    That was the most disastrous and chaotic experience I had in my life ! The communication between vendors and the clients is a zero ! No one gives you time or explanations of the process. All the workers show up at your doors like clowns they don’t even know what they are coming for ! They destroyed my house, drilled holes in the front, holes in my roof …. The most unprofessional people I ever had to deal with.

    We had solar panels installed and our electric bill in now $200 higher than before they installed the solar panels. And they lied to us about the loan which is over $20,000.00! would never recommend this company they are committing fraud.

    Where do I begin with this company? They installed solars on my dad’s property and the system isn’t generating enough energy. We have tried to contact them for months now trying to get a response about canceling the contract because honestly our electric bill is still $300+ every month, plus the payment for the solars. No response; they just keep saying “we are going to look into it”. They already did an energy audit and found that the system is just not working and has never generated what we need for our home. It’s honestly a scam and I recommend anyone looking to get solars to avoid this co

    Mario, came to complete the connection process. As a result of City code regulations the AC compression had to be moved and and an existing fence relocated. He explained clearly how it was going to done without harming the function of the AC. He expertly moved the fence and painted it. He showed diversity in carpentry and electricty. He was transparent throughout the completion of the job. His crew was efficient and cleaned up after the job was done. Mario was professional and attentive to the customer's concern.

    Not only did I do solar. I also did other home improvements windows, sliding glass door, new roof as well flooring. The process was long, but well worth it at the end. My project manager was excellent. They have all types of financing options which helps in this economy, I’m very pleased with everything..

    This company did windows and mold treatment for my condo in Long Beach.The people that I dealt with personally were great. I'm a senior citizen , so they actually help me find very good financing terms to take care of this home improvement job.

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

What the company says about itself

Taken from its own website. We have not checked any of it, and a sentence on a website is not evidence.

  • Established

    “We've been in business since 2016, and we've grown steadily every…”
  • Insured

    “support and maintenance. Licensed and Insured CSLB # 1012298 Leading the way in…”
  • Licensed

    “with ongoing support and maintenance. Licensed and Insured CSLB # 1012298 Leading…”

Its website also mentions warranty and 24/7 availability, but not in a sentence we can quote cleanly.

Elsewhere

  • It posts on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. A page that stopped posting years ago tells you something a listing will not.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.

Something wrong here? Tell us and a person will read it.
