Before you know it, I had a preliminary design of my home with solar placed on the southern roof to my email with a ballpark pricetag. A represenative scheduled a site visit a few short days later to visit the home and have a real life interaction which was key in my decision. Less than a month later, I am producing significant energy from the sun in Squamish BC. The government incentives really pushed me into solar and could not be happier with the results. Thank you!

Tricky install due to multiple peaks, slopes, exhaust vents and 50 foot climb from back yard to roof top. They dove right in and completed the job without incident. Winter months are minimum production but we are getting more than enough KWh to charge our plug in hybrid most every day. Looking forward to increasing output as days lengthen and our overcast rainy winter wanes. Thank you Vancouver Solar for being on budget and on time.

Unfortunately they made a couple of errors. They spilled bitumen on to a deck and tried to cover it up with boards but, worse than that, they left the job with a large pooling area, where water collected and would not drain. Within two days I brought this to their attention. Two different inspectors turned up over the next six weeks, and both said the problem was real; it had been caused by the way they had done the work; it was something that had happened before but had not warned me of this prospect, and they would go back to HQ and discuss it. Weeks past. I received three subsequent telephone calls from nice people, but gradually it became clear that they had no intention of doing anything about it, despite acknowledging they had caused the problem. I was asked to pay more ($900, kindly discounted from $1800!) for the repair. They would not compensate me so that I could do the work myself, and threatened that my warranty would be voided if I did any work myself. As yet I do not have the building inspector sign-off, because the roof won't drain, and the deck is not useable. Penfolds appeared to engage in a scam, in which they used their size and much heralded guarantee mechanism to fend off legitimate complaints and gouge more money out of helpless customers. They are big and 'professional', but believe nothing of what they say of their guarantee. They use their size to put you off, escape their liability and take as much money as they can from you.

Please stay away from this company, my neighbour is having his roof done and the contractor came over to talk about what he saw on our roof and was showing his employees what not to do and when we told him it was Steeves his face just fell as he just did a roof repair in Walnut Grove that they did. They hire inexperienced contractors WHY because they don't care it's all about the money and they will tell you EVERYTHING you want to hear. Steeves will leave you with a mess and you will never hear from them again. How they can be left to do this to people is beyond me.

If you have any issues at all after installation, including damage to your roof, they are next to impossible to get a hold of, and probably impossible to get a resolution. I wish we had gone with a different company for the panels, or none at all, after our experience. If you want to test their phone line for any issue outside of "new business", before you sign with them, you will quickly see that you can't get a human on the line, the bot goes in circles. Emailing them is just as bad.
