They outperform the various local roofing companies we have used over the past eight years on our antique Spanish tile roof by a mile! Monique and Kasey are responsive and professional. They get the job done in a timely manner and get it done correctly the first time. The roofers working on the job are knowledgeable and courteous. They take every precaution, like putting foam pads on the tile roof before they walk on it to prevent any further breakage of the tiles. I cannot tell you how many other roofing companies just walked on our roof without any regard to further damage, breaking tiles as they did their inspection and then billing me for the tiles that they broke. Dority Roofing did a much needed full inspection of our roof last year and, when they finished, it was like a brand new roof, with every issue repaired perfectly. After the recent storms, they returned promptly and took care of all of the storm damage flawlessly and efficiently. They are true professionals, extremely reliable and a pleasure to work with! We sleep better at night knowing that whatever the weather throws at us, we have the best roofing company afterwards to take care of everything.

When I first inquired, Tim (the owner) reached out and scheduled a consultation/evaluation of my existing system for the following day. He arrived on time, was professional and very knowledgeable. He sent me over a couple different proposals that he believed would be best for me and my usage. I reached out to competing companies to test the market and one company found out that I was on a different NEM standard than we previously thought. This discovery made me second guess getting solar for the time being. I reached out to Tim and he said that he estimated I would still need to upgrade but that I could give it a few months to see how my energy bills were in the winter and early spring. To say he was right was an understatement! My bills went from $60 to over $300 some months. Now that I knew that adding to my system was worth it and had more information, I reached back out to Tim. He didn't miss a beat in suggesting a system that maximized my output and didn't break the bank. (Mind you, he spent hours going back and forth with me answering questions and concerns I had) Ultimately, I chose to go with Tim because of his expertise (he was an electrician prior to starting Golden State Solar), professionalism, customer service and honesty. He never pushed me to make a decision and gave me multiple options that he believed were best. The permit and installation process were painless and completed within a couple months (mostly waiting for the permit). The system drastically increased my solar output and I couldn't be more happy with my choice to go with Golden State Solar!

I recently completed a solar system installation with 18 panels and 2 batteries. Our original goal…read more(as we communicated to the company multiple times) was to fully disconnect from PG&E and rely on our backup generator for power during lengthy poor weather time periods. The initial installation went smoothly, but everything since then has been disappointing & frustrating. The county permitting process was delayed by nearly 8 weeks because the solar installation was not up to code. When they sent out a team to fix the problem, they ordered the wrong insufficient materials because they somehow didn't know the size of the array that they had installed weeks earlier. It eventually passed the county permitting inspection. Then there were problems with functionality during a power outage. During the sales process we voiced multiple concerns around having sufficient battery capacity to sustain multiple days of poor weather. We spent a lot of time & money to have our generator permitted based on this conversation. We were told that our standby generator could be used to recharge the batteries. When a lengthy PG&E outage coupled with bad weather in early January caused our batteries to drain to zero, with no generator charging, I contacted their service department email yet it took them 15 days to respond. They told me that the batteries can never be recharged with the generator and insisted that the prior conversations never occurred. We never would have spent $$$$ on generator permitting if we were told that it was impossible to charge the batteries via the generator. Overall, a very disappointing and experience. While the solar array works fine during good weather, that's not the primary reason why we installed the system. Poor service, dishonesty and incompetence are unaccetpable. I can't recommend working with a company that behaves in this fashion.

I have been working with Sarah on a removal and replacement of my 28 solar panels. We scheduled it…read more2 months ago. The team started the removal on Tuesday but had to leave after 3 panels die to very high winds. I have a 2nd story steep slope roof so is was not safe for the crew. Sarah was very professional rescheduled a crew for Wednesday. Of course it was pouring when they arrived but the wind was not a factor. They removed the 28 panels but had to leave the roof mounts in. If removed I would have leaks all over my 2nd story of my house. Daddario roofing is scheduled for Monday to remove the roof and again Sarah came through. Sarah had a team out Friday morning to remove the roof mounts and we are good to go. Sarah did a amazing job of rescheduling 2 different crews that I am sure were already scheduled to get my job on time. Great work by all!

It is wonderful to have an updated kitchen that has all the features that make meal preparation no longer a chore. The main reason for this transformation was selecting Solartecture as the contractor. I knew I didn't need to worry. This is the fourth time I have used Solartecture (sunroom addition, sun tunnels/windows,solar panels/generator and kitchen). The crew and subcontractors were craftsmen that did their work well. Ideas were provided to add features that really helped such as lighting upgrades. I appreciated having cabinets/pantry built on site. It was easier to bring the pantry especially to completion as we discussed different configurations as it was being built. The precision and detail applied to the project was consistent from start to cleanup. The office staff was very helpful as well. . Now, different recipes are being tried as I enjoy being the kitchen. Many thanks to George Porter and Solartecture staff for the transformation.

It was dated with plywood floor, brick facade, and a slanted roof. (One had to hunch down to reach the front.) Solartechture removed it in no time. They provided very helpful recommendations based on their professional experience, but they were also mindful of my preferences. I learned a lot! Solartecture coordinated additional services to stabilize the floor with concrete slab and add space by removing the old brick facade. Then, their skilled employees arrived to carefully install the new sunroom. It's a beautiful improvement and is now my favorite room in the house! I highly recommend Solartechture for beautiful sunroom installations, based on this company's knowledgeable management, efficient support staff, and skilled workmanship.

My experience getting solar and batteries installed by Sandbar Solar was great. I reached out to…read moreAndreas from Sandbar in late August of 2025 after being recommended by a friend. Andreas met with me that week and we discussed our goals, system design and size, and how it would impact our current energy bills. Given the tax credits ending at the end of the calendar year, I knew I most likely wouldn't be on the schedule to install and commission my system before then but Sandbar worked with me to find a financing option that provided many of the monetary benefits of the tax rebate with minimal restrictions. Sandbar completed a site audit in September and finalized the system design in November. Just after the new year, I got word that all the pieces were in place and Sandbar would start applying for permits and work with PG&E to be able to schedule our install. Drake and his team came out in the second week of January to start the installation process. I was kept in the loop and told what to expect for each day of the process. Installation wrapped up within 4 days with minimal impact to our lives and we began a dance with PG&E to sign off and install a meter collar that unfortunately lasted a few weeks, all the while Sandbar kept me up to date. Once PG&E installed the meter collar and signed off, Sandbar was back out quickly to commission the system and get me fully set up. Since commissioning, I've already seen a great impact on my winter energy bills and look forward to the rest of the seasons. After installation, Sandbar went the extra mile to help me navigate the San Jose Clean Energy rebate program after some initial issues applying and receiving the rebate. They worked with me and SJCE to ensure that I qualified and that I would receive the full rebate for my battery installation. I've already recommended Sandbar Solar to others and I'd recommend them to you as well, dear reader.

When we decided to get solar we buckled up…read morefor a bumpy process (which some of our friends experienced) and a painful installation and... NOPE. That was not the case. All smooth and no cost creep. That is because we chose Sandbar. Sandbar is truly different. A step above others. And now we know why. 1. IN-PERSON. Others provided us a quote by email sight unseen. That made us feel weary. Sandbar came to see our house first, inspected all the areas that would have been affected by the installation and by meeting us they understood what our energy goal (present and future) was and our peeve points. That turned out to be CRUCIAL for us and I still believe today that assures no surprises. BTW, no cost associated to this in person quote. 2. NO $ SURPRISES. No cost creep. And nope... their quote was not the highest either of the ones we got. 3. COMMUNICATION. They are good communicators at every level. From David to Jocelyn to Alicia. And they seem to talk to each other too so there were no crosswires. 4. REBATES. Their assistance goes us above and beyond and thanks to the post set up walk through visit, it includes submitting rebates, setting up the app and answering all our new-to-Solar questions. So so soooooo helpful! Bottom line: Sandbar is a mile above others. Fair pricing and excellent support. Truly a mile above others!
