I hired this contractor for roofing work at my home. During the project -- before final completion and inspection -- I observed several areas that raised workmanship concerns, including interior roof decking condition visible from inside the garage and exterior trim/fascia areas near the eaves by the kitchen back door. I also observed areas where the shingles appeared uneven or wavy and roof-to-wall flashing at the porch and garage areas appeared irregular in appearance. I documented these conditions with photos and brought them to the contractor's attention at the time. Although communication took place, the concerns were not fully addressed. The city inspection later passed; however, my concerns relate to visible workmanship and finish quality issues I personally observed and documented during the project. The project was later marked complete and payment was made in full. I have followed up more than once requesting the final paid invoice/receipt and written warranty documentation, but have not yet received them. This review reflects my personal experience, the conditions observed, and the efforts made to raise these concerns during the job. I am still open to resolution and proper documentation.

I reached out to them regarding my old and damaged roof, Andre was able to get in touch with me and come check my roof out. After his inspection of the damage he was able to give me a great quote. I went ahead and changed the entire roof instead of only the damage area. The price they were able to give compared to the work they did was amazing. The service was great and the job was perfect. These rains put them to the test and my family couldn't be happier. It was done in a timely manner right before the storms and it worked out amazingly. I have already sent a few people over to them. We really thank you guys. read more

Homeowners Insurance said I needed to replace my roof or they wouldn't renew. Came across Gilbert on Yelp and so glad I did. Very responsive, efficient and knowledgeable. Gilbert and team had my roof demo'd and replaced with a city permit within 10 days, and that would've been shorter if the city hadn't delayed inspection. Gilbert also provided an HVAC guy to finalize the install of my Minisplit. Definitely a number stored in my phone for future projects! read more

Gilbert was a God sent he kept us informed every step of the way. There wasn't a time I called with questions he didn't answer. His professionalism goes beyond measure.

Gilbert was great from start to finish. I was referred to Gilbert as I was walking my dog around the neighborhood and came across a neighbor who had his roof recently replaced and he hooked me up with Gilbert. Gilbert's presentation on working with the best material (Owens Corning) for asphalt shingles was educational. After agreeing on a price that moment he got the necessary permit from the city 2hrs later, the following day the roofing crew was tearing off the roof and making any necessary repairs to bring the roof up to code. WOW inspector reviewed roof was up to code, and I had a new roof which took 2 days to replace. Gilbert is customer service oriented he will listen and make it happen! I ended up replacing the roof with a cooling shingle. The technology reflects the sun's rays ...... I can say my home is cooler! . read more

Gilbert and his crew are great. I'm a first time home owner and the roof to our place likely hadn't been touched since it was first built. We called and got a quote from one guy but wanted to get a second opinion and my mom recommended Gilbert. I had no idea that we would be seen so fast and so efficiently. Same day that my mom told him about our situation, he was over within a couple of hours assessing our roof and gave us a quote that was MUCH better than the original one we got and he was even able to help figure out a flexible payment plan that we could afford. Soon after he had his crew over and our roof was done in a matter of a couple of days just in time for the next heavy rain. This has been a huge weight off of our shoulders and Gilbert made the process so easy. I am thankful that he was able to get us taken care of so quickly after having to deal with a leaky roof for about a year and a half. Outside of the actual services provided Gilbert was just overall great to work with. Kept in touch every step of the way, was very kind, thorough and transparent with the whole process. Would recommend him to anyone. read more

Gilbert the owner and the crews that were out to the house did an OUTSTANDING job! They did the ducting and attic insulation, Air Conditioning, Roofing, and shutters! They were on time and professional. The man doing the roofing was Oscar he was beyond belief everything was done to perfection! Gilbert was on time and so easy to work with from the starting quote to the finished billing he knew it all. The price for the entire job was lower by thousands compared to the next bid in pricing!! Before you buy from any other contractor call Gilbert from California Star Construction!!! Outstanding job start to finish!!!!! 10 star rating!!! read more

Renovating your roof can be a a scary situation but not when Andrey and Gilbert are handling the job. They did everything to my expectations and could be happier with the quality of work. Will definitely recommend them to all my friends and will do future home improvements with only them !! read more

Gilbert, the owner, is so reliable and was on top of everything. We had several roofers who we called and had quotes but he was the only one who went above and beyond. He was very honest with the pricing, he kept his word that the roofs will be done in 3 days and I was surprised that even the air duct upgrade and HVAC service was included in that timeframe given that materials were hard to acquire due to the pandemic. He checks on his team at least 2 times a day and gives you an update. I highly recommend him and I would hire him again for future upgrades. read more

I have recently utilized California Star Construction, to replace the roof (2500 square feet) of my mother's home. From the start, this company was so consumer friendly and kept me updated daily, with the progress of the project. Gilbert the CEO of the company made the whole "process" stress free, too bad star rating on Yelp only go to 5 Stars! And of all places to find a "great" roofing company, I found them on Facebook. From start to finish the project was completed within a week! Gilbert encouraged me to ask any questions and/or concerns I had and he made it a point, to always call me with the answer(s) even after business hours! From the estimates I had obtained CSC saved my mother around $8000.00. I didn't only find great contractor I also made a friend. read more

The recent rain caused another small leak unrelated to his work but he came out immediately to check it out. I'm happy and the tennants are also happy with his work. read more

Gilbert was so professional. His guys did a great job and he updated me on everything. He charged a fair price and is highly recommended.

We recently had our HVAC system updated with a 4-Ton and 3-Ton Lennox Units this spring anticipating potential heat waves we would have during the summer. We met with several contractors for this job, but decided on California Energy Star as Gilbert and his team were very knowledgeable and provided great customer service. The work was professional, clean and exceeded my expectations. They provided a detailed timeline, were punctual and worked efficiently. I would recommend using California Energy Star again for another project. read more

The photos taken on February 2022 says it all. The ADU is a total disaster. Funds were provided through the PACE program in excess of $100k two years ago. Additional cash was also given in the hope that the project would be finished. As of date, the ADU is incomplete with no AC or water heater. But worse, the walls have been destroyed and left in disarray. A total disaster! read more

My house was neglected for decades and looked awful. California Star transformed it into something I am proud to look at! I had four bids to do the work and had was going to hire another contractor when someone gave me Gilberts name and number. He came out and gave me a bid lower than the others. It included additional work that i thought I would have not been able to afford. He was straight forward and honest with me about the condition of my house. He provided me with a detailed list of the work he was going to do unlike the other contractors. This is when I knew he was the guy. The crew did little extras I think most contractors would have tacked on to the bill at the end. Nope the final bill was exactly what we agreed on. No extra BS charges. If you are on a tight budget and want a beautiful house call California Star they will take care of you with quality work in a timely manner! read more

We were curious about this program when our city rolled out the PACE funding. Though we were initially wary, our concerns faded quickly when Andrey arrived. He was personable, relatable, and easy to work with. The paperwork for PACE was a breeze, and the work was immediately scheduled. The team they contracted for our roof did excellent work and was clean and tidy. After all the rain this winter, we're so happy to be snug under our new roof! We can't wait to see a difference in our energy bill this summer! Many thanks to Gilbert (owner) and Andrey (sales team) for being great communicators every step of the way! read more

I needed to replace my roof and received several bids. California Energy Star was the most competitive. Gilbert, who is the owner, is very friendly and answered all my questions. In addition to a roof replacement, I had my sky lights replaced and added solar panels. They did a beautiful job. I was so impressed with California Energy Star, I decided to have them update my kitchen and had them install quartz kitchen counters. Gilbert is a really nice guy and answers the phone when you call him. I highly recommend this company and will use them again for future projects. read more

If I could give them a zero rating I would. Over Over priced. We were led to believe that we were getting a really good deal. We should have done our homework. We paid $45,000 to get our roofs done. Sure they hyped us up telling us they would start the project the following week. They did, we even fed the crew, twice. When supposedly the work was done, they broke our skylight, it took them over a year to finally replace it after several several phone calls. They left a mess, nails everywhere, we had to pick the trash and nails all over the property. My husband spoke to the supervisor of the roofers, and he never called us again. He didn't like the fact that we had called him on the work they had done. Some of the tiles on the roof don't match, I called them out on it several times telling me its a shadow, but you can clearly see it is not. My husband told them not to drive their truck on our lawn because we have a septic tank where they parked there heavy truck. The roofed leaked in some places with the first rain, approximately 8 months after the new roof had been installed. Again it took several months for them to come out and check it out. But most of all taking advantage of us elderly and painting a pretty picture and making it seem that it was a good deal. Lesson learned, we later got several estimates from a reputable company and they were shocked at what we paid, they informed me that it would cost between 25-30 thousand to get our roofs done. Shame on this company for taking advantage of people. read more
