For anyone interested, I started the paper work on this. Let's see what the HOA police will say. Got a really good quote for a 4.48kW system @ $3.25/W. Total price is $14,560 out the door ($10,192 after tax credit).  I'll break even after about 6 years, which I think is great. This system should...

looks really good. how much did they charge you for the cabinets? I got the exact same color as you for the epoxy.

All personal preference. I looked at both and ultimately decided on CV.  I didn't like how far OH was from the freeway but this is the very same reason people love OH and will pay a premium for it. I love how there is a central park/school in the middle of CV and also CV's proximity to JOST...

Wow. I'm pretty sure that is illegal in CA. I think I know which house for are talking about.

Out of curiosity, how long did it take HOA to approve your permits?  After running the numbers, my payback will probably be ~6-7 years which I think will be worth it since I think I'll be in the house for awhile. 

Look what I started! Good luck guys.

Did you lease or buy?

reviving this thread...  can anyone share their electricity bill before and after solar and recommend who they went with? I'm starting to do some research to figure out my payback.  All signs point to it being not worth it right now, but I'm still in the early stages of my research.

this makes me feel OK about paying 1.1M for a plan 2... there is hope for appreciation for someone like me who bought in the last phase!

It's the inside that counts =) #thatswhatmymomtoldme Inc was kind enough to invite me over to his house last weekend to get some backyard ideas and I loved what he did with the place.  It just reminded me about how much post-move-in things I have to do

We are also going with Sean and Savanna Scapes.  Looks like they are getting a lot of business here.  Will keep everyone posted. I'm planning on getting all my plants thru them because 1) I do not have a greenthumb and 2) I don't have the time to dig out holes. 

Maybe you have a bigger yard than me? I got the conservatory option which cuts into my yard. But that's great that you felt the same way about Sean. I did too, but he was the only person I contacted so far so I haven't committed yet.

Any particular reason why you didn't go with Savanna over KS if they used quality parts and are cheaper?  I actually got on the phone with Andrew once (from KS) and scheduled a time for him to come by.  I had to reschedule and have sent about 4-5 texts with no response.  I'll try emailing...

It's been so hard getting a hold of KS Landscaping.  I guess they must be really busy.  I did hit up Sean from SavannaScapes and he seemed like a really cool guy.  Does this sound expensive? I only spent $4000 on my first yard with a non-license contractor (super small yard) and I want to do...

I just got mine done from Premier garage for ~1500-ish.  I did use an Angie's list coupon and also have a referral coupon if you want. 

They made the laundry room hallway smaller.  I noticed this wasn't an option at Sage when I checked right now. http://imgur.com/6GfpWCw

There is an option to convert that downstairs bath to full bath.  We have a shower in there.  There was also a builder option to put in a closet to the downstairs den.  We removed the closet, but kept the door so yes, technically it's not a full room, but for $1k i would've put the closets back...

Maybe?  Which floor plan are you looking at? There was an option to convert the downstairs 0.5 bath to full bath and also an option to convert open den into full room (I took the closet out, but kept the door so technically it could still count as a den). 2 beds upstairs with 1 full bath and...

We are officially Redfin official and the funds finally showed up in my bank account today.  :) First off, thanks Martin for being an awesome agent.  We couldn't have been more happy with the outcome.  In speaking with several agents during our down-selection period, I found Martin to be a...

how much did each of them charge and what was done?  I'm looking to get my backyard done.
