We recently had our roof
We recently had our roof replaced along with new rain gutters and our attic cleaned and disinfected with new insulation. From our first meeting with Justin to the final inspection RC Energy Solutions exceeded all of our expectations. Justin's bid was exactly what we were charged and the additional wood replacement costs were thoroughly explained in advance. We had no unexpected additional costs. The finished work has improved our curb appeal 100% and with over 6 inches of rain over the last 5 days the roof and gutters are working perfectly. We could not be happier! We would recommend RC Energy Solutions to anyone seeking a quality home improvement. We will certainly use them again

We had a ceiling water
We had a ceiling water leak and thought it was a roof issue. I contacted RC Energy Solutions and Justin came the same day. He was determined to find the cause and was honest enough to tell us it wasn't a roof issue. He offered to climb into the attic and cut a hole in the ceiling and we all realized it was a pipe leak. Not only is he responsive, friendly, professional and experienced, he has a good heart for helping people which money can't buy. We are so grateful that we now know the root cause of the leak and will be happy to hire RC Energy for future work!

Justin was recommended by our
Justin was recommended by our neighbor and installed Solar at our home for a very fair price. Recently Justin and his team installed flooring, interior doors and painted the inside of the home. The job was completed in the exact time of the quote AND our house was professionally cleaned by Justin's crew before we moved back in. Justin communicated well and was helpful in guiding us as we made decisions on products and the look we wanted for our home. A truly pleasant remodel experience. I would recommend Justin and RC Energy Solutions to anyone wanting a personalized experience in home remodeling.

Justin came up with an
Justin came up with an excellent suggestion on changing out three (3) large windows in our home that had an underlying issue with termites. The windows are absolutely gorgeous. The job the his team did was great. They completed the job in less than three (3) days and all the work was done with incredible attention-to-detail. Once the job was complete Justin called to make sure we were happy with the job. I would highly recommend him and his team for any job needed. We are extremely happy and have a beautiful view out our new windows.

ustin and RC Energy did
ustin and RC Energy did an EXCELLENT job on a recent roofing project of ours in Carlsbad. We had a roof leak, and with more rain coming we were keen to get it fixed ASAP. Justin was super responsive and went out of his way to quickly come inspect the entire roof and provide a comprehensive plan. A few of the highlights from our experience with RC Energy: -Very responsive, came out within one or two days to check out the problem -Very easy to communicate with (phone calls, emails, text); spent the time to thoroughly explain things -Thorough in their estimate - written proposal, photos, explanations -Thorough in their work, addressing all issues, anticipating other items that could be a problem down the line -Fair pricing -Excellent work Thank you, Justin and team. We will call you again for any other roofing issues on any properties down the line!

Not only was Justin and
Not only was Justin and his crew professional and extremely hard workers in replacing my roof, I was informed daily, either through emails and/or photos, of the work in progress. In addition to providing me with a solid and up-to-date roof, Justin advised and assisted me through the process of recovering monetary retribution of a former roofer that did a bad replacement roofing job on my home 3 years ago. With Justin's help, I was able to recover the amount that I paid for a bad roofing job from the former roofer. Without his assistance, I would have lost thousands of dollars for a lousy roofing job. Justin's experience, knowledge and integrity is invaluable.

Justin and his team have
Justin and his team have been professional, responsive, honest, and helpful throughout the entire process. We used RC Energy for completely re-roofing our house. This included removing and re-installing the solar panels that they had previously installed years ago with a previous home-owner. We received multiple quotes prior to going with RC and their prices were competitive. Scheduling was predictable and accurate - as was the estimated time of completion for the project. We had some challenges re-roofing our very old home that resulted in a some "uh-oh" moments once RC removed the existing roof. The previous owners had mickey-moused the roof job previously and it needed to be redone the correct way. This resulted in a re-quote of the job for additional work; Justin was transparent throughout and made sure we understood the process and what was happening. We appreciated his team keeping their workspace clean and organized at the end of each day. At the time, we chose not to replace our existing chimney cap that was noted to have some issues during our home inspection. However, with the recent rain we noticed water damage in our ceiling. Justin and his team have been very helpful in covering / tarping the areas, running water tests, and using strategic problem solving to isolate the issue and propose fixes. They have even helped us to re-caulk areas contributing to the issue to help ensure it does not get any worse prior to a proper long-term fix. Justin is always following up with us and helping answer our questions.

Justin came out and offered
Justin came out and offered a DIY project to be the solution to our problem. We really appreciated his honesty and being upfront that we could handle the issue ourselves instead of charging us $350. Thank you Justin!

Fantastic!! We discovered a few
Fantastic!! We discovered a few leaks in our roof over the Thanksgiving weekend. We got on Yelp to look for someone. Justin reached out right away. He came by just a few days later to take a look at our situation. He was very thorough. He explained all our options, took pictures and went over all possible solutions. He was kind enough to give me some tips and tricks to try....and it worked!! I couldn't be more grateful. Not everyone would do that and be that honest, but he was! We will absolutely use them when it comes time for our other project!

These folks know their stuff
These folks know their stuff and operate with high integrity- everything you could hope for. They just did a complicated, large-scale window and door project for our condo - we replaced every single window and door in the entire place. They were communicative, clean and VERY professional. The install team was at our house working for days with me and the baby around, and they were capable, responsible AND considerate every step of the way. I've been working with them for years and, with every interaction, Justin and his team just impress me more. They offer great advice and strong options, but they don't pressure sell you. We were happy to gve them all the business we could, and we hope to add more projects in the near future. These guys are the gold standard for how to run a business. Excellent work, even better customer care. Highly recommend.

Deciding who to hire for
Deciding who to hire for your solar project can be overwhelming. I interviewed 5 companies before deciding to hire RC Energy Solutions. Justin and his team made it easy. Justin is extremely responsive and trustworthy. I didn't feel pressured when making my decision. When I met with Justin, it was easy to see that he knew what he was doing. One of the companies that bid on my project recommended 10 solar panels, which I knew was not enough to meet my consumption needs after meeting with Justin. Another company didn't even show up for the appointment. Bottom line, be skeptical and make sure you trust who you hire. You will have an ongoing relationship with them because everything is monitored and has a warranty. You want someone that is going to fix the problem when you call. I couldn't be happier with the results of my project and my decision to hire RC Energy. Thanks Justin and team for all of your hard work!

Justin from RC Energy Solutions
Justin from RC Energy Solutions bidded for me while I was in the "quote phase" for Solar. Although he did not end up getting my contract, I was very pleased with his offerings, and his extremely competitive pricing. Out of nine companies I got quotes from, I would say Justin was #2 and nearly tied with my #1. I also appreciated how he did NOT upsell me or pressure me to make a decision within a short time frame. I ended up not deciding to redo my roof, but if I had, I would have picked Justin because his pricing for the roof portion was by far the most competitive and included the most bang for the buck. His solar panel designs also reflected his knowledge in local code, as some other bids were too conservative in their roof setbacks and panel locations. He also offers a wide range of panel types for different system requirements. Overall I would strongly recommend engaging RC Energy Solutions in your bidding process if you ever consider Roofing or Solar. There is a good chance they will be the most competitive.

Justin remodel our kitchen and
Justin remodel our kitchen and it came out beautiful. I contacted many other contractors & he was the only one that got back to me quickly. The project was done on time. He did everything from electrical, plumbing & helped us choose design elements. His crew was exceptionally professional. I plan to use Justin in our next remodel endeavor.

We had new roof w/
We had new roof w/ asphalt shingles and solar panels installed. Not only Justin, the owner, but all the crew chiefs were knowledgeable, pleasant and articulate. They were great about keeping us informed and addressing any questions or problems. They worked long hours and weekends to make up for rain days. Minor damage was done to our ceiling from the hammering on the roof and they fixed that for free. My spouse is extremely detail-oriented and Justin never lost patience with all the questions. We would absolutely recommend them and may hire them again if we need other construction done.

My original review was delegated
My original review was delegated to the section of "not trusted" even though it had several positive reviews from others. It contained a lot of information that is important when trying to decide on solar companies. I just had RC do my roof on my rental and was very pleased with the work. I chose them because they had done a great job on my home installing the solar and insulation. Here is my original review: In the summer of 2015 we wanted to do a re-roof on our two-story, 2400 ft. home, and then purchase solar. I had been talking to many companies and even attended the free seminar put out by SDGE. I initially signed with Pacific Home Remodeling as they are approved by the PACE lenders, YGrene. However, I read reviews of Pacific and was not impressed. I used the 72 cancellation clause and canceled my contract. They did try to win me back with a substantially lower bid, but I had already spoken to RC Energy Solutions and was impressed with the reviews I had read online. RC was also approved by Ygrene although we eventually decided to use our Equity Line of Credit. Justin and I renegotiated some items before the 72 hours ran out (Originally I was supposed to pay for any plywood replacement on the roof, but I negotiated that into the bid.) Where Pacific had bid out a whole new roof, RC suggested saving my original tile (which was still in good shape) and doing a re-roof using it with some new tiles being used where there weren't enough original tiles to complete the roof. It was substantially less, so we decided to do that. Included in my bid were 18 solar panels, re-roof using my tiles, new insulation in my attic, and a new solar tube-approx $33,000. They did come back and ask for additional money for some wood replacement and I paid the $1,200 to do it. I was amazed at the workers. They showed up in the hottest weather of the year--consistently 98 degrees and probably much more on top of the roof. They worked non-stop, cleaned up afterward, and were very amiable. D...

Justin & his crew did
Justin & his crew did a great job with our solar installation. Had a minor hiccup with the wrong water heater but besides that we're seeing our energy costs be reduced every month. Justin and his guy Sergio also did a fantastic job on our guest bath remodel recently. Justin was thorough, on time, on budget and communicated with me every step of the way. He picked up all the new materials & installed them, painted our bathroom a beautiful shade of blue. We're already having him quote us on other projects currently. It's nice to have a one stop shop with your contractor. Look no further than Justin Lonson and his team for your solar & home remodel needs! Thank you Justin

This review is long overdue.
This review is long overdue. We used RC Energy to add solar to our nee home (at the same time we were doing a pretty big remodel). We got quotes from 2 other companies and all were very close. We went with RC Energy because I liked both Ken and Justin, liked that they had a good reputation and roofing background and that they could get the job done much quicker than the other 2 companies. Ken was great at working with us to get exactly what we wanted (house and pool solar). The crew showed up on time and got everything done quickly and painlessly, which was huge for us since we had a lot of other contractors at our house. We were up and running within a few weeks and have been happily "off the grid" for a couple months with no problems. I highly recommend.

These guys work together with ivan for the roofing........ivan is tops. With RC I had to work out where the solar will go and I got what i wanted. After a month it appeared to stop working.......they were out here in a day.

So this an update to
So this an update to earlier review that I wrote under very different circumstances. Having had time to consider the situation I have come away with a different perspective on RC Energy I met with the owner shortly afterwards and both agreed that much of problem could have been avoided with better communication. I have an older home that's been highly renovated and much of the previous work was not permitted. This fact alone should have changed our decisions and process. We planned for best case instead of worst case and the city inspectors were less than helpful. We ended doing a service upgrade that included installing a 200amp panel and moving the meter from the main unit to the guest house. RC's team did an excellent job on the installation which involved significant trenching. Needless to say, I did not have to replace any of the stone tiling in my backyard and you can hardly tell that any tiles were removed. Now I have a significant upgrade in electrical service that is much safer and code compliant. Justin also agreed to split the cost with me so that helped decrease the stress level of an unplanned expense. Thanks again RC and cant wait to get my mini-split AC unit installed. Oh and I love my Solar. Cant wait for the tax credit!
