Rapid Rain Response

I can't say enough good things about this company. Max found our water intrusion source when 3 other prior professionals pretty much threw up their hands and said they had no idea why this was happening. Everything about the experience was excellent - incredibly professional, responsive and reasonably priced. It is so refreshing to work with someone so knowledgeable and able to clearly define an issue and give specific solutions. And he really went above and beyond when I asked him follow up questions well after the work was completed - he even offered to speak to my roofer directly if needed. I would give him 100 stars if I could!

Review
Letter from the founder
I bought an old house in Mt. Washington a few years ago which, like countless other buildings in L.A., was not ready for record-setting rainfall. I had leaks, my neighbors had leaks, my grocery store had leaks... it was as if all along our roofs had only been decorative.
I found myself helping neighbors, friends, and family combat the rain. We scaled buildings, found leaks, and stopped the intrusion ourselves because no one could find available professionals to do it. It occurred to me this service was in high demand with near zero supply.
Now, Rapid Rain Response's specialized services, equipment, and skills have even veteran contractors calling us to diagnose water intrusion. It turns out that millions of dollars are wasted every year on the wrong solutions because projects seldom begin with a proper diagnosis. Contractors are more than happy to show up and rip out sections of roof or redo a whole wall because somewhere in there, maybe, is a leak. With us, you know exactly what you're dealing with, no guessing, and you fix only what needs fixing.
