Why we publish real numbers

A lot of the "$1,500 panel upgrade" numbers online come from national lead-gen networks that don't hold a license and don't do the work — they route your job to whoever picks it up. We're a licensed C-10 contractor (CSLB #1114918) who actually does the install, pulls the permit, and stands behind it. So we'd rather show you the honest range than win a click with a number we can't hit.
