Rainmaker Irrigation is based in Hooksett, and its website lists a service area that runs from Alton, Laconia and Meredith to Alstead, Chesterfield, Dublin and Fitzwilliam. It holds a 4.3 rating from 83 Google ratings and an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. A recent Google customer with a new lawn said David was quick to respond with a competitive quote, the install was postponed and quickly rescheduled because of heavy rain, and the installation itself was very quick. A recent customer thanked Jordan for installing an adapter to their irrigation when they wanted to switch two overhead sprinklers over raised garden beds to drip hose. A 2025 Google customer thanked the crew for staying until 8:30 PM, well after dark, to make sure everything was done right. In a 2024 review, a customer said Jordan diagnosed and fixed multiple broken zones. A 2024 customer said Kyle opened their system, found issues and told them before resolving them, since a number of heads needed replacing. A 2022 customer said Dave's crew of 8 installed a new irrigation system in 6 hours. The backflow valves are where things went wrong for some. A recent Google customer said the technician who did their winter blowout left both outside backflow valves totally closed. A 2022 customer said that after Rainmaker winterized their system, the valves were left closed and the drain plugs in, the backflow preventer cracked, and they paid $280 for a replacement. A 2023 Reddit commenter in r/ManchesterNH said they used Rainmaker for their first 2 years in the house and both times ended up with a crack in the backflow prevention valve over the winter. A recent HomeAdvisor customer said their appointment was cancelled the day of because of drizzle and that they lost a day's pay. A recent Google reviewer said they called for spring quotes, went with someone else, and were later called to confirm a fall shutdown appointment they never set up. A 2024 customer said payments were not tracked properly and late fees were added. A 2024 customer said that on a spring visit, Rainmaker mistakenly turned off the high pressure tank when it was supposed to open their diverter, which increased their water bill, and then denied responsibility.
“The first 2 years in the house, I used Rainmaker Irrigation, but both times I ended up with a crack in the backflow prevention valve over the course of the winter.”
I called for quotes in the spring. I ended up going with someone else. They called telling me when my appointment was and I had to call back to tell them they shouldn’t have set up an appointment. They called back in the fall to confirm an appointment to shut down my system that, again, I never set up with them. Very shady business. The fact they do things like this they will never get my business.
Arrived on the date promised and preformed the irrigation blowout for the winter. The technician however left both outside backflow valves in the totally closed position. If I didn't partially open them, it's highly likely the backflow body would split over the winter.
Highly recommend Rainmaker Irrigation NH! David was very quick to respond, provided a highly competitive quote and he is very knowledgeable for all things irrigation and lawn! I have a new lawn and they were very flexible to postpone but quickly reschedule the install due to heavy rain preventing any extra damage to the lawn during install. David went above and beyond & provided extra advice for growing and maintaining my new lawn! The installation of the system itself was very quick and his staff was professional and a pleasure to work with! Even if you have other quotes, give David a call, you won’t regret it!
Had an appointment scheduled after calling twice. Then the day of appointment was called to cancel due to drizzle which stopped after 1-1/2 and clear the rest of the day. Lost a days pay and was asked to reschedule which I declined. Not a very professional company and will not recommend to anyone
Thank you Jordan for installing an adapter to our current irrigation! We had 2 overhead sprinklers for our raised garden beds. We wanted to switch to drip hose to help with water efficiency. So many thanks for your professionalism and quick work on this matter! Plus he added some help with a couple sprinkle heads that were clogged :)!
