Company founders, Josh McDonald and Eric Caldwell, bring decades of business and construction experience to Modernize Construction along with a passion for transforming older homes into more modern energy efficient homes. At Modernize we treat every customer like family which means treating everybody with respect, being upfront and honest, and acting with integrity at all times.
The Solar PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is the most popular method of going solar. There is no out of pocket expense for equipment or labor. The solar company pays for 100% of the installation costs, and maintains, insures, and monitors your system for up to 25 years. You simply pay a low discounted fixed rate for your electricity and save from day one.
Here's what most people don't realize. In the summer the roof can heat up to 140-150 degrees or more. It can literally be over 50 degrees hotter than the temperature outside if a building has a standard roof. That heats up the wood sheeting and radiates down through the attic heating up the 2x4's, insulation, and finally radiating through the drywall ceiling and ultimately into the living space.
When it's time to replace your old tired heating and air conditioning equipment with a new energy efficient system Modernize Construction has you covered. Over the lifetime of the equipment, a properly installed heating and cooling system can yield up to a 300 percent return on your investment through lower energy bills, especially true for Sacramento area customers of PG&E.

I have used Eric and his team at Modernize two times in the last 6 months for projects at my home. The first project was the installation of a Generac whole house generator. From start to finish Eric and his team were very professional, responsive, and got the job done on time. The second project was solar installation. We are thrilled with the finished result and have recommended Modernize to close family and friends.

Modernize took on three large projects for us, and we could not be happier for the referral from a friend. From our first conversation with Sales, to the project completion with the engineer and techs, the process was seamless; they even took the pain of permitting, which in itself is priceless if you've ever had to go through that process. =) Everyone who came out was courteous, respectful, professional, hard-working, etc.; I cannot say enough for their work ethic and dedication to completing the projects in such a timely manner. We will definitely recommend Modernize to others, and contact them

Installation for a Generac whole home generator is complete. The process went smoothly. As is always the case, the city permit process is what is the most time consuming. But Modernize Power kept me apprised of each step of installation. And when the permits were approved, the installation was done quickly. The crews were professional. They were friendly and conscientious and answered all of my questions. The office staff was very responsive and walked me through the process from the first day I signed the agreement for installation to the last day where I was given training on the use and maintenance

Modernize power installed a whole house generator. Their whole team from the initial sales to the installation through to the final inspection was seamless. Their crew were very professional, knowledgeable and went out of their way to ensure everything went well. I would recommend them without hesitation!

Modernize Power is by far the best contract company I've worked with since we bought our house 4 years ago. We have a house built in the 60s with an old Zinsco panel that couldn't handle the upgrades we wanted to do to our house. One internet inquiry led me to Eric and his wonderful crew. Unfortunately for us, the upgrades we were planning wouldn't be as easy as a simple panel swap. Eric was always up front about the reality of the cost and timeline in having to bring underground cables up to code and having to work with SMUD to make sure everything was on the up and up. Every step of the way Modernize

Hired Modernize power to install solar panels and relied on their product judgment and materials. They were a referral from a family member to begin with who also was very happy with their work. I found the install team to be very professional throughout the process. It wasn’t until a family member had a similar install that I decided to add solar, for some years now I fought against it based on cost but now I’m happy to have done it through Modernize power, and I’m very happy to watch my solar generation feeding back to PG&E !

We had initially started a solar project with PetersenDean, but they went bankrupt before they could installed our system. Earlier, we had had our Generac generator serviced by Brandon at Modernize, back when PG&E was first shutting off power due to fire danger. So we contacted Modernize about picking up our solar project. Modernize made several recommendations, revised the plan, and installed the system in a very timely manner. The system has been running for a month and a half, producing about a megawatt-hour a month now, on target with what we had hoped for. Great response, very professional

Modernize Power installed a 22KW Generac whole house backup generator and a 14.8KW Panasonic ground mounted solar array with Solaredge inverters and optimizers. Although the most expensive by far for the generator, I was satisfied that Modernize was taking care of the system from soup to nuts including all the propane work. The install team was professional and courteous. The quality of the workmanship was superior in every way -- to the extent that the inspectors commented on it as well (I'm an electrical engineer, but not an electrician). My disappointment, hence the 4 out of 5 was the solar

We had a whole house generator installed by Modernize Construction. This company is amazing, professional and did a great job. Now when PG&E turns off the power we will have it. They even did a "fake" power outage so we could see the generator do its job. They showed up on time which is a big deal for us and stayed late to finish up a job. We could not be happier with this company. Thank you Eric, Josh, Nick and Mike for all of your hard work.
