 + 0 moreWe live in Northern California. Our house doesn't have natural gas, so everything works with electricity. Our average monthly bill was around $500 a month. We had few estimates to go solar. But then, I heard from one of our relatives on the east coast, that they were very pleased and had a good experience with Modern Solar which had installed them a solar PV system. The company happens to also service CA. So we contacted the Modern Solar branch in California. They came to our home, did all the measurements and listened to us and our needs. We had the proposal the same day for American made products at a very competitive price, it was less than the two earlier estimates which would have installed foreign made products. Shortly after our acceptance, we had the design for 90% supply generation along with all engineering calculations required for the system in our area. They came to our home and finished the job in very short time. They got the system online and running and handled all the incentive work for us. We have had our system for over 9 months. The system they installed for us is producing more electricity than we were anticipating. They told us, the reason is because of the high quality micro inverters and high efficiency American made PV panels. We are very pleased to have made the right decision choosing Modern Solar as the contractor for our solar project. We recommend this company and would hire them again to expand our system if we decide to go with new electric cars.
Description of Work: They assisted and provided us with the right system for our energy needs.

 + 0 moreThe company sales staff contacted me and explained that there was a great opportunity to cash in on a great state incentive as well as a tax bonus from the federal government that would cut the installation cost by approximately 57%. Naturally I was interested so I asked more questions and each question was answered with knowledge backed up by charts and calculations that proved to me the level of experience and the professionalism of this company. I was told that in order to make best use of the solar panels i would benefit more from a smaller system (rated for 80%) of my total energy needs and a 6 KW system. In the year proceeding the installation the panels out-performed the original estimate a I was at peak production of 90% + for the 12 month production from December of 2012-December of 2013. Very happy with the purchase. Modern Solar definitely made it easy for us to make the right decision.
Description of Work: extremely professional and personal service from both ownership and their respectful employees. Thoroughly explained the process of the installation of the panels and personally inspected each and every pole for roof damage as well as examining all brackets and each screw that attached the panels to the brackets for sustaining winds in excess of 110 miles per hour. Followed through after the sale for over a year so far to check and ensure the functionality of the panels. Great experience with this company. Very respectful of our home. Cleaned the work area each work day and set up again on the following day.

We highly recommend their service. They are impressive.

 + 0 moreIt went great, from start to finish. We worked with Edmund and his father Moe. They run a family business with integrity and are knowledgeable about what they're doing. Everything went smoothly and was taken care of professionally. We pay nearly nothing for power now. They handled the design, the permits, the incentives and the installation. They're great people to work with and have become friends of ours in the community. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They installed an American made 2.5 KW Solar System on our tile roof that offsets almost 100% of our power.

 + -1 moreMand S Construction did a good job. I felt confident that they were completing the task in a workmanship-like manner, and that I was not being overcharged. Mo, the owner, communicated well with me when the workers discovered that the roof had suffered more water damage than originally thought, and proposed a good way to save me money on the extra materials that were required. I only have two complaints: 1) Mo said he'd have his and quot;stucco guyand quot; come the next week to repair some stucco on the side of the house that had been damaged (not by Mo's guys, but by the rain that was seeping in through the faulty roof), but the guy never came and my reminder calls went unheeded; and 2) There were lots of bits of roofing material and nails left around the yard. But all-in-all, I would recommend Mand S Construction.
Description of Work: Replaced portion of roof.

 + 5 moreOverall everything turned out great...loved all the improvements to my condo and Moe and his worker were very professional, efficent and clean.
Description of Work: When I bought my condo I was looking to find someone to come in and do all the work I needed from A to Z. And Moe was it. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in making me make the right decisions for my remodel. I had florescent lights in my kitchen and hated them. We decided to take them out and replace them with recess lights and it looks amazing now!!! I also had bought all new appliances for my kitchen Moe was able to install all of them. My laundry room had been damaged due to a water from upstairs neighbors and he tore out all the dry wall and my water heater, washer/dryer had to be removed. After a few days the drywall was back up and painted . The water heater, washer/dryer were back in with cabinet and countertop. Once everything finished it looked perfect. I have always hated having a tv on the wall, but the way my condo is designed I really have no other choice to put my tv on the wall on top of my fireplace. Moe had a great idea that I loved so I told him to do it. instead of just installing the tv on the wall he cut into the wall the shape of my tv and then mounted the tv inside that area. The look of it is so much more elegant. I would have never thought of the idea. Finally in my master bathroom I have double vanity sinks but had the old school one long mirror going across with some old light flxture. Moe took the mirror and light off and we installed two individual mirrors and matching light fixtures above the new mirrors. After this change it looked like I had remodeled my whole bathroom. And finally but not least he painted my front door (both sides) Moe did a fantastic job, I cant wait till my next project so I can call him up.

 + -1 moreI was completely satisfied with everything they did. Mossen Shadman was the person we dealt with. He came out and gave us an estimate. We got three estimates and his was not only the lowest, but he also brought to attention other work that possibly may need to be done. The other construction people did not even bring all that to our attention. We appreciated what they did. We hired them and he came and started the work at seven in the morning. They were pretty much done my five that afternoon. They tore the whole roof off and put a new one. They put a torch down roof for us. He came back the next day and did some touching up that was needed. He was on time, honest, and he had the highest integrity. They did a fantastic job. We are completely satisfied. I will most definitely use them again.
Description of Work: I used M & S Construction Co to replace the roof on our cabin last month.

 + 7 moreCalled Moe to see if he could meet us that day and arrived early to give us an estimate on the original work we wanted done. We called him again for another estimate on a Saturday and again he arrived early. Moe emailed us the estimates within two days of meeting with him. Moe was very punctual and friendly with everything. The best contractor we have worked with or seen. All of his employees displayed great safety techniques and were courteous. There were no surprises that were not handled professionally and in a timely manner. M and S Construction insisted on quality work through out the job, NO Shortcuts! M and S Construction is the company that you would send to work on your mother's house. Excellent!
Description of Work: Repaired wall and door frame that was damaged due to water. Cleaned up mold that was caused by the water damage behind the dry wall. Installed 6 junction boxes for ceiling fans and ran switches to the walls. Installed the ceiling fans. Corrected faulty wiring on the house to bring it up to safety codes. Enclosed a porch into a sun room: laid footings, framed the walls, installed two windows and two doors, drywalled the sunroom. At the end of the project Moe did a lot of little things for free.

 + -1 moreI got the number from Angie's List and spoke with Moe. He was very pleasant and professional on the phone. They came and gave me an estimate and set up a time line for the job to be completed. I requested that they add gates and 3 bars across the back of the fence to make it durable. Throughout the whole process they were very easy to communicate with and very professional. They educated me on what they were doing the whole time; there was no surprises. When the job was over, they cleaned everything up. They followed through with everything they said they would! My neighbors even had them do work because they were so impressed. Overall the company did a great job! They are a great company with very good experience in the construction field.
Description of Work: They came over to make a wooden fence out of redwood and they also stained it.
