Century Roof and Solar reviews

Rick had Century Roof & Solar install solar panels on his home — not once but twice. The original modules developed manufacturer defects, and the problem escalated into a class-action lawsuit that grouped several homeowners against multiple manufacturers and distributors. Tony Diaz didn’t just manage the installation side; he jumped into the dispute, helped the plaintiffs’ lawyers understand the technical realities of solar, and helped shape the litigation’s theory, strategy and tactics. The case settled in the plaintiffs’ favor, Century installed replacement panels, and the job was completed nearly ten years ago. When new issues emerged with that second install, he found Tony stepping up again. In an industry full of horror stories, Rick escaped that fate with his installer’s advocacy and follow-through — the memorable detail being Tony’s willingness to go from roof-level fixes to courtroom-level support and back to the roof when needed.

Ramona Sledge had a new roof and solar panels installed on her home in December 2019, and the installation itself went smoothly and without stress. When the solar company later filed for bankruptcy, Tony Diaz reached out to her before she even thought to call, outlining the bankruptcy status, explaining what it meant for her system, and walking her through how to register the warranty with the company that took over. He handled the follow-up for customers who bought both a roof and solar from him five years earlier, turning what could have been a confusing situation into a clear, managed process. What stuck with her most was Tony’s proactive outreach and hands-on help with the warranty transfer — the practical support that made the difference long after the sale.

Ramona hired Tony and his crew to put a new roof on her house and add solar panels in 2019. She worried, like most people do with big home projects, about missed appointments, sloppy work, and messy crews — but the job unfolded without those headaches: the installation showed careful attention to detail and solid workmanship from start to finish. Five years later, when the solar-panel manufacturer filed for bankruptcy, Tony popped back into the picture before she even reached out. He walked her through exactly what to do to transfer the warranty, sent step-by-step instructions and a how-to video, and laid out the actions needed to protect their investment. For a contractor she hadn’t seen in half a decade, that proactive follow-up stood out — and it’s why she plans to call Tony again when her daughter needs a new roof and solar.

Rick L. had Century Solar, led by Tony Diaz, install solar panels on his home — and ended up needing them replaced twice because of manufacturer defects. When the failure broadened into a class-action that grouped multiple homeowners against several manufacturers and distributors, Tony didn’t just coordinate the replacement work: he guided the plaintiffs’ attorneys through the technical side of solar systems and helped shape the litigation’s theory, strategy and tactics. The case settled for the plaintiffs, Century installed new panels, and for nearly ten years the array performed — until fresh problems emerged with that second installation. Once again Tony stepped up, navigating the dispute and handling the hands‑on work. What stood out was that their installer treated the problem as his to solve: he helped push the legal outcome in their favor and still climbed back on the roof to replace panels himself, twice.

Reg S. has relied on Century Roof and Solar for more than 25 years to handle roofing work on his Bay Area home. Over that time he came to regard them as the highest-quality roofing company in the region and steered friends and neighbors to Century for roof repairs, replacements, and solar installations with battery backup; those referrals all ended up pleased with the workmanship. He singled out owner Tony Diaz for expert knowledge, integrity, and a meticulous attention to detail. As a vivid example, Century put a new roof, solar array, and battery backup on the house next door; when the neighborhood experiences frequent outages the neighbor’s Tesla battery kicks in seamlessly and the home remains entirely unaffected. That reliable, trouble-free backup is what convinced him—the same system is on his to-do list, and he plans to call Century when he moves forward.

David first hired Century Roof and Solar to replace his roof in 2010 and brought them back in 2024 for a solar installation, so this reads like the experience of a long-term customer rather than a one-off job. He found the crews punctual, the work professional, and the site left tidy at the end of each day. What made the experience stand out was that the same company handled two major projects across 14 years and delivered consistent reliability — arriving when promised and keeping the property clean throughout the solar install.

Peter hired Century Roof and Solar to replace an old roof in 2022 and to add solar panels in 2023 on his home. He accepted a higher-end quote but found the workmanship worth the extra cost. The roof and solar array came together as planned and finished on schedule; crews cleaned up at the end of each day so the site never felt neglected. The installation team worked methodically—skillful, friendly, and efficient—taking time where it mattered to handle each detail carefully. He felt confident choosing them because Tony’s team has long experience in the business and came recommended by others. The most memorable parts of the job were the clear craftsmanship and the daily tidy-up: visible signs that the premium price bought a neat, on-time result rather than extra hassle.

Helen replaced her old roof and had solar panels installed in 2019 on a house without air-conditioning, and she ended up with more than just clean power — the area of roof covered by panels now produces electricity and keeps the attic and upstairs noticeably cooler in summer. She appreciated the crew’s prompt, personal service during the project, and the system has continued to perform effectively since installation. The detail that sticks: the panels not only generate energy but also reduced heat gain, delivering an unexpected comfort benefit on hot days.

Paul Son hired Century Roof and Solar to repair his roof, and the project unfolded with the owner, Tony, taking a hands-on role from the start. Tony visited for a thorough consultation and walked him through the options with obvious roof expertise, then followed up with a video call to review the statement of work and contract. The back-office team stayed respectful and responsive, and the roofing crew arrived on time and did solid work. Early on a vent was accidentally damaged (the roof was already in poor shape), and Tony immediately sent someone to fix it at no charge — a clear example of a customer-first approach that played out more than once. The crew pulled permits and handled things by the book; when additional work was needed they photographed the issue, explained why, and were upfront about any extra cost before Paul signed anything. They even painted siding and trim that had been damaged by a different contractor — work that wasn’t in the original scope but that Tony arranged anyway. The only real quibble was communication from the crew on day-to-day plans and that cleanup could use a second check after they leave. About a year later the repaired roof has held up through
