PerryBuilt Construction reviews

pastorklemsz wanted solar for a 56-year-old home with a small roof. Roger and Bevan handled the project from start to finish, treating the house as if it were their own. They answered every question without pressure and let them customize the system so it fit the roof. The crew squeezed maximum capacity onto the tight roof, routed all wiring out of sight along the back, and tied the array into the existing electrical panel on the older home. Inspectors signed off and the system is now interconnected to PG&E. The installers used black rails with Silfab Elite panels and Enphase microinverters, delivering a clean, low-profile look that is already trimming the electric bill. What stuck with them most was the hidden wiring and how smoothly the old panel accepted the hookup.

tclem3 hired PerryBuilt to tackle a solar install on a house with a complicated roof. PerryBuilt worked closely with them to map optimal panel locations and increase the panel count where possible. The result was an optimized layout that made the most of the available roof space.

autoxmustang hired the company for a solar installation and found the early sales contact, Roger, responsive — but the person managing the job after the contract, Bevan, became the main source of frustration. They sent multiple reminder emails over months because Bevan routinely ignored initial messages, answered with one-line replies, and offered vague or no timelines for follow-up work. The crew’s technical work and the install itself were fine, but the project stalled at the finish line: Bevan never scheduled the city’s final permit inspection. After six months of back-and-forth and no commitment on a date, they stepped in, booked and attended the inspector visit themselves, and even submitted missing documents to PG&E to complete their NEM application. What lingered most was not the quality of the panels but having to finish the permit and utility paperwork that should have been handled by the company.

applehomesdevelopment has relied on Perrybuilt for solar work since 2009, starting with a large development of 16 homes. They kept hiring Perrybuilt steadily after that first project because the company delivered consistently high-quality installations, priced competitively, and paid close attention to detail. Beyond the technical work, the team remained personable and easy to deal with, which turned a one-off job into a long-term partnership. The clearest takeaway: a contractor who handled a complex 16-home development in 2009 kept earning repeat business through dependable workmanship, fair pricing, and a straightforward, personable approach.

Craig discovered an unusually smooth, hands-on process when Devan and Roger visited his house to size a residential system. Roger spotted a rooftop opportunity the corporate team’s satellite photos missed: by rotating the panels 90 degrees he could fit more modules on the south roof and meet several specific requests other contractors had balked at. Devan followed through on the field plan, installing and connecting the array in just a few days and pulling the county permit. He left impressed by the team’s real‑world problem solving and the fast, clean installation that delivered the layout he wanted.

Doc chose a small, local crew to outfit his house with a two‑sided rooftop array — 14 Panasonic 330W panels paired with SolarEdge optimizers — plus a NEMA 14‑50 outlet for EV charging. He liked that the contractor, Bevan, showed up in person to measure and install, so he dealt directly with the people doing the work rather than a distant salesperson. That hands‑on approach became the defining feature of the project: Bevan took responsibility, adjusted plans in the field, and made sure the installation matched what Doc wanted. The job almost went a different way at the start. The initial layout had panels placed on the easier roof side (the same shortcut Doc had seen from Tesla’s satellite‑based designs), but after Doc pulled a SunPower layout that prioritized the south‑facing roof, Bevan came out, remeasured, and confirmed he could get close to that preferred placement. Doc considered SunPower for efficiency but found Perrybuilt’s gear — SolarEdge optimizers with Panasonic modules — far more competitive on price and transparent than Tesla’s opaque offerings. A few aesthetic and logistical details mattered to Doc: Perrybuilt used black racking instead of bare metal, which looked

Bas needed a solar install wrapped up before the 2018 tax-credit deadline, and Perry Built delivered—finishing ahead of schedule so he captured the incentive. He counted on them for more than panels: they handled the permit, coordinated changes with PGE, and managed inspections, turning a potentially stressful process into a true turnkey job. The price landed on the competitive side, but what lingered was the quality of the work, the tidy cleanup after the crew left, and how easy and trustworthy Devan and Roger proved to be to communicate with. He ended up with a clean installation completed on time and the reassuring feeling that the team had taken care of every detail needed to secure the tax benefit.

krucker46 chose PerryBuilt Construction to install a residential solar system and ended up with a smoothly executed, professional installation. They found the crew courteous and flexible, willing to accommodate specific needs, and focused on finish-quality throughout the job. As a smaller family-run outfit, PerryBuilt stood out for paying close attention to detail while delivering clear value—what krucker46 describes as the most bang for the buck—leaving the lasting impression of solid workmanship at a fair price.

ggt00 chose PerryBuilt through EnergySage for a small, 10-panel Panasonic system on a home in Campbell, California, drawn by the company’s good rating and a competitive bid. They hit a snag when the first design failed the Santa Clara County Fire Department’s fire plan review, but PerryBuilt resubmitted quickly and cleared the review on the second attempt. The crew installed the panels and control equipment in under two days, yet the project stalled afterward: it took more than a month before the city of Campbell was asked to perform the inspection and sign off. During that wait they experienced several communication lapses with PerryBuilt, and now the system still waits for PG&E to interconnect. The clearest takeaway is that the on‑roof work was fast and the company moved quickly to fix permit paperwork, but buyers should be prepared for potential delays in inspections and inconsistent updates until utility interconnection is complete.
