Wrapping house.
Collin M.

This review is woefully late, unlike 3 Generations who showed up everyday on time, and ready to work. Our work was done in late 2019. We invited 3 crews to bid, Jeremy and crew made the best impression. Both the professionalism, and cost were winning factors. We elected to have plywood installed in areas where the builder had not, the entire home wrapped in Tyvek, R2 foil/foam insulation installed, and then the siding. We've noticed a HUGE difference in home comfort and energy usage during the hot summer. The subs for the rock work were efficient as well, and were on time. Start to finish, the job was about 2 weeks. I would strongly recommend them for your siding job.

After: Front with new siding, trim, and windows

3G is definitely not the cheapest siding and windows contractor, but if you want a job done right with excellent attention to detail, they are your vendor. We had our entire home's siding replaced along with a dozen or so leaky windows. We opted not to do patch work because there was significant damage and dry rot across the entire house, both externally and behind the siding. 3G had completed jobs for similar houses in our community, and they came highly recommended to me. 3G was responsive throughout the entire project, patiently taking the time to answers all of my (probably OCD!) questions in person, via phone, and even text, all before spending a dime. Once engaged, they managed the project very well in spite of COVID and delivered on everything they said they would. As an indicator of their integrity, they respected all of the original pricing (estimated in February 2020) for our project in spite of increased labor and material costs they had to absorb as a result of COVID delays and impacts. I'm now confident and comfortable that I will never have to worry about leaks through my siding and windows again, at least not for the next 30 years! 3G warrants their workmanship and materials and I feel fully confident they will not only survive this tough economic time, but respect and fix any issues that may arise.

My wife and I really wanted to paint our house that we bought several years ago. Upon looking around the house, there were several areas of dry rot that needed to be replaced. My father in law who is a retired contractor informed us it was thousand of dollars worth of work to be done prior to being able to paint. So went went on the hunt to find a company to replace the siding on the entire house. We had a couple of consultations from a few private contractors as well as Home Depot. 3Generations came to our house and did a walk around. The owner Kurt was very nice and professional. He printed out some areas we hadn't noticed and asked us what we wanted done. We ended up choosing to do siding (James Hardie fiber cement) gutters, inside window trim, a garage door and some reconfiguration of the front. After a few days, Kurt came back with the proposals and samples. They came in 35% lower than Home Depot, and did much more work. Total project took about 3 weeks to complete. Kurt's crew consisted of 3 guys, Eugene, Elija, and Mark. They were very professional and excellent craftsmen. The work that was done was beautiful. They transformed our house from the ugly ducking on the street to the beautiful swan that all our neighbors are jealous of. I would highly recommend 3G to anyone wanting to make the investment into beautifying their home.

My experience with California Energy Consultant Service started with an insulation estimate from…read moreMitch. He was knowledgeable, straightforward, and took the time to explain the project and costs. We were getting quotes from several companies, so we hadn't made any decisions. What really stood out was that Phil, the owner, personally reached out that same evening to ask how the appointment went and whether our questions had been answered, regardless of whether we hired them. Coming from an HVAC sales background myself, that meant a lot to me. I've always appreciated family-owned businesses, and an owner who takes that kind of interest in a potential customer says something about how the company operates. Phil and I ended up talking about a roof replacement we were also planning. I'd already met with six roofing companies, but that conversation convinced me to get one more estimate. We ultimately hired California Energy for both the roof and insulation. What followed was a complicated project with multiple contractors working at our house, changing schedules, and a few unexpected problems. California Energy has been very accommodating throughout. Jamie, our project manager, deserves a tremendous amount of credit for coordinating everything. She's had to work around other trades, adjust schedules, and keep things moving while making sure our concerns were addressed. I know it hasn't been easy, and I genuinely appreciate the effort she's put into it. I've also had the opportunity to work briefly with Tony, another project manager, who has been incredibly responsive, helpful, and willing to step in whenever needed. John and Oscar, who handled the roofing work, have been excellent. They've been professional, attentive to details, and willing to follow through on questions or concerns. I genuinely have no complaints about my experience working with either of them. The roof is now complete, and the old attic insulation has been removed. We're waiting to blow in the new insulation until some electrical work is finished, with a few minor items still to wrap up. I also want to give Jose a special shout-out. While working at our home, he noticed an existing issue with our HVAC system that could have become a very expensive problem. Instead of simply pointing it out and moving on, he advocated for us, communicated with our existing HVAC contractor, and helped get the issue thoroughly investigated. That ultimately led to the discovery that our two-year-old rooftop HVAC unit was defective, and our HVAC company is now replacing it. Jose could have easily considered that someone else's problem, but he didn't. We're extremely grateful for his attention to detail and persistence. Thank you, Jose! Not everything has gone perfectly, but with a project of this size, I don't expect it to. What matters to me is how a company responds when legitimate concerns come up. In my experience, California Energy has listened, communicated, and worked to make things right rather than brushing us off. That speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. One thing that really stands out to me is how many employees I can name: Mitch, Phil, Jamie, Tony, John, Oscar, and Jose. Each has made a genuine impression and contributed to helping us navigate what has been a challenging few months of home projects. I think that says a lot about the people this company employs and the relationships they build with their customers. That kind of personal connection and accountability is becoming harder to find, and it's something I truly appreciate. We still have the insulation installation and a few finishing touches ahead of us, and I plan to update this review once everything is officially completed. Obviously, I can't speak to what their customer service will look like years down the road, but based on everything we've experienced so far, California Energy Consultant Service has earned an A+ from me. Phil has set a strong example as an owner, and his team has backed it up. From the initial estimate to managing a constantly evolving project, everyone involved has played a meaningful role in making this experience a positive one. I'm grateful we chose California Energy and appreciate everything their team has done for our family and our home.

The positives: Great communication, Alonso, Omar and Oscar…read morewere very attentive to detail and spent a lot of time making sure the end product of the windows and new trim is excellent. The negatives: a broken sprinkler, poor communication about permitting. Overall, we are very happy with the windows themselves. I wish the other details had been a little better, but big picture is that we are happy with the three contractors who spent all day in the sun and yet just powered through, not sacrificing quality work. Communication improved later, and we can already tell that these windows are better at keeping heat out than the old ones.

5+ stars for owner Eugene Beily and his crew at American Dream Siding & Decking. Our Hardie Board…read moresiding contractor referred Eugene to us when we needed major deck work, which involved our existing waterproof membrane on a large section of our upper deck over a downstairs room, as well as repairing our deck boards and railing. Eugene was patient and thoughtful as we discussed various options to maintain and protect the waterproof membrane and strengthen the structural integrity of our expansive decks on a hillside. He was mindful of our budget and, as a general contractor, identified and repaired another area in our crawlspace. He came up with creative solutions, and he has a great sense of design and style. We ended up replacing our upper deck with Trex composite boards. On the lower deck, his crew replaced most of the redwood boards and repainted the deck, even the wooden joists of the upper deck, for both wood preservation and aesthetic purposes. His crew paid attention to details. He also did the stone facing on our portico. Eugene went above and beyond. He's honest, experienced, and pleasant to work with. We highly recommend working with Eugene Beily.

Several months ago, we noticed condensation coming in our windows, even when the windows were…read moreclosed! We were concerned about mold so we decided it was time to get some new windows. Started off by getting quotes from the big names around us--Brothers, Home Depot, Northwest and a few other companies we found on Yelp. It was pretty confusing to decide which brand windows to install. Do we do Simonton, Milgard, Renewal, Andersen, Pella, etc? Did some online research and reading and decided to go with Anlin Windows because they had the best warranty, technology and quality that we were happy with. Went to Anlin's website and looked for their lists of dealers/installers that were close to us. Got a few quotes that were pretty comparable. Then one weekend, I contacted Good News on Yelp. Didn't think anyone would respond on a weekend but was surprised when Lon replied back. We set up a time to meet the next day. On the scheduled day and time, Lon showed up. He was very knowledgeable and we really liked what we heard about the company. I like how the company gives a portion of their proceeds to help people (see their website for more details). We liked Lon so much that we actually signed a contract with him that same day. (Usually we like to wait a few days and compare quotes) A couple days later, Etta at the office (cool name!) called us to schedule a day for installation a few weeks out. On the day of our installation, Brian and Serge showed up on the scheduled time and worked diligently the entire day. At the end of the day, I think they must have polished the glass or something because the windows looked amazing! My husband jokes that we now have 4K windows because they just look so great! We only did a portion of our windows because window replacement can be pricey. We will definitely have Good News HI to install the rest when the time comes. We told our friend about Good News recently and he also had them come out to do his windows. Highly recommend Good News if you're needing new windows! ETA: How cool that they have a referral discount! We referred our friends and Good News sent us a little thank you check after their installation. What a nice surprise! Perfect way for a business to win customers and keep the love going.

We had to replace a lot of windows in our house. Good News Home Improvements was fantastic. From…read moreLon who came to our house for a quote, to Etta in the office, and Brian and his crew they were always professional and did a quality job. We would highly recommend.

One wouldn't even give me a quote without knowing how much I could spend. Cali siding and windows was completely different. Ivan came out to look at our siding. He listened when we explained what we wanted to repair, respectfully made recommendations, walked around the entire house to make sure all repair spots were noted. Their quote was reasonable and included siding and paint. Ivan answered all my questions regarding roof tiles and what would happen if the damage extended beyond the siding. They scheduled the work to start the very next day and Alex and David were on time and friendly. David introduced himself and Alex, and they answered multiple questions I had while they worked. The work itself was top quality. They were careful when removing the old siding to not disturb other parts of the house. They installed the new siding and sealed every joint and nail head before painting. The paint matches perfectly. And they did it all in two days! After they were done they took special care to clean up, picking up every scrap of debris. I've never had contractors clean up after themselves so well. It shows they really care about their customers. I would use Cali Siding and Windows again in a heartbeat.
