I can't say enough good things about Carlos Gomez from Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions…read more I've been working on a non-standard solar setup using an EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X and EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 3, and finding a contractor who truly understood this type of system was incredibly difficult. I spoke with many contractors, and almost all of them sent salespeople who gave generic answers or tried to push cookie-cutter solutions that clearly didn't fit my setup. Carlos was completely different. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he wasn't a salesperson -- he's an engineer, and it shows. He took the time to deeply understand my system, reviewed actual spec sheets on the spot, and immediately identified issues that other contractors completely missed. Multiple companies told me Hyundai panels would work fine. Carlos checked the amperage limits, applied proper safety margin calculations, and clearly explained why those panels would not work with my EcoFlow system -- saving me from a costly mistake. He also walked me through: Proper panel selection within voltage and amperage limits Safe string configurations and series wiring How to maximize roof space while staying within code Permitting requirements I hadn't been told about before On top of that, Carlos identified critical code and safety requirements that no one else mentioned: Bollards required in the garage to protect battery units Correct battery placement to maintain required clearance from doors and entrances Heat detector requirements for battery installations in a garage These are all things that would have caused inspection failures later -- and Carlos caught them immediately. He spent well over an hour with me, climbed onto my roof to check for obstructions, inspected battery placement, reviewed wiring paths, and answered every question in detail without ever rushing me. What truly sealed the deal was how efficient and transparent the pricing process was. Carlos was able to turn around a detailed quote very quickly, and when I received it, I was honestly surprised -- it was a significant amount lower than every other quote I received, even though his evaluation was by far the most thorough. Given everything: His technical expertise The level of detail and care The ability to integrate with my existing system The fast turnaround And the much better pricing Choosing Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions was a complete no-brainer. Carlos is knowledgeable, meticulous, honest, and genuinely passionate about doing things the right way. After meeting him, I completely understand why this company has such strong Yelp reviews. If you're in the Bay Area and need electrical or solar work done the right way, especially for a non-standard or custom system, I highly recommend Carlos and the team at Sunlight Electri-Cal Solutions.

I actually first contacted Sunlight Electri-Cal very early on this year, in April. I had closed on…read morea new home but knew we would want to get solar installed. Juan was very responsive and came out to take a look at our home right away. What I loved about Juan and his team is they are NOT sales people, they're real engineers who are focused on solving your problems and meeting your needs. Juan and his team are true solar experts and know exactly what they are doing - they were great at walking me through key details I should know about the system, how to best take advantage of having a solar system, and did their best to get me scheduled (in spite of multiple difficulties) for installation before the end of the year. Just for context, I've talked to another solar company where clearly they were just about trying to close the deal and sell sell sell, which really turned me off - it felt like they just wanted our money as opposed to wanting to understand what we really needed. Juan's team really shined here by just showing up to be real experts who are thoughtful about what system you need, as opposed to trying to close a deal. Juan and his team were also really patient and flexible. Our new home's solar system had to be turned on before we could start any work, and that process took months due to Sunnova going bankrupt. And, they were also really thoughtful when we mentioned we had added in some upgrades that would affect electricity use (ie saunas and outdoor electric heaters), and they reassessed their initial project and updated it to accommodate that. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them and am really grateful that we got our project done so well!!

I hired A1F1 for a small project first (removing two columns in the front of my house to make a…read morenice sit-down patio). Fast, efficient, quality work that flew with high flying colors through the City Permits Department in one pass. I was impressed by them in all the ways our project worked out and hired them again for a very consequential project. Their thoroughness impressed me and my contractor ("These guys sure are covering all the bases brilliantly", he said of them). We wanted to lift up the ceiling of our kitchen and family room. Because the previous framing work was lacking and because we recently replaced our roof and installed a solar system with increased wind exposure, A1F1 explained we needed to install a big beam with a pier in concrete under the house. They provided all the drawings and calculations documentation needed for the City to approve again at first pass. Work is now under progress, and I have been at awe on how everything is working totally like clockwork. Highly recommended!

I was looking for a structural engineer to remove a wall between my kitchen and family room, I had…read morecalled various engineers ( including one that I had worked with in the past) and they all wanted a tremendous amount of money just for a site visit to advise whether it's even possible to remove the wall.. Anthony, from A1F1, took time out of his busy schedule to come out and look for almost no cost. He was on time, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He actually advised me about another wall bordering my kitchen, and told me I could remove that wall since it wasn't load bearing. So now, I will remove 2 walls, and have a totally open floor plan. Can't say enough about the guy. If you are looking for a structural engineer, believe me, u won't get a better value.

tl;dr - Leo's Painting was courteous, prompt, priced within my budget, professional, and I will…read moreabsolutely be hiring again (working through painting estimate). I had a phenomenal experience working with Leo's Painting on the ceiling patch work that I needed. I had 3 other contractors over the last year provide pricing for the patch work. All were well out of alignment with both my budget and where I valued the convenience of hiring a professional or doing it myself and living with whatever results I could manage. Leo's Painting showed up on time on all 3 days (estimate, initial patch/cure, and finish/prime), they were prepared with all the right tools and materials to give me the peace of mind that I needed as a Homeowner, that I made the right decision. Several steps were taken to minimize the amount of debris and dust impacted spaces outside of the working area. All additional items that were added to the scope of work (theres a lot of work to be done in my old house) were completed in the same time frame. Leo's Painting has the skill set that I was looking for in a right sized residential service provide. Pricing was fair, and the quality of work was nothing short of professional. Will 100% recommend Leo's Painting to my family and friends when I am asked for "A Guy". Thanks for taking care of my project, Leo's!

I was looking to replace all the carpet flooring in my newly built home with LVP and found Mario…read morehere on Yelp right away. I decided to give him a try--and I'm glad I did. Mario's knowledge and understanding of flooring is top-notch. My home already had 6mm LVP on most of the first floor, but when we removed the carpet in one of the first-floor bedrooms, I did a calcium chloride test and found the concrete moisture level was much higher than I was comfortable with. After doing some research and discussing options with Mario, we decided to apply Bostik coat to seal the moisture. That made a huge difference. We also added a proper moisture barrier on top, which gave me peace of mind. Given the moisture level in the concrete, I ended up removing the original 6mm flooring too. That turned out to be the right call--when we pulled it up, we discovered the old moisture barrier sheets weren't taped properly, just laid side by side. So we redid the whole floor with Bostik + taped moisture barrier + 8mm LVP. Mario managed to reuse most of the baseboards--only one room needed new ones. While the project ended up a bit more expensive than originally planned, the results look great and I feel confident that the floor will hold up long-term. Mario is super friendly, honest, and goes out of his way to help. Highly recommend him if you're considering flooring work!

He took the time to explain what needed to be done and clearly takes a lot of pride in the quality of his work. On top of that, he's just a very personable guy and easy to work with. It's refreshing to meet someone who still approaches their work like a true craftsman instead of just rushing through the job. The repair turned out great, and the whole experience was smooth from start to finish. I'd absolutely recommend Arley to anyone who needs furniture repaired or restored. It's getting harder to find people who care this much about doing things the right way.

We had one side of our backyard fence replaced by Out of Sight fencing. Sadly, it looks horrible…read more The bottom kick boards are angled into our yard and not straight. The board on board is not truly board on board and we can see right into our neighbors yard and vise versa. The fence is not the same height panel to panel, so many nails and screws are popping out creating a hazard, too many warped boards in all areas. In several areas the bottom boards as so angled and not near the ground that our neighbors rock dumps into our yard. Just a bad fence all the way around. It truly needs to be torn down and completely replaced. Very poor workmanship over all.
