Daniel did an amazing job on our roof. He is honest, knowledgeable, and responsive. We got multiple…read morebids before going with Daniel. He discovered a problem AND worked it into the bid. I think many companies would have waited until the job was started before breaking the bad news. As a result, the cost at the end of the job was the same as the bid at the beginning, no surprises. When was the last time that happened? Daniel responded quickly to all questions, via text, email, voice mail. The job was completed within the expected time and our property was clean at the end. When we expand we will bring him back and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone, including friends and family. Thank you Daniel!

Having received several solar bids in 2014 when I was first exploring the option of going solar…read more(and no less than eight more here in 2019), it was immediately apparent that the majority of outfits were content to send out a salesman with minimal to no engineering experience. These high volume factory installers would, without exception, offer a minimally detailed proposal that did not take into account my personal goals for the project, and in many cases were not even code compliant. Alfred at Solar Xpress took the time to discuss various options and explain in detail why (or why not) certain ideas could work or where we might run into potential issues with permitting and inspection. Initially, his bid was not the most competitive that I had received, but his inspection was the most thorough and after discussing other proposals that I had received, he was willing to negotiate a contract that I was happy to accept. His attention in dealing with my city's burdensome permitting and inspection processes, as well as his communication with me regarding the progress at all stages of this project, was admirable to say the least. His electrical crew, Mike, Mario and Tony, were friendly and skilled in their trade, and made an extra effort to work around aspects of our garden that we hold dear, going so far as to dig out and relocate a few plants so that they would not get damaged during the construction phase of our system. With all said and done, Solar Xpress proved flexible and upheld all of their agreements. They were happy to use whatever hardware I requested, and were able to adapt to some issues that came up with my roofing crew, as this install was done concurrent with a new roof installation such that I would have the assurance of my roofer that all waterproofing issues were adequately addressed. My sincere thanks to Alfred, Mike, Mario and Tony. Couldn't be happier with my 8.91kW system! If you are considering going solar, I would strongly urge you to get in touch with Alfred. Even if you think you have a good deal elsewhere, take a minute to send the proposal over to Alfred and see what he can do about it. He might surprise you... he definitely surprised me! :)

I had estimates from the "big" providers with reps calling from every which place to get my…read morebusiness. Their sign up process was lengthy, their prices very high and, most unusually, wouldn't give me references in my area for similar installations. The people they sent for a site inspection were ex-installers promoted to site inspectors after a few months. I decided to skip solar. Till I ran into Alfred working on a house down the block from me. We chatted for a while. Got to know each other, face to face. He answered my questions about engineering the install, how many years experience he's had in this line, how the installation would affect my concrete tile roof, what his lead time is, how long it should take to install, etc. He pulled out his phone/calculator and whipped out a $$ number. A number that was much more reasonable and realistic. We shook hands and I told him to proceed. A few hours later, he sent me an email with a two-page invoice/proposal requesting a down payment. He also provided me with an extensive list of referrals of residences he'd done in and around my area. I checked up on them and learned of his excellent work and "no problems with the system" nearly universal reply. He actually installed my system a month EARLIER than promised, took only two days, finished all the hardware/software stuff, passed inspection and turned it on. He and his guys KNOW what they're doing. There you go: Electricity from the sun, turning my meter "backwards" even in the few sunny hours in November in SoCal. Even the accompanying app from EnPhase which keeps tabs on how my panels are producing works fine. Alfred also mentioned that if my electrical needs grew in the future, adding more panels is readily doable. As presently installed, my 20 panels should suffice to cover approximately 100% of my present electrical needs, on average over a year (including a slight decrease in panel efficiency due to aging). I would recommend Alfred and his very capable crew for solar electric installation.

First off, Alan is a pro. He's trustworthy, patient and extremely easy to work with. I also love…read morethat he works with multiple vendors to get you the system that works best for you and your situation. He's not pushy and never pressured me at any point. He also answered all of my crazy questions because I had a ton. I waited to do my review because I was a real skeptic when it came to the value of Solar. My neighbor used Alan and I decided to give him a call to see if Solar would help me. After talking with him, he drew up plans and said I would save a ton of money, but to be honest, I was nervous to pull the trigger and tell anyone I did because I figured there was a catch. It wasn't until I could compare my bills that I regret not going Solar sooner. I purchased my system on a 20 year finance term, which gives me a flat Solar finance bill per month way less than my cheapest Edison bill (excluding that month you get the energy credit). Plus I pay Edison for being on the grid. To show you the value, In July 2021, my electric bill was $269. July this year my bill was $12 (their connection fees), plus I have a credit of $43 that'll get trued up after 12 months. I'm including pictures comparing bills year over year for reference and the energy credit. I say the best time for calling Alan is today. He's been in the industry for so long and really knows his stuff. He also will never lead you in the wrong direction, or upsell you on something you don't need. For me personally, I wanted a battery but he helped walk me through the pros and cons and in the end, it wasn't right for me. I appreciate that advice and can always add a battery down the road if my needs change. He also walked me through why a panel I thought was good didn't stand the test of time and that a better panel existed for the same money from a more reliable company. Thank you, Alan!

Osborne Building Corporation provided a partial remodel of my house and did a complete remodel of…read moremy office. The house included a new kitchen, new bathroom, new roof, redwood siding, new windows, the addition of central air & heat and they turned a basement into a usable well lit living space. The office included a complete remodel, a fully gutted space which they completed on schedule - a beautiful buildout based on a challenging, complex design. It's hard to find a construction company with both skill and responsibility but Graham Osborne is just that. The craftsmanship was great, but above all else I appreciated the incredible honesty which is hard to come by. An excellent finished product and the timely manner in which it was done was refreshing. The prices are fair and Graham's team couldn't be nicer. I would highly recommend working with this company.

If you are looking for contractors I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

This company is flat out GREEDY and SICK…read more My mom reached out to ABI because of a flyer she received that advertised "Lowest Price". She is ELDERLY and speaks VERY LIMITED ENGLISH but they sent out two salespeople, Ari and Chris, who SPENT 4 HOURS AT HER HOME and in the end got her to sign a multi-page contract that she DID NOT UNDERSTAND nor could read, all while NEVER OFFERING a family member or translator to be present as they keep trying to claim after the fact, or giving her the option to consider the contract or review it with someone before signing. To this day, she has never been made aware of what the terms of the contract were and cannot read it. My mom was charged nearly $34,000 for roofing on a ~2600 sq ft. roof, quoted another $6000 for the gutter. We had two other roofing companies, including a C-39 roofing specialist look over the contract and the roofing in-person, and both agreed the high end of the job to be $26,000-28,000 INCLUDING the gutters. That's a $10,000 upcharge on the high end of another roofing company. She felt, at some point before the job begun, that she had been TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF, grossly overcharged, and was CHEATED into signing a contract for an unreasonably high price, something she was not comfortable with. She had an acquaintance reach out to the company on her behalf and try to cancel the contract and ABI refused to cancel it, stating it was beyond the 3 day cancellation period. What they didn't mention or honor was a cancellation clause of the contract that allows for cancellations after 3 days with a penalty/charge. Instead, they didn't giving her the option and refused to cancel the job, again taking advantage of my mom for not understanding the terms of the contracts or her right to cancel. They went ahead and sent contractors to do the roofing on her house DESPITE HER DISSATISFACTION with the cost and attempt to cancel and cited the fact that she did not "call the police to trespass them" as an indication that she was fine with the job. No elder immigrant lady with limited english would even consider that, and it's absurd to act like that was a reasonable indication of her wanting the roofing done. My mom contacted their salesperson multiple times through text and call before and during the job to try to ask for a fairer price, and was ignored on EVERY attempt. In the end, my mom felt PRESSURED, POWERLESS, and EXPLOITED. She deeply regrets ever entering into a contract with ABI, who did not give her the dignity of honoring what was clearly listed on the contract as a right for her to cancel and made her feel like she had to go through with the roofing and paying for it. I firsthand experienced the tone and emotionality of their salesperson when they came by to ask my mom to sign off on the completion of the job and found it extremely pushy, whiny, and unprofessional. Then, I got a call from Michael B trying to frame the situation as "buyer's remorse" which was deeply offensive and disrespectful to someone who is clearly expressing they feel cheated and taken advantage of and arguing against every question or clarification I asked for. To top it off, when I tried to end the call, they decided to THREATEN ME LEGALLY, stating my reviews I've posted go "beyond libel and defamation", according to their so called lawyer who they had spoken to already. This, in itself, says everything you need to know about how this company operates. They'll use scare tactics to try to get you to take down a review, rather than putting in any effort to make things right. Rotten company. Rotten ethics. TOTALLY UNCONSCIONABLE. It's disgusting to me that a company could operate this way and act so entitled to taking advantage of an old person all while trying to convince everyone they didn't do anything wrong. It seems like all they care about on here is being right, using dismissive language to paint every bad review to be "misleading", "false", "inaccurate" and deny any possibility of wrongdoing to avoid accountability, all probably so they can keep their dirty money. Michael B: One quick search "In California, elders are defined as persons 60 years and older. Under California law, elder abuse can be both criminal and civil." There's no use focusing on semantics to be right and spending so much time reframing the situation to benefit yourself. ABI and you especially have done enough damage and this pattern of deflecting has been in nearly every single one of your responses to every poor review on here. It's never your fault, you never do anything wrong, someone else is always wrong. When will you stop caring about protecting your image and actually doing right by the people that give you your paycheck? My mom DOES NOT have any adult niece living in the US, nor do I any female cousin. She worked as an accountant at a mandarin speaking company in her 20s, the rest of her career with Spanish-speaking clients. What a claim by Michael B!
