This has been the worst contractor I've ever had to deal with. First of all, originally Quoted me $10,000 for installing my solar and ground mount for a system I already bought. By the end of the project he wanted $18,500. When I asked for an invoice to show why the price increased so much, he became Angry with me and stated "do you want me to count up every nut and bolt?" to which I replied "yeah otherwise how would YOU know what to charge me?". He only finished the job part way and I had to finish the rest. Also, when the county Inspector came for the final inspection, Kyle acted very suspicious and requested for me to NOT be present for the final inspection because he " grew up in the same town" as the inspector. I can only assume that meant it was questionable if the final inspection would be passed. On top of all this, he complained the whole time about installing my system, blamed me for everything, and took almost 8 months to finish this simple project.
I would Highly discourage anyone from Hiring Kyle for Anything.
Edit- Due to the inability to reply, I am making this edit.
-Kyle was first contacted about the project mid October 2025, and no project was started before him. Only contacting contractors to receive quotes was done prior to Kyle accepting the project.
- If I was originally quoted $10,000 for the project, and the price increased almost double, it would be reasonable to ask for an itemized invoice which Kyle was unable to provide and became very agitated when asked.
- I was present at home when the inspection happened, but was requested by Kyle to stay inside, and not interact with the inspector for an unknown reason.
- I responded to confirm what the final price was, but did not agree to it, and the original contract signed states if there is any price increase, there must be a new contract signed by both parties which never happened. That coupled with the inability to provide an itemized invoice suggests that the numbers Kyle came up with were arbitrary at best.
- a cement pump was NOT required. Kyle originally stated they would hand mix and pour the concrete footings, then stated he could not get the concrete bags, and elected for a pump because it would be easier for them and per Kyle "it would be the same price".
- Correct there is still an outstanding Balance of $1500 not paid to Kyle. Due to the job not being finished (battery Grounding wire not installed, inverters and data loggers not set up etc.) and there being no new written contract agreement signed by both parties, the last $1500 for the project was withheld.
-Kyle's crew had used my pry bar during the concrete pour, broke the tool, and never replaced it.
-concrete work was extremely messy and excess concrete was randomly dumped near the site.
These were my biased experiences. I wish Kyle Dean electric the best, and hope they improve for future customers. read more
