Next Door Home Upgrades
Next Door Home Upgrades is a reasonable company to quote. The licensing relationship is clear once you look past the brand: Next Door Home Construction is the corporation that holds license 1054136 and does business as Next Door Home Upgrades. The license is active, was issued in 2019, and carries B general-building, C-10 electrical, and C-39 roofing classifications. The state record showed no disclosable action, citation, accusation, or civil judgment when checked.
There are still gaps worth pressing on. Solar is one of three primary service lines alongside roofing and home efficiency, but no solar job count or revenue share is published. The company says its crews handle solar mounting through battery setup, which is useful direct-labor evidence, not a complete no-subcontractor guarantee. Its 10-year workmanship promises apply to roofing and home-efficiency work, not expressly to PV labor. Get the solar warranty and each party's job role written into the proposal. The business history also has conflicting dates, so use the 2019 license issue date as the reliable baseline.
The evidence
CSLB issued license 1054136 on May 30, 2019. BBB reports 2014 incorporation and a 2019 business start, while company pages say it has served homeowners since 2015 and has 15 or more years of experience. The current sources do not reconcile those dates, so 2019 is the verified licensing baseline.

No disclosable-action, citation, accusation, or civil-judgment section appeared on the reviewed CSLB record. BBB shows an A+ rating, accreditation since January 2025, and no published complaint count or record on the fetched complaints page. This is limited favorable public evidence, not proof of a zero-complaint history.
Next Door Home Upgrades, Next Door Home Construction, and Next Door Solar were absent from the three reviewed Solar Power World lists. Solar and Battery is one of the company's three top-level offerings, but no project count, megawatt figure, revenue share, or installation share was found.
CSLB lists Next Door Home Construction doing business as Next Door Home Upgrades as a corporation with active license 1054136 through May 31, 2027. The displayed classifications are B General Building, C-10 Electrical, and C-39 Roofing, with a $25,000 contractor bond and workers compensation on file. No C-46 Solar classification is displayed.

No quantified solar workmanship or labor warranty appears on the solar-and-battery page. The company publishes 10-year workmanship warranties for roofing and home-efficiency work, but those pages do not say the terms cover PV installation labor. Do not treat a roofing promise as a solar warranty without contract language.

How to read this
This B reflects a solid license record with ordinary evidence gaps, not a promise that every part of a solar project is covered. Use it as a reason to ask sharper questions. Confirm who installs the panels, who handles electrical and roof work, whether any part is subcontracted, and the exact solar labor warranty. A clear proposal should answer all four without a sales detour. Our full rubric, including how our own installation business gets graded on the same scale, is on the methodology page. We are a solar installer and we partner with other solar companies. Grading is structurally separated from revenue; see disclosures.
