Anna Lefler23 days agoI can’t say enough positive things about working with Ground Up Builders, and my project manager Amir Afuta in particular. From my first introduction to Amir and the company, I was impressed by the level of knowledge, professionalism and genuine warmth he brought to the project. In the early stages, he listened to my hopes and concerns related to my substantial condo remodel, and he worked seamlessly with the designer based on his extensive experience as the design took shape. Then, throughout the demolition and construction process (which included taking the kitchen and large primary bath down to the studs), Amir was consistently on-site to supervise, and he was extremely on top of the details of the project. With all remodels, especially those in older buildings like mine, there are unexpected hiccups and challenges that result from things like geriatric plumbing systems. In these situations, I quickly came to rely on Amir’s calming presence and confident demeanor to relieve my stress about whatever obstacle had arisen. No matter what was going on, he had a plan leading to a solution. And if I had more questions later, I knew he would pick up if I called. My project has been completed for a few months now and I’m thrilled with my new home. All of the work was done beautifully and with great attention to detail. I have to say, the place looks amazing – a result well beyond what I had originally envisioned thanks to our wonderful team. Special shout-out to Amir’s full-time crew as well as specialist subcontractors – they were all warm, friendly and patient with all of my questions along the way. I’m so grateful to have worked with Amir and his team – I can’t imagine undertaking another project without him, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Ground Up Builders.Posted on Google
Alexander LaCasse57 days agoI just finished a several month journey with GroundUp Builders. When I first met Kobe I knew right away that I was in good hands. He was honest, direct, and highly communicative from day one and the work was stellar from start to finish. Construction is naturally very stressful but Kobe kept my anxiety at bay and helped me through many of my frequent adjustments and indecision.Posted on Google

Lorraine Sarles82 days agoUzi is incredibly responsive and professional. His team is hard working and reliable. I wanted to give a quick update, as Uzi's team has since done several more projects for us. He created a tiered backyard oasis on a steep yard, which included a beautiful wooden deck on one level, and then stairs down to a custom fire pit area and outdoor kitchen. Everything from plumbing to electrical to finish was tended to with such an eye for detail, and we are so appreciative!Posted on Yelp
Jennifer A.249 days agoIn 2023, Ground Up Builders finished building an ADU for us as part of a garage conversion. This became a unit for my parents to live with us. Between 2016 and 2020, they also remodeled our kitchen and two bathrooms. Every time we have needed some work done, I call Uzi. Basically, there is no contractor/builder like this--it is now 2026, and I called Uzi today because of a concern about a leak that we discovered with the recent rains. He sent out his team immediately (eg., same day) and they discovered that squirrels had caused some damage. They covered the area to prevent further problems until we can get this fixed. Ground Up Builders is an incredibly responsive and highly professional company that does outstanding work and continues to be conscientious and gracious with any follow up issue. I am grateful for Uzi and continually impressed by his team. You won't ever go to anyone else after working with them!Posted on Yelp

Lauren Worsham290 days agoWe cannot recommend Ground Up Builders enough! They converted our two-car garage into an ADU and did a truly amazing job. They finished ahead of schedule, communication was great throughout the process, and every single worker we interacted with was professional, kind and courteous. Uzi runs his business with both warmth and integrity. He generously answered every question we had (even the stupid ones!), and offered a lot of valuable advice too. We particularly appreciated that he kept his promise to not go over budget. There wasn't a single change order, even when there was an unexpected issue with the sewer line - he explained that the contingency would cover the additional costs. Such a relief knowing that what he bid was what we'd pay! Special shout-outs also to Marvin, Raphael and Nathan who were a pleasure to work with. Highest possible recommendation!+5Posted on Yelp

Nora Singley323 days agoWe’ve worked with Uzi and the Ground Up Builders team on a number of projects in our home — from gut renovations of two bathrooms to opening up walls in our kitchen, installing new lighting and electrical, mold remediation, and refinishing all the floors in the house. Oh! And when we had an emergency plumbing situation a week after moving in having nothing to do with his work, Uzi sent his team immediately to help. While Uzi is incredibly capable with major renovations, he approaches even the smallest jobs with the same level of care. Truly, no job is too big or too small for him. Uzi is smart, thoughtful, patient, and deeply experienced-- he's like a walking encyclopedia -- he has answers to everything! He’s also an amazing communicator — always available, always willing to explain every step. We’re not the easiest clients (we’re very particular and even more indecisive!), but Uzi never once made us feel rushed or like we were a burden. He always walked us through every option and every choice. His team of painters, tile installers, plumbers, handymen, and more — are all so kind, skilled, professional, and respectful-- always putting on booties before entering and cleaning up after themselves when they finished. We always felt comfortable with the Ground Up team in our home. We appreciate Uzi more than we ever thought it was possible to appreciate a contractor. In short, we recommend him and Ground Up without hesitation.Posted on Yelp

Jacob is incredibly thoughtful in his communication, always taking the time to explain every step of the process clearly.

We needed to remove a bath/shower tile surround to re-waterproof and retile, and replace the fixtures. We went with GUB after getting their name from a tile vendor and meeting with more than one alternative. GUB were the most expensive by far but also were the most responsive and had the most professional and comprehensive bid. All of the legal paperwork and their license information was included, along with a detailed scope of work and examples of past work. Adi Aiish was our Field Manager. He’s friendly and very responsive and our overall impression was that the additional cost would be worth it to have a professional job. To be succinct, here are the pros and cons from the project: Pros: - Responsive field manager - Very fast demolition and quick work overall - Crew was hard working and polite, especially Antonio - Tiling work looks good Cons: - When a piece of plumbing broke and flooded the ceiling below, the response was that things like this happen. It took 5 days for the field manager to take a look and offer an apology. - During demolition, the mess was off the charts bad, leading to a lot of cleanup for us afterwards. During the project only the floor was covered (and on one day not at all). I’ve had other renovations done that were much cleaner. - The finishing was not as polished as I would have hoped. The caulking around fixtures was messy, the tile tilted slightly revealing the old seam around the floor, painting that was in the bid was only one coat until I asked for more. I think the M.O. is to work very quickly and fine tune the finishes only after being asked. Overall we’re happy with the result but would have liked them to go a little slower to be more careful.+1Posted on Google

Aaron F.364 days agoI had an excellent experience with Jacob Hirschorn and Ground UpBuilders! They came out to inspect a problem I was dealing with after I had already received a quote from a big-name company. Right away, I noticed how professional and detailed they were. They carefully assessed the situation, explained everything clearly, and recommended addressing the issue in two stages to make sure it was done right. Thanks to their honesty and thoroughness, I discovered that the big company's quote was not only overpriced but also wouldn't have fully solved the problem. Jacob & his crew saved our family a lot of money and gave me peace of mind knowing the job was done correctly.

Barbara O.372 days agoJacob Hirschorn and Ground Up Builders did a high quality job on a residential apartment unit that needed mold remediation and tile abatement, followed by replacement of very old bathroom materials and fixtures with new of same. The finish product looks very professional. Jacob managed the field crew with Ground Up's long-standing pool of workers, including Manny and Cesar. Jacob did not over-promise anything and stayed on schedule. The office team was very helpful as well, including Mary Jane and Tish. It is best to determine ahead of time if you may need a THP with the City of LA and establish who will purchase materials. Thank you Ground Up Builders. You delivered.Posted on Yelp

Angelo Di Fusco386 days agoPainted and replaced flooring I’ve worked with Ground Up Builders for many years, and Jacob has always been my go-to person. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and takes the time to share creative ideas—he recently spent a long time helping me plan my kitchen remodel. His estimates are fair, right in line with other general contractors, but what sets him apart is his honesty, integrity, and the value he brings to every project. Over the years, Jacob has replaced carpeting with LVT flooring (and even secured me a great discount with the flooring company) and corrected the poor work of a previous contractor on a decorative window. Every experience has been positive, and I truly trust his judgment and workmanship. Ground Up Builders is always the first company I call, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work and a contractor they can rely on.+4Posted on Yelp

I was worried it wouldn’t be possible just due to the huge dirt hill we had taking up half of the space. Adi Aiish at Ground Up Builders and Marcos Rojas took on this challenge and let me tell you, they absolutely did not disappoint. They took my plain backyard and turned it into an oasis, equipped with a heater for the pool AND the spa, as well as a built-in, natural-gas grill and countertop and tied it all together with a stunning planter and moody lighting that really brought the set up to life at night.

Josh C.414 days agoWe recently worked with Adi Aiish with Ground Up Builders on a full guest bathroom renovation, a sunroom refresh/remodel, new flooring, and even a brand-new roof--and I can honestly say this experience exceeded all expectations. From the very start, Adi was engaging, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. He treated our home with the same care and attention as if it were his own. Every detail--from tile selection to finishing touches--was handled with precision and pride. What really sets him apart is his consistent presence and open communication. No question was too small, and he was always available to walk us through updates or decisions. He took the time to make sure we understood the process every step of the way, which made a huge difference. He was also incredibly respectful and kind around our family--our kiddo looked forward to seeing him and his team! The work site was kept clean, safe, and organized, and his team was always professional and friendly. It's rare to find someone who blends high-quality craftsmanship with warmth and reliability, but Adi truly feels like part of the family now.

Hands down, one of the best decisions we've made for our home!+9Posted on Google

Not only did they do a fabulous job, they dealt with the insurance and made sure everything that was replaced was not just fixed, but better than it had been. Amir, our on site project manager was incredibly attentive to any questions or issues that came up and made sure we were satisfied to the fullest with the work. Sean was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the process making sure the insurance company didn’t drag their feet and paid for the repairs, & paid for us to stay at an Airbnb while they completed the work. We ended up having a few upgrades done on the house in addition to the repairs because we were impressed with their work, the prices, and most importantly, they were transparent and incredibly responsive to our needs.+0Posted on Yelp

Sydney Ribot499 days agoThese guys were fantastic. Their bid to rebuild our deck was extremely fair. Adi Aiish, their field manager, was communicative and transparent, and he made our complete rebuild due to faulty construction happen not only on time but ahead of schedule—in spite of the fact that his wife was literally about to go into labor—and his team’s work was flawless. Part of that is because GroundUp Builders employs the same team every time. They do not hire random day laborers to cut costs, but people who have worked together before, and those people have a groove. That was evident in the quality and speed of their work. When there was a small oversight, GroundUp took full responsibility and did not attempt to do the usual runaround contractors do where they posture and pretend that you, the customer, are simply unequipped to assimilate the complexity of a five-layer deck renovation, instead of just saying, “yes, I forgot to ask for the cost of the cricketing for 24 square feet of the space.” Could not be happier with their work and the entire process. I hope to hire them for future renovations.Posted on Google
Chris C.507 days agoWe had a fantastic experience working with Avi and his team at Ground Up Builders and Design for our modest home renovation. Never having done this before and needing to live on the premises at the same time, it gave us lots of apprehension - but Avi always remained professional, communicative and guided us through the whole process, offering help for anything we needed. They worked hard to keep the site as clean as possible for us during the time, and it was clear Avi's goal was the quality of work and our satisfaction. He has an extremely capable team, such as Ovin and Idillio who are experts in their own right, and after seeing their craftsmanship, thoughtfulness of function, and attention to detail, it gave us great confidence in anything they tackled.

Never having done this before and needing to live on the premises at the same time it gave us lots of apprehension - but Avi always remained professional, communicative, and guided us through the whole process, offering to help for anything we needed. they worked hard to keep the site as clean as possible for us during the time, and it was clear Avi's goal was the quality of work and our satisfaction. he has an extremely capable team such as Ovin and Idilio, who are experts in their own right, and after seeing their craftsmanship, thoughtfulness of function and attention to detail, it gave us great confidence in anything they tackled.

Christopher Bjelland616 days agoI've been working with Ground Up Builders for several years now and highly recommend them. They have done great work for us on several window installations, a full deck rebuild, a full garage conversion and more. Jacob is our main point of contact and is wonderful, extremely professional and very communicative. I plan to continue to use and recommend them in the future.Posted on Yelp
John H.711 days agoThis was our first time going through any type of remodel, so we were seeking a contractor and company with a great reputation along with demonstrating patience, competence, and professionalism. My wife found Ground Up Builders on Yelp and we got lucky enough to have Jacob as our Project Manager to come give us a bid and explore ideas. Long story short, Jacob was awesome, and we really felt as if this was his own home and took time and empathy from all angles of the project from concept to completion. We live in West Hollywood, so not an easy city to work with for permits along with an incompetent HOA, which Jacob navigated effectively whereas I feel others would almost give up or deprioritize simply bc of the hurdles in headaches. Not the case with Ground Up... Their overall work and craftsmanship were spot-on across all aspects of the remodel fit our vision and managed to get very close to the estimated time of competition even though the City and HOA were not on our side. Our new Kitchen looks amazing with a spa-like bathroom and impressive new flooring. Excellent work on all fronts. I would recommend Jacob and Ground Up Builders to anyone in the LA area looking for a remodel, large or small. I've heard a lot of scary contractor stories but quite the opposite with our experience and I would love to work together again in the future, hopefully not too too soon though, ha.Posted on Yelpstephanie s.726 days agoWe could not be happier we chose Ground Up Builders to help us with our major remodel this year. Company owner Uzi stepped in as a late recommendation after a previous contractor wasn't cutting it. He gave us an accurate estimate within a short span of meeting us, and within a couple of weeks, our house was gutted and the project was on its way. His team always showed up (often even on Saturdays), was always on time, worked hard, managed additional requests and changes swiftly and with grace. Uzi himself was responsive, fair, kind, even-tempered, and honest throughout. He stopped by often and as necessary. The entire team was creative with problem-solving... and actually, there were no big problems to solve! Entire project was done in less than six months. Big recommend!+0Posted on YelpSarah S.759 days agoAvi and his team were miracle workers! They redid my bathroom and totally transformed it in the best way.

Uzi had been keeping an eye on the meter for me over several years while doing other work at my house. When he suggested it was time I knew I could trust him. His Ground Up crew not only made sure that the newest solar technology replaced my old panels, but installed them in a direction that gave me more coverage on my flat roof. They made sure to check my roof and resurfaced it before the big rains. Despite the big demand they had for customers I never felt that I was not being taken care of and my questions were always answered right away. The crew also cleans up when finished and even took some extra things I had wanted taken away with their trash. I highly recommend them.Posted on Angie's ListJoshua K.957 days agoStupendous work. Uzi and the rest of his team at Ground Up are professional, punctual, and completed the work ahead of schedule! Ruben, Byron, and Axel did a great job assessing the task: relocation of the washer+dryer inside our home. Running new electric and water lines, as well as making space for the unit by removing incorrectly installed shelving. They kept the house and their work area immaculate, updated us as needed, and were a pleasure to have in our home. Will definitely be hiring Ground Up for years to come! ❤️Posted on Angie's ListMaryAnne H.957 days agoMy kitchen is beautiful. I had an abstract idea of what I wanted done, but Uzi and his team made my idea much better than my own. I had a small kitchen and a very small dining room combined to make a large kitchen with room for everything. Uzi’s team members are all so good. They are friendly and extremely well qualified. Mary Martin is so helpful keeping us apprised of what is happening at every step. I cannot recommend this team highly enough.

Layal B.960 days agoI cannot say enough good things about Ground Up, the dream contracting company. We always heard so many horror stories from friends and family about contractors walking off the job, and renovations taking twice as long or costing twice as much, so we were nervous to get started on our house renovation. Then we met Uzi, who was the most professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and practical contractor we had ever met. He always responded immediately, even on the weekends, and even to my silly questions. His team was always on time, did flawless work, and was incredibly helpful (especially Nathan). The renovation took exactly how long and cost exactly how much Uzi told us it was going to take/cost. We had ZERO issues. I never had to follow up on anything- Uzi was the one following up with us. A couple friends have since used Uzi and his team and have said the exact same thing. We are SO grateful and happy with how everything turned out, and would recommend Ground Up to anyone 10000x over.Posted on HouzzHU-6403802671164 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Houzz.

They did an excellent job.Posted on HouzzHU-8328891821645 days agoI am a Realtor with ACME Real Estate in Los Angeles and worked with Adi Aiish and Ground Up Builders on an extensive project for a Seller client. In a nutshell, working with them was incredible. Adi managed his team impeccably, and they came in on budget, on time. Not only that, it was an absolute pleasure working with Adi! He went above and beyond when it came to answering questions for the client and for me. He was able to pivot when we had design changes and incorporated those updates without nickel and diming the Seller. He was also able to help us resolve a complicated permit violation on the home, and worked with the City to correct the defaults and clear the violation. The experience was such a wonderful one that the Seller considers Adi and me to be personal friends... and the work they did helped me to sell the house for over $150,000 over our record asking price. Thank you so much, Adi, for your help and great work! Looking forward to working with you on the next project!Posted on HouzzHome Tree LLC1668 days agoAdi and the guys from Ground Up Builders did an amazing job fixing my garage!

But I did not like the bathroom and so I wanted to remodel it. When I was looking for one of the best bathroom remodeling companies in Los Angeles, thankfully, I came to know about Ground up builders. Believe it or not, my bathroom was a blank canvas to them, no matter how old or outdated it may have been. Where I saw chipped porcelain, they saw potential. Where I saw ugly tiling, They saw an opportunity to make it beautoful. It was an awesome experience to work with them. I am totally satisfied.Posted on HouzzHU-2318664641847 days agoWe love a job well done and we love the peace of mind that working with Uzi and his GroundUp Builders gives us when it comes to putting our money towards any construction needs we might have in our house. We have been hiring Uzi's services for more than a decade now and we keep going back every time we have a remodel, addition or any kind of work we need to better our home. Safest investment we ever made. Uzi (GroundUp Builders) focusses on the project in an absolutely knowledgeable, professional and friendly way that alleviates all stress from the owner, closely and constantly keeping an eye on the process and immediately responding to any questions or concerns the client might have. I've never worked with anyone before in this field that was just seconds away from answering our phone calls any time we had a question, and always at the end of the conversation having the absolute certainty that everything was in the -very- best hands. As a result we never had a problem during construction and / or when the job was done, everything to perfection and knowing that even months or years after they were done, if we ever needed to talk to him at all he would respond after just a couple of ringtones and greeting us by name. I can only say I am really impressed with the way Uzi and his GroundUp Builders work and conduct themselves professionally and personally, and no doubt will always go back to him knowing that, once again, we will be in the best possible hands.Posted on HouzzEric1850 days agoUzi and his team are amazing. I looked for 6 3 months for a reliable contractor for my room addition. After speaking with Uzi and viewing some of his projects I felt like I finally met someone that wouldn't take advantage of me. I couldn't be happier with my new master bedroom. His crews finished on time and most importantly I didn't pay any hidden cost. He was upfront from the beginning about the price and it stayed within what I was quoted. I would happily recommend Ground Up BuildersPosted on HouzzHU-8797920901955 days agoI love everything about Ground Up Builders. Their work is always wonderful and gets done incredibly fast. If I have a question about anything I always get the answer right away and, most importantly, I will keep hiring them again and again for each of my needs. I’ve never been disappointed and have recommended them to everyone I know. They’ve helped with my foundation, my new air conditioning, rebuilt both the front and back porches, replaced the gutters, fixed the electricity, and plumbing, repaired rain damage, installed a more efficient water heater and the list goes on and on. I can’t wait to hire them to install a second bathroom and beyond. Jenni McCormick Los Angeles, CAPosted on Houzz
Doodle A Day2253 days agoGround Up Builders is a great company to have any and all of your remodeling needs done. These guys are amazing. They work fast, efficient and extremely professional. They are always on time, and stay late if they need to with qualified and professional workers. Everything is of the highest quality; which I will say you will pay for but is absolutely worth every dollar you spend. They go above and beyond what is required to get your job done right and the way you want it. They take the time to look all over the valley and outside of the valley to get the right materials you want for your job. I highly recommend Ground Up Builders for your remodeling needs. When you want your job done right, fast and professional you call Ground Up Builders.Posted on Angie's ListNisim H.3057 days agohands down one of the best companys i have worked with, very efficient,clean and the price was spot on since i've got 3 other quotes. thank u ground up!Posted on Angie's ListMeehar T.3085 days agoThe roofing workers came and checked out as much of the finished roof as possible. They took a video and photographs to better examine the roof. A few days later Uzi emailed me a report and photographs of which we used to have our contractor return to fix the problems Uzi's company found. I wish I would have hired Uzi's company to do our roof. He would have done a better job, at a fairer price. He always returns phone calls and is always willing to explain procedures and answer questions.Posted on Angie's ListAshik P.3149 days agoI’ll let the pictures speak for themselves on how impressed I have been with the results of my back yard. It was a pleasure to work with field manager Adi Aiish, who when we started this project held true to his promise to come back and fix any issues that may come up. I highly recommend GUB for two reasons: 1 All construction projects will encounter some unexpected hurdles and issues. I’ve learned this through my experience with GUB and also other companies. But what I am most concerned about is the willingness to resolve the issues. Adi promised me that on day 1 and even after 3 months following the completion of the project, they stood to that 100%. Not only did they own up, but they didn’t make me jump trough loops and hoops to resolve the issues. 2 Communication with Adi was amazing! If you’re like me that you want to stay involved with the project but not want to project manage, then you’ll appreciate Adi’s ability to keep you up to speed every day. At times I would get heated, but Adi was my Zen master through all this. After all is said and done, and having the experiences with GUB (both good and not so good) I would hire Adi and his crew 100% again. I have the backyard I’ve always wanted and thanks to this team, it’s now a reality.Posted on Angie's ListYelena W.3248 days agoWonderful, very professional, punctual, upfront and trust worthy.Posted on Angie's ListDan P.3401 days agoWonderful.

Gregg Ledergerber, the sales rep., was easy to work with, explained the advantages and disadvantages of the different solar panel systems several times to me with very little sales pressure. He was there for the entire process, and he continues to stay in contact with us to make sure all is working properly. Additionally his work crew were prompt and very helpful. Completed the job in a few days. They installed on the metal roof of my workshop building which other companies stated that it could not be done. My bill went from an average of $400 to $22 a month which is the meter fee from PG&E. I have had absolutely no electric usage charge. I would recommend this company for all your solar needs.

After meeting various companies on which I couldn't decide, when I met Tal Winograd from Ground up builders I felt much more conformable moving forward and letting them do the job.

Tal was very knowledgable, had great ideas and suggestions that other companies had previously missed. The price was very fair for the amount of work needed.

Their office was available and on call 24/7 if I had any questions. Tal supervised the job himself.

They came up with the most complete estimate The best reviews and referrals in my neighborhood. We did have some difficulty since my mom's age to get the funds to do the job and the team took care of us and provided all the necessary plans to go forward with this project. This project ended up to be roofing re-wiring for the whole house with the new upgraded electrical panel we did go through with remodeling the whole house brand-new kitchen that we love to use when the whole family get together for holidays. And the new bathroom to accommodate my mom's age that we really appreciate having! The house is much safer right now. And the job was done beautifully. They just finished installing the new windows and love them! My next project would be to do the landscaping I saw already few of their jobs and this is what we would love to get for mom! And we do love the fact that everything be done is energy efficient and would save us a lot of money in the future with cooling and heating the place. They did start of the job on time and finished it as we expected even faster than what they quoted us. Thank you GroundUp-Builders.Posted on Angie's ListAshik P.3445 days agoSo this a review that has been along time coming. But I need to clarify where we are in the process with GUB. We haven't started the project yet, but this is our experience with the vetting process and why we chose Adi and GUB. They are helping us with our back yard hardscape and landscape project. Pavers, artificial turf and DG. Like most of you looking for help with a project like this, you're gonna do your homework and really learn what you're getting yourself into. We met Adi with GUB after meeting three other providers and still met with three more following his initial visit. Adi has really taken great care of us so far. That initial appointment was supposed to be 2 hours, but because of our questions and his insights , we spend the day making the vision we wanted. Mind you, we didn't sign with him that day. We still wanted to feel the market and get more quotes. And Adi and GUB were not the cheapest. We still spent about $5k more than the next group, but we really see the value in going with them. I visited a job site that Adi had managed and saw great work and great experiences from those home owners. So my next review will be base on the work that Adi and his crew at GUB will do, but thus far, we have had an amazing experience with Adi and GUB. He really has earned our business. I really think his efforts thus far will be indicative of the finished project. He's worth the call. He'll treat you like family and help you turn your vision into reality. Stay tuned for photos and another review of the finished project!Posted on HouzzSheldon Teitelbaum3536 days agoMy wife and I have strived all our property-owning lives to avoid major subcontractors, for all the reasons you would imagine. They are too big, too expensive, not concerned with individual clients' welfare so much as getting them done with -- you know the routine. Not so GroundUp. After a great deal of research, I took a flyer on their owner, Uzi, and his well-intended and comported staff. We installed a full solar array -- no mean feat. They finished the work in a bit over a day. The result wasn't just efficient -- it was art, especially when they found themselves having to redo a crumbling roof in the process. Their work was impeccable, reasonably priced, and together, we put the boot to the power company, which just goes on its merry way upping rates at 5 percent a year. Wish I could do that well at a Savings & Loan. It's been three months and I owe the power company squat. If you have any doubts, ask Uzi for my number -- I am happy to give personal tours.
