PetersenDean Roofing and Solar – San Diego

I just did re-​roof and solar project with PD. I was impressed by the all of the people involved in this project from sales, installers, coordinators, and support. The projects took a little longer than expected, but the quality of the work and the professionalism of the people was second to none.

I received 4 quotes for solar for my house, all from larger reputable companies. PetersenDean was the least expensive and offered US made panels and converters. Everything went smoothly. They were professional and did everything they said they would do. The installation team was really friendly and did a great job. They even replaced some broken tiles that they didn’t break. Still waiting for final inspection from SDG&E but I am very happy with the results and the company. I highly recommend them

OK here it goes… my pros and cons
Pros:
1. I mentiond the discount for the estemate and recieved it no hassel great
2. I got an appoinment within 2 days and he was on time
3. Out rep Armondo was very knowedgeable respectful and knew waht he was talking about
4. We had interviewed 3 other co. and had alot of questions and Armondo ansewed them all perfectly even when it was not what we wnted to hear.
5. The info and materials that was left with us were actualy useful
6. They have a Military discount and that was so nice to see and recieve
7.the system is working just fine and we are very pleased with is so far it ony been a few monthes …
Cons:
1, The cons are this… I did have a problem with a few things in dealing with the project coordinator as far as timming. this has been resolved very nicely…
You know i learned something today, I had placed my Unilocal as I always do and I was dissatisfied with a certain aspect and instead of contacting a supervisor or manegement I just placed it on Unilocal… Not fair to the company as a whole because I did not address the problem and it this allowed continued ongoing fustration.
The project is done and I wanted something else done and was asked how I liked the service and from there I then voiced my concern.

A co-​worker used this company so i thought i would too. They charged $ 49.99 just to come out and give you an estimate which will definitely be one of the highest quotes you will receive. I asked for my refund three times and have not received it yet!

My family and I had 17 Solar panels installed for our 1700 square foot home by the professionals at Peterson Dean. They showed up to our home at 7:30 am ready to work. The professionalism and working knowledge were exemplary, Izzy and his crew did an outstanding job. Izzy and his young apprentice Samuel even took great pictures of the panels after installation (very cool!) Peterson Dean as well Gage from JP the guys who do the electrical and the Converter were all the best crew a homeowner could ask for. Go with this group and you will not be disappointed. We just received the order to operate, so I will write another review in a few weeks after we get our electric bill.

We met with them all… one size does not fit all. Determine your usage, find the company that will give you quality service, equipment, and warranties. Research financing options and incentives offered, if any. All of this will help you decide what is best for YOU.
PD was professional, quality products, quick and clean installation, great communication throughout the entire process and completed in a timely manner.

If you go with any other company you are nuts. This company (PetersenDean) treats you with respect and doesn’t lie to you. I started with SC and after they inspected the house they said it would cost an additional $ 3,100 because of the roof tiles that would be broken when they installed the system. They wanted to put composite shingles under the solar panels and put my tile shingles around the panels so you wouldn’t see what was under the panels. If I would have wanted to move I would have had to replace the tiles in order to meet my HOA requirements if I wanted to take the solar panels with me.
PetersenDean personal from the sales rep Armando Champagne to Jose Haney to the project manager Jenny have been nothing but fantastic. They have answered all our questions and have been very respectful to both my wife and me. Every one of their personal have been wonderful and respectful of both of us.
If you want to support American workers then you you need to go with them as they use only American made panels, you will never regret it, i can’t even express in words how great this company and it’s people will treat you.
They make you feel like family and treat you that way.
I have never written a review for any other company in my 71 years, but this company deserves my unconditional support.
If you don’t use them then good luck to you, I know that I don’t have to worry, but will you feel that way if you go with someone else?

Good experience with the company. PetersenDean installed an 18-​panel 4.95 kWh microinverter system on my cement tile roof about 3 months ago. I was one of the first systems that their San Diego crew installed. I purchased the system with some nice financing that they set me up with.
I chose them over 2 other companies because they use quality components, they had a competitive price (not the best, but within a grand), they offered the best financing, and the company has been around for about 30 years (which means they should be around in the future if I ever need warranty work). The financing they offered (third party lender, but they heavily subsidized the rate) was amazing for a solar loan. 2.99% 12-​year loan plus 12-​month same as cash for the portion I will get back next year in federal tax credits. I couldn’t find any other company that could offer below 7%. Not sure if they’re still offering these terms, but you won’t do better if you want to do the loan route.
Communication was good overall. Project manager and salesman (Aveline and Jeff) both promptly answered any questions I had.
The few problems I encountered during installation (example: inspector suckered them into making a hole in garage drywall for who knows what reason) were remedied quickly. It would have been nice if their engineering department had been able to get their plans to me earlier (took them 4 weeks). That way, I could have submitted the plans to my HOA for approval so that we could have finished the project by the end of 2014 to get the tax credit a year earlier.
