Irrigation system in the outside yard Responded to my request right away My husband and I were very happy and pleased with the service and professionalism of Raul and his team read more

The best irrigation company I have ever had service my house. Attentive and knowledgeable as well as reasonably priced.

After a terrible installation from another contractor, our sprinkler system was a mess! We've had brown spots for the last two summers due to low water pressure and insufficient coverage. I reached out to Rainforce Irrigation hoping for a full inspection of our system and a plan to get it fixed. Raul responded quickly and came out the next day. After confirming that the design was not ideal, he gave a detailed and very reasonable cost to fix it. He even coordinated with another contractor friend to take out and reinstall part of our patio so he could run a larger water line. Only time will tell, but I feel confident that we are finally going to have a beautiful lawn this summer with sufficient water flow and all new sprinkler heads that actually cover our lawn! read more

Very professional organization. They quickly quoted the project and were very efficient on installation day. They provide seasonal services to maintain their system, which is also a good value added service. read more

After years of dragging out the water hose, I decided it was time to install a sprinkler system! I researched a few companies, came across Rainforest Irrigation, read the great reviews, and gave them a call. Raul, the owner, came out within a couple of days. He explained the process, took some measurements, gave me a quote, and hired him right on the spot! Raul and his crew arrived on time on the appointed day. Everything was going smoothly, then a hiccup surfaced concerning an old, rear outdoor water valve. He said it had to be replaced, which I agreed with. What impressed me, though, was what Raul had to do to make the repair. He could have told me to hire a plumber to fix this, however, Raul took care of it. He accessed the crawl space, max 2 ft high, probably less, and while communicating with his crew on the outside wall, he changed out the old valve with a new one. My claustrophobia was in high gear seeing this! I appreciate the troubleshooting. I have no qualms recommending this professional company to anyone looking to install a sprinkler system. Thank you, Raul and crew! read more

Raul and his team did a fabulous job, their pricing was fair and their communication was excellent. I looked at several options and I am very grateful I made the choice to go with Raul. He stands behind his work and takes pride in the job. Our landscaper accidentally hit one of the sprinkler heads and cut one of the irrigation lines, Raul came back no questions asked and made the fix at no cost. read more

First time I have used this company and plan on using them again. They responded promptly to inquiries and were timely. I feel their pricing was fair. Very nice cordial people to deal with. read more

Haven't had the best experience with Raul. I first used him to winterize my system. Appeared good until the following year my valve was bust from there being water in the system. They said they would stand by their work and fix for me, but this somehow ended up costing over $300! I then had them come back for a sprinkler install job. The work was ok but the pricing was frustrating. They quoted an hourly rate, which seemed reasonably, and then told me at payment that this was ACTUALLY a per person per hour cost--although they never said how many people would be needed. The price per sprinkler head was also outrageous and 10x as much as I could purchase for. Finally, they attempted to charge me a call out fee as they forgot a part I had requested and had to come back. I will not use this company again. Be very careful to get FULL quote/details up front. read more

Raúl and team came out to update my system and fix broken heads. His team went above and beyond and found and fixed several leaks my system had. I will be using them annually to close my system for the winter. I highly recommend his company. read more

Raul came out right away to check out my Irrigation system that had not worked in a couple years. He fixed all the heads that were broken and a couple of underground pipes. Raul was very professional, friendly and knowledge. He set-up the timer and explained how the system worked. I felt his prices were fair and he will be back to Winterize the system. I highly recommend this company. read more

Raul and his associates did an excellent job. I hired him to evaluate and repair the underground irrigation system for two areas (front parkway, and garden plot along the side of my home in Bucktown. This had been installed by another firm a few years ago and was presumed to be malfunctioning (plants were not doing well, and since it was completely underground there was no way to fully assess what was happening). I had called a lot of businesses and no one was interested in helping to solve the problem. Then I came across Raul and Rainforce. He was excellent. In about 3 hours he and his 2 associates were able to solve the problem. They dug up the required lines, used what was functional in the existing system, and converted to popup valves. I appreciated that he took pride in troubleshooting the problem and was not interested in merely selling a whole new system. Our plants are clearly much happier. Will definitely reach hire him for projects in the future as they arise. read more

After the company I had used for years was sold to a very nasty company ~ I found Rainforce. They were extremely kind and polite and were able to accommidate us late in the season. They responded immediately for a service call and have been nothing but dependable. The only downside ~ I have to have a separate plumber come out to do my RPZ check. Raul is wonderful and, in a way, I am glad the other company was so horrible and rude because I found Rainforce. If you are looking to have your irrigation system properly cared for ~ I highly recommend Rainforce. read more

They were very responsive and friendly. They did excellent work. Family run local business. Good value.

They insisted on $125 , just to come to the house and look. I understand a fee to drive out but $125 seems a little steep to look at an estimate ( that will take 5 minutes,) read more

Raul and his team are amazing. He designed and installed a multi-zone soaker system for all of our plants and trees and we couldn't be happier! read more

Raul was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The irrigation system installation wound up being incredibly fast and affordable compared to what I had anticipated. Have had it in place for a few months and so far, it's great! We were very happy with the whole job. read more

Rainforce installed my irrigation system two years ago and I've been very happy with their service ever since. I had agreed to a mid-May restore date but after a lot of yard work wanted them to come sooner, which they helpfully accommodated. Juan showed up within the estimated arrival time and quickly restored my system, tested it, and even replaced a nozzle where I wanted more coverage. Friendly, competitively priced and professional service, I will continue to use Rainforce. read more

They quickly diagnosed the problems with the sprinkler heads and made the adjustments/fixes at a competitive rate (lower than the rate our usual company quoted). I am very satisfied with the friendly and competent service and will definitely be reaching out again. read more

Reliable service , very understandable, family owned. Highly recommended. Called them twice to activate the my sprinkler system and fix it when two head broke , for a quick and easy job they came and helped. read more

We finally got fed up with a major North Shore competitor who was providing increasingly poor response times, inflated estimates, and repeated visits for simple problems. So in desperation we started calling smaller competitors hoping to find a good one. Rainforce is definitely the solution to that problem. I called early season and got a courteous text back within three days. They came out to do an estimate the next day. We needed several sprinkler heads repaired and a line and zone relocated in preparation for driveway expansion, with an old copper-line 1960 system. Raul did the digging (literally) to ensure he knew exactly what work needed to be done, and did some quick simple repairs while doing the estimate. He refused payment for this until the larger job was done. Three days later, four guys were at our home 9am Sunday morning to complete the work. They worked hard, verified with me all sprinkler heads were working, added two heads to the system while rerouting the pipe, and finished the job right on time (we were leaving at 11am and I paid them at 10:55). After all that, their price was 15% lower than what I had been quoted from my previous provider, who also misunderstood the work and definitely would have upped their quote on site by 50% at least. So... a screaming deal. I have fired my previous contractor. Rainforce is our go-to for the future. Cannot recommend highly enough. Too many folks around here are getting ripped off by other North Shore providers. read more

Raul is the best. He knows what he is doing, works efficiently, and does so reasonably. I cannot recommend him more highly. read more

Our usual irrigation guy is laid up due to injury and unable to service his accounts this year. I needed shutdown service quickly and came to Yelp and Google. I wanted a local company, (not the large, rude company that did my install) and asked for a quote. Raul from Rainforce got back to me first, and immediately. He was friendly, knowledgeable and offered to come the next day or next week. Next day please! He communicated with me as to the timeframe, and confirmed that by text. Raul and his assistant arrived promptly as promised and got right to work. In person, he was just as pleasant to work with. He said he wants to try to help out our usual guy, without attempting to steal business, because injuries could happen to anyone. Raul pointed out one broken head, without pressure to replace it when I told him my husband will take care of it himself. Rainforce also installs systems and he is putting one in tomorrow. His price was reasonable and in line with what we have been paying. He accepts personal check for payment. I would not hesitate to recommend Raul and Rainforce. read more

Raul and Juan are fantastic! I needed to find a company to winterize my older sprinkler system due to my previous company not able to do it this year. Very responsive to my request, visited me within a day and got my system blown out and winterized. Looking forward to working with them next spring to update and expand the current system. read more

Very good irrigation service. Raul is hard working and very easy to work with. I highly recommend. He's hard to reach by phone so I recommend messaging on Yelp. read more

Raul and the Rainforce team are so incredibly professional and were fantastic to work with. They installed a lawn/garden beds sprinkler system at our home. From our first contact to the last step, the entire team has been quick to communicate with us & have done exactly as they promised. The plumber they sent to do the piping was great, as well! The whole team is super friendly, helpful, and explain everything. We had one small spot that got missed during the install and they even came back (immediately) and added one more sprayer! I can't say enough about Rainforce. I highly recommend! read more

Had my 1st contact with Mr Ayala, the owner. I had a good experience. He was puntual and got all done on time. He did one thing that no one had done before. He took the main valve of the sprinkler system out after he was done. He mentioned that this is a good practice to ensure winter will not do damage to the valve. 1st time ever. I will use him again for sure. read more

Raul was responsive, showed up early and performed my sprinkler winterization quickly and professionally. Great job done at one of the lower prices I was able to find in the area. Would recommend Rainforce Irrigation without hesitation! read more

Raul is very responsive and dependable. We installed a new system two years ago and extended the system to include our planters this summer. Both installations were done quickly and efficiently and at a very fair price. We would highly recommend Rainforce for installing new systems and maintaining existing systems. read more

Don't waste your time with other companies. I called the owner came out an hour each way. Worked hard did the job and bam awesome work and man. 10 stars. Call them now! read more

I was referred to Rainforce Irrigation by my landscaper. The owner, Raul, came on short notice to check my sprinkler system (I just bought the house) and showed me how to use it. He also installed a new sprinkler head and came back a few weeks later to winterize. In all three instances, he was dependable, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely continue to use him for each fall winterizing and spring startup! read more

Raul was outstanding...punctual, patient (with my many questions and suggestions) and his work was outstanding. We installed a drainage system for our gutter downspouts and Raul had to remove a lot of old and incorrectly installed past buried drainpipe from previous landscapers we had hired over the years. His price was very fair and all the work was done on time (in one day!), on budget and with no surprises. The clean up was faultless and everything looked better than it did before he started the job. Added to this is that Raul was a complete gentleman and was very respectful of my property and that of my neighbors. I recommend him without qualification. read more

Can't recommend more. We had a few folks come out that were stumped by our ask to winterize our sprinkler system since the previous owners hadn't put the right things in place to do so. Raul was the first to come out and not only winterize our system, but completely fix the old issue within 2 days. He walked me through exactly what was going on, what was needed and made sure I was comfortable with the plan. I could not be more grateful for him and his team! read more

Raul did a great job winterizing my sprinkler system. I am a first time homeowner and Raul was happy to walk me through the entire process, answering all my questions and explaining how my sprinkler system worked. He was very nice and professional. I plan to reach back out to Rainforce Irrigation for all my future irrigation and lighting needs. read more

Reinforce irrigation staff is very professional! They were on time, they were very efficient & extremely polite!! 5 stars!!

Raul replied to my text in a timely manor. Gave me prices on my irrigation system to shut it off for winter. Came on time and on the day he said he would. Great job! read more

Raul was great. Listened to my needs and followed through. He messaged me pretty quickly on Yelp and was able to give me a quote. He did the job with the same estimate, and made sure everything else was working right with my system. He works on weekends too! His communication was great. He made sure to protect my plants while working, put all the dirt back as it was and cleaned up after himself. He was on time and accepts zelle. Highly recommend. read more
