July 7-9
Contract was signed on June 25, 2015. Work started July 7 and continued for three days total. Old HVAC equipment was removed, ducts removed, some insulation removed, new HVAC equipment installed, new thermostat installed. Insulation removal said to be complete.
Problems:
?Subcontractors both stated that insulation was completely removed when it was not (twice).
?HVAC sub and contractor implied homeowner was incapable of operating new wifi thermostat. Three wifi thermostats malfunctioned, leading homeowner to contact manufacturer's rep to resolve the problem.

?Apprentice attempted to obtain side work replacing air registers.
?HVAC sub tried to get homeowner to buy control parts for whole house fan installation.
?HVAC sub dragged feet and stalled on doing contractual work on water heater. Homeowner had verbal agreement with contractor's sales rep to install in two steps; contractor denied agreement. Homeowner removed it from contract by mutual agreement.
?New intake return cutout cut beyond boundary into ceiling.

Problems:
Total $150 short of JRT. Inquiries with SMUD revealed that contractor revised JRT after last version was sent to homeowner. The latest JRT did not include the whole house fan in the project. Homeowner not informed. SMUD made arrangements to rebate the whole house fan.
Takeaways:
Sales rep made a good professional, technical, and personal impression without hard sell or scare tactics. One issue with verbal agreement. Scheduler at the contractor very responsive, efficient, and flexible. HVAC sub skilled, but sometimes unreliable and choice of apprentices unwise--made a bad impression of the company. Window snafu annoying. 
Too much homeowner time spent on this contract: over ten days of visits, two no-shows, two code inspections, one test out. Too many emails to count. Final rebate prep never shared with homeowner. Test out failed air leakage test.

"Andrew takes great pride in his work. He was patient and made sure we had the best pieces of lumber, matched the design of the rest of the remaining fence, saw and replaced the small gate we have to get in to our neighbor's yard, and made sure everything was cleaned up and in perfect condition before leaving every day.

.The job took three and a half days because we decided to replace the flooring in the guest bath as well. Terrence was always on time, answered our questions, worked quickly, did a great job and charged a reasonable fee. We plan to call Terrence anytime we have a home repair job in the future.

"My husband has repeatedly tried to fix our sliding door, with a mixed level of success. Mr. Olson came out right away and had it fixed very quickly and cleanly. Would definitely use him again!

"

"it went very well. They've been doing it for 6 years."

"They are honest about things that needed to be done, that he could or could not do. He has a lot going on and so he has to work on bigger project first but that is common. Sometimes if he do not have a big job you cannot really expect to get quick service, that kind of goes for a lot of people. I would use his services again in the future, as eventually it’s the right thing."

"Overall I am very satisfied with Lazzarini home inspection and will be referring Joey to any friend or family in need of their services. Joey was very thorough and professional. He made a stressful process go smoothly and put me at ease."

Owner/Operator

"They were very professional, helpful and responsive in answering questions and giving us a quote. In the end, we decided not to repair the countertop and sink but replace it entirely. as the previous owner installed it and it no longer fit our decor. Even though we didn't use them to make the repairs, we were very impressed with their customer service."
