At ARC Contracting, we want to redefine the experience you have with your sales person, your contractor, and the support you get along the way. ARC Contracting specializes in residential and commercial full-service exterior contracting, including roofing, gutters, soffit, facia, windows, siding, insulation, and solar.
"Typically I don’t write reviews. However, the process of our project was very poorly managed by ARC despite the reassurance that we would have a project manager. We never saw a project manager through the whole process. We had to manage through many issues and rework, from the wrong color siding being put on, to water coming in my kitchen from the roof not being wrapped correctly and nails sticking out of the roof. From the edging not being finished and siding that covered our cable to siding that was cut in corners for some reason to poor calking and beyond. We had to manage and call or email the issues at every step of the way because no one was here managing the project. The final straw was when they were here to finally fix the issues they were nailing siding into a wall and broke the tile in our bathroom. I asked for ½ of the $5K that I had paid to have my shower tiled since the tile was discontinued and it would be roughly $8K to have it redone today. I thought I was being fair, but this is what I got back: “Again, I apologize. It is not an excuse, but with the transition of some key employees things weren't managed correctly. I would be upset if I was in your position. I would have a hard time recommending ARC also. I did talk with management and we will discount $1,000 for the shower with the understanding there won't be a negative review left online. I don't expect a 5 star review online since you didn't' have a 5 star experience. Does that sound fair?” This is not a company that stands behind their work or their word. I would not recommend them as in a previous email I was told: “I am having a hard time to justify a $2,500 discount to my management for a few tiles that may have broken from siding installation.” They MAY have broken? I’m lying? They also asked me to put in an “accent” color where it broke, where there is no other accent tiles and would look horrible. Thank you, but I loved my shower and now it looks horrible and will need to redo the entire shower. But you can’t buy a good review from me as the $1K is not worth it to me (and yes I was told that they have insurance, so they should have it covered). I have attached pictures that show only a portion of the crappy work that we had to have them redo. Shame on you ARC, I went with you despite you being more expensive than another company because of what you promised. Stand behind your word and your work. Very unhappy customer. Wanitta Charnon"

The average cost to install solar panels is around $26,600, and most homeowners pay between $4,500 and $53,000. Keep in mind that these prices don’t consider the federal investment tax credit (ITC), which can effectively reduce those costs by up to 30%. The price you can expect to pay for solar panel installation depends on the size of the system, where you live, the type and brand of panels, and the labor costs. Get price quotes from at least three solar companies in your area to find the best deal.
In most states, solar installers need to be licensed and insured as solar professionals, although some states don’t have specific requirements for installers. You can use our state licensing tool to check if an installer you’re considering hiring holds the proper licensing. No matter where you live, a member of your solar panel installation company must be a certified electrician to connect your panels to your home and the electric grid.
There are a few qualifying questions you should ask a local solar panel company before hiring them:
Will you handle permits for the installation?
Does your total price include the equipment and labor?
How long do you expect the installation process to take?
What kind of workmanship warranty do you include with your installations?
Who should I contact if I have a problem with my system after installation?
Do you install the panels or outsource the work to third parties?
Will you file for solar incentives for me?
In most cases, yes, solar panels are well worth the investment. Going solar with your home’s energy is expensive, but, in most states, the panels will pay for themselves by reducing your electric bills. Solar panels don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollutants, meaning you can feel good about using this renewable energy source to power your home. Plus, installing solar panels can boost your home value, helping your profit off your next home sale.
Yes, solar panel installation will require permits. The required permits will depend on where you live, as some states and cities have solar-specific permits, while others only require electrical permits to connect to the grid. In either case, it’s best to hire a reputable solar installer in your area, as a representative should handle all of the necessary permitting for you and will include the cost of the permits in your initial solar estimate.
