We have been getting a few bids to do the landscaping for our home. We had a few ideas in mind for the design and also wanted artificial turf installed in the front and back yard. We decided to hire green empire to replace 16 windows as well. We got new dual pane windows installed. The job was done nicely and on time with the timetable they gave us. Fair pricing and easy to work with, would recommend them based on my experience. read more

Wish I could give less than one star the promise of saving money on electric bill didn't occur. Alfassi came to our home and gave us an estimate for cool life paint (or similar) and windows for energy efficiency. Sounded like a good idea. The day the painters came out they didn't pressure wash the house as stated in the contract. They did patch up areas before painting and setup. The came out and had 3 5-gallons buckets of paint for the house. The trim was good. Then I noticed the paint was regular exterior and primer house paint, and I called Alfassi and explained to him that the paint was not even close to the cool life or similar paint as stated on the contract. The owner of the paint company came out with his crew, and he had 1 5-gallon bucket of paint and nowhere on the bucket did it have a label of the type of paint being used though he should have had 3 5-gallon buckets. The crew started painting the house and of course they didn't have enough paint so they started adding water lots of water because their paint machine couldn't the paint. They used my back and front yard without even asking for permission to clean their equipment. I have three dogs so they could have gotten into their cleanup areas. They didn't even attempt to bury the paint cleanup. The windows were installed and the owner was nice enough to reorder a window that he had measured wrong. As the summer has been hot in Santee our A/C unit has been running non-stop. I contacted a few paint companies about cool life paint, and they suggested that get thermal imaging camera. That I could you tube to check the paint for cool life. So, I purchased the camera and checked the exterior and if cool life paint or similar exterior paint was used the house would appear blue along with windows and no exterior wall was blue, they were all orange. So, I am losing money on something which I purchased for over $38000 that was supposed to be saving me money. I have reached out to both Alfassi and Michelle and have not received any response. So hopefully with this review I might get some response and get the matter resolved. read more

We had water damage done to our home and we're looking for a contractor to fix up the kitchen. Luckily for us Green Empire was working on the block and were able to give us a quote. We spoke to the homeowners on the block and they were happy with their work as well. They installed new counter tops and cabinets for the kitchen. We had a specific backsplash we liked as well and they were able to do all of it. Happy with the service they provided on our home and if you need a good reliable contractor to upgrade your kitchen I would recommend giving these guys a call. Great workmanship!!! read more

Green Empire Builders was a pleasant company to work with , from start to finish they help us remodel two bathrooms , installed new laminate flooring and replaced 8 windows . We had a few quotes from various companies , however due to communication and timing we decided to use them . Estimates among three companies and bids we got were fairly close. This review is a bit over due as they finished our project a few months back , but I just had some time now to share how our job turned out. Would recommend this company to family and friends based on the good quality work they did on my entire house . read more

Either this company is misleading people into thinking they are a government agency called the "California State Energy Program" or they use a broker company to give them leads. Either way, it is it immoral. I received a cold call from someone who claimed to be from the "California State Energy Program" claiming I may qualify for grants for upgrading my home to be more energy efficient. Already skeptical, I immediately Googled the "California State Energy Program", and no agency exists with that name. What results DID come up was Green Empire Builder! When questioned if they were a government agency or a private company, they deflected *multiple times*. When I got transferred to a manager, he outright lied and said that YES he was a government worker at the California Energy Commission. When I asked why a government agency is soliciting me, he got irate. I immediately told him to remove me from their marketing list. His response: - "No! I will tell everyone at this office to call you!" - "We will *gangbang* you, how's that?" - At this point he hangs up. Regardless if this call came from Green Empire Builder or not, this company is associated with shady sales tactics. Just from that alone, *YOU SHOULD NOT TRUST THEM*. read more

Green Empire did some great work for our rental property . They installed new laminate flooring , interior painting and re did an old master bathroom . Outstanding work and easy company to work with , as communication was clear from the start on timeline . Job was done a-z nicely and would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to get some work done to their home . read more

Total scam!! Do not do business with this company! They misrepresented themselves as working with the State of California energy efficiency program-they do not! They arrived in black t-shirts-no logo, no business cards or any identification besides a fake badge. They claimed they could do roofing, landscaping and lots of other improvements with zero cost to the homeowner. When in actuality they pressure you to try to take out a loan and tell you that it's good debt. Total waste of my time and energy! I will be reporting them to the Better Business Bureau and the state of California for fraud. read more

Green Empire Builders was able to help us remodel our kitchen along with replacing 10 windows. They gave us a fair quote based on the other estimates and we decided to use to them for the job. They are reliable licensed contractors and we were very happy with the outcome of the entire job. We did hit a little hiccup because we decided to change the color of the flooring tiles, but they were patient and waited til the new order was in. Great Company to work with, the foreman was great and detailed. read more

It was definitely an older home so we knew sooner or later we had to fix a few issues . We decided to have them demo the bathroom and kitchen and they worked with our budget for both projects. Communication was excellent throughout the entire project ! read more

They used high-pressure sales tactics where they ended up quoting a price to me that was twice the cost of typical services of exterior paint job and glass door replacement for my area, even though they made it sound like a good deal by pretending they were calling some "qualification" discount program that approved the "discount" on the spot. Please do research and shop around before going with this company. read more

We contacted this company for kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and we couldn't have chosen a better option. First, the initial communication regarding our wishes and their design suggestions were awesome. They explained everything in detail including the quote. They are so knowledgeable about materials and pricing for those materials. We learned SO much. Once we agreed on everything, the party started. Services were started promptly and with care from the start to the beginning. We were updated on progress appropriately-- Suberb communication. Surprisingly, ww had no setbacks. This company plans very well. Once everything started to come together, I was soooo excited and satisfied. Once everything was complete, my fiance and I literally admired the work in silence because out property looks like something from a celebrity house tour special. Thanks, GEB! read more

The quality is good, but the salesperson/project manager was pushy. They were referred by a telemarketing call. I inquired about central AC and the next thing I know, the project manager was asking me to sign a contract and schedule the work ASAP. The scope of work wasn't even agreed upon, I felt like he saw what type of financing I could get and I just became $$$. read more

I was looking to redo our kitchen as we noticed water damage and mold underneath the sink . We had them install new cabinets , quartz countertops and soft closing white shaker cabinets .

Green Empire Builder Is a Scam -- Especially Targeting Seniors I am over 70 and am sharing my experience so that others, particularly seniors, can proceed carefully. I received a phone call stating that I might qualify for state funded home improvements. Based on that representation, I scheduled an in-home appointment. On March 3, 2026, Green Empire Builder's representative, Mr. Shakar, came to my home. He walked through the house and discussed various improvements he said he could make. He stated that he would try to get me approved for a California program that would pay for the work. After some discussion, he told me I had been accepted and pressured me to sign immediately or risk losing the opportunity. Feeling pressured, I signed documents that same day. After reviewing the documents, I learned that the paperwork was not for a state program, but a private contract with Green Empire Builder and agreement included financing through Service Finance Company in Boca Raton, Florida. Rather than the work being paid for by the state, I was committing to a 15-year loan at 7.99% interest, with monthly payments of $599.50. The total contract amount was $62,770, which was far higher than expected for the scope of work discussed. The contract did not clearly state whether there was a prepayment penalty. The very next morning, March 4, 2026, I decided to cancel the contract per the California 5 day right to cancel non-emergency home repair contracts. I personally provided Mr. Shakar with a written Notice of Cancellation and also emailed a copy to Green Empire Builder's headquarters. Mr. Shakar told me that I could not cancel because I had signed a "waiver of cancellation" and that I remained responsible for the full contract amount. I was then offered a proposed "settlement" requiring an immediate payment of $21,270. Wanting the situation to end, I wire transferred that amount. Later, I discovered that Green Empire Builder continued processing the full financing loan for $62,770, in addition to retaining the $21,270 payment, totaling $84,040, despite no work being performed. As of today, I have not received a refund of any funds paid. I recommend that consumers--especially seniors--carefully review all documents, avoid same day decisions, and seek independent advice before signing home improvement or financing agreements. Green Empire Builder's practices are deceptive, predatory, and financially devastating. read more

I was advised by my friend to get a few estimates to remodel our kitchen and bathroom. We knew the layout and had taken pictures online to show the vision we had. I felt like we connected best with Green Empire Builders. They gave us alot of great ideas and were very patient with us throughout the whole process. We hired them earlier of this year, and just have gotten around to share our experience. They did a fantastic job on the kitchen and bathroom remodel. The tiling was what we worried about the most and they did a nice job!!! Thank you!! read more

Beware! They called me stating they were with the State of California Energy Savings program. Completely misleading, I specifically asked if they were selling home repairs and they said no, that any upgrade was paid for via a grant. Someone with Green Empire Builder showed up to our scheduled appointment and explained that any repair would be reimbursed via a rebate. The list of potential energy saving upgrades was: windows, paint, insulation, roof, hvac and landscaping. After, analyzing my utility bills and areas of potential savings he concluded that a tankless water heater was an area I could benefit from. The quote was $16,000 for a tankless heater. With a potential for $1,000- $4,000 rebate. No guarantees that I would get the rebate. I'm versed in the construction industry and know the true cost of installing a tankless water heater. It would cost me approximately $4,000-5,000 for a decent brand, including labor and parts. Please be careful with this company. They're prices are ridiculously high and they get in your door through deceit and lies. I expressed my concern about their prices and the entire process and the sales man left my home immediately. read more

A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING coming to urban areas to offer predatory "help". They make promises that sound great until they have a signature on an astronomically priced quote, they will hound you relentlessly. IF YOUR A OLDER homeowner, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, THEY PREY UPON ELDERLY PEOPLE WHO ARE MEMORY CHALLENGED, you'll look up and sign off on a debt that your fixed income surely won't cover. Horrible experience, would have rather dealt with an honest crackhead. Do your due diligence on all they're quoted and "licensed" work before you're sorry. read more

Let me first start off by saying this is not about the quality of their work. They approached my elderly mother under the guise of a low to no cost home improvement company. They told her that the government would soon be ending this "program" implying that there was urgency for her to make a decision. They came out, surveyed her place, and then gave a nearly $40,000 proposal. They signed her up for a 15 year payment plan and planned on starting a few days later. After speaking to my mother, I urged her to get other estimates as I felt this seemed rather high for a discount program. I also told her that she had a few days to cancel the contract and she should never make decisions right there on the spot. The sales person contacted me directly, and I expressed my concerns to him. She's an elderly person on a fixed income, she signed a contract right on the spot, and I felt their prices were a little out of line for a discount program. She was able to cancel the contract fairly easily. My problem is that they portrayed themselves to be something that they aren't. They put a sense of urgency based on implying that they are a government program of some sort that would soon be ending. Their prices were way more than a discounted program should be , and that they appear to be contacting vulnerable people since this was an unsolicited call. I was able to find a true low income repair resource in her city that requires no repayment until the house is sold. Since she's on a fixed income, this is more in line with what she should be expecting from a discounted, low income program. Beware if you receive an unsolicited sales call from these people. Make sure you get second and third estimate. And if you are truly a low income individual, check your county or city for real low income repair options. read more

I just finished a bathroom remodel with Green Empire Builders and I'm really glad I went with them. At first I was a little nervous because I've heard so many horror stories about remodeling projects taking forever or not coming out the way people expect, but they really put me at ease. The team was respectful of my home, covered up the work area, and actually showed up when they said they would, which is rare these days. Not everything was perfect right from the start, there were a couple of small delays with materials and one of the tiles had to be swapped out, but they handled it without giving me any stress. What I appreciated most was how they kept me updated and actually listened when I had little requests or changes along the way. The bathroom now looks amazing, way brighter and more open than before, and it honestly feels like a whole new space. I can say Green Empire Builders did a great job and I'd use them again for another project. read more

We hired Green Empire Builder for a full bathroom remodel, and the experience was better than we could've hoped for. From the first meeting, they were professional, clear about timelines, and really listened to what we wanted. Every step of the way, we felt like the project was in good hands. The crew worked efficiently, kept the space as clean as possible during construction, and paid attention to every detail. The finishes are beautiful, the layout is much more functional now, and the quality of the work shows. We're so happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend Green Empire Builders to anyone considering a bathroom remodel. They truly delivered. read more

Unfortunately, I need to agree with all the other One Star folks. They misrepresented themselves when they cold-called me. They stated they were offering CA State Efficiency Upgrades based on a grant they had that would result in $0 cost or 85% off if I qualified. What they fail to tell you is that a VA status pretty much guarantees qualification. They are just a broker. They are pushy, want you to sign Right Now without 100% of the information. The salesperson was nice (though his accent was a challenge on occasion), but couldn't tell us who would be handling the work, and didn't think it necessary for us to get other comparable quotes. When we told him we'd need to think more about it and pass for now, he got mad and left quickly. And he left his dirty quartz counter sample. I'll stick with local people in my area. read more

Green Empire Builder - General Contractors Near Me

I want to write this review just to make people aware of my experience. I received a call from the CA Home Energy Program stating they would be offering some rebates in my area and would I be interested in replacing my heater, water heater, roof etc. I thought maybe with the rebate it would be more affordable. They then had a contractor come out, Green Empire Builder, to survey my house to see what needed to be replaced. They focused on the water heater which is very old. They said that I should qualify for the rebate to have it installed but I had to be positive on me decision to proceed, not going back once I told them I wanted them to do the job. I filled out some paperwork and he called the office to see if I qualified. And YES I was approved on the spot. The cost of the job after the rebate would be $8,862 with a $79.00 a month payment for 15yr. They would do the job the next day. He also did the math on how much I would be saving between my water bill, gas bill and my homeowners insurance. At the moment it sounded all good. And the guys that came to the house were very nice. But they are sales guys that's their job. After they left and I had time to do research on tankless water heaters for my size house and how much they should cost I was very disappointed. I was being way over charged for this project even with the so called Energy Program. At most this job should cost 6k and with a rebate attached to it the job shouldn't be costing me almost 9k. I texted the gentleman that had come to the house and canceled the job. He did come the next morning, with coffee, trying to work out better financing and if I signed over my rebate that I would get from PG&E the next year could we proceed with the job. Again, nice guy but that's his job. I still declined. The point of this review is just to tell you please do your homework and don't be pressured into making a split decision/on the spot especially if you are an elderly person. Please have a family member there with you to go over the cost of what they are proposing. Especially when they are going to do the job the next day and there is no turning back once they start the work. read more
