What is this?What is this?
We display two types of written homeowner feedback on GuildQuality member profile pages: Comments and Reviews.
Comments
In response to our customer satisfaction surveys, homeowners share lots of comments about construction quality, communication, or any other question asked in the survey. Guildmembers can selectively publish these comments here on their profile page.
Reviews
Reviews are different than comments. These are star ratings that homeowners ask us to publish, and they come with a written description of the type of experience they had working with their contractor. We publish all of the reviews we receive: positive and negative alike.

I knew that eventually I would be installing solar, but who and how do I choose the company to do that? I began my due diligence when I bought this new home, five years ago. Some of my neighbors had installed their systems and I picked their brains and observed the installations. Many installations...

We were sold on this company as soon as Chris came out and answered all of our questions. We did our research and had several other companies come out just to make sure we covered everything.

From start to finish, the crew of IES was professional and courteous. I had contracted with another solar provider prior to using IES, and they were not up to my standards and were going to give me an under powered system, so I fired them. The IES design team gave me a better design, and will save me...

We have only great things to say about IES. Start to finish they were a model of expediency and efficiency. The whole process from when we met with Chris,to Benjamin delivering the thank you gift basket was a total of three months. Benjamin Jones was the shining star. He kept us updated on the...

We're very happy with the job that the IES team did on our solar project. Everyone we dealt with was very knowledgeable and professional. They kept us well informed of the project status at all times. The project moved very quickly and resulted in a high quality installation.

I would say that after doing a lot of research on solar companies throughout the San Diego area, I learned a lot about what different companies have to offer and what they don't have. They met all the expectations I would expect from a professional company.

Answers from contractors near Vista, CA
Are solar shingles a good option for my home?
Gregg Cantor of Murray Lampert Design, Build, Remodel PRO answered:
Nov 26, 2016
Solar shingles are expensive and unproven. I recommend Sun Power photo voltaic solar. An average home is $20,000 to $30,000 and the return on investment is 4 to 6 years on a 25 plus year system.
What is the biggest "gotcha!" that customers experience when doing a kitchen remodel? (and how do I avoid them?)

Being too trendy especially if you are going to sell the home in a few years. Also, if you are staying in your home, installing cheap cabinets like IKEA is a big mistake.
