Contractors License C46, C10 #1003783. Earth Electric is a local solar installation company helping you to plug into the sun. We have extensive experience in photovoltaic systems and maintain a small company atmosphere that is focused on personal customer service and solar education. We make the process of going solar simple and efficient.

"Earth Electric is different from the big solar providers. - They're good at what they do. It's not a sales company with some outsourced subcontractor labor. The staff you talk to are the ones doing the the actual work, not someone in a boiler room selling systems they will never see. - Friendly, prompt, fair prices and extremely knowledgable. - Locally owned, woman owned, with real employees not subs. They will be there for you after the install is done. - Head installer Zack came and looked at my complex situation in person, without needing any arm twisting to do it, and gave me a sketch immediately of what would work, where, how many panels, etc. No other company would even show up without a commitment. - Sheryl is a powerhouse of information and in-depth knowledge. She gave me information about manufacturers that was very crucial to me, for long term service and reliability, which is just as important to me as the initial price. - Earth Electric stuck with me through a difficult and changing scenario as my ADU construction went a bit sideways...city planners made things complicated...it all worked out in the end, and I still got a good deal on my beautiful LG panels. - Very importantly, for me, Earth Electric worked hand in hand with the contractor who (unexpectedly) had to give me a new roof at the last minute. (Kent Roofing, also highly recommended!) **If you need a new roof AND solar at the same time, this is the dream team combination that will make your life bearable, as you navigate that scenario.** In summary, my situation was complicated and kept changing (plus, hello, Covid making everything harder), and the array was not all that big. Earth Electric was exactly what I needed them to be: hyper-competent, confidence inspiring, and excellent in service. EXCELLENT in service. And, still a super competitive price! I give Sheryl, Zack, Zack and the rest of the crew my highest recommendation. I will never regret going with them."

Founded in 1989 by Dean Henninger, D.W. Henninger Construction has been recognized as a leading builder of custom homes and remodeling projects. Acting as a General Contractor, the entire Henninger team is known to exceed client expectations, leading to a steady stream of testimonials and referral clients. Over the past two decades, Henninger has managed projects in California: kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, entire home renovation, even complete construction of homes. Regardless of scope, Henninger approaches each project with the same foundation of principals: strong design aesthetics, comprehensive product options, sound project management, and a commitment to craftsmanship. Design Aesthetics: With 20+ years of Bay Area experience, Henninger understands the many architectural quirks unique to Bay Area communities, making it easy to elaborate and integrate with established design aesthetics.

Henninger is unique in using progress billing — a system that only charges for services following completion rather than pre-paying weeks or months before it starts. Craftsmanship: Henninger’s team of carpenters bring the best combination of experience and expertise to the table, but they offer much more than technical proficiency — by working with true craftsmen, Henninger projects balance design and functionality for maximum results on each and every project, regardless of scope. Our service areas: Oakland, Pleasanton, Livermore, Walnut Creek, Fremont, and surrounding cities. Projects in San Francisco and San Jose are also feasible — contact us for more information.

FAQs for home inspection projects in Watsonville, CA

Professional inspectors enter attics through access hatches or pull-down stairs while wearing appropriate protective equipment. They utilize various tools, including high-powered flashlights, moisture detection devices, and occasionally thermal imaging cameras, to evaluate structural components, insulation quality, ventilation systems, and signs of water intrusion or pest activity. The inspection process involves examining roof framing, checking insulation distribution, assessing airflow patterns, and looking for evidence of current or past problems. Findings are documented with photographs and detailed notes that become part of the final inspection report.

While inspectors often attempt to physically enter attics during evaluations, certain circumstances may prevent them from gaining complete access. When entry points are obstructed, sealed, or undersized for safe passage, inspectors might conduct limited visual assessments from the access opening instead. Safety concerns, such as unstable flooring, suspected hazardous materials, or extreme temperatures, may also restrict full attic entry. When purchasing property, specifically ask whether the inspector will physically enter the attic or use alternative methods if direct access isn't feasible.

Attic inspections often reveal issues that might otherwise remain undetected until they cause significant damage. Common findings include insufficient insulation, which contributes to energy inefficiency, inadequate ventilation that leads to moisture accumulation, roof leaks evidenced by water staining, structural weakening caused by moisture or pest damage, electrical system deficiencies, and air duct problems that affect heating and cooling performance. Inspectors may also identify improperly vented bathroom or kitchen exhaust systems that discharge moisture directly into attic spaces rather than outside the home.

Standard attic inspections do not include radon testing. Radon, a naturally occurring radioactive gas, enters homes through foundation elements and tends to concentrate in lower living areas rather than attics. The EPA recommends testing all homes for radon regardless of location or construction age due to its status as the second leading cause of lung cancer. If concerned about radon exposure, consider scheduling this specialized test as a separate service or as part of a comprehensive home environmental assessment.
