Vlad I.

Amazing work by Clinton and his team. I couldn't be happier. No BS, no scheming tactics. He was a man of his word, had everything installed and turned on under 3 weeks. Other solar companies were quoting 3-5 months before permission to turn on. Clinton and his team did a fantastic job setting up the panels, arranging them to look clean, and educating me about differences in Solar. We are beyond happy with our 9.6 kW system and would recommend everyone go to him. Fantastic job!

This was a great experience. Clint and his team had our solar system installed and connected to the grid five weeks from signing the agreement. His crew was courteous and very professional. Clinton answered all my questions. Couldn't be happier.

Clinton will insult you if you don't allow him to be rude to you.

I was in the market for solar panels on my house and did extensive research before calling this company. I told the man I spoke with exactly what I wanted and he tried to steer me to a different product. I tried to explain to him that I had already done my research and knew exactly what I wanted, but he cut me off mid sentence several times. I let him know his rudeness lost him a potential customer. Edit: I am appalled that a retired veteran is trying to twist the facts. I read his email and did not want to buy Qcell solar panels that he kept pushing like a used car salesman. I asked for a quote for Panasonic panels which are far superior to what he was pushing me to buy. Panasonic solar panels are superior to QCells for the following reasons.1. They are more efficient which is important when you have limited space on your south facing roof. 2. Try degrade less quickly that QCells, which means they will produce more power for more years. This is when he cut me off and said that Panasonic no longer builds their own panels, but is "white labeling" solar panels built by another company. He got mad when I told him that many companies do that. Kenmore appliances are built by Maytag, Kirkland tires were made by Michelin, Goldstar (now LG) used to make TVs for Sony. Just because QCells is the solar panel that most people buy does not make them superior to Panasonic. More people buy Chevrolet than Cadillac. Does that make a Chevy better than Cadillac? If he didn't want to install what I wanted he could have simply said "we can't do that". Instead of being rude and cutting off a potential customer. Now he resorts to calling me a "quote collector". He also states in his response that homeowners do not have the right to say which solar panel goes on their roof. I'm a 25 year retired Army Veteran that has the money to pay in cash for my solar panel project. This guy thinks he is still in the Navy and can talk down to potential customers like they were junior Sailors. Beware any company that resorts to name calling when someone disagrees with them! CLINTON DOES A GOOD JOB TARNISHING HIS OWN IMAGE WITHOUT MY HELP. Edit Edit: I changed my one star review to two stars. A Salesman named Tyler reached out to me yesterday and was genuinely trying to make things right with me. Even though we only talked on the telephone he really seemed like a good down to earth guy that was really trying to make this situation better. It is for this reason and this reason alone that I changed my review. Thank you Tyler and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Johnson Solar installation.  Great job!

Johnson Solar is hands down the best company out there! I can't begin to explain but, they deserve the best we can give back. It's really old school service and hard working employees. We called with a few questions and the next day Clinton was out first thing in the morning to give us a price and explain all the details. Within 24 hours our panels were in place running backwards in rabbit mode. That's why I say old school service, that's the working ethics of yesteryear. It's so nice not to have to worry about what hours are the best to use electricity to keep the bill down. Electric car, air conditioners and all the rest, and the bill is still a negative (which is a positive for the pocketbook) balance. It's weird how they work so happily together. Thank you, so very much Clinton and staff for the elite craftsmanship, customer service and prompt working ethics. The word of mouth is still the best bet for hands on craftsmanship and you can bet your bottom dollar that we'll tell everyone to go to the best, Johnson Solar! :)

Don't hesitate to choose Johnson Solar! Clinton is upfront, direct, and expedient. I live in a HOA community and have a clay tile roof that needed new underlayment. Clinton solar reroofed and installed solar panels cheaper than than the competition. Believe me I checked. Including both SolarSage and all the top rated San Diego Yelp results. Clinton is the real deal. I contacted him 11/11/20 and by 12/15/20, SDGE granted me a net metering agreement. Yes that is basically 1 month from my 1st contact with Clinton to me: 1. Spending a week getting other quotes equivalent to what Clinton proposed and realized he was beating the competition 2. To Clinton removing clay tile roof 3. To Clinton Installing new underlayment 4. To Clinton Reinstalling clay tile roof 5. To Clinton Installing 22 LG panels with microphase inverters *recessed in a low profile manner into the clay tiles* 6. To the project passing final SDGE inspection. He abided by my HOA rules and all was smooth and efficient. No hassles, no surprises, no mistakes. The crew always left the home in a clean presentable manner each day they finished. Clinton was true to his word with pricing, timing, and quality of work. Top notch. A genuine pleasure to do business with. Clinton follows through with details and communicates back with you quickly. Have confidence on a job done excellently the right way while still being efficient with time for an extremely competitive price when choosing Johnson Solar.

Clinton helped me out with a 5k solar system. I really appreciated how quickly he was able to get plans approved , panels ordered and installed. Total turnaround was 15 days from contact to getting permission from SDG&E to operate. That's insanely fast. Highly recommend Johnson Solar. Thanks Clinton for all your help

The finished system

See all

I am highly recommending Chris Wilder, Owner, of WEATHERMASTER Roofing Services. He and his crew…read morehave done an excellent job of installing a new "cool roof", fascia boards, and replaced damaged wood. Chris has completed the job in the time-frame he originally proposed. Chris is very knowledgeable, and he and his crew are very courteous. AND, everyday they clean up any debris around the house caused from their work. On a scale of 1 to 10, I give them a 12!

Chris, the owner, was straightforward, professional, and very hands-on throughout the entire project. What impressed me most was that he worked right alongside his crew every day and appeared to work just as hard as anyone on the team. The crew consistently arrived just before 7:00 AM, but never started work early out of consideration for us and our neighbors. They were dependable, communicative, and showed up exactly when they said they would. Another thing that really stood out was how clean and organized they kept the job site. At the end of each day, they thoroughly cleaned the area around our home, swept the sidewalks, and carefully searched for nails and debris. Chris was also very accurate and honest with his estimates. He explained upfront that any damaged wood replacement would be additional because it's impossible to know the extent of hidden damage ahead of time. In our case, there was a significant amount of dry rot and insect damage, but all of the extra woodwork still came in well within the estimated range he had provided. The project was also completed about a day earlier than expected. As an added touch, Chris even offered to paint the fascia for us if I supplied the matching paint. Overall, this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. We've worked with many contractors over the years, and this company ranks among the very best. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing roofing work done.

With all this rain this year, and our aging house, I'm glad we have this company around to help. Joe came out to look at our roof leak. He accessed and gave me a quote using his service department (two man team, paid hourly). He figured it would save me money (versus a flat charge) since the work wasn't too big. Technicians came out the following week. Edmundo explained his work and did his magic so future water would divert more towards the gutters than the side of our house. Techs were both super nice and hard working. They finished the repair in a few hours. I received the invoice a few weeks later, and notice a small discrepancy. Joe verified the work with his technicians and fix the invoice. Excellent customer service! Communication, work and customer service is great. Love working with companies like this. Eventually we'll need to re-paper our whole roof. We'll definitely use Diamond Roofing again.

The team that came to do the repairs were also friendly and polite - the foreman showed me the damage and was thorough in explaining that some additional items were needed. Diamond Roofing sent me a report with photos documenting the repair which was awesome. At this point the proof will be in the pudding once it actually rains, but I do want to note the thorough job Dan and his team has done on the front end.

Best Decision We Could Have Made…read more Choosing a company to replace your roof is a big decision. Your roof protects your home, your family, and a huge part of your property's value. So when the time came for us to replace ours, we looked at several companies. In the end, choosing Cal Roof was absolutely the right call. From start to finish, they were incredibly responsive, kind, caring, and professional. Every step of the process was handled with attention and care, and you could tell immediately that this is a company that truly takes pride in their work. They weren't the cheapest option, and honestly, when it comes to something as critical as your roof, do you really want the cheapest? At the same time, they weren't the most expensive either. What they were was honest, fair, and incredibly easy to work with. I worked directly with Doug, and he's just one of those people you immediately trust. He's personable, knowledgeable, and a straight shooter who clearly loves what he does. You get the sense that roofing is in his DNA. That authenticity and professionalism ultimately made the decision easy for us. The result? A beautiful new roof, no more leaks, and real peace of mind knowing our home is safe and dry. If I could offer one piece of advice to homeowners, it would be this: don't wait until your roof starts leaking like we did. Be proactive. Have your roof inspected regularly and work with a company you trust. For us, that company is Cal Roof. And choosing them was one of the best home improvement decisions we've made.

In October of 2022 we had a new roof put on our commercial building. Every year since then our…read moretenants have informed us of leaks. Every year we call. 3-7-2026 Cal Roof went out and fixed the areas where the building still leaks. Unfortunately, we won't know if it is fixed or not until it rains but we do appreciate the service and will update when we can.
