Thanks Volt! I highly recommend this roofing and solar company. Buck and his team are great: very knowledgable, hard-working, and have amazing attention to detail. On top of that, they're just good down-to-earth people. We hired them last spring to re-roof our home, replace some rotted eaves and fascia and replace our old solar system (it was inefficient and malfunctioned quite a bit). We are very happy with what we got for the price we paid, it was a good value. It looks so much better than it did before and is consistently producing more energy. I feel like they helped us make the right decisions through the whole process, especially for system size to be able to keep our NEM1 status. The new roof looks great and works really well. I waited almost a year to write this review to make sure there wasn't any water intrusion during the winter storms - not a drop anywhere. They were in the mid-high range in pricing on the bids we got, but I'm happy we spent a little more went with them. Can a roof be sexy? Ours sure is. All in all, if you need a new roof or solar system or home battery, or all of the above, call Volt. They are a competent and professional group of local people who are really f**king good at what they do. read more

After much research, we had the top six companies quote us estimates for solar on our Loomis house. I noticed that each company explained the process differently; some explanations were good, while others left me more confused. When Buck arrived, he stayed until we were satisfied with our understanding, and I learned so much more from his explanations than from all other companies. Considering they were also roofers and understood the difficulty with our high-pitched roof, we placed more confidence in them than the others. Hence, we chose them after a month of research and estimates. Kristen, their assistant manager, was very communicative throughout the entire project, keeping us informed about what was happening behind the scenes with permits, PG&E approvals, and the team's schedule. That helped us understand the project's time frames. Bucks crew -- Jared, Sean, and the others -- were friendly and professional. They worked quickly and efficiently to finish the job, paying close attention to detail. They went above and beyond, including sharing additional insights about our gutters and attic. I could tell they understood the bigger picture, and I am grateful for their effort. After researching many companies, we are happy we chose Volt Modern and will definitely recommend them to others looking for solar installation and roofing services. read more

PG&E electricity charge is amongst the highest in nation and rapidly worsen with time. My stone age solar system from 2009 barely made a dent with our electricity bill and it's time to upgrade. I spoke with 5 solar companies that service my area and quickly narrow down to Volt Modern for their honesty, price, technical proficiency and zero pressure sale tactics. I spend a great deal of time with their system designer Kyle going over various solar and backup batteries options with the goal of not using a drop of electron from PG&E while keeping the total cost reasonable. After we finalized the design on paper, Buck the owner and his crew chief did a walk through of my house and made adjustment of the design to make sure things go smoothly. The work started promptly and I had good communication with the work crew and their manager every step of the way. Technology have come a long way to improve solar panel performance and reduce cost of battery. You want to think of solar panels as the gas pump and batteries as the gas tank of a truck. Without a proper size gas tank you will suffer range anxiety like many EV owners. When I first had my solar installed in 2009, there were no viable "gas tank" options to store the energy generated by solar panels. I still remember the sale person laugh when I ask about batteries. Volt Modern designed my three solar arrays to face three different directions. This way it can maximize sun exposure all four seasons. I chose to go with SIgenergy stackable batteries total 27 Kwh (that's more than two Tesla wall batteries) and my solar was 13 Kwh which was twice the size of my old system. I was happy to see folks from Volt modern took the time to do things right. They first carefully removed my old solar systems. Replace and repair damaged roof tiles from previous solar install. Install and route new solar panels to the batteries. It was no small feat since my house is three stores up from the street with steep driveway. They handled fire department and city inspection swiftly and made necessary adjustment to pass inspection. I was thrilled when we turn the system on and I can monitor solar, batteries and grid (PG&E) power flow on my phone. The Sigenergy system is able to switch back and forth between batteries and grid seamlessly in case of a PG&E power failure. It is a true off grid system. I was able to stress test the system with recent bad weather and heavy fog. The system was able to absorb energy from the sun and power the whole house during the day despite dense fog and recharge the batteries! I couldn't believe I did not use any electricity from PG&E during the week where five out of seven days had dense fog advisory from weather service. It feels great to be energy independent and many thanks to everyone from Volt Modern. Will highly recommend their service! read more

Buck and Volt Modern have been a real pleasure to do business with. I negotiated with several other companies for a total roof replacement, a 30k project. In the end Buck proved to be not the cheapest and not the most expensive but truly the most qualified to deliver. Superb communication, he was onsite ensuring all goes smooth. Educated me as a customer on various differences in the work being executed and effectively coached me how to compare other offers and challenges with local city codes etc. I ended up with a superior roof installation, better water insulation, clean in and out and left no traces. delivered as promised in 3 days. There was no BS, just honest straight talk, he did not over promise nor under deliver, he said clearly what can and cannot be done and options. And reinstalled my ice melt wires on the new roof. I'm impressed. Thank you Buck and team! read more

Our previously contracted solar installer left the business abruptly this past fall just prior to scheduled installation, and our contract was picked up graciously by Buck Wilcox at Volt Modern. Despite a busy schedule, Volt Modern exceeded all of our expectations with careful review and modification of previous plans, execution of the project on time, and with superb professionalism throughout the project. Communication by Buck, Sean, Jared, and Mike was commendable and the project was performed efficiently and quickly. Kristen, the assistant manager, worked tirelessly in the office to seek PG&E approval and certification of the project despite their painful and slow administrative process. I cannot be more positive than to highly recommend them for your solar needs in the future. You will not be disappointed and you, like me, will be pleased that Volt Modern Solar and Roofing served your needs well and with the best value available. read more

Volt Modern Roofing really impressed me by their knowledge of my flat roof and their expertise in helping me maintain it and add a range hood vent. Also, they quickly submitted a competitive quote on rooftop solar. Above and beyond service. read more

Buck made time to give me a call on a Saturday afternoon to discuss a solar quote I recently requested the night before, so responsiveness was already a big plus. He was thorough, patient in explaining all the nuances with the current state of solar and PG&E, and not salesy or pushy at all which was all really appreciated. I felt like I was in really good hands and with Bucks experience in roofing and solar, the quote process felt more personalized for my situation vs. a one-size-fits-all with some of the other bigger companies we've chatted with. Ultimately it won't be for another couple months until we're ready to get serious about solar, but Buck gave me some homework to do with PG&E first to get a better idea of what would be the best ROI scenario (I'm still under NEM 1.0). I'll be reaching out to get his POV and potentially move forward in the future. read more

This review is long overdue, I had a 4 kW solar system installed last year in 2023. The experience was fantastic and the quote was much more affordable than the ones I received from Costco and several other solar installers. What really impressed me was that there was no upselling, he didn't try to get me on one system vs the other, just honest advice and quality service. The installer was down to earth, easy to work with, and made the entire process seamless. If you're looking for a reliable installer with competitive pricing, I highly recommend them. read more

HIGHLY recommend working with Volt Modern for your solar and roofing needs due to the high integrity, quality and value you'll receive as a customer of this business. THESE GUYS ARE PROS AND SO EASY TO WORK WITH! As a first time homebuyer with a small budget, Volt was able to meet me where I was at and help me with an awesome solar system that is going to add tones of value to my house and pay for itself with ever increasing cost of electricity in California. I work in the solar industry but was hesitant to do solar for my house given the corrupt and unreliable players in residential solar and the challenging regulatory environment of residential solar. Volt is the opposite and after a very detailed analysis of local solar installers they came out on top in terms of reviews, quality and price. (Btw, as a general tip, don't do solar with anyone advertising at Costco and please look up solar reviews as so many people get burned by companies that know more about advertising than roofs and solar and it's slowing solar adoption.) After a seamless contract process with their low pressure sales team (shout out to Pat!) I was set up with a custom Enphase system for my house. Sean and Jared took care of everything from there including a detailed engineering analysis and inspection of my house (even crawling into the attic!). They saved my bacon by pausing install to address an issue with my roof that would have been really hard to address with the system installed and drove all the way to Vallejo a few extra times because of it; this to me really proves the stellar business ethics of this exceptional team. They prioritized the customer over their time and revenue and proved to me that quality comes before profits. Do yourself a favor and get a quote from Volt Modern. Shout out to Kristen and Buck for being there for my questions start to finish! read more

I am so very appreciative of Buck and the Volt Modern team. They are responsible, reliable, and able to navigate challenges in a way that I have not experienced with other contractors. The whole team made themselves available whenever I had questions. They were all incredibly courteous. A big bonus is that they kept the job site incredibly neat. They made sure that all of the debris from the job was picked up and didn't leave any miscellaneous trash around. They kept themselves and our neighbors safe. So far, their product has also been working well for us! I 100% recommend Volt Modern and already have to several people who have also been very happy with their services. read more

Volt installed a new roof mounted solar sytem with battery backup for us, and we could not be happier. We started with Buck who impressed us with his knowledge and his integrity. Instead of trying to upsell us, he talked us out of things we did not need. He was patient and thoughtful answering our many questions. The installation was done by Sean, Mike, Jared and Aiden, who each and every one was polite, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. We appreciated their dedication to making sure the installation was perfect. Because they know roofing, they took the time and care to protect our roof tiles; and they even replaced cracked tiles that had been broken before they started the job! Our in-office contact was Kristen, and she was fantastic to work with. She was always so pleasant, helpful, and incredibly accessible. If you are looking for solar, I wouldn't even think of talking to any other company. read more

I think Volt Modern is a good company that does good work. I went through a full solar install with them, and while there were some hiccups, I felt the communication and service were well above average. The reason I'm leaving 4-stars instead of 5 is because their salesman was not completely honest and transparent, or not well informed, about major topics that were used to push the sale. The first was the solar incentives via the net metering program. The second was the solar tax credit. I corrected his information about net metering while we were still closing the sale. I didn't find out about the tax credit info until I filed my taxes recently - though I still contacted him to make sure he was aware of how it actually worked in hopes that he wouldn't mislead future customers. I do take responsibility for not looking deeper into how the tax credit is actually applied, but I shouldn't have been given ambiguous info to begin with. In my case, none of the misleading was even necessary - I was basically a guaranteed sale and I said as much from the beginning. I would have done the install regardless of the true status of the net metering program at the time, and regardless of how the financing worked in conjunction with the tax credit. But I do take issue with bad information being given to people who often won't have the time or resources to fully understand and vet that info. I respect that sales people have to sell, but especially in a family-owned business like this, there should be a higher standard for how that takes place. I do want to give my thanks and appreciation to the install team, who worked hard and went above and beyond with me. I also appreciate that I was able to speak directly with the owner on multiple occasions when clearing up issues (mostly related to SunPower directly, not Volt Modern or their work). I would still highly recommend Volt Modern as a company, and I feel that whatever the job is, they will get it done correctly. UPDATE: They've earned the 5th star - owner personally called and addressed all issues. You just don't find this kind of service and care from other businesses. Thanks, Volt Modern, for setting the bar all other businesses should aspire to. read more

Volt Modern Solar has been wonderful and I must say they really go the extra mile for our company. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We hired Volt Modern Roofing and Solar because we wanted a company that could do both the roof and the solar. . We have Solar and needed a reroof. Trying to hire 2 separate companies seemed too complicated, but very few companies do both. We are lucky we found them and definitely made the right choice. The job went smoothly, looks great and the solar is back up and running. The owner Buck Wilcox and his entire crew were exceptional. They were on time, did great work, respectful of our property and finished as promised. Buck is one of the nicest guys you could work with, very easy going, knowledgeable and no pressure. And his price was certainly fair. I was happy to give them the 5 Star rating. read more

I have had the solar panels for about 4 months now. So far our utility bill, which was about $600 a month, is almost 0. We installed 34 solar panels and have two 5 ton seer-16 heat pumps and an induction electric cooktop. We just pay for natural gas for our water heaters and the small connect fee from PGE. They seem like an honest company - I just recommended them to a neighbor and Volt Modern told them their house was not suitable for solar - instead of trying to sell them something. The installation crew knew what they were doing, instead of being a bunch of beginners. You might find a lower bid from another company but a lot of these contractors are nothing but trouble. The Enphase monitoring program is quite useful to keep track of what's going on. On very cloudy days we are only producing about 20% of normal. But 80-90% of the days we are close to full production. This depends upon the time of year of course. Its nice to heat and air condition the house for free - otherwise my wife would have us roasting or freezing - now she doesn't care. We have a concrete tile roof and no leaks have occurred after installation. So we are hoping to be paid back for the solar in 4 to 5 years - and the rest is just free. Granite Bay has very expensive power. One note is that they should leave instructions on how to turn on/off the solar power since a few breakers have to be used. read more

Buck and his crew did an outstanding job on my tile roof where we had water damage, removing dry rot around the rear gutters, replaced damaged wood and paper. One key area that appears to have caused a great deal of damage was the valley area of the roof that was designed in such a way that branches, Leaves, etc. could not effectively flow towards the gutter. They cut a trough in the valley a few inches wide so that any excess foliage could flow easily to our leaf Filter System we recently had installed. They also diverted our solar pool water line, which was installed by another vendor, to avoid any possible conflict with water flow down the valley. Every step of the way, Gaspar oversaw the project in a very professional nature, using quality materials, and technical expertise. Even though the crew spent several hours on the project, I was especially pleased that they discounted the projected fee based up my military background as a Marine veteran. I would not hesitate to contact this firm for any roofing or solar work in the future. read more

Buck with Volt did a great job. His crew came out to do an estimate. Educated us on what we actually needed. (I just thought our gutter was too short‍ Gave a reasonable estimate and scheduled the work . Volt 1. Clean all tile valleys (remove tile, remove debris, inspect felts, reinstall tile) 2. Remove ridge tile, install molded plastic "verde" flashing. Reinstall ridge tile 3. Cut metal bird stop at bottom of tile to allow greater volume of water to flow out of the valley. This should add years to our roof! Thanks again to this local rocklin business read more

I am extremely pleased with Volt Modern Roofing! I have a home in South Lake Tahoe, CA., I called local roofing companies in my area without any success, no one was interested in replacing my roof, I was becoming extremely frustrated because I wanted and needed to replace my roof. I started looking on line for roofing companies and I found Volt Modern Roofing. After reading reviews I telephoned Volt Modern Roofing and I spoke with Buck, he was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and courteous. I knew then that I had found the correct company to do my roof! Buck came and looked at my roof, advised me what type of metal roof I needed (I was wanting a metal roof). Buck is very dependable, he came when he said he was going to, his roofing crew came when scheduled and worked very hard. They kept my yard very clean, they cleaned up every evening when they were done, you would not have known that roofers where there all day. If anyone is in need of a new roof I highly recommend Volt Modern Roofing and Solar, you will not be disappointed, I wasn't I was so happy with the end result. I would use them again Thank you Buck read more

Volt Modern Roofing and Solar - My house with new roof - Roofing Near Me - Rocklin, California

My husband and I just had Volt Modern replace our roof and install solar panels. We cannot be more pleased with the results! Volt's bids for both the roof and the solar were extremely competitive. They also are SunPower dealers...we have had these panels on a previous home and were very happy with them. The sales representative did not pressure us or try to upsell us. The designers were able to arrange the solar panels in a way that maximized efficiency, but also did not detract from the aesthetic of our 1950s home. Multiple neighbors have commented on how nice the panels look and how great it is that they cannot be seen from the front of the house. Buck, the owner, was extremely professional and communicative throughout the installation process. The roofers and solar installation crew members were professional, courteous, and clean. All work was completed on time and to our satisfaction. Final inspections by the City of Sacramento and SMUD were completed in a timely fashion and our solar was turned on within the time frame originally quoted to us by Volt Modern. Thank you, Volt Modern! read more

I am going to try and keep what could be a novel about how fantastic Buck and Volt Modern Roofing and Solar are fairly short. From my very first contact with Buck, I knew right away I liked him and that he seemed completely honest and helpful. Unfortunately, with lack of roofers in my area I was trying to pull together quotes and Volt is the farthest quote I went for (a very different market). Because of this, I told Buck that local roofers here came in under his estimate and even though I wanted to go with them I had to pick someone else because this was an unexpected roof replacement on my part and I had to go as cheap as I could. Well, in the best possible way you can imagine, Buck wasn't going to let me go that easily and he worked with me on a price I could be happy with. He was not pushy at all- he just wanted to present something we could both be happy about and that is exactly what happened. From start to finish working with Buck was absolutely incredible. He's very communicative and supportive and excellent to work with. Our roof is beautiful, the guys did a great and clean job, and I simply cannot say enough what a great guy Buck is. He always has great advice on things, and even gave me some support/advice on dealing with a separate and terrible solar provider I'm having issues with. Go with Buck, that's all there is to it. I don't think I've had such a positive experience from start to finish in dealing with ANYTHING on my house. Thank you Buck and everyone at Volt!!The old RoTheT read more

Requested a solar electric quote from Volt. We have a stone coated metal roof and other solar firms dont want to touch it. Volt was rsponsive and happy to do the job because they are also a roofing company. They know how to work on a metal roof and did not have any issue with it. Their bid was good, and the equipment they use is reputable. read more

I needed a roof replacement and came across Volt Modern. What stood out to me was a saying on their website that they would treat your home like their church. To read that the company would take care of my home as something beloved was not just a saying, but was brought to action as truth. From the first phone call, Buck was available and responsive. I could just tell he is a friendly and good guy - not someone who just wanted my business, but cared about it. He was able to have Sean come out within days and assess my situation and get a quote. Not only was Sean thorough in explaining everything, but very detailed and helpful. Sean was available to stop by for everything I asked for, as I'd rather make sure in person when making huge decisions. One thing that stood out to me was that I never felt rushed or that I was being a nuisance. He cared to make sure I was satisfied with my inquiries, and was always friendly. My timeline for a replacement was flexible, but when a timeframe did come up I needed to work around Volt Modern was not only accommodating, but also got me in ahead of schedule. The crew came and started working and quickly and efficiently tore off the old and replaced with the new. I actually had to leave the 2nd (and final day; how quick!) of work and turning the corner to see my new roof I was stunned. It was so beautiful and well done I actually thought now I need to redo things on the house because the roof looks too good for it. I even had to call Buck again regarding the payment and he inquired about the roof; again, he actually cared about how it went, how it looked, and if I was satisfied. I wasn't treated as just a payday for them, but as a valued customer. Sean also came back to view and verify the job done and took photos of the roof for me to see all angles of the work. I know this is a super long review, but as detailed as I am, so are the people at Volt Modern. I am beyond satisfied with every aspect of this project. To me, customer service is an integral part of a great business, and I am so glad I went with this company. read more

Professional, communicative, and transparent. In addition to the awesome new roof, they were a great help in getting all permits completed.

Volt Modern was fantastic. Buck answered my call himself and listened empathetically to my problem. The next day, Shaun and and Jared inspected the roof and shared the bad news of improperly installed solar panels (by another company) and resultant damage to roof tiles. My home was going on the market, so I needed action fast. Magically, they made time for my job and made everything right. They took photos to document the process, and Buck helped by constructing a letter to the prior solar company to help us recover the cost of repairs. The entire outfit is competent, polite, kind, and professional. No need to look further. Hire Volt Modern! read more

Honest, competent, hard working contractors aren't easy to find. The owner (Buck) answers his own phone, which says a lot. He isn't afraid to give you hard news and won't sell a solar system just to make a fast dollar. The crew shows up on time and are friendly and professional. They spread ground fabric around my house so there is no debris or nails from tearing off my old shingles. The job is done correctly and pricing is fair. read more

We live in "fire country" and have a metal roof in place. As our power goes out all of the time we decided to install solar panels. Volt modern did a fantastic job. They were professional, timely, and communicated extremely well with pictures on a daily basis. Everything was left, clean and tidy. They were so great that we had them come out and install another metal roof on our ADU! They have been responsive to any needs we have had. We couldn't be happier with their service. I highly recommend them. read more

My husband and I had a great experience with Bucky and his team at Volt Modern Roofing. He responded very quickly with a time when his team could come out and give an estimate. The estimate was reasonable and done quickly. We needed some dry rot and flashing repairs. He said he could fit us in weather permitting, in a month or so which was fine, we weren't in a hurry. About a week later Bucky called and said his crew had some extra time due to the weather and they could come tomorrow. Great! Work was done in a day and we couldn't be more pleased. Bucky and his crew are such a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommend!! Thanks Bucky!!! read more

Since you're reading this, I assume you need to find a roofer. Please keep reading. Let me share with you my story. A few weeks ago, I found my husband pouting. I knew it was bad news. He only pouted for two things: no more bran muffins or something needs to be repaired. Since he just finished baking, I knew it was the latter. "The Chico house needs a new roof!" he said and proceeded to pout more. "What?!" I asked. "It is supposed to have a 30 year roof. When we bought it had a new roof." "So?" he asked. "So, it was 23 years ago. Which means, we still have 7 years left, at least!" "Sandy hired a roofer to fix a leak and the roofer said we need a new roof." Ah, Sandy. Sandy is our property manager. We don't dare ignore her. Instead of telling Sandy to go ahead with replacing the roof, we told her we're going to find a roofer ourselves. We began our quest to find a roofer. When I say we, I mean I. Since we live in SouthCal, I went to yelp. Have you seen roofers on Yelp in the Chico area? Good God! Did you see how many of them got 5 stars? Almost none of them! Crazy! I thought people in the Chico area must be hard to please, but boy was I wrong! I contacted four roofers (including Buck). Three gave me an estimate to replace the roof. Two of their prices were within the range. One gave us a price that makes you think we're rebuilding the Taj Mahal! Then, it was Buck's turn. He visited the property. He went up to the roof, he called me and we did FaceTime. He told me we didn't need a new roof. "The roof still has at least 7 years of its life," he said. What?! Yeah. Not only was the guy honest, he was also THAT good! When I asked how much would it cost us if we were to replace it, he quoted the price and it was similar to the first two. Bang! We found our guy! This is the time I suppose to tell you to hire him right, YES! And I will give you two extra reasons why: his empathy and look. His look? Yes! I'll get to this later. First, let me tell you about his empathy. When I first called Buck, he was on his vacation with his wife. He said they were just about to walk into an antique store that was going to close in 30 minutes. Have you ever seen a woman who is about to walk into an antique store? Yeah, they look like boxers who wait for the referee to call the fight. Women love browsing antique stores. They love it even more when they do it with their husbands! The fact that Buck didn't tell his wife she should go in without him showed me he has great empathy. Why does this matter? Well, a person with high empathy takes other people's feelings into consideration. You know what Buck did for us? He wrote up a report to show Sandy that we didn't need a new roof. He made sure everyone's feelings are taken care of. If you hire him, I am pretty sure he will make your feelings matter too. Now, let's talk about his look! When he stood on the roof and talked to me (over FaceTime) he looked like an executive! He was well groomed! Why do I care about his look! Aren't I looking for a roofer, not the next America's top model? Yes! But let me tell you something about looks. I don't like to hire anyone for anything who looks like they haven't taken a shower in months. In my experience, if they look sloppy, their work will be sloppy, therefore, a sloppy looking roofer will have a much higher chance of doing a sloppy job. And we're talking about a roof here! A roof costs tons of money and a brand new leaky roof is something I would never want to discuss with my husband even when he has enough bran muffins to last him a lifetime! "Hey Maria, roofing is a dirty job," you might say. Yes! I agree, but a roofer shouldn't look dirty all the time! They need to take a shower and put on clean clothes and yes, having a nice haircut wouldn't hurt, because well, they don't work on the roof all the time. Plus, as I said before, how they spend their time when they are not on the roof will tell you how they will spend their time when they are on it! If they are sloppy when they're off, they will be sloppy when they are on. So, there you have it. And oh, you're welcome! Now, give Buck a call! read more

From information through install; these guys are awesome. I originally spoke with Pat. He was straight forward and no BS which I respect. He answered all my questions and got me hooked up. I had 4-5 other quotes from companies that clearly tried to upsell. Pat and Volt give you what you want and most importantly, what you actually need. All their staff were great and the whole process was a breeze. I recommend 10000000000% read more

My wife and I moved into a new house in Auburn, CA that had an existing solar panel system installed from the previous owner in 2011. Unfortunately for us, the panels no longer had a receiver unit so we could not even communicate with the array and see what panels were in working order or needed replacement. Enter Volt Modern with Buck and Jared; they were kind, professional, and quick to come out and look at the array to assess the situation. Furthermore, Jared, who is a consummate professional, came back out numerous times and spent hours on the phone with my solar panel company in order to understand what needed to be replaced in order to restore the system to working order. Several months, microinverters, and phone calls later, we have a solar panel system that is once again operating at optimal capacity and we owe it all to Jared and Volt Moderns expertise. The most amazing thing is that throughout the process Jared refused to let the solar panel company gouge us and refused to accept our payment until the job was complete. In his words, he would not charge us until he had delivered sufficient value to justify it, and to his great credit he did just that. I am extremely pleased with the efficacy and value that Volt Modern provided to us and would heartily recommend them to anyone looking to work on their solar panel array. Bravo! read more

Last year my wife and I decided to put Solar Panels on our house. I looked at several major players. SunPower and Sunrun and decided to go with SunPower. We decided to go with SunPower and are happy with our choice. My neighbor had Solar put on their home about a year earlier and recommended Volt Modern. I did some research and found that Volt Modern has both a Solar and a Roofers License! From the moment I began working with Buck and the Volt Modern Team I was very impressed. I got all of the information I needed on how many panels I would need and the cost for the entire project. I was also informed on the NEM Plan I would be in and how PG&E would be interfacing. I was told about the Federal Tax Rebate and how that would work with the Lender I was put me in touch. Most impressive was the day of installation. It was like watching a well tuned factory with staff working on all facets of the installation at once. The entire installation was completed by 3 PM. Additionally I asked Buck to look over my roof as I had some concerns. He was able to take care of a few minor issues while on site for a reasonable cost! A few weeks later the local city inspector came out and approved the installation. We are coming up to our True Up period with PGE and it looks like the system is evenly balanced and we will either not owe any additional $$ or have a credit! I highly recommend Buck and Volt Modern!

We wanted solar and also needed a new roof so it was an obvious choice to work with a company that does both services. These guys were absolutely fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond to be responsive and give good advice. Gave us good advice planning around SMUD's rules, city inspection, and maximizing the tax rebates. Did fast, clean, and precise work. Everything is running great as far as I can tell (need panel-level data to really know, which Sunpower will start providing any day now). Tip: their schedule is less busy earlier in the year because so many people get solar installs at the end for tax reasons. read more

I called Buck at Volt Modern Roofing in a panic yesterday because it was pouring rain and I had a leak coming in off my kitchen window. He was swamped of course with customer requests but he made sure his team found time to come over to help me. They were thorough in checking my entire roof and giving suggestions of things to check to prevent the leak. It was not a roof issue thankfully but I greatly appreciated them coming out to rule out my roof as we have another storm coming in this evening. Buck the owner even called the next day to ask me if my leak was fixed, even though it wasnt the roof! And he gave me useful suggestions of what do to prevent the stucco/window from leaking. They are a terrific group and I highly recommend them! read more

My wife and I attempted to call about 12 different roofers. Volt was the first to call us back, and was communicative and fair. The work they did has resolved the issue, and was completed in a timely manner! Great people, would recommend highly! ***Update*** Our leak came back after a storm, and they came out quickly and patched up the work they completed! read more

After shopping around for a roofing company I spoke with Buck from Volt Modern. He got back to me right away, and was generous with his time discussing my project. My house is an historic craftsman on the main street of town, and the roof is complex. Theirs was not the cheapest quote, but you get what you pay for! This team is highly skilled and professional, and you can tell they really care about the quality of their work. They showed up on time, communicated well, and were responsive in solving special problems. For example, they provided a bat-proof screening around the ridge vent, and replaced an ugly downspout with a rain chain after I changed my mind. This project is truly a work of art! While we were discussing the roof project, Buck mentioned that Volt was getting certified to install solar systems. He got me on the schedule for a Summer installation, and provided attractive options for financing. The solar design is aesthetically appropriate and was installed with care. The same team of roofers assisted the electrician with the solar installation, without damaging my beautiful new roof. These people are very good. Highly recommended! read more

Volt Modern did an outstanding job installing my SunPower solar system. Buck Wilcox (CEO) was very responsive to my questions and accommodated my needs without high-pressure sales tactics. All aspects of the project went smoothly and were professionally managed (e.g., scheduling, permits and documentation, solar panel installation and interconnect, SMUD approval and final commissioning). The Volt Modern team far exceeded my expectations for their proficiency, workmanship and customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in solar. read more

Volt Modern get's my recommendation for roofing. Volt installed my roof in 2019. In 2020, i had a new HVAC, installed by Kenyan and Son. In December 13, 2021, when Sacramento had a week of rain, there was a leak. I thought it was caused by Volt. I quickly reached out to Buck, the owner, and he had two of his guys come out that day and quickly fixed the leak. The leak was not caused by Volt; however, it was caused by Kenyon and Sons Inc. Volt explained to me what happened. I quickly called Chuck at Kenyan and Son. He never returned my phone call. Buck, was very nice over the phone and very understanding. If I ever need a new roof, i'm calling Volt. read more

Found out I had a leak in my roof as the rainy season started to hit. I was rather desperate to get someone out there, but everyone else was booked - in some cases until March. I talked to the guys at Volt and they managed to get Gaspar out the next day (on a Saturday, no less!). He quickly identified and fixed the problem with no fuss. They also recommended a maintenance sweep of the roof to clear out clogs and identify additional problems. That was done within short order and all the broken tiles are repaired. Very appreciative of everything. Would recommend. read more

This company was priced competitively and had amazing communication throughout the process. I spoke to the owner before, during, and after the job. I was even sent pictures of exactly what they were doing. Extra repairs the structure needed were brought to my attention immediately, so there were no surprises afterward. They did quality work, but in my opinion, it is their great communication that sets them apart from contractors I have used in the past. read more
