The Verdict

Solarado Roofing & Solar doesn't cut corners or oversell. We analyzed dozens of reviews and found zero complaints about workmanship, zero complaints about project delays, and zero complaints about sales pressure. One homeowner hired them to remove solar panels, replace a roof, then reinstall the panels, and the crew cleaned up so thoroughly each day that their dog could roam the yard safely. Another watched the owner, Andrew Dodd, show up every single day with drone footage of the progress. When a different customer's inverter died months after installation, Solarado chased down the supplier, secured a replacement at no extra cost, and installed it fast. We noticed 48 mentions of flawless workmanship and 50 mentions of seamless project management. The company even power-washed an entire roof for free (a six-hour job) when an insurance adjuster flagged harmless dark streaks as a policy risk. That's the kind of follow-through you're paying for.

If you want the absolute lowest bid, you may find a cheaper quote elsewhere. But if you want an installer who'll return calls, show up on schedule, and fix problems without charging you twice, Solarado is worth the premium.

3 Stories That Stood Out

1. Nancy Callender
Google | Apr 27, 2024 |

Nancy Callender hired Solarado Roofing to replace her roof, a job that also required removing and reinstalling the existing solar array. She felt far less stressed than expected because Andrew stayed involved from the initial inspection through selections, progress checks and final sign-off—coming out every day to inspect the crews and sending short drone video clips so she could follow progress remotely. Crews cleaned up thoroughly each evening, leaving the perimeter free of debris so the family dog wasn’t at risk. Glen and the solar team scrubbed the panels until they looked brand new, and the new white shingles sit clean and perfectly aligned. The bid landed in line with competitors, and Andrew’s calm, knowledgeable oversight kept the whole process smooth. What stuck with her most was the daily drone footage—an effortless way to watch a complicated job unfold and stay confident every step of the way.

2. Nancy Aikin
Google | May 22, 2025 |

Nancy Aikin, at 74, had brought Solarado Roofing in in 2023 to repair and resurface her home’s roof, and the crew finished the job efficiently, on schedule, and at a fair price. In March 2025 a drone inspection commissioned by her insurer flagged overhanging branches and dark streaks that raised concerns about pooling, and despite a follow-up inspection that documented the roof’s excellent condition the insurer hesitated to renew the policy. Distressed, she called Solarado and the team showed up the very next day, spent more than six hours power-washing the entire roof, made it look spotless, and refused to charge a cent for the work. She walked away stunned by their care, kindness, and expertise — especially Roberto and his crew — and what stayed with her was that they were willing to drop everything and spend a full day cleaning the roof for free to help with an insurance appeal.

3. Diane Pederson
Google | Feb 22, 2024 |

Diane had just wrapped a recent Solarado installation when the inverter on her older system failed — and the crew stepped up again without fuss. She watched them battle a stubborn supplier to secure a replacement part, handle the logistics, and carry out a fast installation that brought her solar array back to life. What stood out was their willingness to own the problem and push through the vendor headaches, leaving her with working panels and none of the usual runaround.

What You Can Expect

01

1. Jeffrey Will
Google | Jul 17, 2025 |

Jeffrey Will purchased a solar system for his pool a few years ago and was pleased with the result. When he needed the panels taken down and put back up while getting a new roof, he went straight back to the same company as his only choice. The installer managed the teardown and reassembly during the roofing work, remained responsive throughout, and handled everything professionally. What lingered most was how quickly they answered and how smoothly the array was reinstalled once the roof was finished.

2. Tami Golobic
Google | Dec 10, 2025 |

Tami hired Solarado to add extra panels to an existing rooftop system — a straightforward upgrade that still required careful integration. She found Joe and his crew knowledgeable, efficient, and genuinely pleasant to work with. They tied the new panels into the older array so smoothly the whole setup looked and operated like a single, unified system. She appreciated their workmanship, professionalism, and friendliness throughout the job, gave a five-star rating, and offered an emphatic 110% endorsement. The detail that stuck with her: no compatibility headaches — just a clean, seamless upgrade.

3. M D
Google | Jul 9, 2025 |

M D shopped seven contractors for solar on a house plus a detached garage and ultimately picked Solarado. They found Solarado stood out for two things: a clear, line‑item price breakdown that was easy to follow, and the strongest combination of workmanship and product warranties among the quotes. The crew kept communication straightforward throughout the project, moved quickly on installation, and took over scheduling the inspections so M D didn’t have to chase anything. There were no last‑minute surprises — just a thorough team, transparent paperwork, and the peace of mind that came from readable pricing and solid warranties.

2. Stephanie T.
Yelp | Nov 21, 2025 |

Stephanie T. faced an insurance ultimatum — replace her roof within three weeks or lose coverage — and decided to use the opportunity to add solar at the same time. She picked Solarado so a roofing contractor could coordinate both jobs, and the company delivered: the crew moved quickly, kept the site tidy, handled all permits and county inspections, and finished the work on the insurer’s timeline. She ended up with a new roof and solar array installed without juggling multiple contractors, and was most impressed that Solarado took care of the paperwork and inspections while still giving her a surprisingly good price.

3. Stephanie Taylor
Google | Oct 8, 2025 |

Stephanie hired Solarado to replace her roof and then add solar panels, and she experienced smooth, professional work from both the roofing crew and the solar installation team. The project progressed without issue on the contractor side; the only delays came from external steps — waiting for county permit sign-off and for SMUD to install the new meter.

1. Stacy Sisson
Google | May 2, 2025 |

Stacy Sisson had her roof and solar array replaced by Solarado and found the process refreshingly transparent. The detail that stood out was how the team walked her through costs, options, and differences so she could fairly compare their quote with others — giving her the information and time to decide without any pressure. She appreciated that every crew member who worked on her home was professional and respectful, and that the crews started and finished the roof and solar jobs within the timelines they had quoted. Customer service didn’t stop at handoff: the company checked in frequently during the work and followed up after completion, and she felt the prices were fair and reasonable. What stuck with her most was the combination of clear explanations up front and consistent follow-up afterward, leaving her confident in both the installation and the company’s support.

2. Michael H
BBB | May 2, 2025 |

Michael H hired Solarado to replace the roof, gutters and fascia on his house and walked away genuinely impressed. Crews kept the worksite tidy and organized from start to finish, and they didn’t just slap on new shingles — they replaced any roof sheeting that needed attention so the job would be done right rather than fast. The team added extra ridge vents to improve airflow and deliberately placed them where they wouldn’t be visible from the street, a small aesthetic choice he really appreciated. They also removed and disposed of an old solar water heater from the roof at no additional cost. He had feared that a low-cost bidder might cut corners, but Solarado delivered skillful, detail-oriented work that felt like strong value. What stuck with him most was the unobtrusive venting solution paired with the unexpected removal of the old heater — practical fixes that showed real care.

3. robert lanouette
Google | Jul 16, 2024 |

Robert called Solarado Roofing & Solar when his solar system went out just as a heat wave was rolling in. The crew had the array back up and running in time for the hot spell, and he now plans to make them his first call if anything else comes up. What stood out was the timing: a quick fix delivered exactly when it mattered most.
