Unified Solar And Roofing reviews

The Verdict
We found an installer who'll talk you out of unnecessary work. After analyzing dozens of reviews, we saw the same pattern: Mark Dice and Eric Richwine assess a problem, explain what actually needs fixing, and send homeowners away with free advice if that's the right call. One customer facing post-storm leaks expected a roof-replacement quote but instead got a video walkthrough showing a deck installation issue and a referral to someone who could fix it. Another homeowner dealing with solar damage from a previous contractor received free photos and video documentation that became essential evidence in their legal fight. The company handles combined roof-and-solar projects as a single coordinated job, which matters when you're trying to avoid the nightmare scenario where the solar installer blames the roofer and vice versa. In one case, a Scripps Ranch installation wrapped the roof replacement in three days (with daily progress photos sent to the owner vacationing in Washington), then integrated the solar mounts directly into the new roof membrane. That home survived the next monsoon season with zero leaks. Sixteen reviews mentioned communication quality, often citing text-message response times measured in minutes rather than hours. The team runs large crews (one reviewer counted 15 workers on-site) to compress timelines, and they document every replaced board and termite-damaged section with hundreds of job-site photos.
If you need both a roof and solar, hiring separate contractors adds coordination headaches and finger-pointing when problems surface. This team does both trades in-house, which means one point of contact and no gap where leaks can hide between scopes of work.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
Kirstin N. faced significant leaking and water damage after recent heavy rains, so Mark from Unified came over to inspect the roof. He walked through the whole house, diagnosed that the roof itself wasn't the problem, and redirected her to a likely deck installation issue — even handing over a contact number for that specialist. He filmed a small problem he believed she could fix herself and left clear, practical guidance instead of a stack of unnecessary quotes. Kirstin appreciated that he used his expertise to help rather than push work that wasn't needed, which stood out compared with other companies she had talked to. She ended up impressed and grateful; when they eventually install solar she plans to call Mark at Unified, and for now she'll follow his advice to get the leaks under control. The detail that will stick with her is the video walkthrough and the referral number he left.
After another solar installer left her roof badly damaged, Beth reached out to Roofing Specialists of San Diego / Unified Solar and Roofing. Mark Dice and Eric stepped in, captured detailed photos and video of the damage at no charge, and that documentation later proved essential in her dispute with the other company. Nearly two years later, once the fight was settled, she asked Mark for bids on a full roof replacement and new solar; they were one of four estimates and not the cheapest, but their quote felt the most realistic and honest because it accounted for work that would actually be needed rather than cutting items to lower the price. Mark proved to be a master communicator—she could text, call, or email and get a reply within minutes. The crew replaced her roof and solar swiftly, wrapping up before the heavy rains hit. Overall, the free, thorough documentation early on and the company’s willingness to include necessary work rather than low-ball the job left her with a five-star impression for their advice, communication, and workmanship.
Cameron bought a new home in Scripps Ranch in December 2022 and chose Mark Dice because the company does roofing as well as solar—he wanted one crew to be accountable for the roof itself rather than a separate solar crew that might cause leaks. After the monsoonal rains in January he discovered many leaks and, with the roof and solar work not scheduled until March, spent hours in the rain patching areas around his garage. When a later hurricane hit San Diego his house had no problems, a clear contrast to those early rains. Mark and his roofing crew moved quickly and cleanly — Cameron watched daily progress through photos the team provided while he was on vacation in Washington State and felt confident about how the job was proceeding. The roof installation finished in about three days and included setting the solar mounting posts; based on how those posts were integrated into the new roof he feels confident there won’t be leaking for decades. The solar side also ran smoothly overall. The unified team stayed flexible while outside electricians completed pre-work needed before grid connection.

Chrystine had braced for the usual roof-replacement headaches—cost overruns, delays and messy crews—because a previous job had gone exactly that way. Working with Unified and project lead Mark Dice upended those expectations. He accommodated her schedule, communicated with her every day, and when a snag turned up with her leased solar panels he tracked down the issue and figured out how to resolve it. She ended up with a solid roof and the kind of hands-on attention that mattered most: daily updates and a contractor who took personal responsibility for the leased-panel problem.
