He was professional, efficient and an expert in what he was doing. Recently I had a much bigger need/task so I called Lalo's Tree Service based on my positive past experience. I am sure happy I did. The gentleman that came out to do my estimate was much younger than the person I had in the past (perhaps Mr. Lalo's son or grandson?). This past week he and his crew did the job and did an exceptional work. They too were professional, efficient and experts in completing this very large job. They are certainly carrying on the Lalo's tradition. I would recommend them to both family, friends and strangers. L. M. Johnson

Here's my personal experience with this company as a former employee. I went in for interview was…read morekept there for 3 hours. Mike calls me back a few days later and offers me a job. I agreed to show up 8/27/18. I worked 2 days for Mike Robbins the owner at Lawns R US on 8/27-8/28/2018. I was never paid for my work as an employee of his on supposed payroll. It's been almost 3 months, No check or mailed paycheck or phone call to come pick it up. I left after 2 days of work because of how he talked to his employees and he didn't believe his 4 employees telling him that the driver didn't hit anything. I also got bad vibes when I didn't receive any paperwork to sign about starting wages and job title. I wasn't going to keep working for someone who verbally said $12 an hour and not produce paper trail. Now I have to file a claim with labor board because my stomach feeling was right to quit my job at lawns r us. So after posting a review Mike magically found my number to issue my wages. Took almost 3 months. He said the check got returned with no evidence and put different working dates.

A major construction firm in Chico which had painted our house, but does not do roofing nor normally refers phone callers to other contractors, referred us to Sierra Roofing. Eric Gray promptly responded at a very busy time sev'l months post-Camp Fire both on the phone and on site doing a roof inspection for necessary repairs on an older two-tile, Mexican barrel tile roof. He was a straight shooter and his recommendations saved us a bunch of money cuz we were prepared to replace the underlay on the entire roof. A big, expensive job which he said was not needed. His crew was responsive, professional, cleaned up thoroughly and were done ahead of schedule for our realtor's listing. Price seemed fair. We couldn't have been happier. Not sure if it's kosher to post our names but 'what the hey', nothing ventured, nothing gained. Yelp can extract it if that's their policy. Tom and Jill Resk Chico

I would have given them a 5 star review if not for two disappointments given at the bottom…read more I went with Chico Solar Works because they could also replace the roof (Chico Roofing Company) and I was willing to pay a premium to have a single company to deal with if anything went wrong. Also, they have been around for quite a while, I knew a few people who had used them for solar and their prices weren't out of the ballpark. Once the installation began it went quickly and smoothly, taking only a couple of days for installation and PG&E approved the installation within a few days. Note that they also had to upgrade our breaker box to 200A and they did a great job of matching the adobe texture and paint color where they had to cut out for the larger box. There were two things that were a bit disappointing. One was that the monitoring app showed incorrect "Consumed" energy information. It was including the produced power so when the sun came up my Consumed power went up at the same time as the produced power from the panels went up. According to Enphase this is a rather common issue and yet it took a couple of weeks to get Chico Solar to recognize there was a problem, which included my talking to Enphase a couple of times. Even after it was agreed there was a problem it took another month to get the issue resolved. It was disappointing that the people who do the installations couldn't recognize there was an issue even when I described it to them. The second issue is that (at least) one of the panels has a scratch a couple of inches long. At least initially this is not going to be an issue but I suppose it could lead to early failure. I have not reported that to Chico Solar. I should also mention that all the installed equipment was as quoted except for the panels. The panels were from a different supplier and had an additional 10W output with nearly the same specs otherwise.

Workers came out and worked on my system three times never talking to me just leaving door hangers saying the came out. 2. They designed a system to meet only 80% of my needs why on earth would I want that ? They shorted the panels I needed and I would've paid for and thought I was paying fir a system that would zero out my PG&E bill . 3. My annual True up has been running $3500.00 4. They owe me 12k the difference between the financed price vs the cash price since 2017 the one year anniversary of the system I got in March 2016 . * Because I thought the two sales guys where very knowledgeable and helpful , friendly. I told them to add $500 for them to split. Thus the financed price was to be 39,000 plus the $500 totaling $39,500 which I paid thinking I would get the cash difference once the Hero program informed them it was paid in full . The county refunded their Hero set up fees around $3000.00

George is a stand up man! I cannot thank him enough…read more We spent two long years battling a nightmare problem: water was somehow coming through the electrical wires and poles in our wall causing flooding and mold in the room. PG&E told us over and over again that once the lines leave the box, it was no longer their responsibility. We made countless calls, had a French drain installed, and were even prepared to dig down to the power box ourselves just to figure it out. Every contractor, builder, and professional we spoke with said they had never seen an issue like ours. Then we called Santos Excavating. Not only did George take the time to listen to our situation, but he immediately understood what was happening and knew exactly where to look. He even got on the phone with PG&E with us and on our behalf and knew exactly what to say and do to get them to fix this. While we didn't end up using his services directly, what I will say is this: George's knowledge of our area and the types of issues that can occur is unmatched. Out of more than 100 people we contacted, no one else had heard of our issue but George did. He went out of his way, at no expense to us, to help us resolve a problem that had been destroying our home every time it rained for years. Because of George's help, we were finally able to stop the flooding in our room a problem that had cost us thousands in repairs and left us feeling abandoned by insurance and dismissed by PG&E. His willingness to stand up for us and his genuine care completely changed our lives. George, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are the best, and we hope you receive countless blessings for the way you help people. Truly, thank you.

When they told us verbally that they would pay for the work we did if we went ahead and took responsibility for the Landscape Grade, we took them at their word. When we presented them with the bill for the work, they refused to pay. I would not recommend this company, they will try to get away with doing as little work as possible.
