHTING SYSTEM. RESET THE TIMER FOR PROPER WATERING FOR THE ZONES ON THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

Comments:
WHEN I REALIZED WATER WAS BUBBLING UP FROM THE SIDE OF MY DRIVEWAY, I CALLED THE COMPANY WHO INSTALLED MY SYSTEM 3 1/2 YEARS AGO. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE SEVERAL WEEKS BEFORE THEY COULD GET TO ME EVEN THOUGH I USED THEM TWICE A YEAR FOR WINTERIZING. I CALLED SOUTHERN RAIN. NOT ONLY WERE THEY HAPPY TO HAVE MY BUSINESS, BUT THEY CAME OUT THE SAME DAY. NOEL AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE PROFESSIONAL AND PROMPT. THEY FIXED MY PROBLEM AND WERE HAPPY TO REPLACE AND MOVE ANOTHER SPRINKLER HEAD. NOEL ALSO TOOK TIME TO CONSULT WITH ME ON MY IRRIGATION AND LIGHTING SYSTEM. I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. IT IS SO NICE TO FIND HONEST PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE TIME TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS AND EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.

NOEL CONTINUES TO BE AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE TO MEET OUR NEEDS. HE IS ALWAYS PUNCTUAL, POLITE, AND COURTEOUS.

Work Description:
I HAD AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM INSTALLED BY A DIFFERENT COMPANY IN MAY OF THIS YEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY DID A VERY POOR JOB. THERE WERE NUMEROUS REPEAT VISITS TO REPAIR LEAKS IN THE SYSTEM. ON THE LAST 2 VISITS THE COMPANY SAID THERE WERE NO LEAKS FOUND. I CALLED SOUTHERN RAIN FOR HELP. SOUTHERN RAIN CAME OUT AND QUICKLY IDENTIFIED ONE DEFINITE LEAK AND SEVERAL OTHER QUESTIONABLE AREAS. NOEL OFFERED A WORKABLE SOLUTION (SHORT OF REDOING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM). NOEL WAS WILLING TO SPEAK TO THE COMPANY THAT DID THE ORIGINAL INSTALLATION ABOUT WHAT HE FOUND. IT IS RARE THESE DAYS TO FIND SOMEONE WHO IS HONEST AND WILLING TO GO THE EXTRA MILE. WHILE SOUTHERN RAIN HAS NOT YET COMPLETED THE WORK, THEY HAVE ALREADY DEMONSTRATED THEIR WORTH!

Comments:
ORIGINAL APPT WAS MISSED- BUT NOEL WAS QUICK TO FOLLOW UP. NOEL SPENT 2 HOURS EXPLAINING HOW THE SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED AND HOW WE COULD MAKE A BAD SITUATION BETTER. HIS PRICES ARE A LITTLE HIGHER BUT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

NOEL PUT IN A COMPLETE 13 ZONE IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

Comments:
WE WERE EXTREMELY PLEASED WITH SOUTHERN RAIN. NOEL AND ANNA ANSWER THEIR PHONE CALLS OR RETURN THEM PROMPTLY. NOEL PUT IN A COMPLETE WALL TO WALL SYSTEM IN OUR YARD. HE EXPLAINED EVERYTHING THAT HE DID AND WHY HE DID IT THE WAY HE DID. OUR YARD PRESENTED EVERY OBSTACLE THAT HE COULD ENCOUNTER AND HE TACKLED EACH ONE AND SOLVED EACH PROBLEM THOROUGHLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. THE MEN HE HAS WORKING FOR HIM ARE ALSO A+, ESPECIALLY STEVEN. WHEN WE RAN INTO A BIG PROBLEM AT THE END OF THE JOB, NOEL AND STEVEN WORKED OVERTIME TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE IT. I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS COMPANY. I WOULD NOT EVER USE ANYONE ELSE. GOOD JOB SOUTHERN RAIN !!!!!

Comments:
I CALLED SOUTHERN RAIN AFTER ANOTHER COMPANY STOOD ME UP. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND CAME 30 MINUTES EARLY FOR THE APPOINTMENT. THEY REPAIRED A SECTION OF SOAKER AND A SECTION OF LINE BETWEEN A HEAD AND A CONTROLLER. PROBABLY NOT THE CHEAPEST COMPANY, BUT RESPONDED, CAME EARLY, AND WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL. WILL USE THEM AGAIN.

ENTIRE LAWN IRRIGATION RESULTING IN SEVEN ACTIVE ZONES AND ONE INACTIVE FOR FUTURE GROWTH. USES RAINBIRD PRODUCTS EXCLUSIVELY, AND WILL TELL YOU THE REASONS HE USES RAINBIRD.

Comments:
NOEL WAS SO DILIGENT WITH THE WORK DONE IN MY YARD, I KNOW OF AT LEAST TWO OF MY NEIGHBORS WHO ARE LOOKING TO HIM FOR THEIR IRRIGATION NEEDS. IN THE MIDST OF LAYING THE PIPES FOR MY SYSTEM, OUR AREA EXPERIENCED SOME MAJOR RAINFALL, AND I RECALL NOEL OUT THERE UNTIL ALMOST 10:00 IN THE EVENING CAREFULLY COVERING EACH TRENCH WITH PLASTIC. THE THING I LIKED BEST WAS HIS GENUINE INTEREST IN MAKING SURE YOU GOT THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE; WE COMMUNICATED ALMOST DAILY WHILE MY SYSTEM WAS BEING PUT IN SO I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHY.

Comments:
OVERALL, A GREAT JOB. SOUTHERN RAIN IS NOT THE CHEAPEST, BUT I AM CONFIDENT THAT IT IS ONE OF THE BEST. I WOULD RATHER PAY A LITTLE MORE AND GET THE JOB DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.
