"A warning to anyone considering using Sunlight Solar Energy of Bend Oregon. I had a small system installed on my home in Colorado TWO years ago; a location they no longer service. They installed the system on my roof which was 18 years old, and not in the correct condition ( of which I was unaware) to accept panels as the roof was not well ventilated because of short cuts in the building process. The damage was obvious to every single roofing contractor that came to look at it. I could not detect the damage because the pitch of the roof is extreme. After calling several other reputable solar companies, they all made clear it is an industry standard to not install a roof older than 10 years and all companies advise homeowners to have the roof checked first before installing panels. Never once did Ryan Campbell the installer speak to me about the condition of the roof, which had many years worth of damage. His goal was to get the panels up, take my money and disappear. And disappear they did. Ryan's number disconnected, and the Colorado website page for Sunlight has one digit off so that you can't reach anyone that way either. I did however find a way to contact Paul, the president of the company, and ask for help in getting the panels de-installed and reinstalled after the roof gets replaced (on my dime) given they did not discuss the roof with me prior to install. He first agreed to help me by finding a solar company to take the panels down ( a cherry picker is required because it it so steep $$$$$$) and then refused to help at all a few days later. As someone who runs a small business, I am disgusted. I would never treat a customer this way. As a homeowner, and a professor of environmental sociology who professes the value of solar, I am enraged. This company is awful. Steer as far clear of them as you can. There are other companies deserving of your business."

Most earthquake retrofitting jobs take one week to 10 business days to complete. However, your professional retrofitting expert will be able to give you a more accurate timeline for your home once you complete an initial consultation. The total time may be longer for projects requiring more extensive work or homes with structural damage due to a prior earthquake.
You can expect to pay between $3,370 and $8,610 in earthquake retrofit costs, ranging from $500 to $15,000 or more, depending on your type of home and foundation and retrofitting method.
If you have a slab foundation, you can expect to pay on the lower end, between $500 and $3,000. If you have a wooden foundation, that cost jumps to $5,000 to $10,000. A hillside home, not as vulnerable to earthquake damage, typically costs between $5,000 to $10,000 to retrofit while a soft-story home ranges from $10,000 to $80,000.
It is not advisable to try to retrofit your home without the expertise of a professional. These projects usually require a consultation with a structural engineer and a plumber for any gas-related adjustments. Working with a professional earthquake retrofitting contractor is the best way to ensure that any structural work done to your home will help protect you and your family.
First, you can expect the project to be loud. If you have pets, you might want to take them to a friend's house during the day so they are not disturbed by any of the loud noises. In addition, you’ll need to provide the retrofit team access to areas of the house that will need to be worked on, meaning you’ll need to relocate personal items, clear clutter, and make pathways for the crew. Once the project is complete, a local building inspector will conduct a final inspection to ensure that the retrofitting is up to code.
Earthquake retrofitting can increase your home value, making it a great return on investment. This feature is especially valuable in areas prone to earthquakes. Besides the increased safety value (not only for your family but for the next family who moves in), earthquake retrofitting also helps lower homeowners insurance rates. In addition, having your home earthquake retrofitted can make it easier to get a home loan since they are considered lower risk.
