My husband and I dug in our heels FOREVER, when it came to getting solar. There were all kinds of…read moresalespeople who came to our home on a monthly basis, and we just never had a real peace about being able to trust what we were being " sold", or told. My parents purchased solar from a HORRIBLE company that sounds a lot like 'SunFun'. After they passed away, and the house was sold...we were STILL making the monthly payments for over a year!!! That SunFun organization REFUSED to transfer the solar to the new homeowner, and eventually stopped taking or acknowledging our calls. It wasn't until we had to threaten the new homeowner with a lawsuit that SunFun finally transferred ownership. Due to this, we could not trust any of these solar companies...that is, until Kevin Bedard came to our home, and explained everything in great detail to my husband and I. He took the time to hear about our concerns, and he showed us how he truly cared. That same week, we spoke to two other families who shared their positive experiences about Ambrose Solar that made us feel that we would be in great hands. We had FINALLY FOUND A PEACE about getting solar on our home; KNOWING we would be in good hands, and we were ALL IN. It's been six months now, and we are beyond pleased with our solar panels, and the two Tesla batteries we have purchased. We are true fans, who have NOTHING but RAVE REVIEWS for this company. If you don't have solar, or if you need to add solar, Kevin Bedard is your man! and Ambrose is your company. Every employee has been amazing and helpful. In a world where customer service has taken a dump, this company has remained a class act. So again...if you are considering solar, call Ambrose, and tell them Albert and Rhonda sent you.

My project is now finished and it's been about 6 months turned on and functioning- I'm still so…read moreglad that I did this with Ambrose Solar. Any home renovation project has bumps, and this one had its fair share: after initial install they monitor the systems production remotely to see if it's doing what it's supposed to/expected to, and my system was initially under-performing. They caught it and sent out a team to problem solve it, which took a couple tries, but they didn't drag their feet, they kept on it and kept at it and got it resolved. It was no fault of theirs, just a technology glitch. Core fear was that they would give up after a couple failures and leave me following up with them to get it done, but I never had to worry about that. I also did not end up liking where they placed the control box- it was something that was going to make future maintenance of my house trim problematic down the line. They willingly moved it up a few inches for me (and my only complaint was the team that did that didn't patch the original hole as efficiently as they should have. If I had understood the box placement better on the first pass that would never have happened, so this is a bit of a complaint of my own making.) Jon Landsman, who sold me the system, stayed with us the whole time tracking the project, checking in, and following through on every detail, every question, every concern. He never made me feel like the demanding diva that I am, was always prompt and gracious! The bottom line is that start to finish, even with a few bumps in the road, I have zero question that this is a company that legitimately cares about doing what is right. The culture of deeply valuing customer service that they have built is unmatched by many businesses these days. I am SO pleased, and SO impressed, and I can promise that you will be too!

Thanks Volt! I highly recommend this roofing and solar company. Buck and his team are great: very…read moreknowledgable, hard-working, and have amazing attention to detail. On top of that, they're just good down-to-earth people. We hired them last spring to re-roof our home, replace some rotted eaves and fascia and replace our old solar system (it was inefficient and malfunctioned quite a bit). We are very happy with what we got for the price we paid, it was a good value. It looks so much better than it did before and is consistently producing more energy. I feel like they helped us make the right decisions through the whole process, especially for system size to be able to keep our NEM1 status. The new roof looks great and works really well. I waited almost a year to write this review to make sure there wasn't any water intrusion during the winter storms - not a drop anywhere. They were in the mid-high range in pricing on the bids we got, but I'm happy we spent a little more went with them. Can a roof be sexy? Ours sure is. All in all, if you need a new roof or solar system or home battery, or all of the above, call Volt. They are a competent and professional group of local people who are really f**king good at what they do.

After much research, we had the top six companies quote us estimates for solar on our Loomis house…read more I noticed that each company explained the process differently; some explanations were good, while others left me more confused. When Buck arrived, he stayed until we were satisfied with our understanding, and I learned so much more from his explanations than from all other companies. Considering they were also roofers and understood the difficulty with our high-pitched roof, we placed more confidence in them than the others. Hence, we chose them after a month of research and estimates. Kristen, their assistant manager, was very communicative throughout the entire project, keeping us informed about what was happening behind the scenes with permits, PG&E approvals, and the team's schedule. That helped us understand the project's time frames. Bucks crew -- Jared, Sean, and the others -- were friendly and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently to finish the job, paying close attention to detail. They went above and beyond, including sharing additional insights about our gutters and attic. I could tell they understood the bigger picture, and I am grateful for their effort. After researching many companies, we are happy we chose Volt Modern and will definitely recommend them to others looking for solar installation and roofing services.

Soo.... FINALLY I can post my review of ACR Solar (and Roofing). Understand I had to at least wait…read morefor a few good rains to say I LOVE my new roof and we are in fact "water proof"! I have never been so impressed with the customer service of any company as much as I am with ACR. They did the solar for a new pool last year 2021 and it worked perfectly allowing us the most comfortable swimming experience in our new pool. That was last year... Next up our 25 year-old roof was looking tired. Because of my solar experience with ACR's amazing staff (both in the field and in the office), I decided to get a bid (1 of 4) from them on a new roof this year (2022). Oh my gosh Joe Petersen runs a smooth, courteous, professional company with an awesome team of workers. Not one person was rude, lazy or "questionable". I am one who asks MANY questions because I just like to know and understand "stuff". Joe was so very patient with me. (Thank you Joe, lol). I always try to HIRE LOCAL whenever possible but get at least 3 bids regardless. This LOCAL company came in competitive, were pretty quick to get me on the schedule, and once the job began did not waste a bit of my time or theirs. Thank you so much for your excellent service on both of my jobs. I was able to stay calm and confident that we were in good hands. ~ Janelle

They have treated my home my yard and my plants with absolute disregard. They dragged their hoses right through the middle of my flowers and plants and into the door of my apartment and after they put the brand new flooring down in my bathroom, they destroyed. It was some kind of chemical that left white spots all over the floor. And then even after asking them several times to please pick up their garbage they use our parking lot in our residence like it's their own personal trashcan. I could go on for a long time, but it wouldn't be worth it to me. Please think twice before you allow these disrespectful people to come and treat your home the way they have treated mine.

We had Citadel replace our roof and add solar several years ago. We chose Citadel because it is a…read morelarger company and I wanted the peace of mind that brings in case something goes wrong. We have a complicated roof-line and Citadel did their best to squeeze as much solar as they could onto it. The roof work was quick and done well. They stayed in communication via email and kept us in the loop. Our sales rep, Liam, was great. The reason for my review now, is that we had a small gutter leak develop in a very inconvenient place, right over a doorway. I emailed Liam about it as a warranty issue and they sent someone out within a couple days. Unfortunately, during the next rainstorm we discovered that their first visit didn't solve the problem. I emailed Liam about it again and they came back out again in a few days, and this time fixed the problem for sure and tested it. The easy service after the fact really makes me glad I chose them!

The prices and quote times were made VERY clear ahead of the work so that I knew what I was getting and for how much. Two examples of Phase One going extra / above and beyond are their willingness to take feedback and send someone out, one day after the job was done to fix one small cosmetic thing I'd found after work was complete. Most other contractors once they're paid are really hard to get a hold of, but not Chris at Phase One. Super responsive. They have experience working with the City Offices here and their comfort with the inspectors who show up is because they stand by their work. All in all this is a good business that I hope to see stick around for a long time. You can add me to the list of people who think this company should be your first call in this area.

Chris did good work and we enjoyed having him here during the day he worked on our place. However,…read morehis communication on the business end wasn't the best. We wanted him to add 4 solar panels and do a couple of small interior projects. He didn't know that the City of Davis requires all PV projects to be permitted and that it requires any unpermitted project to be brought up to then-current code upon sale of the house, plus that it requires PG&E to be notified for PV permits (which would then cancel our NEM 1 status). So we had to drop the PV, but also added a bathroom fan. Instead of doing a change order, Chris considered that we'd cancelled the project (entitling him to keep our deposit), even though as a former contractor he probably should have known about City of Davis permitting and informed us about that at the start. In the end he kept half our deposit, but the communication wasn't great. He could have kept us more informed throughout, and told us if he didn't have experience with PV in Davis and would have to do a day-and-a-half of research at the City of Davis (as he says) for the project. Make sure you have everything very clear about your project in advance.

Re: Talbott Solar & Radiant Homes Inc…read more I'm a tenant in a small duplex in Davis with an ancient (1981) solar water radiant floor heating/cooling system. I love the system and it works just fine. The problem I had was that there is something you're supposed to do in the garage [where pipes, pump, holding tank, backup gas on-demand water heater, etc. are on the wall] before you change the little switch on the thermostat panel in the house from Summer to Winter. My old housemate [who recently moved out] used to go into the garage for a couple minutes and then come back into the house and move the switch from Summer to Winter. The thing is, I didn't know what she did in the garage! ------Open/close a valve? Check water level somehow? Turn something on that was off? Fill something? Drain something? Maybe she did nothing, just looked at the wall to see that everything was normal, not leaking, etc. I had been unable to contact her about this. Then one day on my bike I saw a car drive by with Talbott Solar and Radiant printed on the door and thought, 'they must know'. Later I found their website, left a voice message and also emailed my question to them. That VERY SAME DAY I received a reply saying they'd come by tomorrow to help me out. Wow! I'd been toughing it out the last few weeks without any heat, and now, as near freezing night temperatures were forecast for the next few days, I really needed to get the solar radiant floor heat going. Dean, the owner, took only a couple minutes to show me what was what, answer questions, and what to do. No charge. I am grateful and delighted with their oh-so-helpful, friendly and timely service. I'm definitely going to have them do any servicing on this system in the future. Highly recommended!
