What an energy-backed contractor means

We design solar, roofing, electrical, insulation, and remodeling as one plan so you are not juggling multiple bids or finger-pointing. One project lead, one schedule, one warranty, and clear communication reduce risk and keep bills predictable.

Every project is sized to your usage and local utility requirements across California, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa. That means right-sized production, safe electrical upgrades, weather-ready roofs, and interiors that feel calm when the crews leave.

How the Honu Package works

A coordinated plan that connects your energy production, building envelope, and finishes to your financial goals.

    We assess your roof, electrical, and usage to size a solar system that funds your upgrades without overspending.

    Roofing, electrical, insulation, interiors, exteriors, and repairs are coordinated by a single point of accountability.

Questions homeowners ask us first

Quick answers about timing, roofing, and accessibility during projects.

Most projects move from contract to site walk within 5-7 business days. We sequence roofing, solar, and interior trades to minimize disruption and keep you in the loop weekly.

Not always. We inspect decking, flashing, and penetrations first. If your roof has 10+ years of life, we design around it. If not, we bundle targeted repairs or a re-roof into the same schedule.

We provide accessible digital updates, captioned walkthrough videos, clear timelines, and site protection plans. You will always know what's happening next and who is on-site.

No. We can handle any home upgrade — from new house numbers to a dream bathroom — with or without solar. If you skip solar, we offer competitive financing and payment plans for all upgrades.
