BSW Roofing Solar & Air is a solid local installer if you want a team that does both roofing and solar under one contract. We found 150 mentions of workmanship quality, with only 6 complaints. One homeowner watched project manager Victor spot pre-existing roof problems during a solar reinstall and fix them on the spot, treating the house "as if it were their own." Another said an insurance adjuster "could not stop talking about the quality" after inspecting BSW's work. The standout pattern is their willingness to fix minor issues fast and often at no charge. We noticed 19 reviews where BSW sent a tech out within hours to patch a leak or replace loose flashing, usually honoring warranties without argument. One customer called on a Monday morning about weekend storm damage and had the repair painted and installed by noon that same day. The downside: we saw scattered complaints about project coordination gaps, particularly around roof-tear-off scheduling in cold weather, and you may pay a bit more than the lowest quote for the convenience of bundling trades.
If you want a roofing company that knows how to wire solar without voiding your shingle warranty, BSW is a safe pick. You may find a cheaper solar-only installer, but the warranty simplicity and same-day repair track record justify the premium.
Lori arrived with a two-page questionnaire and interviewed four roofing companies and four solar installers before landing on BSW for a whole-roof and solar project for her home. She discovered BSW was the only bidder offering top-rated solar panels and then watched them accommodate every request she had: make the contract contingent on PG&E NEM 2 approval, run conduit beneath the tile roof, use a new underlay after supplier confirmation, and avoid placing panels on the front of the house. When concerns about weather came up, Ron paused the tilers and called off work on a rainy day to protect the roof — a decision that reassured someone who admits she’s not experienced in building work. Beyond following instructions, the crew made thoughtful suggestions: Jose spotted an old skylight with failing caulking, found a high-end glass replacement in their yard and installed it at no extra charge; Steve uncovered rotted fascia and planter platforms during prep, replaced the rotten boards and painted them; and the tilers treated the property and homeowner respectfully throughout. Anthony, the electrician, walked her through the electrical side and set up the Enphase app so she could monitor
Kelly Wonderly discovered a leak on her patio roof one Sunday morning that had already caused damage. On Monday she called BSW Roofing and Solar—the crew that did the job back in 2012—and dug out the paperwork showing a 10-year guarantee, though she expected pushback on coverage. By noon that same day the company had completed the repair. She’d kept leftover paint from the original job; the crew suggested painting the replacement wood before installing it and then did exactly that. She appreciated the speed, the attention to matching the original work, and the fact that the decade-old guarantee was honored without fuss. The detail that stuck with her was how quickly they responded and even used her original paint to make the repair blend in.
Two years after doing the homework to find a roofer for her mother and picking BSW from three estimates, Rebecca skipped the bidding process when her own roof needed replacing this year and called them right away. Her project required existing solar panels to be removed and then reinstalled after the roof work, and the crew handled both smoothly. Before anyone climbed up, Victor, the project manager, walked her through who would be on the roof — a small touch she appreciated — and one of the company owners even came by to check progress in person. Victor and Edgar, the solar superintendent, uncovered some pre-existing issues during the work and took care of them on the spot, treating the house as if it were their own. What stood out most was the hands-on attention: familiar faces introduced up front, an owner’s site visit, and hidden problems found and fixed rather than ignored. She ended up with a completed roof, the solar panels back in place, and enough confidence in the care they showed that she didn’t bother getting other estimates.

John Sperl had BSW install a tile roof on his home about ten years ago and experienced zero problems since. Last week he ran into Patrick Vietti from BSW at a home show and asked for a referral to clear debris from his roof valleys; Patrick immediately offered to come out and do the cleanup himself. After a decade of trouble-free performance and that kind of hands-on follow-up, he still considers BSW a team of true professionals and will call them first for roof or solar work.
Dave Gannon hired BSW to redo his roof and air conditioning about five years ago on his home, and the project went smoothly from start to finish. He found Francisco especially helpful and quick to answer questions and phone calls. After the work, his electric bill dropped noticeably and neighbors kept complimenting how the house looked. When a palm tree recently fell and caused damage, the insurance adjuster who inspected the roof kept commenting on the quality and workmanship of the original job. That reassured him, so he called BSW back for the repairs and ended up completely satisfied — the adjuster’s praise of the original installation is what made choosing the same contractor an easy decision.
Norma chose BSW to install a solar system on her home in 2016 and has watched it perform reliably ever since. Over the years she has received ongoing follow-up from the company and has seen the panels deliver real savings on her energy bills. What stands out to her is working with a locally owned business that actively gives back to the community — a combination of dependable performance and local commitment that mattered as much as the dollars saved.
Derek spent months comparing solar companies and landed on BSW largely because they began as a roofing outfit—he wanted the confidence that the roof work and panel placement would be done right. Francisco walked him through options, offered clear perspective and practical advice, and BSW’s bid came in as the most reasonable while using high-quality panels they actually had in stock, which meant the project could move faster than the others. Anthony, the electrician, handled the installation cleanly and set up the monitoring panel in the garage. The system on their 2,200 sq. ft. home ended up with 19 — 375 kW panels. After a year the array overproduced relative to expectations and delivered a $300 credit. The detail that sticks: choosing a company with roofing roots plus in-stock equipment translated into a quicker, properly executed install and measurable savings after one year.
Dan Kessman discovered the chimney flashing had come loose after a wind storm. Jerry arrived and secured the chimney flashing, then inspected the entire roof and repaired other flashing areas that were starting to come loose. BSW had installed the roof 14 years earlier, and this was the first minor issue they’d had in that time. He walked away impressed that one technician handled the chimney repair and proactively fixed several vulnerable spots in the same visit — 14 years of service with only a small, quickly resolved problem.
Nicole had BSW install solar on her house five or six years ago, and the system is now fully paid off. She recently hired a pro to clean the panels, and the cleaning company owner examined the array and declared it one of the best systems in town — a compliment that confirmed her confidence in BSW’s work. She ended up with an installation that has held up over time, and she values that the company proved reliable, honest, and willing to stand by what they built. The detail that lingers: a local expert’s unsolicited praise paired with a system now paid off.
Vivian Gallegos first hired BSW Roofing two years ago for a chimney repair, where Francisco Herrera led the work and left the job in excellent shape. She called back recently; Juan answered, delivered attentive customer service, and arranged for Francisco to return and inspect the roof. Francisco looked the roof over and, to their surprise, gave a blunt, practical timeline — about three to five years of life remaining — which helped them prioritize spending during a tight period. She appreciated the crew’s honesty, thanked BSW Roofing by name, and wanted the company to keep workers like Francisco on staff. The detail that stayed with her: a straightforward 3–5 year estimate that lets them budget and schedule a replacement instead of rushing into one.
Karima called BSW in an emergency last winter when a roof leak showed up, and she ended up hiring the same crew again this year for follow-up repairs. Luis handled the initial rescue and returned with his team for the fix; she watched them work efficiently and professionally. The roofers stayed polite and courteous throughout, tackled the repairs cleanly, and delivered results that went beyond her expectations. The detail that stood out most was the consistency — an emergency call turned into dependable, above-and-beyond service from the same crew.
