The project was done professionally from start to finish.  Took about a week including inspections and waiting for concrete footings to dry.Crews showed up on time, were personable and displayed pride in their work. They kept us informed about what was going on and asked us when there were options we might want input on.
The job site was kept clean. They even put excess concrete in shovel-sized piles so they could remove them the next day. When a conflict arose with the concrete company, they volunteered to come in for a delivery at 4:30-5:00 am (in the dark!) to keep the project on track.
Electrical conduit in the garage was installed unobtrusively. They upgraded the electrical panel without additional cost (even though that could have been an extra charge per the contract). The drywall removed during the upgrade was replace/repaired and even painted! (Looks better now than it did before.)
The lead installer was a great supervisor...getting the best out of his crew with a coaching management style ensuring a happy staff while listening to their suggestions and honing their skills. We found that very impressive, probably contributing in no small part to the outstanding job.
If forced to recommend how they could improve: Warranties and installation manual for inverter were a little slow in coming.
We would recommend Urban Design Solar without reservation to anyone considering "going solar."

My parents In-laws house had water damage from an overflowing toilet that caused extensive damage to 4 rooms.Urban Design was the second bider on the repair - restoration job. Their price was significantly less then the original estimate. They were prompt, professional and respectful. They were able to complete the job while the my inlaws were visiting out of town family over Christmas. They came home to a house that did not look like there was ever any damage. Urban Designs worked over the holiday to make this all happen on time and within budget.
