  We had initially started a solar project with PetersenDean, but they went bankrupt before they could installed our system. Earlier, we had had our Generac generator serviced by Brandon at Modernize, back when PG&E was first shutting off power due to fire danger. So we contacted Modernize about picking up our solar project. Modernize made several recommendations, revised the plan, and installed the system in a very timely manner. The system has been running for a month and a half, producing about a megawatt-hour a month now, on target with what we had hoped for. Great response, very professional, and we are extremely satisfied.

  Modernize recently installed a new Generac standby generator and new panel for us and their team is top notch. Their quote was the lowest and the work was done exactly in the quoted time. Eric did a great job walking through the sizing and estimate. Nick and his crew did a great job with the install, working well into the evening to make sure everything was on schedule and done right. The panel itself was a lot of work and was done professionally and very cleanly. After a small oversight (most likely on my end) the Manager Brandon called me and came out that night after his regular jobs and got me up and running.

  Modernize Power is by far the best contract company I've worked with since we bought our house 4 years ago. We have a house built in the 60s with an old Zinsco panel that couldn't handle the upgrades we wanted to do to our house. One Yelp inquiry led me to Eric and his wonderful crew. Unfortunate for us, the upgrades we were planning wouldn't be as easy as a simple panel swap. Eric was always up front about the reality of the cost in having to bring underground cables up to code and having to work with SMUD to make sure everything was on the up and up. Every step of the way Modernize Power prepared us for what to expect when it came to timelines and processes. My project manager, Brandon, was an absolute delight. He was quick to respond to all my questions, even if they were repetitive. Jason the lead electrician, Nick the lead installer, Sam, and Julian were continually professional, clean, and an absolute joy to speak with each and every time they were here. I absolutely can 1000% recommend Modernize Power for all your domestic electrical needs. I can sleep soundly knowing I won't be having any further electrical issues and can continue to improve our home thanks to Modernize! I wish there was a 6 star option!

  Modernize did a total overhaul of the exterior of my house. They subcontracted roof, siding, a mini-split, and Anlin windows. Their crew installed a really high-quality array of solar panels. They also completely transferred my electrical main panel to account for a logistical need having to do with my swimming pool setback. I would recommend this company bar none. Josh, Brandon, Eric, and the rest of the crew are a pleasure to work with...they even remained patient when the county inspectors asked them to fix the most minor issues! They are super knowledgable and worth consulting if you have a project in mind.

  Modernize Power installed a 22KW Generac whole house backup generator and a 14.8KW Panasonic ground mounted solar array with Solaredge inverters and optimizers. Although the most expensive by far for the generator, I was satisfied that Modernize was taking care of the system from soup to nuts including all the propane work. The install team was professional and courteous. The quality of the workmanship was superior in every way -- to the extent that the inspectors commented on it as well (I'm an electrical engineer, but not an electrician). My disappointment, hence the 4 out of 5 was the solar. Although the solar system is 50% larger than my solar on another home, it produces 25% less energy due to the placement. The whole purpose of the solar was to ensure we were completely independent from the grid in terms of net energy production, especially since we are planning for a battery system as well. That has fallen far short of our needs.

That has fallen far short of our needs. It would have been better to build a bigger system or change the placement to ensure my goals were met. I would have gladly paid more to have a larger system, but I was told this system would meet my needs. It wasn't until it was too late that I noticed the low production *after* the system was fully commissioned.

  I have used Eric and his team at Modernize two times in the last 6 months for projects at my home. The first project was the installation of a Generac whole house generator. From start to finish Eric and his team were very professional, responsive, and got the job done on time. The second project was solar installation. We are thrilled with the finished result and have recommended Modernize to close family and friends.

  Modernize Replaced my Windows & Roof and added Solar and a Propane Generac Generator. I couldn't have been more impressed with the entire process. They came out and talked about all the possibilities and really listened to what we wanted without selling us on extras. All the products were top of the line so we really didn't have to shop around. They completed the whole project within the timeframe we agreed on. We couldn't be happier with everything they did and it LOOKS AMAZING!

  We had a whole house generator installed by Modernize Construction. Eric Caldwell was amazing and so helpful and always answered my silly questions. Josh, Mike and Nick were all great and always professional. They were always on time (which is rare) and they stayed late to finish what they were working on. I would recommend this company and will be calling them in the future for other jobs we may have. Thank you all for being so dedicated and I can tell you love what you do.

  Loved working with Eric and Josh on our new solar system. It's now up and running and we couldn't be happier. Thanks Modernize!

  We recently purchased our home, and wanted to do several upgrades to the property starting with solar power since the summer weather would be soon upon us. We interviewed several different companies, but modernize construction was clearly the best choice. I do like doing most of my own work around the property, however their knowledge and expertise went far beyond my expectations. Not only did they do the solar installation, but they also upgraded my home heating, cooling, insulation, garage electrical, installed wiring for a future car charging station, and replaced our aging outdoor porch with a beautiful modern porch, which now includes lighting, skylights, and fans.

  Eric Caldwell did an amazing job explaining everything to us about the solar panel process. We are thrilled with the performance we are receiving from our 18 panels. The installation went smoothly and everyone we dealt with was completely professional. We were comparing prices with 3 other companies and we were able to get the most bang for our buck with HomePro/Modernize Construction!

  Modernize is a class act. Very good communication which is refreshing these days given the flakiness of many contractors and they are true to their mission with providing value as at reasonable cost while maintaining a personal touch. I highly recommend them and Eric has been great to deal with.

  After speaking to 7 other companies about solar I decided to go with Modernize Construction. I couldn't be happier with my decision. The entire crew was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They were always on time and were very good at communicating with me throughout the process. The completed project was done remarkably fast. In the end, when I look at the work they did, it looks like it has always been there, everything is painted and matches my home.
