Alert Details

This business has 1 alert.

Alert

As of April 22, 2025 we have been unable to determine that this company is licensed by the Contractor's State License Board even though they are performing services that would require such licensing. It is illegal for an unlicensed person to perform contracting work on any project valued at $1,000 or more in combined labor and material costs. 

On March 13, 2025 we sent requests to our contact on file and asked the business to provide us with their licensing information. Unfortunately, we did not hear back from the company after multiple contacts.

To protect yourself from unscrupulous or unlicensed contractors, you should always: 
 Hire only licensed contractors and ask to see the license.
 Check out the company on www.bbb.org.
 Don't rush into decisions and don't hire the first contractor who comes along.

Important Information

Advertising Review

On March 13, 2025, BBB Serving Los Angeles and Silicon Valley requested that the business substantiate, modify, or discontinue claims on the company's website, www.sunstudios.com.

 

In particular, BBB requested substantiation for “award winning” claims, “best” claims, their partnership with One Tree Planted, and client testimonials. BBB also noted that the business advertises warranty claims, “satisfaction guarantee” claims, and references “installation” claims while not being licensed with the California Contractors State License Board.

 

BBB challenged these claims based on the following BBB Codes of Advertising:
1. Basic Principles of the Code -
https://www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising#Basic_Principles_Of_The_Code

20. Warranties or Guarantees - https://www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising#Warranties_Or_Guarantees

30. Testimonials and Endorsements - https://www.bbb.org/code-of-advertising#Testimonials_And_Endorsements

 

While the business was initially responsive to BBB, as of April 21, 2025, the business has failed to substantiate, modify, or discontinue all of the advertised claims brought to its attention.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
