Sara Kendall

Sara is a homeowner in Austin, TX. She specializes in residential solar energy, particularly in regards to what states are doing to make solar affordable and in how homeowners can easily understand the costs and terms associated with installing solar panels. Sara is also Modernize’s home design expert, weighing in on everything from flooring choices to making small bathrooms and kitchens functional to picking siding and porch décor. Since becoming a homeowner, she has had two separate pipes burst, experienced a hard freeze and was without water or power for a week, and lived through several hurricanes. She values making home maintenance and care as easy as possible. Sara eagerly awaits the day colored appliances become affordable – she hates stainless steel.
