#202 of 678 scored in California by Solar.com Installer Score

How does Evergreen Builders compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Evergreen Builders builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Evergreen Builders reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback, updated September 28, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.3/10

Reviewers are broadly positive about the sales experience, especially clear explanations, low-pressure conversations, and practical system recommendations. The limited evidence in this category points to strong proposal quality and flexible handling of customer needs after the contract is signed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear, low-pressure sales approach. Reviewers describe the sales process as informative and straightforward, with several saying they felt no pressure during the decision process. Representative review excerpt: "No pressure, just honest advice and genuine care."

Helpful proposal guidance. Customers say the team explained options clearly and, in at least one case, offered a notably creative solution for battery placement. Representative review excerpt: "I really liked how Giovani Mejía explained it to us."

Flexible after signing. One reviewer says the company remained accommodating and professional after the contract was signed, which suggests expectations were carried through into the next stage. Representative review excerpt: "Once I signed the contract, he was flexible with my schedule, very accommodating and professional."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.8/10

Feedback on pricing and financing is positive overall, with reviewers describing transparent pricing and no notable surprise-cost pattern in the available reviews. The comments focus more on clarity and expected savings than on detailed financing disputes.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Transparent pricing. Reviewers report that pricing was presented clearly and describe the overall purchase process as straightforward. Representative review excerpt: "Shopped around for the best local solar installer in Irvine, and ended up going with evergreen thanks to the transparent pricing and superior bill savings."

Value and bill savings. Some customers say the quote discussion included expected savings in a way that helped them evaluate the project. Representative review excerpt: "Shopped around for the best local solar installer in Irvine, and ended up going with evergreen thanks to the transparent pricing and superior bill savings."

Practical project adjustments. One reviewer notes the team made adjustments in anticipation of future electrical needs, which suggests the pricing conversation could account for planned upgrades. Representative review excerpt: "He also went out if his way and made some adjustments since he knew that in the future I am going to connect an electrical charging station once I get..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.6/10

Communication is mostly praised, with reviewers describing responsive support, careful troubleshooting, and smooth coordination from sales through repair work. There is one complaint about not being able to get callbacks or schedule troubleshooting, but it appears to be isolated relative to the larger praise pattern.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive problem-solving. Reviewers say the team took time to diagnose issues carefully and worked through difficult system questions instead of rushing the process. Representative review excerpt: "We had an issue with our solar system that wasn't easy to diagnose, but they took the time to properly troubleshoot it and figure out what was actually causing the..."

Professional repair coordination. Customers report that technicians arrived on time, completed repairs efficiently, and communicated clearly during the service visit. Representative review excerpt: "The technicians that performed the repairs arrived on time and completed the work in a timely fashion."

One unresolved communication complaint. One reviewer reports difficulty getting callbacks and being placed on a troubleshooting schedule, which is the main communication watch-out in the corpus. Representative review excerpt: "They will not return my calls, put me on the troubleshooting schedule or even communicate."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability7.1/10

Most reviewers describe the work as completed on schedule, with efficient crews and smooth installs. A small number of complaints mention delayed follow-through on later fixes, so the main pattern is timely project delivery with some post-install timing concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

On-schedule installation. Several reviewers say the company stuck to the schedule and completed installations smoothly and on time. Representative review excerpt: "They stuck to their schedule and completed the installation smoothly without any issues."

Efficient crew execution. Customers also describe the installation team as efficient and able to handle challenging custom work without dragging out the job. Representative review excerpt: "He was able to deliver a challenging custom installation on time and budget."

Follow-up timing concern. A minority of reviewers say that once a system issue arose later, they were unable to get timely repair follow-through. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was fast, but 2 years in as soon as my micro inverters had an issue they will not come and fix them."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.2/10

This is one of the strongest areas in the review set. Reviewers consistently describe clean, careful installation work, professional crews, and solid attention to roof sealing, cleanup, and overall site care.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clean and aesthetic installs. Customers say the wiring and equipment were installed neatly and in an attractive manner. Representative review excerpt: "The install itself with all the wiring and additional equipment was done in a very aesthetic and clean manner, which I really appreciated."

Thorough cleanup. Reviewers mention that the crew left no mess behind and paid attention to site cleanup after the job. Representative review excerpt: "We also appreciated how thoroughly they cleaned up afterward—there was no mess left behind, which really stood out."

Attention to sealing and waterproofing. One reviewer specifically notes careful sealing on a flat roof and walls, highlighting attention to waterproofing details. Representative review excerpt: "We have a flat roof and and he made sure that everything was sealed properly on the roof and the walls, especially waterproofing."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support7.9/10

Long-term support is viewed positively overall, especially for troubleshooting, audits, and post-install help with existing systems. There is one complaint about a later repair request not being handled, but the broader pattern is that customers see the team as useful after the initial installation.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Helpful post-install troubleshooting. Reviewers say the company took time to diagnose system issues carefully and provide support after installation. Representative review excerpt: "We had an issue with our solar system that wasn't easy to diagnose, but they took the time to properly troubleshoot it and figure out what was actually causing the..."

Support for later service needs. Customers describe the team stepping in for audits, second opinions, and ongoing solar needs beyond the original project. Representative review excerpt: "I recently needed a professional second opinion and a thorough system audit on short notice, and they really stepped up."

One repair follow-through complaint. One reviewer reports that a later issue with microinverters was not addressed, which is the main post-install caution in the available feedback. Representative review excerpt: "The installation was fast, but 2 years in as soon as my micro inverters had an issue they will not come and fix them."

Bottom line: Evergreen Builders earns a strong overall review profile, with especially positive feedback on workmanship, communication, and post-install support. The main watch-outs are a small number of complaints about repair follow-through and timing after the initial install, while pricing and sales feedback are generally favorable.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
