The Verdict

Treeium Energy isn't a solar company. We analyzed hundreds of reviews and discovered they're primarily a general contractor doing home remodels, bathroom conversions, and room additions, with solar as a sideline. One homeowner thought they were hiring a solar installer and got a bathroom quote instead. The disconnect runs deeper than marketing. While 142 reviews praised sales reps for being friendly and responsive, 38 flagged poor value and 32 called out workmanship problems. The company leans heavily on two quality-assurance staffers, Gina and Greg, who show up in dozens of reviews fixing post-project issues like misaligned mirrors, foggy windows, and leaky roofs. That's a red flag. A well-run solar installer shouldn't need a dedicated repair team chasing down shoddy work months after closeout. If you want solar panels, hire a company that installs solar panels every day, not one that treats it as an upsell to kitchen remodels.

If you're looking for a solar installer, skip Treeium. They're a remodeling contractor dabbling in solar, and their track record shows it. Find a dedicated solar company with consistent installation quality instead.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Ben Sanada
Google | Jun 19, 2020 |

Ben Sanada bought a 2,700 sq ft ranch-style house in Laguna Niguel and decided to gut and renovate almost the entire place a few years ago. After talking with three companies, he chose Treeium Inc because the firm looked well established and Shay Cohen listened patiently to his plans to make the home more modern and spacious — including tearing down some walls. Three years on he discovered a few minor issues, but they caused little headache because Gina Cada in Treeium’s Quality Assurance department stepped in to help. One of the 48 replacement windows has started to go foggy; COVID-19 has slowed the replacement timeline, but Gina has kept him informed of the service process at every step. He was pleased when the renovation finished and remains satisfied with the follow-up care; what stuck with him most was the steady aftercare — a single faulty window among dozens being actively managed and communicated about during a difficult time.

Shawn hired Treeium to replace his entire roof, and two years later a leak appeared. Even though his labor warranty had expired, Treeium’s Quality Assistance team came back, patched the roof at no charge, and stayed engaged until the problem was fixed. Gina handled communications with kindness and kept him updated through every step, while Greg coordinated the repairs and made sure the crews followed through. What stuck with him most was that the company returned after two years and corrected an out-of-warranty leak for free, maintaining steady contact until the roof stopped leaking.

3. Aaron M.
Yelp | Jul 20, 2021 |

Aaron M. manages a duplex and commissioned what turned into two separate solar installs: one system for his unit and a second for the upstairs neighbors. Because the available rooftop space was fully used for his system, the neighbors’ array had to go on the detached garage roof, which required trenching a long run of conduit between buildings and pulling multiple permits — for the trench, for two distinct systems, and for the roof work. Installing panels also prompted a full roof replacement with 3-inch rigid insulation boards to reduce summer heat, adding another layer of permitting and coordination. Treeium arrived with a fair price when Aaron was only initially quoting one system; when the project grew to include the second system, trenching, and the complete roof upgrade, they adjusted the scope and carried the project through. Ashley Arndt, the production manager, handled day-to-day communications — answering emails, messages and calls promptly — and kept the job moving on schedule. In the end he walked away with two working systems and an upgraded, better-insulated roof, and a clear impression that Treeium can handle a more complicated duplex install without letting the ball

What You Can Expect

01

1. Eva Aguilar
Google | Oct 20, 2020 |

Eva's father needed hip surgery after a fall climbing over the tub to get into the shower. With medical bills piling up, her budget for a bathroom remodel was very tight. She met with five contractors who all pushed for a costly full remodel she couldn't afford. Then Shahar Algazy came out, listened closely, and took the job personally. He proposed converting only the tub into a walk-in shower and leaving the rest of the bathroom as-is — a practical plan that came in under $10,000. Shahar even phoned his manager and asked for a personal favor to get the scope and price approved, and Treeium stepped in to make it happen. A year later her father is recovering well and loving the new shower. The detail that stuck with her was how one straightforward, affordable change — and one employee's willingness to push for it — removed a major safety hazard without draining the family's finances.

3. Tommy Goulla
Google | Dec 13, 2018 |

Tommy had Sunpower panels installed by Treeium more than a year ago and still loves the result. He credits project manager Allen Ladd and the Treeium team for a simple installation and consistently strong communication that kept the project running smoothly. The panels cut his electric bill enough that he could free up savings to book a two‑week family cruise starting at the end of the month, a concrete payoff that made the switch feel obvious. He remains surprised more homeowners haven’t adopted solar, pointing to the straightforward process and clear savings as the memorable parts of his experience.

1. Vladimir Manasson
Google | Feb 12, 2020 |

Three years after Treeium finished renovating his house, Vladimir discovered a crack where an older wall met the new work and noticed the glass shower door had shifted enough to affect how it operated. He contacted Gina Cada at Treeium; she acknowledged the warranty had expired but insisted they would try to make things right and asked Gregory Knemeyer from Quality Assurance to inspect. Gregory arrived, carried out a careful, start-to-finish inspection, and uncovered a few additional minor defects that had appeared since the renovation. He arranged for the subcontractor who had installed the shower door to come back and straighten it, then spent more than half a day personally repairing the remaining issues—working methodically and precisely. Treeium did the repairs without charging Vladimir despite the lapsed warranty. What sticks is that the company’s QA rep didn’t just coordinate fixes from afar: Gregory came, diagnosed extra problems, and rolled up his sleeves to fix them on the spot, all at no cost.

2. Chris Stagner
Google | Apr 30, 2019 |

About two years ago Chris hired Treeium to redo a room and the kitchen in his home. He discovered the project was far more affordable than he'd expected, and the crew's knowledge and customer service stood out across every stage. It was his third renovation, yet the first one that didn't leave him feeling drained afterward. When he spotted what looked like cracking in the kitchen just last month, Gina Cada stepped in, laid out exactly how the inspection and repair would proceed, gave a realistic timeline, and guided him through each step until the work was finished. Eli joined that follow-up as well, and the steady communication turned what is usually a stressful post-job issue into a simple, resolved task. The detail that lingers for him is Gina's thorough, walk‑through approach — clear expectations and follow-through that made the difference.

3. Joseph B.
Yelp | Mar 15, 2025 |

In 2020 Joseph B. handed Treeium a $1,000 deposit for a set of solar batteries. He never received the batteries and the deposit was never returned; he later heard the company had gone bankrupt, leaving him out the money and without the equipment he ordered. The lingering detail that will stick with buyers is how a relatively small upfront payment vanished when the company collapsed, with no clear path to recovery.

1. Travis Andrade
Google | May 23, 2019 |

A year after completing a bathroom remodel with Treeium, Travis discovered that the company's follow-through was the standout feature. He worked mainly with Gina and Greg, who kept showing up promptly whenever small issues cropped up — most notably a few spots where the bathtub caulk cracked and turned yellow. Each time they returned they fixed the problem quickly, and eventually extended his warranty to cover that specific issue should it recur. The months since completion felt pleasant and satisfying, he would 100% recommend Treeium to friends and family, and he walked away most impressed by the warranty extension as a concrete sign the company backs its work.

2. Elvira Fadul
Google | Apr 26, 2019 |

Elvira Fadul relied on Gina Cada, Treeium’s customer-service representative, when Treeium installed a patio cover at her home in 2017; Gina handled crew scheduling, timelines, and other practical details that kept the project moving. When a minor repair cropped up recently, she called Gina again; Gina arranged the repair immediately, and the work was completed the next day. The memorable detail is the continuity and speed — the same responsive contact who guided the original installation managed a quick, same-week repair years later.

3. B K
Google | Aug 6, 2024 |

B K hired Treeium in 2022 to remodel a bathroom in their home. Less than a year after the work finished they discovered a leak and began emailing and calling for help, only to find the company impossible to reach. Phone numbers didn’t work, the website wouldn’t load, and every attempt to make contact came up empty. Left with a new leak and no support, they ended up regretting the choice—the most memorable detail is how completely unreachable the contractor became.
