Albert is the best around. Seriously! I'm still praising my fiancé for such an excellent find. It's extremely difficult to find a contractor in San Diego that is responsive, does great work, & won't over charge you. At best, you can get two of the three qualities but Albert has them all. He's quick, he's very responsive, and he's very thorough. He provides careful recommendations and shows pride in his work. He won't take on something he can't do to a 110% satisfaction level & I appreciate him for that. We hired Albert for gutter work, we needed to ensure water was making its way away from our property as we had had a ground floor leak from water dumping down from the roof. Albert finished the gutter work in pretty much a single day. Once his work is complete, he ensures everything is clean on the job site. I asked Albert of what other things he was able to do as I had a big problem such as drainage... and this began a new project where he helped to ensure ground water would be able to make its way off my property via drains and sump pump. He made recommendations along the way and even found a plumbing leak which I needed to have fixed immediately to prevent further issue. His team is also extremely respectful and cleans up after themselves. I'd recommend giving Albert a call. read more

Albert did a great job on my gutters. He responded to my questions immediately, gave a firm quote, and then visited my property before doing the work. He helped me pick a color for the gutter, too. Who knew there were so many choices? On the day of installation, he and his worker worked super fast (it was going to rain that day). He tested the level of the gutter to make sure it would drain properly. Later that day, it poured, and that gutter was working overtime. Thanks, Albert! read more

Incredible! There is a darn good reason for all these great reviews! We had a big gutter/20K gallon rainwater harvesting system. Quote was by far the most reasonable. It was a big job done A-Z in 2 weeks. Albert and his crew were incredible, on time, very friendly, very hard working with high quality work, in all areas. They had a very high level of workmanship in all they did. Everyday cleaned up when done, great communication thoughout the process and explaination for how the system works and how to maintain. When completed and the crew was gone my wife and I went out to pick up any left over "whatever" but there was none there were 4 big work areas all prefectly spotless cleaned up and ready to go. In all areas our expectations were exceded as others have said LOOK NO FURTHER! read more

No need to look elsewhere call Albert for your gutter needs. 5 stars to him for taking great care of us and he is super clean and on point. Highly recommend. read more

Albert and his team did a phenomenal job on a new drainage system! He and every member of his team displayed an incredible degree of dedication, professionalism, expertise, care, accountability, and pride in their work. Communication was amazing. Albert was present to walk through the job each day and make sure things were moving along as they should, and also clearly had taken time and energy to ensure he had hired a crew with strong work ethic, expertise and self-sufficiency to move the job forward on their own when he wasn't around. On the rare occasion a surprise or minor setback occurred (e.g., nicking of an internet cable buried in a strange and unexpected location), Albert personally reached out right away, took full responsibility, and worked with us to find a same-day fix. He also followed up after the job at each heavy rain to be sure the system had addressed all issues/leaks, and even came back out same-day to provide a minor update after the first heavy rain (the plan had been to test a first solution and make an update if needed and this was done immediately when needed). I'd highly recommend Rain Water Systems to anyone in need of drainage solutions. Thank you! read more

I've been struggling with severe flooding in my garage anytime it rains. I called Albert and he was quick to respond and very professional during the entire process. He provided excellent ideas and a few different solutions to mitigate the water. After just a few minutes onsite I knew he was the right contractor for the job. When dealing with highly specified issues you need a specialist and Albert is your guy! read more

Another 5+ star review for Rain Water Systems! We had Albert and his team install a French drain system across our property, which is located on a hill. Previously we had trouble with water pooling in the backyard and draining into our crawl space, but all that ended with our new excellent French drain system. Albert is a rare find, someone who cares about his clients receiving excellent systems, at a reasonable price, with no hassle/no problems. His team was a joy to have on the property during project work, and easy to communicate with. Albert was available throughout the project to support his team, and answer our questions. He was even available to check in with during the first rainstorm after the french rains was installed, which happened to be the heaviest precipitation in one storm since 1850. We were sure glad to have the french drain for that storm! He also gave us some excellent free advice about using waddle for erosion control in another area of our property. We have done numerous house/land projects at our property over the last year, and I can honestly say that Albert and his team were our best experience of all of them. Thanks Albert! read more

It took me about a year to write this review. The french drain and sump pump that Albert installed works great and has saved my rental unit from flooding. read more

Albert and his team did some excellent work with both our new rain gutters and installing a sump pump to help with our flooding problem in our lower level room. In and out over two days time. I'm very happy with their work and I'm actually looking foward to rain now. We may not have some rain for a while, but Albert made sure to let me know to call him if we had any further problems. read more

We had our gutter system and rain harvesting tanks installed a few weeks ago. Albert came to our home to give us a quote and was able to come back the very next day with his crew to get the job done. Talk about a quick turn around! His team was meticulous and pleasant to work with. Albert checked and double checked everything to make sure it was exactly how he wanted it. He was helpful in giving us advice for how many cisterns we should install to meet our gardening needs. We are satisfied with the look of the gutter system (and our neighbors are too, since they just asked for the company's contact info). I'll check back after we actually have some rain and hopefully will keep this as a 5 Star review. Update- January 15th. So we had our first rain and within half a day all of our water cisterns were full and overflowing. We now have almost 2,000 gallons of rain water to use! Pretty amazing. read more

Albert is very knowledgeable and professional. Rain Waters Systems offers a wide range of beneficial services for your home (ie: drainage, gutters, etc...) highly recommended read more

Albert and his guys did a great job for us. Set a fair price, did the work quickly and the entire process was easy. I would recommend.

Albert and his crew installed a full gutter and drain system on my house in March. They did a great job and now that it has rained a bit, I can confirm that we've had no leaks in the gutters. I like how the drains are designed to water my plants. The price was fair and as promised in the quote. The gutters look great! I highly recommend RWS. Albert really goes the extra mile, is honest, had great communication and follow through. read more

They did a great job! Upon doing the very reasonable and thorough estimate they considered my whole problem and offered a whole solution. They worked quick and responsive to any concerns. I tested my French drain and sump pump system and it works great! read more

After an addition and other house maintenance, we needed a drainage system as well as all new gutters/downspouts. As usual, I did my research and got several bids. All of the potential providers had excellent reviews but I was especially impressed with the intelligent way Albert addressed the issues that we faced. He has a lot of experience and has done a lot of research to provide the best results. We have an underground stream several lots behind and also we are downhill from everyone's watering systems/pool clean out so it all heads toward our house. Albert advised and installed a French drain system coordinated with a sump pump. It's been tested by several storms and it works. He also advised and installed a fan system in the crawl space to dramatically reduce moisture/mold. It's on a timer and runs for an hour per day. Again, it works and we have noticed a positive difference. Albert also personally installed all new gutters and downspouts. He recommended materials and color choice and we couldn't be more pleased with the results. We had a little blip in a couple of areas where things weren't level plus we had roof "crickets" due to additions but he came out promptly and solved the issues. All is now working well. Albert provides a well thought out reason for each of his recommendations AND his pricing is very competitive. Good return for dollars spent. read more

LOOK NO FURTHER FOR A RELIABLE COMPANY!! Albert did exactly what he said he would do. He was patient with all of our questions, showed up when he said he would, finished quickly and his crew was phenomenal. Drainage contractors are hard to find but Albert quickly assessed the issue, emailed out an estimate on the spot and was honest about his timeline. No hidden agenda here. Rain Water Systems installed a French drain system, sump pump and new channel drains for our house. Lastly, I contacted many different companies about the issues we were having and Albert was quick to respond and his pricing was reasonable! I highly recommend Albert for any drainage, gutter issues! Now he just needs to broaden his services to cover other housing needs..... read more

Nothing but a whole lot of awesome!!! Albert was out to our home on the same day for a quote. Rain gutter's up the following day at a reasonable price. Amazing service!! Amazing work. He had some great suggestions regarding our roof's run-off and even recommended a rain barrel so we could save water. What sold me was the beautiful work he's previously done with copper rain gutters (which are out my price range). Pretty amazing if you look at the work he's done on his website and here on yelp... A+. How business should be. read more

I can wholeheartedly recommend Albert. He is an expert in figuring out how to solve water problems you may have at your house. I was told by two other contractors that it wouldn't be worth the money it would cost to install rain gutters and the required pipes to take the water off my property. In other words, they weren't qualified to do the job. Albert knew exactly what needed to be done, and how to expertly complete the work. He installed rain gutters, a sump pump, and underground pipes. I was impressed by his demeanor, work ethic, and the determination he had to ensure the completed job met the high expectations he set for himself. I also need to compliment him regarding the nightly clean up he performed at the end of the day. His prices are fair, and his expertise is rare. read more

EXTRA-EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT! You need not bother to look any where else. Mr. Albert and team have 35 yrs experience in this field. If you want quality work, you must be patient in scheduling, because Mr. Albert is in "High Demand". You will be extremely satisfied with his professionalism and detailed work. His team wears a mask throughout his installation which shows how considerate he is to his customers. Mr. Albert can answer any question you may have about water conservation, rain barrels, and California laws pertaining to waste water. He installed the highest quality rain gutters on our 2-story 5 bedroom Historical 1912 Craftsman home located in Chula Vista. My wife and I were extremely happy with his attention to detail and cleanliness a pond completion of job. You will not regret having Mr. Albert increase the value of your home by installing lifetime quality rain gutters for your home. As a paying consumer, we are extremely satisfied with his work. Thank you Mr. Albert. The Delgado Family read more

I called for a free estimate to install rain gutters at my house and the owner Albert was nice enough to come on Sunday to check my place out. Price was reasonable and and I got military discount on top!!! On the scheduled day, Albert showed up on time and he was efficient, quite, courteous and neat! Within few hours, the job was complete and I was extremely happy with the way my rain gutters looked! (Especially that I had not very positive experience with Affordable Raingutters previously abc their poor quality workmanship). I highly recommend Albert to anyone who really cares about getting quality work done at a reasonable price!! GREAT JOB Water System! read more

Rain Water Systems did a great job on our home. He even matched the colors of the house perfectly. He does quality work and fairly quickly. Thank you Guys! read more

This is a long overdue review of the work that Albert completed at our house. Back in 2013 I contacted Albert to begin the discussion of capturing rainwater. Fast forward a couple of years, and in 2015 we were finally ready to move forward (house needed a new roof, and new paint). I wanted to capture as much as possible, without just having tanks sitting everywhere. The problem is that our yard doesn't have much space to store big tanks, and the main area where the roof sheds water is a narrow walkway. After discussing with Albert via email, phone calls, and finally an in person consultation, we had a plan! He had the great idea of installing a 40 gallon rain barrel as a sump tank, and with a sump pump, the water would be moved about 40-50 feet away to a 530 gallon tank in the driveway. We then placed 2 other 305 gallon tanks on the sides of the house for the other areas of run off. Of course, the water needed to get to the tanks, so he also installed seamless aluminum gutters with stainless steel leaf screens. Now, instead of a messy runoff of water everywhere, and watching the rain run down the street or alley, we quickly fill up our rainwater and use it around the yard. :) My only wish was for more space to place additional tanks! His prices were great, and so was his work. As a follow-up to the original install, we were having some issues (in early 2020) with the way water would flow off our roof in one area, and the sump tank developed a leak. I contacted Albert, he fit us into his busy schedule, and made some fixes. read more

I first met Albert taking his class on rain harvesting & drainage systems at Cuyamaca Water Conservation Garden. I enjoyed his presentation so much that I introduced myself afterwards and requested to start working with him. Since then I've seen his work and the high caliber of service he offers and can say with full confidence he's the main go-to man for drainage & rain harvesting projects. Not only is he the best in town but he's a cool, calm & well rounded guy. read more

Very quick to respond! Arrived as planned and he gave us many options for our flooding back yard. We are in the process of working with neighbors and the city, but really enjoyed time and effort from this company. read more

Very well done and completed sooner than expected. Busy time of year for gutters but we got what we needed just in time.

The reviews are true, do not look any further for your gutter and drainage needs. Not only is Albert a great guy his crew is just as professional and courteous as he is. The work was done on time and came in under budget! As a bonus he enlightened me to the Great Flood of 1862, just ask him! read more

If you have a rain water issue, call Albert! We bought our home five years ago during the drought. Then a couple of years ago, the rains came. A corner of our yard next to the house flooded. This year the water got into the house. And it kept coming-the water was coming up from under a concrete pad next to our house. It was as if we were in the path of an under ground stream. We had several contractors come to bid on a system to get the water away from the house. Albert had the only recommendation that made sense to us. His team, led by Antonio, were very professional and very efficient. In just a little over a day, they installed a sump and drain system that worked! And even more important, they listened to feedback from me and made alterations to the job. They worked to make sure I was happy with their work. Which I was! Rainwater systems is fairly priced! You will get a huge bang for your buck from them! They left the jobsite better than they found it. You will be satisfied with their work! And most importantly, like my wife and I did the night of their work, you will go to bed relieved knowing your rain water problem has been rectified! Call Albert, you will not regret it! read more

We just bought a new house, and realized that our outside patio was really basically like a basement, but with no drainage, at the bottom of a hill. One hard rain and we would have water in the house. Albert came out and decided a channel drain and sump pump would be the best option. His crew of two guys came and worked like crazy for 3 days. They dug the drains, the hole for the sump pump and poured concrete. They were very professional. The job was finished on time, and on price point. I would definitely recommend them! read more

The service I received from Albert was great. I called and he was a able to give me an estimate quickly, his estimate was on par with what I expected. We scheduled a day to get the work done. He showed up on time and got the work done as promised. The new rain gutters look great and are working perfectly. Thank you for the great service!!!! read more

Albert showed up and did what he said he would for the price he quoted. Very professional.

This business is the bomb!!! The owner, Albert, came out during the weekend and gave us a great estimate. Albert matched the rain gutters with our existing stucco and as it turned out our house looks marvelous. Albert does great work. He's also honest. I'm very happy!!! Thanks again fellow YELPERS for your reviews on this business. 5 stars ++++++++. read more

Everything about my experience with RWS was first class. The quoting process, the timeliness, the quality of construction. I got quotes from other more (ahem) prominent vendors but you can avoid wasting your time on that. Go with RWS. The work was done by the owner of the company. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND RAIN WATER SYSTEMS! Thank You so much Albert and your amazing crew at Rain Water Systems. You guys really came through for us, solved our huge water seepage issues, and thoroughly completed the job in a timely fashion. The recent heavy rainfall dumped more than 6" in Vista, and left us with a high water table and what we realized to be a seasonal spring under our property... this caused the heavily saturated soil to slowly seep water into our finished basement. Water continued to seep in for weeks after the rains had stoped and the mitigation company really couldn't do anything more until the water was contained. I found Albert at Rain Water Systems after looking up several other contractors. Based on his bio, he definitely seemed way more knowledgeable and experienced for this specific kind of job. Upon meeting Albert, he immediately put me at ease and was very confident that he would fix my problem. He was indeed the best man for the Job! Even though he was booked out, he made my job a priority and even asked another very considerate client of his if he could do my job first, because of the water emergency I had in my flooded basement. With his crew of Eddie and Tony, these guys took care of business, excavating and installing a French drain system in my basement with a sump pump and also fixing up my gutters and lining them up with a French drain system as well to divert the water away from the house. These guys were so professional and did such a clean and perfect job! I was kept updated every step of the way, with each phase of the job. I'm so happy with the finished product and feel very confident in the work that was done. The team at Rain Water Systems fixed and solved my problem... my wife and I will forever be grateful. Thank you all so much!!! read more

In the Spring of this year, we found Albert of Rain Water Systems and asked him to help us design a rainwater collection system. Thanks to his expertise, most of the rainwater that falls on our roof is now directed into four huge tanks. These tanks became a significant feature of our automatic irrigation system. Rainwater from the tanks is used first, supplemented when necessary by water from the city. Rain in May proved the plan worked well. A potential problem with the gutter installation along one edge of our patio roof was quickly and innovatively solved, much to our relief and satisfaction. The only negative we can think of is that there are limited style options for the seamless rain gutters, though the seamless feature was more important than style. Albert was very responsive to inquiries, immediately and readily followed through with plan revisions, and was a delight to work with. We also appreciated his well-developed sense of integrity.

We called on Albert for an estimate on raingutters last month. He gave us a competitive price and said he could come out in 2 weeks. Then the rains game (back to back) & even though it pushed his schedule back he still fit us in and came out within a week of when promised to get the job done. They punched it out & the gutters look great. We're so happy he was able to hook us up during the busiest time of the season. Other companies were scheduling months out. We would highly recommend contacting Albert. He's very responsive (when others were not) and a pleasure to do business with. read more

Albert and Francisco are the go to guys for any needs involving outdoor drainage, rain gutters and even landscaping. They helped us with replacing an old broken french drain which caused flooding in my backyard. They not only install a new working drains with clean outs but also ensured that the foundation slopes were done in a way that the water goes away from the house and in the drain. Their work is of a very high quality and get that done in appropriate time. Albert is a very reasonable guy and his prices are quite competitive. I will be getting rain gutters installed with them shortly as well and would definitely recommend them to everyone who needs a drainage job done right! read more

This is a great product and a great company to work with! My tank is 1100 gallon. Bought it last March and I am still using FREE water to water my front, side and back yard. No grass, but many plants in the ground and potted. I water every 4-5 days. I am continuing to collect condensation from my roof. Best upgrade we ever did for our house! read more

Well Rain Water Systems 5 star reviews are 100% spot on. Albert is busy no doubt, but he got to our project as quickly as he could, and the results are great. His workmanship is outstanding, we are really pleased. read more

We got a quick quote and responses to questions and changes. We scheduled the work and they arrived on time. The work was done quicker than expected and looks great. I would highly recommend you give them a shot. read more

Highly recommend this company if you have any sort of rain water issue you need fixed. In our case, we had a lot of water settling under the house due to heavy rain and we also had a gutter system that was installed incorrectly by our previous contractor. We had already recently replaced the foundation, which was not cheap, and our foundation was still getting flooded so we called Albert and it was the best decision we made. He was fast to respond and was very knowledgeable. He proposed a new gutter system and a sump pump system to eliminate the standing water issues and quoted us a very fair price; we had quoted multiple contractors but we decided to go with Albert because unlike many contractors we've dealt with... they're never on the job site. He was punctual and finished the job with no issues, his crew was courteous, explained the set-up, and left the place nice and clean after they were done. It was a complex job but they were in and out in three days. By far the most pleasant experience we've had with a contractor and we've dealt with many. Focused completely on customer experience and getting the job done. Would recommend 100%! read more
