“I recently had Solar Optimum install a solar panel system on my home, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final installation and ongoing service, Solar Optimum has demonstrated exceptional professionalism, expertise, and customer care.
Addressing Roofing Concerns
My home has a lightweight tile roof, which presented a unique challenge for the solar panel installation. Solar Optimum's sales representative, Kevin, took the time to thoroughly explain the reasons behind replacing the roof tiles under the solar panels. He provided a clear and detailed explanation of the entire process, ensuring I fully understood the reasoning and steps involved. Additionally, Kevin presented a competitive quote that aligned with my budget and expectations.
Exceptional Installation and Service
The installation and service teams at Solar Optimum were nothing short of exceptional. They demonstrated a high level of expertise and professionalism throughout the entire process. I was particularly impressed with Mike, a member of the service team, who went above and beyond during the job site cleanup. He not only ensured the area was spotless but also noticed cracked tiles in other areas of the roof. While I was out of town on business, Mike patiently addressed all my family's questions and concerns, leaving them thoroughly impressed with his service attitude.
Overall Recommendation
Without a doubt, I would highly recommend Solar Optimum to anyone considering solar panel installation. Their commitment to customer satisfaction, combined with their expertise and professionalism, makes them an outstanding choice. They consistently exceeded my expectations, and I am confident that they will do the same for you.
Key Points to Highlight:
Patient and thorough explanation of roofing replacement necessity

“We did not ultimately choose to go with Built Right Construction for our project, but I want to express how much we appreciated their professionalism throughout the process. Carlos was excellent at communicating via email, prompt during the inspection, and provided us with a very detailed estimate of the work needed. He even followed up with us regularly to ensure we had all the information we needed. While we didn’t end up using their services, based on the level of professionalism they displayed, I cannot recommend their company enough.“
“I had the pleasure of working with Golden Heights Remodeling for my recent kitchen remodel, and I couldn't be more pleased. David, the project manager, was incredibly professional and well-organized throughout the entire process. The crew was efficient and their craftsmanship was excellent. The project was completed quickly, and the final price was fair and transparent. The communication was top-notch, and there were no hassles along the way. I highly recommend Golden Heights Remodeling and David if you want a functional and beautiful kitchen!“
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Bay Valley Roofing to replace the roof on my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with their exceptional service. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and stress-free.
The team was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the different roofing options available to me and helped me choose the best one for my needs and budget. The crew that performed the installation was efficient, meticulous, and did a great cleanup job.
I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail and commitment to quality. They went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of the job was done to perfection. The new roof looks fantastic and has already made a noticeable difference in the energy efficiency of my home.
If you're looking for a roofing company that you can trust to deliver exceptional service and quality workmanship, I highly recommend Bay Valley Roofing. They are truly the best in the business!“
“Insurance in California has been very difficult with carriers requesting for replacement on roofs to keep one homeowners insurance in place. As an license agent, I have referred customers over to Quality Roofing. Their professionalism has been outstanding. My clients have been very happy with results of the their new roof, but most of all how Ben and his father Steve Hubbard have provided great communication on their bids and ensuring the customers of the process of the work to be done. Thank you very much Steve and Ben. I will continue to send more business over to you. When my clients are as happy as they have been, it makes me happy to continue to refer you both out.“
“Last winter's storm blew some shingles off my roof. I decided it was time to replace the roof after 27 years. Having heard many stories about unscrupulous roofers, I spent 10 months researching and reading up on blogs, reviews and company websites. I interviewed quite a few roofing companies. They are all reputable and established companies with good reviews. Nelson convinced me to choose Paragon for the job. He showed a lot of patience answering my questions, he was warm, sincere and showed a genuine willingness to meet customer's needs. Nelson was reassuring throughout the process. What impressed me the most is his promptness in replying to phone calls or texts. He took the time to listen to my concerns and worked to resolve issues timely. The entire roof was replaced in two days. Nelson showed up both days to make sure things were done properly. The crew worked long hours and were professional and efficient. The project had some wrinkles due to city hall's skimpiness in its inspection process despite very exorbitant permit fees. Nelson tried his best to address the city's deficiencies. Paragon did a good job on my roof.“
“Acker has done a spectacular job for me. For years I had a pesky leak around my chimney, for no obvious reason. Acker has been patient and we have (hopefully) found a solution without opening up the whole roof.
Acker's tech Kevin worked very hard in the hot sun to seal the chimney bricks and otherwise patch areas where the water could be coming in. Acker's bill was very reasonable, and I was especially appreciative of the methodical approach taken.
I highly recommend Acker for any of your roof work.“
“Our 18 year old Monier Lifetile Cedarlite roof had many broken tiles due to its inherent fragility and foot traffic from painters and solar equipment installers. Most roofers that we contacted refused to work on it because of its fragility. We eventually found 3 roofers who made bids (one without even going up on the roof!). We chose California Custom Contractors (CCC) because the owner, Greg Meo did a thorough inspection which he documented with photographs. His proposal, again carefully documented with photographs of the proposed repairs, was not the cheapest of the 3 but its thoroughness and Greg's obvious experience with Cedarlite tile roofs (again, more photos of past jobs) made the choice clear. We learned that CCC does not install new roofs but only does repairs.CCC cleaned moss and other debris from the roof, replaced and painted all pipe flashings, replaced all broken tiles and installed metal flashing to replace the original cracked lead flashing. All of the work done was documented with photographs. Our roof now looks fantastic and we are confident that there will be no leaks. Greg and his team of 3 very experienced workers were a pleasure to work with and get my highest recommendation. If your roof needs careful conscientious repair, call California Custom Contractors; despite their generic name, they only repair roofs.“
“To make sure my roof was in excellent shape, the roofer I just dealt with went above and above. Strongly advised!“
“Jorge and his team did an amazing job on our roof. He was easy to work with, trustworthy, and was really great at answering questions and listening to any concerns. He checked in with us regularly throughout the process of redoing our roof and gave us multiple options without being pushy. I only wish he did more than roofing so that we could keep hiring him for other projects!!!“
“Robert and Sun Valley Roofing just finished our roofing job. The job was excellent including adding ridge venting, vent intakes, new flashing and replacing rain gutters. Couldn't be happier with the results, the turn around time and communication throughout the project. Great job.“
“Project- Balcony/Patio tear out and reinstall, including waterproofing, drainage, and repair of a leak.My house is about 80 years old; I discovered that there was a leak from a (nearly) roof-top patio down into the dining room wall below. Ben came over, assessed the situation, and was very up front about the price being determined by what they find after they pulled up the patio flooring. Unfortunately, it was kind of a mess under there. Ben explained the process and pricing very clearly and set up the different crews for each layer of the the tear out and reinstall. They were great about working with my schedule, Ben always called me back if there was an issue. The job, which was a multi-step project, was finished pretty quickly. Everyone was very polite, cleaned up and carted away any debris after every layer and they were even very nice to my dog, (who can be a little annoying ) it looks good now and I am confident that the waterproofing is solid. Will definitely rehire them for for future projects!“
“Jon brings a lot of experience and integrity. He alerted us to the need to not mix types of exhaust vents on the roof (i.e. powered roof vent with ridge vents and gable vents). In doing more research as a result of that, I learned a lot and was surprised at how little other roofers knew or were willing to discuss. We ended up going with a different roofer when we had our roof replaced, but am regretting the decision. Now during the actual roof replacement, the costs of additional repairs to replace plywood sheating, trim pieces, etc from this other roofer are extremely high. In Jon's contract, he spelled out the costs including labor to do this additional type of work.“
“Dynasty Roofing did a great job reroofing our house. They were informative and explained the entire process clearly. The team got everything done quickly in only 3 days. They were very well worth the wait and the price. We are happy to recommend Dynasty Roofing to our family, friends, and neighbors.“
“George at S.O.S. was very easy to work with and his crew did a great job replacing our roof. The rains this year were very persistent but George handled everything well and kept us informed all along the way. He was very thorough and made the process very easy for us.“
“I used Cornell for a roof repair 20 years ago (2004) that lead to redoing a flat roof section. Quality was top notch. For 2024 that roof being close to thirty years old it was time to do a full replacement. I spoke to number of friends to see who all they used and got four different bids. Some were much higher than others. Cornell was very competitive. I really enjoyed working with Clint and his son. They do a very solid high-quality work with very high-quality materials. I highly recommend.“
“Like everyone else's, our roof started leaking in last winter's rainstorms. Our go-to favorite roofer isn't certified for flat roofs like ours. We called another local roofer to patch the leak, but he said it might not hold because the leak might involve our solar panel supports. He was right. We called Diablo Solar, who has done all the solar installations for our family and earned our trust again and again. They patched the leak temporarily as a warranty repair. We agreed that replacing the roof was overdue, but should wait until the rainy season ended. Diablo's customer support tech explained that our solar panels would have to be removed for the roof to be replaced, and that also was covered by their warranty. We wanted a company that was compatible with our solar people; they recommended Steve Meier. Alberto, the roofing estimator, came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate. That was in April or May, and they were booked until August, but we were fine with waiting for a rain-free month. In the meantime, we ordered an independent roof inspection before and after the job, so both companies had the same picture of what was needed. Let's make a long story short. We now have a beautiful new roof and working solar. Steve's roofing crew and Diablo's solar team, in spite of never being at our house on the same day, coordinated seamlessly. There are symphony orchestras who don't play that smoothly together! Steve's people were punctual, the job was done well, and the area was always left clean and tidy. The workers were polite and pleasant. In spite of the sounds of people walking on the roof, we were happy to have them here. The inspection was a good idea. The followup inspection suggested a few superficial things; Steve sent out a crew promptly to take care of them, and we were done. The cost of the new roof was actually a little less than the estimate. I hope that answers your questions. If you have a flat roof, this company is very, very good at covering your needs.“
“Mortensen Roofing roofed our house 35 years ago and it still stand strong. That is until a branch came and chipped a cement tile - they were great and helping me procure a new one a tiny bit different than our old one. However, it will do the job!
Thank you, Mortensen roofing“
“Great team, they were on time and ready to work. They were more concerned about the building than I was and that is refreshing“
“40 years ago Rollamatic installed a beautiful sliding glass roof over our atrium. We own an Eichler home. Our atrium is central in the house and it is also the main way we enter and exit our home. Whatever the issue Rollamatic has always taken care of our system...installing new glass when one of our kids broke the glass...installing a new motor after decades of use...tweeking the old supports for the system to roll smoothly. In our house the Rollamatic roof is more than a thing of beauty: it helps us stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer; and it protects us from the rain. We can either have an extra room i.e. the atrium, or open the roof 100% to enjoy the fresh air. It has also made it possible for us to have a beautiful indoor garden with flowering vines that cannot withstand our winter cold: bougainvilleas. Our Rollamatic Roof makes every day in our home better!“
“Jason worked on our house before we moved in. I contacted him afterwards for more information and recommendations. He is so knowledgeable and helpful, and just as importantly, he is honest. It was a true pleasure working with him. Highly recommended.“
“Gorman did a great job of navigating our community project. We had no choice but to push this project swiftly due to weather related issues. Gorman did a great job of seeing it through, not only were they respectful of our residents but were quick to respond to any questions/concerns that we had. Thank you Gorman!Service: Roof repair“
“After 30 years of dealing with constant repairs to our Flat Roof, we finally decided to go for a new one. Got many estimates and did a lot of research into the best method. The "oldtimers" wanted to do the "rip off the old one and tar and gravel a new one". That is SOOOO 1980's. The younger ones had several different methods, most of them way too expensive. The more I read the research, the more i liked the Silicone Method. It's fairly new but highly preferred by experts especially for the "Dreaded Flat Roof". I found Pitre Construction and Roofing, a family owned business that's been an East Bay (and beyond) favorite for decades. I dealt with Ricky Petri, the son of the founder. I really lucked out. He is a big proponent of The Silicone Method. It's waterproof, has no seams to fray and leak, keeps the house 10 degrees cooler (delightful during this current 90/100's heat wave). They offer a 5,10, or 15 year manufacture's warrantee, depending on the thickness of the silicone used. The roof is power washed first, then treated with a primer and taped flashing, then completely covered in General Electric manufactured Silicone. There are no seams. Ricky is a blast to deal with. He's a high energy, delightful young man who's been doing roofing with his dad since he was 5. The workers are professional, experienced and very tidy. We were totally thrilled with the result. If any of you have been dealing with the torment of a flat, or long-term leaky roof, i feel your pain. It's so comforting to not have to think about the upcoming rainy season for many years to come. Ricky's estimate was VERY fair, way cheaper then the 10 or more estimates some of which went as high as 16K. If you're in the market or just tired with dealing with the stress of wondering which part of the ceiling is going to leak or fall this winter, give Ricky a call. He comes out, explains your options and gives you a free estimate.“
“Rick is the best roofer ever!!!!!!!!! He has kept my roof in shape for 15 years, by inspecting it every year, and doing the necessary repairs to keep it reliable. He is currently replacing the wooden facia with new gutters, and downspouts, which is making it possible to keep the roof, but still do the upgrade that is needed, make the roof great, and the house beautiful. I am always so pleased with Rick's work. He is honest, reliable, I have counted on him for all these years, and still do. If you need any kind of roof repairs, or roof work, this is the company to call. You will be able to believe every word Rick says. The work is fantastic. As soon as the new gorgeous gutters and downspouts are installed, I will add pictures.“
“Great job! A very hard working professional crew. Just in time for the upcoming storm.“
