Elite Roofing and Solar Solutions reviews

The Verdict
Elite Roofing and Solar Solutions has a serious reliability problem. In one case, an 84-year-old homeowner climbed a ladder herself to check the gutters after workers assured her they were clean, only to find them stuffed with construction debris. In another, a customer waited through two no-show appointments before giving up on getting an estimate at all. We found 15 reviews describing vanished estimates and 6 documenting missed appointments with no notice, a pattern that suggests systemic scheduling failures rather than isolated mistakes. When crews do show up, the results are mixed. One homeowner's roof project ballooned from one week to four because the work failed inspection the first time, while another discovered a leak in a brand-new roof after just two years and spent a week calling for help with no callback. The company does employ some skilled crews who complete tile roof replacements efficiently and clean up thoroughly, but 31 reviews mention project-management breakdowns, from price changes mid-job to crews who don't speak English leaving communication gaps on site.
If you're weighing Elite, assume the estimate phase will test your patience and budget extra time for potential rework. The workmanship scores are decent when projects go smoothly, but one in five reviews flags post-sale support failures, and the no-show rate for appointments is too high to ignore.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Chardonnay hired Elite Roofing Solution in January 2019 to replace the flat roof on her Southern California home, paying about $13,000 for top-tier materials that carried a 20‑year product warranty and a 7‑year labor warranty. After the first heavy rains in years on December 30, 2021, water started seeping through burst holes in the paint of her daughter’s bedroom wall, leaving visible water damage. She called the company over the holiday and was promised a return call on January 3; instead she has called and messaged every day since, repeatedly being told Leo or Kevin would come out to repair the roof, but no one has followed up or shown up. Frustration built not just from the damage but from what she sees as poor workmanship on a relatively new roof and a complete breakdown in customer service. As of January 7, 2022, the leak remains, the wall is damaged, and the premium installation that cost her $13,000 has produced neither a repair nor the responsiveness the warranties implied.
Kelly V. hired the company to replace the roof on her 84-year-old mother’s home and ended up with a months-long headache. After signing the contract, the crew tried to tack on a 3% credit-card fee; the company later acknowledged the error, and they refused to pay since it wasn’t in the signed agreement. On the very first day, her mother discovered a worker asleep on the front porch for about an hour and a half. Communication proved difficult because no one on site spoke English, and the crew worked sloppily, leaving nails and debris scattered around the property and even in the rafters. The job was supposed to take one week but stretched to nearly four after failing the first inspection due to poor workmanship, and they caused damage to the chimney, the garage, and a bedroom ceiling. When a worker insisted the gutters were clear, the 84-year-old climbed a ladder herself and found them full of construction debris. Kelly also had to chase the company for receipts for the second and third payments; it took two weeks to get the final one. Most striking was the total lack of oversight — her mother ended up supervising the project and physically checking work that the contractor never re
David C. bought a new house while still three months into an apartment lease and wanted all repairs finished before moving in. He spoke with a friendly-sounding representative who promised to personally handle the job, then discovered that person was actually a salesperson — a minor deception compared with what came next. He was promised an immediate start but watched the company push the kickoff back repeatedly until his lease expired, so he ended up moving into the house and living through the construction. When work finally began the quoted price nearly doubled after the crew claimed a "mistake" on the estimate — they said they had misidentified his roof type even though they had done an in-person visit and climbed on the roof. Once the roof was torn up, the company demanded more money again, blaming rising lumber costs. He refused and they warned that an open roof would risk rain damage, effectively forcing his hand. They relented with a smaller price increase to get him to continue, then delayed a week because they’d started another project. After that week the reduced charge vanished from the new invoice; the crew denied ever agreeing to it, leaving him no realistic time‑

What You Can Expect
Steve M. was shopping for solar for his home and found the company unusually easy to talk with and work alongside. He discovered they really operated like a family business—every crew member treated homeowners and each other with respect, which he contrasted with experiences where employees didn’t seem to care. He appreciated a clear, professional presentation of the system, and the competitive pricing ultimately closed the deal. What lingered for him was the respectful on-site team combined with a straightforward proposal that made choosing them easy.
Mike R. had Elite install his solar system about a year and a half ago and was pleased with the work, but recently ran into trouble getting any follow-up. For more than a week he tried calling multiple Elite phone numbers and left several messages, yet nobody returned his calls. The sharp contrast between the solid installation he received earlier and the current lack of responsiveness is what left him most frustrated.
Derick W. hired T&G Roofing to reroof his property, only to have them ruin the roof and fail to pull a required city permit. Left dealing with that mess, he turned to the installer reviewed here, and the company produced a timely, well-priced quote to help address the situation. He found the staff friendly, professional, and straightforward — a clear contrast with the roofer’s handling of the job and permits. The detail that stuck with him was getting a practical solution and respectful service in the wake of a botched, unpermitted reroofing.
