The many moving parts to our residential solar plus battery system, including the various entities, such as PG&E, Tesla, City inspectors, and the financial backers we opted to use all progressed seamlessly and, for us effortlessly, thanks to hard working individuals behind the scenes. In particular, Skyler could not have been more helpful, managing our project and acting as a point of contact. Others included David in sales who demystified the process, Varon who coordinated with the utility to ensure we met all requirements, and Gino, who collaborated with Maxwell Power (formerly HDM Renewable Finance), the clean-energy company that helped finance our residential system. On site, the design and install team did a great job keeping things simple. The entire system, including battery and thirteen panels, was installed according to Ramiros's expert design within just four hours. Good quality hardware was used to tie to the roof, which was inspected by our roofer and given a big thumbs up for not causing problems. But even before that, David our site survey tech, gave us the sense that all would proceed well, as he collected necessary data by drone, and made a favorable first impression with his personable approach. Toward the end of the multi-month process, which included time to get a new roof installed, we passed city inspection with YES tech, Dario, an extremely courteous young man, present to ensure we made it through that last step and PTO (permission to operate). YES has an excellent and well-deserved reputation because of these people and others who worked on our behalf. The company can do better automating some of the process, and to be fair, they say they are working on transitioning to a CRM software solution for this purpose. But, I can say that over a period of several months, I had excellent communication with many helpful people. Skyler in customer service was my primary contact and that made all the difference. My thanks to YES for helping us make this wonderful and complex project a reality. We love our new YES-backed system and look forward to working with the company again in the future.

I had a frustrating experience with Your Energy Solutions regarding a warranty transfer. The…read morecontract stated that an additional charge would be incurred for the warranty transfer but did not disclose the amount. We were later charged $500 with no prior breakdown or explanation of the fee. I clearly communicated that I would be the one paying this charge. Despite that, the service department reached out directly to the buyer and asked who would be paying. This unnecessary contact created confusion and complications during the escrow process that could have easily been avoided. The lack of transparency on the warranty transfer fee and the poor internal communication caused more stress than necessary. Businesses handling real estate-related services should be more careful with both contract clarity and how they communicate with parties involved in a transaction.

If every customer service professional operated like Cherice Hess, Corporate Account Executive at Semper Solaris, the industry would be in a much better place. She truly represents what a Customer Service Agent should be. For eight frustrating months, I dealt with Semper Solaris Post Sale Support trying to resolve outstanding issues regarding two separate rebates: one for a heat pump project and another for a Tesla battery project. Throughout that entire eight-month period, not a single person in Post Sale Support provided any meaningful feedback on the status of the issue, a potential outcome, or a time frame for resolution. I was left completely in the dark--until Cherice stepped in. Cherice immediately took ownership of the situation and turned the entire experience around. She distinguished herself by: Laying out the facts clearly: She took the time to investigate and transparently explain the exact status of both rebates without making excuses. Frankly discussing our options: She laid out practical, realistic pathways to resolve the problem, weighing the pros and cons of each approach. Setting proper expectations: She established a clear time frame for resolution and managed expectations with complete honesty. Following through on every commitment: Unlike my previous experiences with the support team, when Cherice promised a follow-up, she delivered. Every single commitment was met on time. Cherice turned an exhausting, eight-month headache into a professional, transparent, and successfully resolved process. Semper Solaris is incredibly fortunate to have her on their team, and I am deeply grateful for her advocacy, professionalism, and relentless follow-through. Thank you, Cherice!

Armstrong installed a white spray-foam roof on my house in August 2025. I'm very happy with the…read moreroof and highly recommend this company. Before choosing spray foam for the flat roof of my 1950s house, I consulted half a dozen roofers and explored the various options (single-ply, modified bitumen, etc.) and decided spray foam had the best combination of pros and cons, including cost. I was under an insurance company deadline to replace the roof. Wayne at Armstrong was understanding about the deadline and assured me they would meet it. Even though Armstrong is a big company that does a high volume of roof projects, Wayne and the project foreman, Eliseo, found ways to fast-track the job, and they finished a few weeks before the deadline. The project was complicated because of certain issues with the roof. Wayne was great at communicating with us and providing guidance as our carpenter dealt with the various challenges. He always replied quickly whenever I contacted him, and he came by a few times during the prep work we did to check how things were going and provide advice. Wayne has decades of experience at Armstrong and extensive technical knowledge. He was easy to work with and very flexible in adjusting his schedule to sync with our carpenter's work. He was fair and generous in dealing with some unexpected problems that came up. Because of ground settling, one corner of the roof is a bit lower than the others, and heavy rain used to cause a waterfall at that corner. I'd asked several roofers how to fix this. Everyone had a different solution but none seemed completely right. Wayne and Eliseo recommended raising the fascia by 1.5", adding a new drain at the problem corner, and sloping the foam from the fascia to the drains. The problem was that a new downspout at that corner would look terrible architecturally. Eliseo thought of a brilliant solution that no one else had thought of: run the downspout along the siding and tie it to an existing downspout. We did that, the new downspout looks great (minimally visible), and I'm thrilled that their solution fixed the waterfall problem, even during torrential rains. Wayne also provided great advice on various other aspects of project and his team took pains to do a good job, all of which helped with functionality and made the new roof look well-designed and professional. Some of the products that Armstrong uses, like the bonderized steel fascia, are higher quality than what other roofers proposed to use. Note to anyone intending to tear off a tar-and-gravel roof: in our experience the tear-off of the old tar-and-gravel roof was awful. It was done by another company that Armstrong works with. Removing this type of roof is a very messy process. A blizzard of tar and gravel debris and dust went everywhere. The workers put some plastic on the ground around the house, which helped a tiny bit, but with the wind blowing and the gaps between the plastic sheets, the debris went everywhere. Also, Wayne's assurance that the insulation layer on the old roof would keep debris from getting inside the house didn't turn out to be true because of the way the roof was removed. When the tear-off was done, the grooves between the roof boards were packed with tar and gravel debris. The workers wanted to blow the debris off into the yard. We didn't want all that debris in the yard and then had to spend a week vacuuming it up so it wouldn't work its way between the roof boards into the house. Despite all the vacuuming, a lot of debris did fall inside. The tear-off company had tacked up plastic under the ceiling to catch it and they kept saying the plastic would work. In reality, it caught most of the debris but plenty of debris did fall into the house. Cleaning up, both outside and inside, took us a couple of weeks. Maybe there's a better way to tear off a tar-and-gravel roof. Regardless, the new roof is fantastic. Temperature insulation is clearly improved. On hot days, the house no longer heats up like an oven. Heating bills seem to be roughly 15-20% lower. Installing a spray foam roof that performs well requires significant expertise and experience and a top-quality foam product. Armstrong is one of the largest, oldest spray foam companies in the Bay Area, and they stand behind their work with a long warranty. (There are some negative reviews on Yelp. Before choosing Armstrong I asked Wayne about a few of them and he explained the other side of the story that the posters neglected to mention.)
