How does Sierra Roofing and Solar compare where you live? Rankings are local; an installer that leads one city can trail in the next. See how they rank in your city →

Why this differs from star ratings: most five-star reviews say “great company” and stop, and star averages reward that. These category scores only count reviews with concrete evidence, weighted by recency and the reviewer’s track record. A company can hold a strong star average while specific categories score lower; that gap is usually where the real story is. Categories with more complaints than praise are the questions worth asking any bidder, not necessarily dealbreakers.

Where Sierra Roofing and Solar builds

County-by-county activity from CPUC records through May 2026.

What this data covers: *Counts on this page, including the totals up top, come from investor-owned-utility interconnection records (SCE, SDG&E, PG&E). Work in municipal-utility territory, such as LADWP or city utilities, and outside California does not appear here, so this company's true totals are higher than shown. Unlike the county rankings, this profile also shows counties below the 250-install ranking floor.

Sierra Roofing and Solar reviews: what customers say

An independent synthesis of published customer feedback across Google and Yelp, updated September 23, 2026. Green marks praise, amber mixed experiences, red complaints.

Sales & proposal integrity

Sales Integrity7.0/10

Reviewers describe Sierra’s sales and proposal process as often professional, thorough, and responsive, with several noting clear inspections and well-explained proposals. At the same time, a smaller set of complaints points to inconsistent information, casual estimates, and occasional pressure or expectation mismatches around the contract or scope.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Thorough inspections and clear proposals. Many reviewers say the proposal process felt detailed and professional, with staff taking time to inspect the roof and explain the work. Several describe the team as organized and credible during the sales phase. Representative review excerpt: "I would like to thank Emily in the front office for coordinating to get someone out to inspect my roof, Robert for doing a comprehensive inspection and proposal for work..."

Professional sales team. These reviews emphasize follow-through and a smooth handoff into the project. Representative review excerpt: "Sierra Roofing up and down , professional and competitive w their sales ( Robert ) to operations ( Julio) , office ( Gina) to the fields..Good follow up, great housekeeping..."

Inconsistent expectations in a minority of reviews. Complaints describe situations where reviewers felt they received conflicting information, vague estimates, or terms that did not match what they expected from the original discussion. A few also mention concerns about how the contract language or scope was presented. Representative review excerpt: "one guy said one thing, someone else said another."

Price & financing transparency

Price Transparency6.4/10

Reviewers are split on pricing and financing transparency. Many say the pricing was fair or clearly explained, but a meaningful minority describe higher-than-expected bids, added fees, or frustration around deposit and rebate timing details.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Clear pricing and useful options. Some reviewers say the inspection reports and pricing discussions were detailed, with multiple remediation options laid out at different price points. Others describe the pricing conversation as straightforward and helpful. Representative review excerpt: "Their inspection report was detailed and included helpful pictures, along with multiple remediation options at different price points."

Fair price for the issue. A few reviewers report receiving what they considered a fair price and appreciated being shown how to address the problem themselves if it returned. These comments suggest some customers felt the pricing and guidance were transparent. Representative review excerpt: "I was quoted a very fair price and Robert even showed me how to handle the issue on my own should it reappear."

Higher costs and fee concerns. Complaints mention bids coming in well above other estimates, as well as confusion or frustration about deposits, estimate fees, or timing around rebates and incentives. These reviews suggest pricing was not always experienced as clearly or predictably. Representative review excerpt: "Overall, the reroof estimate was about 50-60% more expensive than several other contractors' quotes (other contractors with 4-5 stars on Yelp) - and this is for the same roofing material..."

Communication & coordination

Communication7.5/10

Reviews generally describe strong day-to-day communication, with many customers saying staff responded quickly, answered questions, and kept them informed. Still, there are notable complaints about missed calls, slow callbacks, and difficulty getting through to the office during some projects.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Responsive and educational communication. Many reviewers say staff replied quickly to emails and texts and took the time to explain how the system worked. These customers describe the communication as reassuring and helpful throughout the project. Representative review excerpt: "He was always quick to respond to emails and texts, answered every question we had, and took the time to educate us on how the system works so we felt..."

Good coordination across teams. Several reviewers say the office, sales, and crew coordination felt organized, with clear follow-up and professional handoffs. These comments often describe the project as managed well from start to finish. Representative review excerpt: "Throughout the communication was tight and streight Up detailing any issues, there crews each with a Specialty handle each detail Skilfully completing the task fully and professionally."

Reachability issues in some cases. Complaints describe difficulty getting someone on the phone, missed appointment-day calls, or repeated follow-up being needed to get updates. A few reviewers say communication gaps made the experience more stressful than expected. Representative review excerpt: "Near impossible to get ahold of someone/ bounced from one extension to another to another/ finally got someone- provided all my info only to then hear I'd be called back..."

Timeline reliability

Timeline Reliability6.4/10

Reviewers commonly say Sierra kept projects moving and communicated timing changes when delays occurred. Even so, a meaningful set of complaints points to rescheduling, start-date changes, and uncertainty about when work would actually be scheduled or completed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Keeping customers updated during the job. Some reviewers say the team kept them apprised through installation and handled the work solidly once it began. These comments suggest timing was not always perfect, but updates were often part of the process. Representative review excerpt: "Alex, Blair and Carlos kept me apprised throughout the installation and did solid work."

Delays handled with context. A few reviewers mention start-date delays or weather-related slowdowns, but say the company explained the reason and prioritized safety rather than rushing. These accounts frame the delays as inconvenient but understandable. Representative review excerpt: "Unfortunately Mother Nature had other plans and some inclement weather delayed the final steps, but we genuinely appreciated that the company prioritizes safety for their crews rather than rushing risky..."

Schedule changes and short-notice rescheduling. Complaints mention deposits being followed by vague scheduling expectations, as well as last-minute notices that work could not start as planned. Some reviewers describe needing to reschedule after already arranging time off. Representative review excerpt: "I was told after I made my deposit payment that I would be informed of when my project would be added to the schedule and an approximate timeline of when..."

Workmanship & site care

Workmanship8.6/10

This category is a clear strength overall. Most reviewers describe the crews as professional, skilled, efficient, and careful with cleanup, though a small number report site-care problems such as debris, gutter issues, or damage concerns.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Efficient and clean installations. Many reviewers say the installation itself was impressively efficient and clean, with crews described as professional, skilled, and communicative. These comments are consistent across roof and solar-related work. Representative review excerpt: "They were professional, skilled, and communicative, and the installation itself was impressively efficient and clean."

Crew attention to repairs and cleanup. Some reviewers note that crews handled small repairs right away and left the job in good shape after the work was done. These comments point to a generally careful approach on site. Representative review excerpt: "I asked one of the employee Victor Beria to just fix something while he was working on the roof, he quickly fixed it as I couldn't reach the roof."

Site-care complaints appear in a minority of reviews. A smaller set of complaints mentions debris left behind, leaks or gutter issues, and concerns about damage during the job. These reports suggest site protection and cleanup were not always handled to every customer’s expectations. Representative review excerpt: "The did use a blower to clean a lot of this, but the small rocks and tar that fell into the French drain will be pretty impossible to get out."

Long-term support & performance

Long-Term Support8.0/10

Post-install feedback is mostly positive, with reviewers saying systems continued to perform well and that staff were attentive after the project ended. The limited complaint set focuses on service follow-up, documentation, and repair expectations after the initial work was completed.Solar.com's composite of published customer feedback, not a customer quote

Strong system performance after install. Several reviewers say they are very happy with their solar and battery systems and would recommend Sierra after seeing the system operate over time. These comments suggest solid post-install performance for many customers. Representative review excerpt: "We're extremely happy with our solar and battery system and would absolutely recommend Sierra Roofing & Solar to anyone considering going solar."

Helpful follow-up and support. Some reviewers describe attentive calls and useful explanations after the work was finished, including staff listening carefully and discussing what they would have done differently. These comments reflect a responsive service posture after install. Representative review excerpt: "It was a very pleasant call, he was very attentive and listened and shared what he felt they should have done from the start and their philosophy on the business."

Repair and documentation disputes in a few cases. A small number of complaints mention dissatisfaction with repair outcomes or requests for labeled photos and other job documentation after the work was completed. These reviews indicate that post-install support was not always experienced as complete or satisfying. Representative review excerpt: "I called manager again and explained again I want labeled photos of all the work done as per the contract we signed in end of March bc Sierra offers a..."

Bottom line: Solar.com’s review corpus shows Sierra Roofing and Solar scoring strongest on workmanship and post-install performance, with generally positive feedback on installation quality and system operation. The main watch-outs are less consistent pricing clarity, timeline reliability, and communication during some projects, where reviewers report delays, scheduling changes, or difficulty reaching the office.

Important context: this chart shows investor-owned-utility records only. Companies that shift work toward municipal-utility territory (LADWP and city power departments) or other states will show declining bars here even while building steadily elsewhere, and 2025-26 records also lag real installation dates. Treat this as a partial window, not the company's full trajectory.

How we built this data

Methodology: Counts are residential PV interconnections in investor-owned-utility territory (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E) per CPUC Rule 21 public records through May 2026. Postal and name variants are merged. Municipal utility territory such as LADWP, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Anaheim, and Riverside Public Utilities is not included in those CPUC counts. Counts show recorded installations, not quality ratings. Reported costs are self-reported on owned-system interconnections. No installer can pay for placement.

Who we are: Solar.com is a solar marketplace — we connect homeowners with installers and earn a fee when projects move forward. These rankings and scores are computed from public installation records and published customer reviews. No installer can pay for placement, and no installer — including those we work with — can pay to change a score.
