Responds fast! Great pricing. Highly recommended! I asked other companies and would take 4-6 week but with sustainable home construction they acted fast and was ready in less than 2 weeks. Thank you for the great job.

We couldn't be more pleased with Josh and his company, this is the second time we have used their service. This time, they replaced 7 windows and two sliding doors during two days. Everything went accordingly as discussed. Josh's crew is really easy to work with. They put a fixed window (we wanted one that opened) and the next day they came and changed it! The best part was that they were super easy to talk too, neat and very efficient. Josh went above and beyond to make sure we were 100% satisfied. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for good quality products and excellent service.

I'm happy to say that I found the contractor I was looking for- great communicator, prompt, and knowledgeable. Josh always answered my calls or called me back shortly, always explaining everything in detail to not only myself, but also to my family. Being a multigenerational home, adding an ADU (additional dwelling unit) was the perfect solution for our family. It allows my partner Jose and I to get the privacy that we need without having to spend the money we don't have to purchase a home. I was waiting on the permits to wrap up with the city for our ADU and my parents additionally worked with Josh on some other jobs at their home. Thankfully, after getting quotes from three contractors, Josh made a deal happen. All of our quotes were done in a PDF format, the layout was clear, and had detailed information of pricing and descriptions. Not only did he take photos of the build, he also captured footage with a drone. I had a very particular vision of what I wanted the space to look like and Josh delivered it. Building an ADU under 500 sq feet while able to meet all of our needs was challenging, and he made it happen. I spent a lot of time thinking about the style and design that I wanted for our home, and it came out exactly as I envisioned! I was very particular about certain things that we wanted, and I'm happy to say we got it. He was able to give me the look and feel that I was looking for at the price we could afford. Our home feels perfectly made for us and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. Thank you Josh for all of your time and patience that you spent with our family. You, Sean, and your team made all of our dreams a reality. We are truly thankful. -Stephen, Jose, and Mendoza Family

Great experience! The window was old and leaking so I had it replaced. Price is fair and the window looks much better now! Hopefully there will be no more leaks!

New windows in our living room.

Had a great experience with this company! Josh was very attentive and informative during the entire process. They installed new windows in our home. Workers were respectful and on time. Will be contacting them again for future projects.

This is the sliding door that was installed by Sustainable Home Construction back in 2020.

Once again Sustainable Home Construction did a fantastic job completing my roof project. From start to finish with city permits the whole crew was on point and very professional. Used the best roofing materials Owen's Corning all the way. If anyone is looking to install a new roof please contact Josh Hernandez from Sustainable Home Construction he is honest and fair with pricing. Trust me he will go above and beyond to make sure you are satisfied with his company services.

I want to give a huge shot out to Josh and his guys from sustainable home construction. Thank you so much for your punctuality And great service also the respect they gave me. I strongly recommend them to any one who needs work done. My work was insulation removal. They didn't make a mess or leave a mess which I thought it was gonna be a big problem since my old insulation was pretty much powder but they were in and out. Their experience is more than these 5 stars Thank you so much see attachments (I'm not a great photographer but it was extremely clean)

Chris G.

This is long overdue review as I have hired them last August. Sorry. Absolutely 5 stars or more. Got 2 windows done. 1 added and 1 replaced. Very satisfied with this company. Professional, friendly, and reasonable price. I'm enjoying my windows with extra light in my bedroom. Thank you to Josh H and his workers. I will definitely recommend this company and rehire in a heart beat.

Our new beautiful happy home!
Carmen R.

This is exactly how I found this company. A five start review from their satisfied customers and my husband and I are so happy we made the choice to go with them. We had been thinking of adding insulation for some time as our home is a bit old. What a difference it has made in our lives. To the point our son can now comfortably sleep in his own room. The professionalism of Josh the owner explaining the products and process was greatly appreciated as we had little knowledge (besides google). The crew was amazing and were so polite as we were working from home when the first phase (insulation) was being worked on. Second phase was removing very old stucco (previous owner was here a little over 40 years). We knew it would be hard work, but again this phase was seamless with such great, reliable crew and Josh's great project management skills. The phase was completed and then came my favorite part. The new windows in the sunroom and the stucco. I wish I had pictures of how our home looked prior to "her" facelift. The sunroom exterior wall was old, had termites and was just in bad shape. With Josh's guidance and extremely professional crew they removed, insulated, fixed and made the room so much more cozier and absolutely beautiful in the back. New windows that we can now open without any loud noises or struggle. I'll end this review with thanking Josh and his crew for their hard work. Every cent spent on this project was worth it. Even our neighbors have complimented the work. Now the house that stood out for being the ugly duckling is now esthetically pleasing and oh so cozy inside.

I originally found Sustainable Home Construction through the REEL website (California's energy efficiency loan program site) as an approved contractor. I called several, and Josh gave me the most competitive estimate and knew what he was talking about. I pretty much trusted him right off the bat. I had him do a LOT of work on the house. We removed the old attic insulation, sealed and cleaned it, added new bat insulation, did the external wall blown in insulation where they drill a couple holes every foot and blow it into the wall, redid the entire roof (complete with replacing a ton of bad rafters and fascia boards), painted the whole house, all new exterior doors and windows, landscaping, some sandblasting on my porch to remove the paint, and lastly, concrete work on the driveway. Although the roofing subcontractor was a total pain in the butt and was the worst possible contractor to work with, Josh mediated extremely well and still managed to get the job done as anticipated, within budget. I added scope on a few things from the original estimate, but the price was always competitive and reasonable for the work added. Sustainable Home Construction is a general contractor subbing out all of the work, but aside from the roofers, every sub he brought to the job was great and a total pro at what they did. Next was the billing after the project was done. Josh handled the financing with the bank (to work with the REEL loan requirements, submitting all necessary paperwork, permitting, etc.) and got it financed and handled really quick. It was effortless for us. Josh was extremely reliable, always easy to reach, very involved in the job, visiting frequently to manage the status and progress of each subcontractor, and honest/friendly to talk to. My particular project was a big one, it was over 50k, but I'm glad I did it. Now I've got the best looking house on the block if you ask me. All in all, I couldn't be happier with the result, and if I had unlimited money to throw at the house, I wouldn't hesitate to hire Josh and his company again. I strongly recommend using him for your project.

New stucco and exterior paint.
ceci s.

We hired Sustainable Home Construction to replace a large sliding door and restucco and paint the exterior of our home. Josh was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. He set realistic expectations and timelines and did a great job following your to make sure things stayed on track. He's very pleasant to work with and he and his team are extremely professional. We had a difficult time finding the stucco color we wanted. He and his team were able to adjust quickly when we changed our mind and and helped us get to the color we wanted. We would definitely work with him and this company again on future projects!

The price was favorable and we asked that it be done soon because we were leaving town. They were able to accommodate us and began work in a week. They did a great job with the roof and finished in 4 days. They were clean and punctual. They even helped us cover up items in the garage with plastic so it wouldn't get ruined. After they were done each day they left the area clean. The roof looks great and recently passed city inspection. We are very happy with Michael and his team!

I settled on Everett Roofing due to pricing and labor warranty. (10YRS, not that you're going to need it) I had a few questions and Mike was quick to answer. We gave a small deposit and set a date. A crew arrived to strip the old roof off and hauled away the material. Whew what a mess, but they did a good job to keep it as clean as possible. Next came Nate, Edward, Mark and Emilio and a load of material. A couple of days later and here we are with a new roof. Mike, Nate & Crew have been doing this for many years and they know what they are doing. Everyone was polite, hard working and didn't push or look for extra work to charge me for. So you need a roof? Give Mike a call and see what he can offer, cause if anyone asks me I'll tell them to contact Everett Roofing!

Glad I went with ASR. Throughout the whole process, I was impressed by Bryan's Professionalism,…read moreresponsiveness, and technical knowledge of details as he had 10+ years of roofing experience and now handles sales for the family business, which gave me a lot of confidence during the project. Importantly, there is no subcontracting unlike some other roofing companies which stated their use in fine print. The entire crew worked seamlessly work together in unison to finish my whole reroofing in 3 days. I was initially skeptical since others stated 5+ days, but I could see how organized and efficient the team was. Since roofing is expensive and stressful, I made sure to get four other competitive quotes from other roofers. The price from ASR came out the best with the same specs, but I would still have went with ASR even if they were more expensive, just because of the trust I had in Bryan. Throughout, I got to meet Bryan's father, Frank who has 30 years of roofing experience and was accommodating to my needs such as when I requested protection of my garden during tear-off. I also met Bryans brother Steven during the shingle installation, which reinforced the sense that this was a family business that genuinely cares about the quality of their work. Finally, after the installation was finished, the team still cared very much about passing inspection for permitting and to ensure their reputation is upheld. Even after payment was completed, they continued providing follow-up support when needed, which gave me additional assurances in their commitment to quality. I highly recommend All Service Roofing (ASR).

They showed up on time, completed my full re-roof in 2 days with inspection lined up at the right time. Held their word and replaced plywood as they said. Did a standout job with communication and timeline, along with cleaning up after themselves each day on-site. I have nothing but positive things to say to the crew. If you want your roof replaced by someone who cares, look no further. FYI color is Certainteed Landmark Pro in Moire Black.

After interviewing four contractors for my new roof, my due diligence paid off with an incredibly…read morepositive roof replacement experience by choosing Baja Roofing. The owner, Jeremy Lara, was the only contractor who recognized two significant problems on my roof that required added work. Jeremy and his entire crew were a delight to work with. I especially appreciated his time, patience, and conscientious consideration of all my requests for protecting my home, both inside and out. The protection his crew provided for my professionally landscaped gardens and hardscape areas was beyond what other companies were willing to do. During the entire week-long process, Jeremy was prompt in returning my calls, answering my questions, and accommodating my added requests. He exceeded my expectations while remaining competitively priced. Considering the additional care, protection, and service included, I felt I received exceptional value compared with the other bids. I only wish every business could be run as efficiently while being so considerate of its clients' needs and remaining competitively priced. My roof came out beautiful, and my property stayed just as beautiful. I highly recommend Jeremy Lara of Baja Roofing.

We received several quotes from roofing companies, and while Baja Roofing was on the higher end, we…read moreultimately chose them due to their proximity to our home and because they are a family-owned business. At the start, communication was excellent. They responded to calls, texts, and emails promptly. I initially worked with Chris, and once the project began, I was transitioned to Greg. Scheduling took some time due to heavy rain earlier in the year, but once we were on the calendar, they got to work quickly. We chose to invest in top-of-the-line materials because we see our home as a long-term investment in a highly desirable area. During the installation, we anticipated there might be additional costs once the existing roof was removed. When issues were discovered, the team communicated promptly, which I appreciated. However, toward the end of the project, communication became more difficult. I had trouble reaching Chris, Greg, and the owner, and felt like I had to follow up multiple times to get clear answers. One situation that felt uncomfortable was when a prospective client came to our home after being told by Chris that our roof had recently been completed by Baja Roofing. While I understand wanting to showcase their work, it was concerning to have a stranger come to our house(especially because I have a small child) without any prior notice. A heads-up would have been appreciated. Additionally, there were a few instances where incorrect invoices were sent to me. Given the size of this investment, that made me uneasy, as I wanted to ensure everything was accurately documented, including the upgrades we paid for. I also raised a few concerns via email that I felt were somewhat dismissed toward the end of the project. Overall, while the work itself met expectations and started off with strong communication, the lack of consistency toward the end made the experience a little more stressful.

PLEASE DONT FOLLOW MY MISTAKES…read more I hired Joseph in February 2025 for a full roof replacement. While he initially came across as genuine, personable, and competitively priced, his lack of competence, integrity, and professionalism surfaced almost immediately. In reality, Joseph operates as a solo middleman who subs out the entire job to third-party crews. --- Upcharges & Shady Payment Requests --- The problems started on day one of demo. Even though the roof was only a single layer of shingles, the tear-off took a few extra hours due to adhesive on the substrate--something he had the opportunity to inspect beforehand. Rather than owning field conditions, he dumped the extra cost on me. When I tried to meet him halfway and split the difference, he threw a fit and refused. On top of that, he pleaded with me to pay his demo sub directly in cash to "help him out." In hindsight, having the homeowner pay his sub directly was a massive red flag regarding his cash flow and business practices. --- Fighting the Contract & Playing the Martyr --- Joseph fought me on clear terms throughout the build and resented basic accountability: Fascia Boards: The contract explicitly stated replacement fascia boards would be primed, but he pushed back with heavy resistance and grumbling when asked to do it. Quality Control: When his crew installed a visibly cracked fascia board, asking him to replace it was treated like an impossible chore. Basic Code Compliance as "Favors": Whenever he was caught missing something standard--like the low pitch of my roof actually requiring two layers of underlayment felt instead of one by code--he acted like fixing his own oversight was doing me the biggest personal favor in the world. Ego Over Accountability: Any time I held him to the contract or questioned his workmanship, his go-to condescending response was: "Are you the roofer or am I the roofer? Who has 30 years of roofing experience?" --- Scare Tactics to Dodge Inspections --- For an attached carport flat roof replacement, he used scare tactics to talk me out of calling for a final city inspection. He claimed the carport might not be permitted and warned it could lead to fines or being forced to tear it down--an obvious attempt to prevent an inspector from checking his work. --- Leaks, Excuses, & Cut Corners --- The ULTIMATE failure was that the brand-new roof leaked around a replaced skylight, damaging the drywall on my ceiling. Dealing with him on warranty repairs was a nightmare: Laughable Excuses: Instead of properly inspecting the flashing, he made absurd claims like "dirt and dust can make a roof leak", blamed mystery people walking on the roof and the directional wind of recent rain events. (laughing out loud as I write this) Band-Aid "Fixes": He insisted the installation was fine and tried to just smear a bead of caulk on top of the shingles. Anyone knows exposed surface caulk is a lazy band-aid, not a watertight repair the solves the underlying issues of a poor install. Evading Responsibility: He actually tried to bargain his way out of repairs, asking: "If I fix the skylight, will you take care of the drywall damage inside?" Shorting Materials: After I refused his surface caulk fix, he finally brought a roofer back out to pull up the shingles and fix the flashing underneath. Talking directly with the crew made it clear what happened: Joseph had shorted them on materials from the start to pad his own profits. --- WARNING --- Do not fall for the friendly sales pitch or the low bid (not that he was a screaming deal). Working with Joseph was an emotional rollercoaster and brought nothing but ongoing stress for me, my wife, and young children. Joseph brought constant pushback on contract terms, cut corners on scope, treated basic compliance like charity, and took zero ownership when his work failed. Find a legitimate, professional roofer instead. I've attached photos as proof of some (not all) of our unfortunate dealings
