LA Green Development reviews

BiggestWhatguy O. ended up spending roughly $36–37k on a residential solar system that never delivered the expected savings because the installer left the system vulnerable and then walked away. After he moved to another city, the inverter box — the piece that ties the panels to the house grid — was stolen. The company had placed that box in an easily accessible spot, refused to replace it, and never insured or otherwise protected the equipment. As a result, the tenant has been drawing power from the grid for four years and the electricity bills have climbed to about $12,000 while the panels sit unused. The project started with a door‑to‑door sales pitch promising that government incentives would cover much of the cost; he later learned the federal energy tax credit would be only about $9,500 and not a full payment. The firm also offered a “free” front‑yard redesign as part of the deal, which turned into an extra $10,000 charge for artificial grass, rocks, and pavement. That landscaping was poorly executed: weeds grew through the turf, rock flaked and scattered, and maintenance became more expensive because crews had to work around the new materials — exactly the outcome he had, a

BiggestWhatguy answered a knock at the door and agreed to a solar install after being told the government would essentially cover the cost. He paid roughly $36–37k up front, expecting about $9,500 in tax credit but not a full buyout, and soon discovered the project came with a raft of hidden costs and failures. The company promised a “free” front-yard redesign but ended up charging about $10k to lay artificial grass, rocks, and new pavement — landscaping that quickly failed as weeds pushed up through the turf and rock because crews didn’t properly treat or block growth. He had asked specifically that the yard not require extra monthly maintenance, yet maintenance needs increased because the loose rock flakes made cleanup harder and hired contractors now cost more. The solar array also failed to deliver the savings promised: panels performed poorly because a city-owned tree shaded the roof, a problem the installer didn’t flag before signing the contract and only mentioned after the work was done. After he relocated, the inverter box was stolen within days because the company had mounted it in an easily accessible spot; they declined to replace or secure it despite repeated contact,,

Paulina V. went into the project excited: she hired the company to replace her roof and windows and to add solar panels, hoping to cut energy bills and do something good for the environment. She quickly discovered the job would cost far more than expected after an obscure policy surfaced — if a roof was over 20% damaged, the homeowner had to pay to repair it before installing a new roof. Her roof measured over that threshold, so rather than pay for repairs she and the company settled on a cheaper set of solar panels to cover the extra cost. When it came time to install the panels, the crew accidentally put on the higher-end panels they had originally wanted, but those units were installed poorly. She sent multiple photos and chased the company for fixes; only after repeated contact did the crew return, remove the improperly mounted units, and install the lower-cost panels they had agreed to. Six months after activation, the system delivered far less savings than promised — nowhere near the 90% reduction the company had outlined, and not even 50% savings on her energy bills. She began calling in February and kept calling through March; the first substantive response arrived on M
