The Verdict

DLS Development will show up on time and finish your roof in days, not weeks. One homeowner left town during installation and still felt confident because the project manager sent progress photos and answered every text. We found 131 mentions of reliable project management and 122 praising workmanship quality. Two patterns stood out. First, the crews protect your property like it's their own. In one story, workers carefully avoided damaging yard items and a garage during a four-day re-roof, then cleared every shingle fragment before leaving. Second, follow-up support doesn't disappear after the check clears. When a homeowner noticed a rain gutter issue 16 months after installation (caused by someone else), Daniel had a crew at the house almost immediately to fix it without charging a dime. The pricing sits in the middle of the pack, competitive but not rock-bottom, and 74 reviews specifically called out the value proposition.

If you want the absolute cheapest quote, you'll find it elsewhere. But if you want a crew that texts you photos while you're out of town and fixes a gutter problem a year later without billing you, the modest premium buys genuine peace of mind.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. P H.
Yelp | Aug 1, 2025 |

P H. chose DLS Development to replace the roof on a single-story home in Camarillo in early 2024, and what stood out most was how responsive the team was after the job was done. Daniel came out to the house and Sherry handled things from the office; together they coordinated the project, answered every question, and finished a roof that looks great. When a rain-gutter guide was removed during the install and P H. wasn’t sure how to put it back without damaging new shingles, Daniel had someone at the house almost immediately to reinstall it with no fuss. Before choosing DLS, they gathered multiple quotes and found DLS offered the best overall value — competitively priced and professional — while one alternative, though slightly cheaper, showed unreliable customer service (late for the quote, no apologies) that suggested lower-quality work. By August 2025, with Ventura County summers trending warmer, they decided the garage and attic needed more ventilation beyond the low-profile vents added during the 2024 roof job. After ordering two good-quality attic fans — one for the house attic and one for the roof above the two-car garage — they contacted Sherry, who arranged a crew the 다음주

2. Benjamin S.
Yelp | May 28, 2024 |

Benjamin S. went into a roof replacement looking for a fair price but expecting the usual high‑pressure sales pitch; instead DLS delivered the lowest bid and an estimator who was calm and straightforward. He found their approach refreshingly down‑to‑earth compared with other companies that felt pushy, and the crew lived up to what was promised. The entire roof job wrapped up in four days, with polite workers who took care not to damage items in the yard or garage and who hauled away all the old roofing debris. Office staff stayed communicative and upfront throughout the process. The roof turned out so well that he’s already booked DLS to install insulation in the attic — a clear sign that a competitively priced, no‑hassle estimate translated into confidence in their workmanship.

3. Carlos A. G.
Yelp | Feb 14, 2024 |

Carlos has been a DLS Development customer since March 2021, hiring Daniel’s team for a home remodel and a solar panel upgrade. After recent storms in LA County he discovered a leak in his three‑year‑old roof and, after his roofer suspected the solar posts, called Daniel to check the array. DLS sent a crew, inspected the mounts, and verified the panels and posts were not the source. As a courtesy they ran a water‑leak test and resealed the joints around the panels at no charge — work they normally charge a $300 service fee for when the problem isn’t related to their installation. Their technician traced the likely culprit to a relocated DirecTV satellite antenna, confirmed it had been resealed with waterproofing, and combed the roof to make sure nothing else was overlooked. He valued Daniel’s quick response, professionalism, and follow‑through; the clearest takeaway was that DLS promptly ruled out the solar system and carried out preventive resealing for free, saving him the usual $300 service charge and identifying the antenna as the real issue.

2. Patrick Hawthorne
Google | Aug 1, 2025 |

Patrick hired DLS Development to replace the roof on his single-story Camarillo home in early 2024 and ended up with a neat, professionally managed job. He worked directly with Daniel, who handled onsite coordination, and Sherry, who managed things from the office; both stayed accessible, answered questions, and kept the project moving. The new roof looks great, and when a rain-gutter guide — removed for the installation — left him unsure how to reattach it without harming the new shingles, Daniel arranged for a technician to come out almost immediately and fix the issue on the spot. That quick follow-up stuck with him. Before choosing DLS, he compared multiple quotes and felt their price and service offered the best overall value; one competitor had a slightly lower bid but showed unreliable, poor customer service from the start, which convinced him the cheaper option would have cost more in headaches. By August 2025, summer heat in Ventura County had creeped up enough that his garage and attic were uncomfortably hot despite the low-profile vents added during the 2024 roof job. He bought two quality attic fans — one for the house attic and one for the roof above his two-car-g­

Alexander has turned to Daniel and his team for roofing work for years; over that time he relied on them for full roof replacements and repairs across shingles, tiles, and metal. They delivered consistently strong craftsmanship, clear communication, and punctual completion, with an attentive customer-service staff that kept the process smooth. Finding an honest, skilled roofer had been difficult, but Daniel’s crew built trust by doing the work the right way and earning a solid reputation with DLS Development. The detail that stands out for him is their versatility—one team that handles every roofing type while maintaining dependable, high-quality service.

2. Brenda C.
Yelp | Oct 14, 2021 |

Brenda C. had solar panels installed on her house a few years ago and found it the best decision her household made. She worked directly with Daniel, who took charge of the process, stayed on top of every step, and kept the whole experience hassle-free. He remained polite, responded promptly to questions, and handled follow-through so reliably that she's asked him to install panels at her sister's home. The detail that sticks is the personal attention from Daniel — timely communication and hands-on management that turned an ordinary installation into a referral.

3. Alexander V.
Yelp | Oct 14, 2025 |

Alexander V. chose DLS to replace his roof and install solar panels and ended up with a new roof and a solar system that performs flawlessly. He found DLS delivered the best combination of price and timeline, and the installation crew was fast, courteous, and professional. He developed an excellent rapport with owner Daniel and office manager Sherry, who kept communication clear and the project on track. The roof looks great, the panels work like a charm, and what stayed with him was the company’s ability to meet the promised schedule and quality.

1. M B.
Yelp | Oct 2, 2025 |

M B. hired DLS Development to replace a 30+ year-old concrete tile roof with asphalt shingles after a fairly severe leak around the chimney, a job that required the existing solar array to be removed and later reinstalled. Scheduling dragged for about a month or two—likely because of weather and other jobs—but once the teams arrived the work moved steadily. The crews who handled the panels disconnected and stored them carefully, both trades showed up each day, protected the surrounding area, cleared most of the debris, and tarped the cleared roof overnight until the new shingles could be finished. After the roof went on, the solar crew—after some nudging—washed and reconnected the panels and pointed out a few possible roof concerns, and management ultimately addressed the remaining aesthetic issues. M B. appreciated that the hands-on crews stayed on task and left the site mostly tidy. The project left clear opportunities for improvement. The contract lacked a detailed scope outlining what roofing services were and were not included, which created confusion about repairs and finish work. The onsite foreman sometimes appeared to lack the expertise needed for particular repairs, and M

2. Mike L.
Yelp | Jul 1, 2025 |

Mike decided it was time to replace the roof on his home, which already had solar panels that would need to be removed and reinstalled. He contacted several contractors but narrowed the field to only those that handle both roofing and solar so he wouldn’t have to juggle two companies if something went wrong. After meeting with multiple crews, he picked DLS — Spencer, the sales rep, laid out the process and materials clearly, the price landed at about the same or lower than competitors, and the company checked out as licensed and bonded. Online reviews on Yelp, Google, and Thumbtack helped seal the decision. Once the project started, Sherry, the project manager, took charge and stayed responsive to every request and concern. The work moved steadily: one day to remove the panels and demolish the old roof, a couple of days to install new underlayment, shingles, and vents, a weekend break, and a final day to reinstall the solar array. A city inspector came later in the week and approved the job. DLS backed the work with a 30-year manufacturer’s warranty on materials and a 15-year workmanship warranty, and they encouraged him to reach out if any issues appeared. He allowed that only a

Facing an aging roof on a solar-equipped ranch-style home, this homeowner decided the biggest priority was finding a single contractor who could both replace the roof and remove/reinstall the panels—avoiding the usual risk of two companies pointing fingers if something went wrong. They narrowed bids to roofers that offered solar work and ultimately chose DLS after several meetings. Spencer, the sales rep, walked them through the materials and the process clearly, the bid landed about even with (or below) competitors, and the company checked out as licensed and bonded; positive reviews on Yelp, Google and Thumbtack also helped seal the decision. They set a date, picked the shingle style and color, and handed the job to project manager Sherry, whose quick responses to questions and concerns became the stand-out part of the experience. The work unfolded in roughly a week: one day to remove the solar array and demo the old roof, a couple of days to install new underlayment, shingles and vents, a weekend pause, then a final day to reinstall the panels. The city inspector visited later in the week and approved the job. The homeowner appreciates the peace of mind from the paperwork—DL
